4.27.25 - Day 8/13 of the Blue Hand Wavespell - Planetary Moon 24

We're in the Blue Hand wavespell's 'occult day,' and it's a good time to review what the Occult partnership between tribes means, and how they're calculated. The magical numeric code within the Tzolkin is part of what you can geek out on, and it drives this path as being good for both side of our brain and keeping our mental acuity activated. We are also looking into the last few days of the Planetary Moon and the breathtaking awareness that this is it for a vertical climb toward enlightenment and accomplishment in this surrounding Natural Time year.

4.25.25 - Day 6/13 of the Blue Hand Wavespell - Planetary Moon 22

It's the last week of the Planetary Moon, a time when we are for 28 days looking downward at the planet from a peak that we spent the whole year climbing. Most of an uphill haul we cannot help but be fixated on what's above us, but when we arrive at the pinnacle, the view turns to what we accomplished, what we left way behind. I find myself distracted from spiritual matters in the Planetary tone. And by now, that's grueling and imbalanced. It will not be long before we are cast back to earth, or sea level, by the wave's dissolution. One more week of Planetary fixation and single focus.

4.21.25 - Day 2/13 of the Blue Hand Wavespell - Planetary Moon 18

We are in Donald Trump's wavespell. It isn't just his home base, designed to be comfortable. We all can have real clunkers when it comes to returning to our soul center. It is rather a great moment to look at the distillation of the Donald Trump karmic imposition, on yourself, on your country, on the world. He may thrive - or he may reveal more clearly who he is, authentically, behind the mask of a hapless, stunted and sheltered aristocrat. He is pretty in tune - by total accident - with the Mayan cycles, regularly acting out their essence. So it's worth watching closely and seeing what mystical explanations arise for all this swirling, intense karma and reckoning with one titular man.

4.16.25 - Day 10/13 of the White Wizard Wavespell - Planetary Moon 13

A Planetary day in a Planetary Moon - aka a 'Magic Turtle Day' - really brings into focus what this 10th tone feels like. It feels weighty, earthen, dense, a bit intractable, not fluid, not aerated, and definitely related to what happens on this planet with human beings. There was a moment, maybe for me at the start of studying this calendar decades ago, that a Planetary moment might have felt like a day deep in nature. Go for that if you can, meaning get out into the wild, find the non-human-centric way of being alive on earth. But without that intent or luxury, prepare for the Planetary tone to be a reveal on WTF we as humans are doing on this planet, what we're doing to this planet, getting a glimpse of our craziness and our plight.

4.14.25 - Day 8/13 of the White Wizard Wavespell - Planetary Moon 11

The first two wavespells of the Tzolkin are way less cerebral than the Blue Hand one starting in a few days. Enjoy this momentary fuzziness, feeling-centered unfocus. It's a bit like not having it all together, but also stepping into the grandeur of more divine realms. You don't have to snap awake, grab a cold shower, smarten up right now. Just be adrift like a spring vacation and track your tasks as they happen without as much charge of the future unfolding. When we come to Blue Hand, we will have that wake up call, alertness and hyper-attention. It's not even fun, but maybe a necessary method to grounding ourselves from where we are lately cosmic and celestial and timeless.

4.10.25 - Day 4/13 of the White Wizard Wavespell - Planetary Moon 7

We are in the Planetary Moon as from my experience, it's limited. It's a time of noticing our sentience, instead of our eternal soul, and being landed here on earth instead of afloat and dreamy in the cosmos. So it is weighty. It is compressive. It seems to dull some senses, and certainly our minds. I recognize it from a thousand other Planetary passages. It will pass. We are simultaneously a bit adrift from the timelessness of the White Wizard wavespell, ourselves shaman healers for a moment or also receiving that clarifying insight from somewhere divine, pressing into us a breakthrough, a release. It's okay to be semi-unconscious, in a trance. The work is subliminal, and doesn't require consciousness.

4.6.25 - Day 13/13 of the Red Dragon Wavespell - Planetary Moon 3

It's the last day of official Mercury Retrograde and you will have to breathe and be patient with yourself as everything goes totally awry, whether communication or mechanical failure or those issues conjoined. It's not ever going to get completely easy when we have such a hyper-interactive and digitalized world, Retrograde or not, but you can at least use these moments of mayhem to learn strategies for going inward, letting go of perfect outcomes, noticing that there is magic when something astral has such an everyday impact. It's also the end of the Red Dragon wavespell, and onward we go into White Wizard. There is a hokey old phrase for the sleep between wavespells, the dream space: magic flight. You fall asleep in Red Dragon and wake to White Wizard, and in between you might go somewhere amazing.

4.4.25 - Day 11/13 of the Red Dragon Wavespell - Planetary Moon 1

We enter the Planetary Moon, the peak of the annual 13 moon wavespell. Everything that began last July and August is reaching its highest manifestation and achievement in the next four weeks. You can't pick what your achievement is, but you can be present and awake each day of this moon watching it arrive. You will of course get a sense of it as it becomes material, and this process is magical, invigorating, awesome and also fraught. We are simultaneously experiencing the end of an ascent that has been rising for the entire Natural Time year. Gravity is going to keep us from going any further, and so we will notice our accomplishments, but also what is going to prevent us from endlessly achieving more.

3.31.25 - Day 7/13 of the Red Dragon Wavespell - Solar Moon 25

The Red Dragon wavespell is like waking a sleeping beast, or seeing one stir from a primordial swamp. I describe this as a power move, but not an aggressive one. The feminine divine focus is on being present, holding space, taking up space and being solid - but not pushing in or aggravating. I think that more invasive approach belongs to the male archetype. We are in a time of finding our roots, our depth, our weightiness, our strength. It's quiet and can be like a sneaker wave to others, or when the quietest kid at school finally erupts. That selective outburst, or show of strength, can be very impressive. See where you are quiet and still and where you are explosive.

3.28.25 - Day 4/13 of the Red Dragon Wavespell - Solar Moon 22

Mercury Retrograde is impeding communication and technological ease. At the same time, the Solar Moon - a fiery, charged time of intense focus and drive - is wearing our physical bodies down with all the accelerated activity. There may be a convergence of exhaustion and frustration. We can't move as fast as we've been launched the past few weeks because we are being slowed and weighted by the way Mercury Retrograde impedes clarity and ease. It's important to see that as your verve wains, you are simply coming to terms with the end of a cycle. We had fire and ferocity of intent, but it's shifting now from warp speed to lava flow.
