I often struggle with between talking about the positive side of the signs of the tzolkin and the negative. I try very much to balance between the two and I feel that I did that with yesterday's post, however after yesterdays events in Toronto I thought it would be good to discuss the dark side of Oc with a bit more depth.
Yesterday as the trecena of Oc began, a sign of causality, fate, companions of destiny for good or ill, there were two considerable attacks in Toronto. One mass shooting, a targeted attack with 5 dead or injured, 6 including the shooter, and another more random attack on the subway with 6 people injured, attacked by a woman reportedly with a bottle, though the details are still a bit sketchy. These two events highlight the dark side of Oc. Given these happened on day 1 of the period it's a good idea to be more mindful of ones surroundings, and the mental wellness of those we're interacting with. 1 is associated to Imix, the first glyph, the dark side of which is madness. Oc is the 10th glyph and does traditionally have negative connotations. Considered to be an ill omen. The events that happen during these days or with people who carry the sign have likely been noticed since the birth of the Tzolkin. A modern example of a person with the sign comes from a killer in Australia who was born on the 10th day of Imix, 10 Oc, and though not knowing that himself he knew his volatility and begged to be kept in prison for the crimes he had already committed. He was released despite telling the police that he would probably kill someone. And he did go on to attack multiple people in a spree leading to the death of an innocent girl. Killed for no other reason than that she was alone on a bridge in a beautiful dress appearing to be talking to a bird. The predatory madness that seeing this innocent girl talking to a bird caused in this man led to him stabbing her to death. Yesterday we saw that kind of madness in the events that played out in Toronto. When the negative side of Oc is triggered many people are often involved in the outcome. When Oc was first brought to my attention in this way was back in 2014 around the time that I discovered the Imix Coil, the day 6 Oc, the 6th day of the trecena of Chicchen. 6 pedestrians were hit by cars in Toronto that day. Ever since then I've kept a more keen eye out for Oc days, and days with 6, the tone of Cimi/Death. And that's where my struggle with trying to keep things positive with Oc and any signs with a more considerable dark side really comes from. So I pulled my punches yesterday. I don't want to feed into fear and paranoia, but the reality is that the nature of our environment at this time is far more dangerous than we're used to, here in Toronto at least, and these events are themselves signs of the period and the energy it's brought. In June a woman was set on fire by a stranger on a bus at a subway station at the end of the line. She ultimately died due to the injuries. The day that happened it was 4 Oc in the Dreamspell. We just passed 2 Oc in the Dreamspell 6 days ago. On that day a memorial was held on the subway for a stabbing victim that took place at one of the stations. Yesterday I mentioned that events can also be reckoned with on Oc days, this would be a great example of that. There have been numerous incidents recently that make the city a lot less safe than years past to say the least, complete with a guy who recently had been randomly slashing peoples faces while walking and minding their own business (he's since been caught), and another person stabbing strangers with a needle in the downtown core. They have not been caught, with incidents going back to March of 2022 but kicking up again in the past couple of weeks. Given the period we just entered into and how it began we may see a steep increase in these kinds of attacks over the next week or so. With Christmas itself falling on the perfect center and beginning of the peak period of Oc which happens to align with 13 Imix in the Dreamspell, we must be extremely cautious. This is not a time to provoke people should someone be in a mentally unstable state, and it's a time to trust your instincts if something just doesn't feel right. Get off the subway and take the next car, leave the party with a trusted companion if things feel wrong. Or just don't go to the event to begin with. Christmas day will be 7 Cib/Vulture, in the positive it's a time for the forgiveness of sin and for consideration of spiritual matters, but in the negative Cib is associated with vice, the abuse of substances or the body, as well as long term planning behind crimes. It may be a day where someone is likely to take their own life as well as others, where a simple planned confrontation can rapidly get out of control. People have been so isolated with the pandemic there may be more compulsion during this time to act out. So beware, watch out for each other and stay safe! 13 Imix leads into the trecena of Ik, the second glyph, a sign associated to children. With today being 2 Chuen, Chuen being the 11th glyph and also a sign associated to children (and the trickster), the signs point to the importance of the proper guardianship of children and possible predation of children during this time. The days always interact with the birth signs of the people involved. Those with Oc and Imix in their birth chart should be especially careful of their own emotions and mental state, as well as others. Generally the nature of the conditions associated with any given sign can happen to someone with that sign as much as they can be perpetrated by someone with that sign. May God take us all under his great wing and protect us during this evil time.

Today December 19th 2022 we enter into the trecena of Oc/Dog in the Tzolkin, while we reach the perfect center and beginning of the three day peak period in the Dreamspell period of Muluc/Moon, 7 Men. This alignment between the beginning of the Tzoklin periods and the center of the Dreamspell periods began in 2020 and will shift in 2024 with the leap day, and with the completion of the first recorded Omega Coil. This shifting alignment creates 4 year periods with very specific relationships between the calendars. Oc days and trecenas are always intense. Oc is the sign of quantum destiny so to speak, of causality. For better or worse Oc periods bring us to people, and situations that are intrinsic to our personal and collective story. The duality of Oc is that it the negative situations that can occur are also brought to justice at these times. Sam Bankman Fred comes to mind at the moment. A person who's negatively affected so many peoples lives, and only recently in jail, no doubt we'll see some movement on that situation in the next 13 days. As we approach the solstice, and the Christmas holiday weekend the community energy of Oc is at the forefront. People, family, co-workers, or their absence will all carry an extra weight. For many this is the first holiday season that people have been able to get together since before the pandemic, the duality of celebrating this coming together, and for many too, mourning those who were lost and can no longer be here with us. It's not all joy, and it's not all sorrow. There is an emotionally sobering weight, a maturing that's possible as our situations work out through this Oc period. With 7 Men/Eagle joining 1 Oc, the long view and high road are easier to take. We can feel the emotions, our senses much more raw, but also honed. We can rise above the small storms and see the big picture. Allowing us a greater depth of appreciation for the good in our lives, even for the good we long for in our lives, and the steady intention that will allow us to create it. Socially Dogs and Eagles are both hunters but their realms are very different. They can stay out of each others way pretty easily. Individually this can represent our physical body (Oc) and our spiritual and mental self (Men) and the different ways the senses draw us forward and into action. The Solstice The shortest day of the year soon approaches on Wednesday the 21st. It's the turning of the corner to longer warmer days and easier times. For 2022 this day falls on 3 Eb/Road of Destiny in the Tzolkin, and the peak of the Dreamspell period 9 Caban/Movement. This is highlighting us moving on, moving forward from the things that we've been dealing with. From moving past the pandemic, to moving past personal patterns that were holding us back. It's a hopeful sign of good things to come. The choices we're making now have a massive impact on the direction our lives take from here. Choices that will shape not only to road ahead but the very landscape itself. It can be both empowering and scary. This is definitely not a time for apathy, and definitely is a time for being open and considerate to others. And for considering not only the immediate path ahead, but our ultimate nature and destiny. It brings to mind Matthew 25:31-40... The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ Happy Yuletide, and to all those celebrating Hanukkah, Yule, & Christmas may this season bring you blessings and peace! |
