Canis Major – the Big Dog Constellation: Canis Major belongs to the southern celestial hemisphere and is visible at latitudes between 60°N and 90°S. Observers from the Southern Hemisphere can see it between November and April. In the Northern Hemisphere, the constellation appears from December to March and rises so low above the horizon that the southern part of it is barely visible.

Love that Gathers Souls to Heaven
The Elders say that Earth was the Creator’s enduring offering of being alive in a living world. All things respond to Unconditional Love. Living is the Experience.
The Dog is the living demonstration. All our furry friends offer the opportunity to Feel Unconditional Love. We don’t expect them to be anything but what they are. A Dog wants to be there when we’re suffering. Love is a Force of Nature.
The Cherokee paired Sirius with Antares as a dog-star guardian of the “Path of Souls.” The Dog is faithful unto death. Love leads the way beyond the Milky Way, “where the Dog’s ran.”

Greetings Beloved Kin,
1 Dog / OC
The 13-Days of 1 Dog/OC are guided by both the Dog and the Monkey/CHUEN. Wherever the Dog goes, the Monkey comes along.
Dog/OC holds the Master’s Position 10, and Monkey/CHUEN Position 11. They stand in affinity at the top of the 20-day uinal “pyramid climb.” Dog is the Divine Inspiration of Love, and Monkey/CHUEN the Creator that expresses the Beauty of Love.
Monkey/CHUEN brings along a sense of Humor and Curiosity. CHUEN is the Divine Artist that Creates the Masterpiece of our Life.
The Dog explores life with all 5 Senses. The more we engage our 5 senses in every experience, the more alive and real the Truth will be. Every climb is a journey to higher understanding and Consciousness of the Truth.
Monkey is the thinker – that engages Higher faculties of Reason, combined with the Passion to Know. CHUEN is the “inventor” in us that loves to put the pieces together to create a Beautiful Life.
Our Heart and Mind will be connected as One, in Divine Trinity. The Dog seizes every opportunity to be “man’s best friend.”
Human Nature includes the instinct to grasp and hold another hand.
God created Love by Divine Design. Love is the Reason for Living.
The Opportunities are endless to Love something on Earth. The Monkey/CHUEN creates Love by finding out everything it can know about the Way to manifest the Reality of Love. We’ve done a lot of research. Nothing is better than the Truth we learn by our own experience.
The Monkey/CHUEN has the Sense to know that Humans have a very curious way of showing love. Sometimes Love is letting someone else “off the hook” when you have every reason to complain.
Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:34 NIV
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Our Divine Mission calls us to Serve Love every Day. Love is a Choice to See and Acknowledge another Human Being.
The next 13-Days is an adventure of Unconditional Love. Love yourself and stay within the boundaries where Love can grow. Expect Love to hurt once in a while. The Dog never holds a grudge, but moves on to the next available opportunity. Love is the Truth we leave behind that reveals itself in God’s Time.
In the meantime, we Love to express how we feel about it. God knows everything and always understands. We can’t make anyone understand. Real Love seeks to understand everything there is to know.
A CYCLE OF DARKNESS (AND LIGHT)
White and Yellow Day signs represents cycles of Darkness – the Unknown Truth we learn by our own experience. White represents the Element of Air. God’s Word spoken in the Wind can change our state of mind. Blue and Red are cycles of the Light of incoming inspiration. The Monkey shares the Element of Water. The Spirit of Love is born through the Heart.
THE 9TH UINAL
This 20-Day cycle holds the Intention to see the Big Picture. 11 Sun/AHAU completes the end as the Source and Substance of Unconditional Love.
THE HOLY DAY OF AWARENESS
8 Earth/CABAN raises our Consciousness to Love as the most Divine Force of Nature. Love is God’s Clarion Call to Live with all our Heart. We don’t have to put our life on hold, until “the One” comes along. The opportunities are endless here and now. Anything we Love holds the Power to make our Life complete.
Venus is shining for us. Maybe her Beauty and Love will be powered-up by the Solar Winds the Sun blasted in her direction. Venus, and Love, will be brought to Light in a Way we haven’t seen before. Remember the “gifts” the Dog brings home. It’s not always pretty, but no one misses the Love that’s shining in the Dog’s eyes.
THE GUARDIAN OF THE CYCLE
We Ascend on 13 Wind/IK. Wind represents the Power of the Word to reach the end Intended to Be. God’s Truth will arrive like a Hurricane with the Power to change the landscape of our life. Don’t forget, we’re supposed to Love our Self, too. Then we’ll have more to share with everyone else. 13 Wind is “God’s Will that SHALL Be.”
Genesis 17:7 NIV
7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
Revelation 21:3
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
love, in lak’ech, “i am another you”

St. Faustina’s Prayer for Sinners
Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: The Humble Instrument
Sister Faustina (1905-1938) was a young, uneducated nun in a convent of the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Poland during the 1930s. She came from a poor family and had only three years of simple education. She became known for her extraordinary revelations of Mercy from Jesus who directed her to record the experience, which she compiled into notebooks. They are known today as the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, and the words contained within are God’s loving message of Divine Mercy. (This is the Opening Prayer of The Divine Mercy Rosary. You don’t have to be a Catholic to be blessed by the rosary prayers. Rosaries engage the 5 senses and elevate our prayers to a tangible experience.)
PRAYERS FROM THE FIRST WATCH

Fourth Watch: 3 am – 6 am – Prophetic prayer because you are commanding your morning with prophetic decrees and declaring God’s word

THE TRECENA OF DOG/OC: THE CREATION OF LOVE
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.
The Dog/OC trecena is found in the 3rd Season of the Tzolk’in Guide:
VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)
NOTE: If you haven’t kept a Journal of your Count of Days, you can look for the Synchronicity of Time in the major experiences of your life.
1 Dog/OC (Cherokee, Wolf/ KANA’TI) – Day 1 of 13 of the Dog/OC trecena.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and FREE Tzolk’in Calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with.
Dog/OC: Loyalty and faithfulness that survives beyond death. This was the first day of creation energy in this 4th world, setting the energy for love, loyalty and faithfulness on the 5200 year cycle. Heart chakra energy is involved so that we can move to the state of “unconditional love” with compassion. All sexual desire issues that are not in harmony will surface to be cleared.
A GOOD DAY TO: Enjoy family and friends.
Cherokee, Wolf/Kana’ti – O’Oj: Dog/OC is a symbol of Sirius (Dog star) and Antares; one or the other is always visible but never at the same time. Wolf is our brother, shares our very roots. All dogs are domesticated wolves, companionship and guidance; connecting a link between the worlds; wolf is the day sign associated with teachers, pathfinders and transformers.
