The Seasons of Summer and Winter
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 06/20/2025
TODAY IS THE SOLSTICE: Whichever hemisphere you live in — today is the solstice! For northerners, it is the summer solstice; for southerners, the winter solstice. Northern summer and southern winter begin at precisely the same time: 10:42 p.m. EDT on June 20th (02:42 UTC on June 21st). Happy Solstice!
ANOTHER X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Sunspot 4114 did it again. On June 19th at 23:50 UTC, the active region produced another X-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the extreme ultraviolet flash:
Radiation from the X1.9 blast ionized the top of Earth’s atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean. Ham radio operators (especially in Hawaii) may have noticed a loss of signal at frequencies below 25 MHz.
The flare itself did not launch a CME into space. However, the explosion appears to have destabilized a magnetic filament in the sun’s southern hemisphere. That massive filament is erupting now, and it may produce the CME that the flare did not.

Mayan Calendar Time
The Sun takes center stage for the 13-Day cycle beginning 1 Sun/AHAU. AHAU is the symbol of the Supreme Lord of Creation.
The 13-day cycle of Sun/AHAU is a Time to give thanks to the Creator as the Source of Abundant Life. As a cycle of Beginning, the Summer Solstice is a time for spiritual reflection and setting intentions.
Sacred Sites aligned with the Solstices:
Stonehenge (England)
On the dawning of the summer solstice (North), the Sun rises directly above the Heel Stone.
Chaco Canyon “Sun Dagger”
Chaco Canyon (New Mexico, USA)
The Ancestral Puebloan people carved spiral designs into rock to track the seasons and record the passage of time. At midday during the summer and winter solstices a beam strikes a petroglyph called the “Sun Dagger.”
Newgrange (Ireland)
For 5 days around the winter solstice (North), a beam of sunlight illuminates a small room inside the mound for 17 minutes at dawn.
Summer Solstice Traditions
Traditional celebrations often involve fire, nature, and feasting. Many cultures light bonfires, dance, and gather for feasts, while others focus on spiritual practices. Jumping over bonfires, gathering wildflowers to make wreaths or flower crowns, and connecting with water is also a common theme; the Sioux Sun Dance is carried out on the Summer Solstice.
TIME TO CELEBRATE LIFE AND ABUNDANCE, GIVING THANKS TO THE CREATOR.
HAPPY SOLSTICE!

THE TRECENA OF SUN/AHAU: GUIDED BY THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT ABOVE
The Highlights, Peak Energies, and Times of Synchronicity for this trecena are included on the 13-Day Trecena Guide.
The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.
1 Sun/AHAU is the 4th trecena of the first season of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1. There’s something more to see when you discern the Truth for yourself.

5 Seed/KAN (Cherokee, Dragon/UKTE’NA)– Day 5 of 13 of the 1 Sun/AHAU trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in FREE CALCULATOR preserved on MayanMajix.com.
Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural net workers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
Seed/KAN: Family, sexual activity and the magic of germination are the characteristics of this sun sign. Natural net workers, Seed people strive to free themselves and others from debt or oppressive patterns of the past. Abundance is gathered by Seeds as if with a cast net. Seed persons are public defenders who work toward uniting community by discovering hidden traps and secret influences of others. To generate true abundance, Seed must learn to appreciate all gifts and lessons received and conduct profound investigations into its self. In the absence of gratefulness and the courage to face oneself, Seed finds itself in less than less fertile environments.
A GOOD DAY TO: Plant, make new contacts, reconnect with others.
Cherokee, Dragon/UKTE’NA: Dragon’s symbol is Draco winding between the Little Dipper and Big Dipper. Dragon is the Corn Spirit, symbol of dual personality of Corn Mother and Maiden. Fertility and pro-creation from generation to generation. The word dragon means ”eye, to look at, to see clearly”. Spirit brings energy of Lawgiver, Justice, vigilance and protective, loyal unto death. Ley lines in China are “dragon lines”, energy is sometimes called “orgone energy”, pyramid power or magnetic force. Pyramids and kivas are collector portals for this energy, known as vortexes. Dragon energy beats a path everywhere, stirring things up with a big stick in tune with the beat of the drum, heartbeat of the Earth.
