9.19.25 – Day 10/13 of the White Dog Wavespell – Lunar Moon 28

It’s a Planetary day in the Planetary moon of the year 2025. And I just mention that because it’s not fun or easy. The moon of Manifestation of the year we share throughout most of the global populace is already just so painful. So limited. So pushy and brash with the force of egotism. More to come for 18 days. And today’s intensity, a giant overwhelm, speaks to how hard it’s already been, how it can maintain this level of discomfort throughout, until the wave breaks. Listen to the episode for the clearer examples of such, and hang in there.

9.18.25 – Day 9/13 of the White Dog Wavespell – Lunar Moon 27

If you are a regular listener, you know why this day matters. It’s epic. It’s sort of terrifying. What we have endured so far in the Gregorian year 2025 – aka ‘White Solar Mirror’ – can still accelerate and add to its victims. Please listen for the cautionary ‘prophesy’ about how to move through this extremely intense energy field, and for the reward (of a sort) I’m offering at the podcast’s very end.

9.16.25 – Day 7/13 of the White Dog Wavespell – Lunar Moon 25

Today is the guiding day of the current Mayan year, Yellow Resonant Seed. July 26, 2o25 was Yellow Resonant Seed and the start of the new year. That day is guided by Yellow Resonant Warrior, so here we are. Anything that happens today should be pretty attuned to what is pulling you, leading you for this entire year. The Resonant tone is about being open, hollow and receptive to the divine energy that come from some off-planet cosmic realm and touch down through us. It’s helpful to be infused with spiritual influence. This year is guided by the cause of justice, fighting to protect those who are vulnerable and against the invading marauders. It’s hard in a Lunar, polarized moon to see who is just starting fires from a sadistic impulse, and who is defending the weak and weary. But over the course of this 13 Moon year, we will come to understand it more clearly.

9.14.25 – Day 5/13 of the White Dog Wavespell – Lunar Moon 23

What is White Dog? I think it is about our hearts. Sometimes it’s heart connection, the love between two or several. But it can as easily be about the condition of our heart, and lately it’s more likely there are aches there, and limited function, and weakness. I am not personally noticing heart fire and throbbing love verve. I am aware that my heart is shielded and scarred from breakages over my lifetime. I do love, and I have a bunch of dogs to show me how, but I am not in an arc of heart expansion. I’m in survival when it comes to love and radiating it outwards or receiving it in turn. I operate at minimum capacity. That is here toward the beginning of the wavespell, with time for restoration, and empowerment, to take hold. The purpose of the wavespell is to take stock, then to grow.

9.10.25 – Day 1/13 of the White Dog Wavespell – Lunar Moon 19

It’s a new wavespell – and a new moon in the Gregorian year 2026. What? Natural Time isn’t about the Gregorian calendar, which is arrhythmic and artificial, originally retooled by the Vatican, Pope Gregory. But I have decided to decode the Gregorian year astrology, and the year 2025, starting January 1, is White Solar Mirror. Instead of dividing it into the 12 months of varying lengths, I just overlaid the 13 moons of 28 days each, and in the order we describe any cycle of 13. And we just today began the 10th ‘moon’, even though it’s early in the 9th month (Did you notice that Sept-ember denotes the number 7 in Latin? Again with the chaos of a calendar unmoored to natural rhythms!). We begin the Moon of Manifestation in a White Solar Mirror year of – human sacrifice. And today a political figure was assassinated. The manifestation of sacrifice was so literal. White Dog makes us universally pity the family he left behind, and perhaps love our own cause as much as ever, polarized and tribal in our dog packs. But we can wait to see how things evolve.

9.8.25 – Day 12/13 of the Red Earth Wavespell – Lunar Moon 17

We are winding down the Red Earth wavespell and it should be conscious in you how it’s helped you evolve. Usually at the front end of the wavespell there is karma that presents itself. Some part of our lives shows up to be especially important and topical. Then we spend the wavespell watching it grow, shift, move down the road so that it’s neither stuck in place or doing lightning strikes of dramatic change. We have cruised to a new vantage point or relationship with the karma. I like it! We are in the part of the Tzolkin – the second half – that has some easier tribes for the human psyche. We can do seeds and earth and dogs and abundance much more willingly and smoothly than addiction and snakes and death. So enjoy this part of the Tzolkin while you are in the hard spot of the annual wavespell, its earliest moons. Soon we will be Electric, alleviated by the entrance and assistance of the divine realm.

9.5.25 – Day 9/13 of the Red Earth Wavespell – Lunar Moon 14

It’s esoteric and atypical for most aficionados of the Natural Time calendar movement, but I teach about the astrology of the Gregorian year as well as the Mayan one. Natural Time is careful to reintroduce a Mayan year count that begins every July 26. We know that the Gregorian new year’s is polar opposite, practically, so to move to the Mayan tradition is a departure. And all but a tiny fraction of the earth’s population is fixed on the Gregorian calendar count. So after 25 years of my own practice and teaching, I decided to ‘decode’ through astrology the meaning of each Gregorian year. This one is extremely challenging. 2025 is considered the most fiery, fierce and fast moving version of the human sacrifice ritual that was a ceremonial bedrock (literally, stone benches at the top of pile of stone blocks to form their pyramid) of teaching the advantage of rising from this planetary toil to the celestial paradise with the ascended gods. We are all experiencing sacrifice: loss, upset, disappointment, gut punches and heart break. And on the other side of it we are receiving our own ticket to heaven. The way we are forced to let go rewards us by opening up the divine world to our consciousness. It’s the high peak of this fiery, forceful sacrificial arc.

9.2.25 – Day 6/13 of the Red Earth Wavespell – Lunar Moon 11

Red Earth can make us want to travel, to get on the open road and be unencumbered by immovable objects. It can also incline us toward time in nature, on the earth, particularly hiking our way over its geology, the layered terraces and locked lava flow. So if you vacation time is over with the start of a school year or inclinations toward fall’s seasonal change, then you can just commit to walking the land around you, into the awe of canyons and mountain sides that remind you how much larger the eons of time are for the rock world than our human one.

8.31.25 – Day 4/13 of the Red Earth Wavespell – Lunar Moon 8

The Red Earth wavespell has its various levels. It lets the planet itself show off its supremacy over the human population scavenging off it – so a late summer heat wave or vacation into nature where one is astonished by the OG terrain and prehistoric geology might be a teaching that the earth is eternal by comparison to anything our species endeavors. It also lets you feel like the planet, and the yen to move through space, on the road or in flight, is strong: to cruise, to go the distance, to dislodge stasis and be in motion. Then it also imitates the planet’s volatility – the heiroglyph is of an earthquake’s tremor – and you might want to dance or ceremonialize in ‘ancient’ ways that condition your body to act seismic and tectonically shift.

8.26.25 – Day 12/13 of the Yellow Seed Wavespell – Lunar Moon 4

Thus ends the Yellow Seed portal days. I am not sure if they especially registered. It’s as if we are so far into the vortex of high speed chaos, how can we know what is a wall, and what is a door opening through it? The house is swirling tornadoesque anyway. I think a lot about Yellow Seed representing a dumbing down or simplifying of brain activity and an expansion of other, visceral sensitivity. To light, to dark, to cold and heat. A time for finding a safe place to grow. Pulling back from industry and artificiality. The world is opposite that, mostly, these days, at a fever pitch of productivity and fakery. So we have an opportunity this wavespell, and this long year, to get closer to the experience of plant life, to cry out for simplicity and safe harbor.
