7.25.25 – Day 6/13 of the White Mirror Wavespell – Day Out of Time

It’s the day between years, and the best metaphor is if the ‘stroke of midnight’ on the Gregorian New Year’s Eve lasted a whole 24 hours. Or the waking day, plus the dreams surrounding it. This is just a daylong gift for those of us who follow an eccentric and esoteric calendar. We are organized on this path around totems and mystical implications, and so we get a whole day to make the transition between years, at a slow indigenous pace we cling to by following ancient Mayan teachings. The Blue Rhythmic Storm year is gone. We can’t anticipate the whole Yellow Resonant Seed year, but we can get a pretty clear astrological reading of what it may entail by living deeply and with open awareness on the first day, its namesake and reference point.

7.22.25 – Day 3/13 of the White Mirror Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 26

We’re barreling down to the Mayan new year on July 26. Also called the ‘galactic new year,’ in the legacy of Jose Arguelles. I sometimes say the ‘Natural Time new year,’ or the ’13 Moon new year,’ but whatever you want to call it, it’s our version of the annual renewal that is of course universally recognized as January 1 in the Gregorian. There are differences between the events, besides the opposite times of year, the different high pitch of seasons. But for now, focus on what’s the same. One year is ending, and another beginning. There will be a shift, and a decided evolution once we cross over. You should take time to celebrate, in your own way, or find a spacious way to live where a sense of renewal can surface and be a primary focus. You don’t want to miss the weight of it, and the honor that this tiny pocket of us feel to know about a totally different and esoteric ‘Mayan new year’ at all.

7.19.25 – Day 13/13 of the Red Serpent Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 23

A C0smic day in a Cosmic moon, and the last amplification of energy for the moon, and for the year. As we endure, we transcend – thus arriving at presence. Probably you have been so present and in the moment for weeks now, you are a bit disconnected from reality. That’s the gift of this tone, and why I consider the Cosmic Moon very suitable to the summer vacation experience, whether school age and liberated from the classroom, or an adult trying to wrangle and occupy school age children – or beyond when it’s no longer about an actual summer break and its freedom/boredom, but we still slip out of the tight grip of colder months and a clinical, rational preoccupation with other people’s expectations, with society’s. Instead we slip into nature, or into another culture, or just away from simple dimensional experience. And we are ‘out there,’ in the cosmos, deeply aware of it and one with it, really. This is all about to change again, to the beginning of the cycle and the Magnetic Moon. You will miss this loose pace and being less densely packed with intention or ambition.

7.17.25 – Day 12/13 of the Red Serpent Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 21

Whether it was the accelerating pace of the Cosmic Moon or the intensity of the Red Serpent portals, the last days have been arduous. That is going to ease now, as we finalize our Mayan year and roll into the next. I should say briefly ease, because we have the White Mirror wavespell next, and a Magnetic Moon that always warp speeds us into the new year’s onset of karma. The human world does not work well with reptilian instinct and self-preservation. The Red Serpent time drives up our anxiety and removes the calming effect of higher mind. But we are through it. Another endurance test that we transcend, in the framework of the Cosmic tone, bringing us to presence and ultimately a practice of peace.

7.12.25 – Day 6/13 of the Red Serpent Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 16

The Red Serpent portals don’t have the same kick that I can recall from other intense, searing and reptilian-themed ribbons of the 10-day portal run. Maybe this is the gift of the Cosmic Moon, where we are ushered into a kind of vacation mindset, expansive into the universe instead of dialed into the details of earthly living. When we are ‘out there’ and off-planet, maybe that’s the primary portal. Finishing a tremendous and horrifying Blue Rhythmic Storm year, in the wide lens of the Cosmic view, could just feel like a wide open doorway of perception, and any further portals fade by comparison. Nonetheless, they occur and we are halfway through. See if you can touch in to what that is an old, dead skin, is being touched on in your life but also released. See if you can find the moment in each day when something in your mind or mood is altered, as if by divinity – which is what the ascended Maya are, and how they guide us.

7.9.25 – Day 3/13 of the Red Serpent Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 13

It’s Donald Trump’s Mayan birthday. Just a point of mystification. The great healer, who wants to be of service to others. The downside of Blue Hand is being a know-it-all, full of one’s own certainty and needing to inform others how it all works. I know there are a billion people on earth who consider him a messiah, so I guess it’s also just a matter of perspective. In terms of where Blue Electric Hand shows up in the Red Serpent wavespell, Trump has a lot of the characteristics assigned to this surrounding tribe. He is in service to the reptilian survival impulse. His performance is designed to inspire others to operate from base instincts and me-first ways of persevering and dominating. In effect, like a reptile, this is cold blooded and unfeeling. And he’s a portal, so somehow he’s giving us a gateway, or punching a hole into the foundation that we rely on so that we fall.

7.6.25 – Day 13/13 of the Yellow Human Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 10

Here come the Red Serpent portals. We haven’t had this density of gateways – and wide open entry where things are usually obstructed – in eight Gregorian months. A long time. Red Serpent has a funny kind of truth serum in that we cannot override the body with our mental fortitude. If we’re tired, we have to rest. If we’re hungry we have to eat, and if we’re libidinous, we chase the ways to express that. Core survival needs: sleep, rest, food, procreative sex postures. It’s just how the reptilian layer within our human evolution gets to surface and be central right now.

7.2.25 – Day 9/13 of the Yellow Human Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 6

The Yellow Human wavespell does two things. It exacerbates the human behavioral proclivity of free will. It makes people pushy and grabby and determined to have their desired outcome. What a total drag to endure a jostling overpopulated planet this egocentrism. On the other hand, it makes humans ‘yellow’, or illuminated by light. Sometimes even illuminated from within, the solar rays penetrating so deep that a person is actually ignited for a while and can produce light for others. You will run into luminaries in this wavespell, living or dead, that make you remark, within the din of so many people doing what they exclusively want, what a really enlightened being that is. And you will have your swings into each extreme yourself.

6.29.25 – Day 6/13 of the Yellow Human Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 3

The Cosmic Moon can feel like Long Covid. Brain activity slows, loses focus. The Cosmic Moon can feel like an equatorial vacation, or ‘island time.’ You drift and are languid, willing to finally unwind. Take the pressure off yourself to be effective, a mastermind, to have killer instincts and fierce intention. That is not happening right now. You can still be active when you are sort of slow. It’s just more of a dance than the machine gun fire of incredible accomplishment. It is a necessary spell of lower productivity, because when the Magnetic Moon arrives weeks from now, we will be dealing with a dump load of new, perplexing and overwhelming karma, something that will be undone over many moons until the triumph (that is now) of the Cosmic tone of being between urgencies, in the off-planetary dimension of the cosmos.

6.28.25 – Day 5/13 of the Yellow Human Wavespell – Cosmic Moon 2

The Cosmic Moon is a recognizable summer swoon when we can’t be as direct and linear in our intentions, or expect to start and plow through our objectives. It’s vacation mode. There’s a time lapse for when things get done, or when answers to our needs get fulfilled. It’s loose and off the clock. It’s really sweet and dissolves tension or intensity, as well, once you recognize the spaciousness and feeling of floating that overcomes us. Early on, you can usually feel it as a fervent shift from the Crystal tone and its active plot resolution to our year’s gigantic growth. You can feel the concern with the year’s arc fall away, not labeling or assessing what actually got done. I love this shaping of time, when all is still and the cosmos is our direct surround, not the human species or earthly limitation.
