8.24.25 – Day 10/13 of the Yellow Seed Wavespell – Lunar Moon 2

The Lunar Moon instantly sets us up to feel that there are problems in our lives that did not have the same intensity or focus in the Magnetic Moon. In the earliest part of the Lunar Moon, it’s like an assault on our senses to go from complacency or curiosity to wanting to register complaints. Something new that formed in our lives this Mayan year suddenly has a downside. The hints at complication or discomfort pulsing through the Magnetic Moon are now here in bold, underscored. And my advice is to lay low, breathe, weigh what you don’t like – and recognize that you can’t eliminate it. It’s a part of your yearlong karma. It’s a challenge, yes, but one you’re going to have deal with and grow through, rather than try to dodge or diminish. We can also expect that others who do not follow Mayan spirituality are still going to have this edge. And I do recommend slowing down, stepping back, calming your own central nerve system as you adjust to your own challenges, rather than being immersed in others’ as well.

8.20.25 – Day 6/13 of the Yellow Seed Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 26

Pretty much come to the end of the Magnetic Moon, so please pay attention to what you can deduce your purpose is for this year. It’s what came your way the last few weeks. It’s perhaps the release of some element of your life that formerly consumed it, or it’s a continuation of what you have been cultivating for a handful of years. Your purpose can be something active, or it can be the deactivation of what was occupying your mind and heart. It’s obviously likely to be the fluctuation between these extremes. Some endings, some brand new beginnings. We shift to the Lunar Moon imminently, and it has a way of being challenging while identifying challenge. Take a note before we encounter that kind of intensity. Right now the question is What is my purpose? Consider writing it down.

8.18.25 – Day 4/13 of the Yellow Seed Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 24

The Yellow Seed portals are here. They feel like fresh new growth and wide openings, but take note – they are usually indicators of what is to come, but not necessarily what is going to happen immediately. The seeds give you indicators of what you might grow in your garden, but it takes a minute for them to come into bloom and fruition. We are also in the beginning of the Natural Time year, so it feels new and promising, and not at all close to full manifestation, so the tribe and tone of the moment is in synch. Remember that the Yellow Seed wavespell is also a microcosm of the Yellow Seed year, and see what arises as a prophecy for you in this time.

8.15.25 – Day 1/13 of the Yellow Seed Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 21

The Yellow Seed wavespell arrives so soon after the beginning of the Yellow Resonant Seed year. It’s going to be helpful for us to be steeped in Yellow Seed so directly, so early on, to better understand what this year represents and beholds. Yellow Seed is the tribe that celebrates plant life, plant cycles, from seed to bloom and beyond. We are less cerebral, less carnal, and in some ways less complex. But we are hypersensitive to our environment, what helps us grow and what impedes us. We are drawn to light and sated by waterfall, and we suffer and draw inward away from extremes. Let this next 13 days be your augury for the year. What happens within it may be the microcosmic view of the whole, which is just at its inception with so much yet to discover and karmically play out.

8.12.25 – Day 11/13 of the Blue Monkey Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 18

Blue Monkey, the wavespell, is a slog through child-centric behavior, and sometimes trauma. We have had a stretch of impulsivity, playfulness and magical thinking, and now it’s time to get serious. It’s familiar that this point in the summer is when we start to think of fall, and the return to school or work and the demands of a descending darker season. It’s always around now that we click into gear for our Magnetic Moon of the Mayan year, and can’t avoid or let go unnoticed what is our emerging purpose for the whole 13 moons. This, also, makes us more sedate than the Blue Monkey tribe is capable of. Hopefully you had fun, and lightness of spirit, or were just oblivious to the ‘adult’ demands of our culture, and can return to it refreshed, relaxed and open.

8.8.25 – Day 7/13 of the Blue Monkey Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 14

Somehow, sneaky and quick, we are already at the threshold of the third week in the West of the Magnetic Moon. Things will intensify! We have the full moon peak, Mercury slipping out retrograde into its direct station, and the heightened, accelerated emotionality of the week in the West, the place, too, of transformation. Your mission is to keep calm and carry on, but I advise withdrawal from the fray, especially if you’re taxed and tired by life at the edge of the apocalypse. I don’t know how good humanity is at centering and breathing, so if you enter its crowds, you might add to the overwhelm this astrological moment is delivering. You can be overwhelmed and tidal and emotional and in the heart of transformation while also at the edge of the throng.

8.4.25 – Day 3/13 of the Blue Monkey Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 10

We’re hitting the part of the Blue Monkey wavespell that feels childlike, a set of days that disengage us from earthen reality and let our imaginations soar: Red Skywalker, White Wizard, Blue Eagle. If you are getting dizzy and disoriented, lost from logic and serious demands, that’s exactly what this wavespell asks for. We’re rewound back to our OG child selves, and also seeing this very current world through a child’s gaze. If you want to just think about monkeys, then notice primate is the same as being primitive. Right now we are less complex and closer to the simplicity of being here now, but with all these fireworks of our active, explorative imagination.

8.2.25 – Day 1/13 of the Blue Monkey Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 8

The Blue Monkey wavespell begins and instantly seems like a descent back to childhood issues that might not be resolved. Some of that is pure fun, irresponsibility and play. Some of that is seeing the world through imaginal magic and illusion. And then there’s childhood trauma, or disruption, or patterns that formed back there that disempower you now. So it’s a balance of what is great about childhood, and what was hard for you especially. Because this is the wavespell that coincides with the Magnetic Moon, you can say that your purpose in this new year includes the qualities described by the Blue Monkey tribe. Being fun and silly, getting a break from the adult-level misery of enduring our society’s current failings. And also digging deep into childhood issues, and becoming free of them, resolving them into your adult nature.

7.30.25 – Day 11/13 of the White Mirror Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 5

The White Mirror wavespell’s intensity breaks today and ends its ascendency and strongest impulses. You were sacrificed in some way, perhaps you suffered. That action has passed and the end result is that you also feel closer to the divine realm, separated by force from the human relationships or the human condition. It’s work to endure the wavespells that make up this section of the Tzolkin, and you are almost through the specialized intensity they bring. Next is the Blue Monkey wavespell, and the broader Blue Monkey ‘Genesis’, which is how the second half the Tzolkin is articulated. We are midway, and truthfully there’s less hard work in the Blue Monkey realm.

7.27.25 – Day 8/13 of the White Mirror Wavespell – Magnetic Moon 2

The new year began yesterday and we could pay attention to what Yellow Resonant Seed might represent by what unfolded over the day’s events. I noticed that I was focused – the way Yellow Seed ‘targets’ and is earthy, on course for physical manifestation. I also noticed that I wanted to be close to nature, and also very sedentary. Blue Storm, for the past year, has been very turned up. I am anticipating that we will feel more static and stable from now on. Perhaps it was a psychic kind of day. I am acclimated to that, somehow, but we are now in a year of being Resonant, of having messages and inspiration rattle through us from a divine source. It’s okay if your ‘Mayan new year’ wasn’t as fiery and party-hearty as what the Gregorian holiday pushes. We can celebrate the 13 Moon renewal, but what we do here – in the path of Natural Time – is mostly pay attention, using our intuition and high sensitivity to be more awake. So a new year is a lot of new information, and in fact some weighty, meteoric new karma, so it might not also be fun.
