We entered 2023 with a new trecena in the Tzolkin and at the perfect center and beginning of the peak of the trecena in the Dreamspell.
January 1st 2023 took its place as the first day of the first 9 day period in the 10th of 13 Coils that began on January 1st 2020. 9 days that will end of the first half of the 10th Coil and bring us to the peak of the trecena we entered on the first. 1,1,2,3,5,8,4,3,7,1,8,9,8,8,7,6,4,1,5,6,2,8,1,9 January 1st was 1 Akbal/House in the TZ and 7 Lamat/Rabbit in the DS the center of the trecena of Ik/Wind. The energy of Akbal will be with us through the year, as it would through the life of someone born on this day. Akbal is the House, the Womb, the night or darkness, the place where the spirit or consciousness rests before birth, or as we sleep and dream. It pertains to that which contains, like the shell that holds the seed while it gestates. It's a transitory space, which is also eternal, from which we come and to which we return. The house can represent our freedom but it can also represent our lack of it. As an adult our home is our own, but as a child our house is the domain of parental authority. The nature of authority in this way will become more predominant. With more non familial people, even strangers, sharing housing as adults now the challenges around whos will and way defines the space can become more heightened as natural instincts come to the forefront and the desire to create a space of our own becomes stronger. 2023 will be a year of dreams, ideas seeking to be born, but also a year of possible isolation, and confinement. As we withdraw from the chaotic outer world, that which exists with us in our private spaces and thoughts becomes more important as we judge and assess how we live, creating our reality within the realms we can control and bring into order. Characteristics of a deep longing for sanctuary, an appreciation of its importance, a need for safety will be met with inspiration and a sense of coming into our own. Even if the solid form of a home doesn't manifest quite yet, the sense of what it needs to be will become much more clear. For some though this year will be much harder. Withdrawal from the outer world can be met with an inability to cope, rather than withdrawing from chaos they will be withdrawing into it, their own or another's. Those who tend towards controlling tyrant like attitudes and behaviours will likely be much more intense this year. Some people deal with their internal chaos by controlling others. With 1 Akbal being aligned with 7 Lamat, there is a light in this darkness. Lamat is the Rabbit, we see this symbolism not only here but in the fact that 2023 is the year of the Rabbit as well in the Chinese calendar. A gentle creature, the food of nearly every predator, but with great power in and of itself. To the Aztec and Maya the Rabbit is a scribe of the Gods, often shown with Ix Chel, the patron goddess of the Age of Aquarius, representing fertility. This alignment suggests that which is vulnerable will be sheltered and protected, that 2023 will be a year of fertility and creativity. A great year for writers in particular. 7 Lamat is the center of the trecena of Ik/Wind and Spirit. It's through honoring the spiritual reality all around and within us that brings this light into the darkness. That brings inspiration to our pen. That can guide us and give us endurance to face the dark night of the soul. We are more than just bodies, flesh, accidental connections and electrical impulses. We are spirit, a fractal part of creation. Spirit animates the flesh, with consciousness, through our spirit we can transform the dark inner spaces in our world into spaces of light. Each Imix Coil has two halves with 12 periods in each. The first half of the Coil begins with two periods consisting of 1 day each, the second half consists of two periods of 8 days each. The second half of the coil has a greater density, or a higher vibration than the first. We begin the second half of the 10th Coil on January 10th, as the peak period of Akbal ends, with 10 Eb in the Tzolkin, and 3 Caban/Earthquake in the Dreamspell. Eb is the skull or tooth, also the road of destiny. I've likened it to the body, that vessel the spirit is born into, that is the first non negotiable aspect of the lives we will live, it's also a form of a house. Issues to do with our body and health will be coming to the forefront. 10 is a deeply dualistic tone, with heavy karma always attached to it. Things must be reckoned with. Caban sometimes represents the struggle between the spirit and the flesh, or the mind and the body and this symbolism is definitely appropriate for 2023. The nature of our choices, good or ill, will be evident. And we will live or die with the outcomes they bear. I wish you well this year, and that you honor which must be honored for you to move through this space and time to come out stronger, happier, and more alive. Blessings to 2023 and hope for those who will surely struggle, may we keep them in our hearts. ~ S ~
