8 Seed/KAN
(c) Copyright 2015, Debra Malmos

Galactic Tone 8: Harmony and balance; weighing evidence to reach a balance of justice. The power of organization demonstrated in the statement, “as above, so below”; from simplicity to infinity

Seed/KAN: Family, sexual activity and the magic of germination are the characteristics of this sun sign. Seed strives to free themselves and others from the debt or oppressive patterns of the past. Abundance is gathered by Seeds as if with a cast net.

Cherokee, Dragon Ukte’na: The Sky constellation Draco represents this sign. Dragon represents Matriarchy, the Great Mother Figure. Dragon is the Corn Spirit, the dual personality of both Corn Mother and Corn Maiden. This Sign is fertility and procreation, generation to generation.

A Sacred Gift

From the mystery of Akbal we emerge to a new day, Seed/KAN, holding new inspiration with which to fire our seeds of intention. We are made fertile soil through love and forgiveness of ourselves and others.

8 Seed/KAN holds within it the Earth magic of germination – the ability to emerge and grow into something brand new. The seeds we have chosen require some help in our garden. We can nurture our seed/KAN with the acknowlegement of its inherent wonder and magic. We can love the ‘generations to generations’ of seeds that have now brought THESE seeds forward. Every living thing flourishes within the light of love.

“As above, so below.” The measure of the joy we receive is directly proportional to the love we give.

Love that you have been given a magical seed that has within it the power to become something beautiful. Give it the ‘love of your attention’ as the care and nourishment needed for it to grow.

To all my relations, I have been given a Sacred Gift that holds the energy of abundance. Help me to honor it in a good way so that I may receive the full expression of the beauty in its creation.

in lak’ech, i am another you

ASTROLOGY NOTES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5UqcRWJ_Nw
This is significant time of giving birth to a new identity. The daykeeper Seed/KAN emerges as Venus conjuncts Mars on October 30. (The energies of the Mayan Daykeepers subside as the Sun sets, and the new Daykeeper begins to emerge.) Venus conjunct Mars is the meeting of the God and Goddess under Jupiter as the Overlord. It is the meeting of the divine feminine and masculine, the yin and the yang, through which there is promised a new birth… in perfect synchronicity with the potential of all creation held within this day, Seed/KAN.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 16 – Darkness Brings the Light

Oct30

7 Night/Akbal (Cherokee, Hearth / O’ya)

7 Night/AKBAL

7 Night/AKBAL

Galactic Tone 7: Reflective; 7 stands as the mirror to divide light and dark and reflect all that is and is not. 7 is associated with the source of creation and the flow of divine will. 7 establishes the purpose to current and future goals.

Night/AKBAL: Bringers of the Dawn, the dreamers who bring the new sun to clarity and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void – a place where nothing yet exists, but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. If Night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity. Cherokee, Hearth/O’ya: Night Totem OWL,Guardian of the Night Sun.  Energies for the opening of mystic secrets, see through the masks of deception, trickery.  High ability of discernment.  Portals open to other worlds and dimensions for your learning and spiritual growth.  Magical abilities are possible.

Darkness Brings the Light

7 Night/Akbal exists to reveal the mystery of Spirit “where nothing yet exists, but all potential dwells.” To receive Akbal’s blessing we must be willing to travel into the void to know our own darkness. Akbal gives us the courage to look within, where our greatest blessings may arise from seeing those parts of ourselves we prefer to avoid, deny, or keep hidden.

Under the 13-day trecena of Earth/Caban we are being lead to create a new world. Days 7, 8, 9 represent the peak energies of this trecena. What you are meant to see may be revealed as a ‘peak experience’.

The place for healing is here. Dive deep into the void and embrace what you may learn from the sticking points and stubborn places that resist the changes necessary to create your new world.  Surround in light whatever darkness you discover and love it for the new understanding it brings.

As we learn to love even our shadow, our darkness is transformed into light. From our courageous journey within we are  empowered from the source where all potential lies to remember that miracles are possible.

To all my relations, thank you for the ways unseen that you are ever-present, helping to guide me through the darkness and into the light.

in lak’ech – I am another yourself.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 15 – Breathe Love

Oct29

6 Wind/IK (Cherokee, Whirlwind Agalu’ga)

Galactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.

Wind/IK: Breath of Spirit, breath of life. Wind embodies the power of dissemination and planting of good seeds or ideas. Those born unto IK are dreamers and planners with powerful imaginations, spreading the word of inspiration as carried by the wind. Cherokee, Whirlwind Agalu’ga: The Cherokee symbol of the whirlwind is a double spiral helix in rising smoke and related to the direction of the North. In Cherokee, the constellations are represented by 12 birds (dancers) and the 13th bird is the Whirlwind, the lead dancer.

Breath Love

6 Wind/IK

6 Wind/IK as Air, is among the primary elements required for human survival. Our earthly lives begin with our first breath.

From the in-breath we draw our life and inspiration from source. The out-breath is the dissemination of ‘who we are’ to the world around us. How we use our voice/breath in the world always reflects the condition of our heart, whether or not that is our conscious intent.

Galactic Tone 6 calls upon our desire to be in right relationship with the world. IK exists that we may be breathed by Spirit of the highest frequency, so that the out-breath may embody harmony and love.

Breath is a healing force. Acknowledge IK with humility and gratitude and direct Wind/IK through your breath into those places in the Body, Soul and Spirit that desire to be healed. Use your out-breath and your voice to extend healing and love to the world around you.

Be breathed by Love.

Breathe love.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 14 – Nourishing Spirit

Oct28

5 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee, Turtle, Dak’si)

Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment; Center of the cube, intelligent, organizing force managing communications and materials, knowledge and application. Number 5 symbolizes the fifth element (Saq’Be’)

Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile energy represents the primordial spirit who lives primarily in water but from which land-based life forms evolved. The Yucatecan Tzol’kin calendar begins with this nawal.  Crocodile holds the secrets of the underworld and helps us translate them to the material world. Crocodile represents the left side, unseen and occult forces. Crocodile has the opportunity to meld the differences from opposing sides to create peace and balance between the heart of the heaven and heart of the earth beneath the World Tree. (Mayan Cross); Cherokee, Turtle/Dak’si is the creative focus of relationships between two, loneliness, dawn, awakening, birth.

Nourishing Spirit

Arbol del Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico – Tree of Life*

5 Crocodile/IMIX stirs our memory with the ancient wisdom that we are born of Spirit into matter. Elemental forces support our soul’s evolution. The first four elements are Earth, Water, Fire and Air. We are empowered through the fifth element – the Element of Spirit, the ether, or space as defined by Ayurveda tradition. Spirit is the binding force that connects us all.

These are the 5 basic elements of alchemy. Alchemy was thought to be a scientific pursuit with the objective of transforming base metals into gold. Though the real pursuit, veiled to escape religious scrutiny, was to discover the means for Spirit to transcend from Matter… the evolution of the Soul. Crocodile, asks us to remember that our true identity is that of Spirit existing in a material body.

We are drawn to offer a blessing and hold in gratitude all that nourishes our Spirit. Stand ready to receive a Spirit blessing. so that you may create peace and balance between the heart of the heaven and heart of the earth, extending love to all beneath the one World Tree.

*  Arbol del Tule in Oaxaca, Mexico is believed by the Maya to be the original World Tree – the Tree of Life. The Montezuma Cypress is estimated to be over 1600 years old with a circumference of 42.0 m (137.8 ft).

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 12 – Alignment with Purpose

Oct26

3 Storm/CAUAC (Cherokee, Redbird Totsu’hwa)

Galactic Tone 3: Movement and communication which becomes vibration; establishing a point of agreement between any Point A and Point B

Storm/CAUAC: Day of blessing of rain, giver of all life and lightning, a gift of nitrogen to Mother Earth and ozone to Father Sky; feeling of unity, security and warmth experienced in the home while tempest of trouble rages in the world outside. Storms exist to experience the ecstasy of freedom with great capacity to learn and teach. Cherokee, Redbird Totsu’hwa: Symbol Alcyone, of the Pleiades constellation Taurus; the Central Sun of the Universe, heart of heaven; symbol of nurturing, the lightening nurtures and energizes.

Alignment with Purpose

3 Storm/CAUAC brings the movement of dynamic developments and change, clearing away what no longer serves. As Storm/CAUAC draws us to the comfort and security of home, we are also drawn to realize what is central to our lives. Here we can see what changes are necessary to support our soul’s purpose.

What am I holding onto that prevents me from walking fully into my own integrity? Storms are capable to change the entire landscape of our lives and sometimes in dramatic ways. Though we may not always understand the changes as they occur, the reasons will be clear in hindsight.

Cauac brings the energetic of ‘lightening in the blood’ to align our heart and Spirit with our Soul’s Purpose. Accept these important changes with enthusiasm, knowing that they bring a desired blessing and the answer to a prayer.

12 Days of Gratitude, Day 11 – The Journey Within

2 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee: Flint Dawi’sgala)

Galactic Tone 2: Duality; to be or not to be; the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined.
Flint/ETZNAB: Mirror of reality; as struck flint – divine sparks of intelligence; flint is the sword of truth cutting falsehoods away.

The Journey Within

Journey Within, April Peerless

Journey Within, April Peerless

Under the the galactic tone 2 we are drawn to look at both sides of a matter to determine the best way forward. Flint’s divine spark offers dynamic realizations, and as the obsidian mirror, helps us to clearly see to the heart of any matter.

Earth/CABAN is a plane of vital force (Earth Magic) upon which to draw our inspiration and healing throughout this 13-day trecena. In our Earthly walk we are surrounded by the powerful elements of nature. Air, Water, Fire and Earth. As Humans, this is the stuff we are made of.

There is a fifth element referred to as the Element of Spirit, the aether, and the vibration that connects us with the cosmos and all of creation.

Draw within. Through Spirit we remember we are also forces of Nature with a shared connection to all that is. The path that will be made clear will be brought to the forward of awareness.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 10 – Divine Forces of Nature

Oct24

1 Earth/CABAN  (Cherokee, Heron Guwi’sguwi)

Galactic Tone 1: The beginning of all things, the whole, the all of One. Like a new dawn, today we receive divine inspiration that will guide us through the next 13 days.
Earth/Caban: Keeper of the garden of Earth. Profound synchronistic connections to Earth’s natural cycles and energies and the memories of ancient wisdom; being connected to the dynamic forces of nature. The Cherokee sign of Heron/Guwi’sguwi is the energy of perpetual movement.

Divine Forces of Nature

Earth - The Divine ConnectionFor the past 13 days we were inspired to see ourselves and our world in a new way. The next 13 days is a time to synchronize with the rhythm of the Earth and reconnect with the Divine Forces of Nature as a means of integrating new knowledge to support our own personal growth and to assist in the guidance of others.

Earth/CABAN is the place of perfect centeredness in the eternal present moment – the place of direct access to all knowledge, ability and talents. If we are prepared to listen, Earth/Caban will provide guidance on how best to manage a new project or our next intention, giving the new movement, behavior, and the talent to realize it.

We are bioelectrical beings living on an electrical planet. Science has confirmed that when we are in direct contact with Earth, we receive the subtle energy from Earth’s surface electrons that nourishes us and stabilizes our biological rhythms, boosts self healing mechanisms, reduces inflammation and pain, and improves sleep and the feeling of calmness. (See Earthing)

In today’s world, we are insulated from the regular contact with the Earth. Now is a time to dedicate a time and place to reconnect and synchronize with our first Mother.

Honor the Earth. Feed the Earth with your offerings of gratitude. Walk barefoot in the grass and restore your connection to the dynamic forces of nature. Expect miraculous answers and solutions to appear as you need them.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 9 – Ancient Wisdom

Oct24

13 Wisdom/CIB (Cherokee Owl / U’guku)

Galactic Tone 13: Ascension; assists us to go to the next higher stop, propels us to try something new or to try again.
Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients; ancient memories held in sacred sites all over the world; inner strength enabling introspection to discover the treasure within.

Ancient Wisdom

13 Wisdom/CIB completes the trecena of Dog/OC, which symbolizes a journey from the darkness into the light, a rebirth that forever changes our world. The 13-day trecena peaked on day 8 Monkey/Chuen/Batz, the New Year and the day of spiritual initiation. And now, the trecena reaches ascension on 13 Wisdom/CIB with the culmination of all knowledge.

To all my relations, thank you for well-worn paths from the footsteps that have gone before, and for the Spirits present and past who have helped to illuminate the way.

“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Galactic Tone 12: Understanding; 12 is a gift of great capability of retrospection, the accumulation of experience to be applied as knowledge that serves as a spiritual catalyst

Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth; Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit.

Eagle Vision

Eagle Vision12 Eagle/MEN nears the end of another 13-day trecena. This is a most important trecena that peaked on the Maya New Year (8 Chuen/Batz/Monkey) that is  celebrated with the initiation of those on the Spirit path.

Dog/OC has been the prevailing energy of this trecena as a faithful companion and guide through the darkness and into the light.

In some Native American traditions the Eagle symbolizes the Thunderbird associated with thunder and lightning. Eagle is a sacred messenger, carrying our prayers on its wings to the Great Spirit, returning with gifts and visions for the people.

Spirit Vision: We are not born into sin as unworthy creations. We are higher than the angels. We are the ones able to call forth power upon the interdimentional plane to support the manifestation of every potential desire born of the human Spirit.

12 Eagle/MEN brings understanding that will serve to carry us forward and elevates our vision to the heights of the Eagle. Once you’ve seen it, it can’t be unseen.

21 Days of Gratitude, Day 6 – Beauty in Contrast

Oct20

10 Reed/BEN

Galactic Tone 10: Manifestation
Reed/BEN: Connection to our Spiritual Essence

Beauty in Contrast

watcherThe dark, the light, and the varied array of colors in between are needed to create any masterpiece. The beauty is found within the contrast. To achieve great success at anything, one must overcome failure. To feel connected, one must know isolation. To experience happiness, we must know sorrow.

In order to be made whole, we must accept all the parts of who we are. We only have to look outside ourselves to see that we are not alone. And, by looking within, we can see the balance reflected in the whole picture. In truth, the obstacles in our lives are the key opportunities capable of propelling us forward.

10 Reed/BEN encourages us to make the connection to Spirit where all things return to balance. I am grateful there is always a source to turn to, and that for EVERY dark hour there is a dawn.
