Wow what a day for this nahual. Can you forward this to Trump who is being inaugurated today? But in all seriousness, made me think of our next four heated with him as leader.

Such is the accuracy of the Cholq'ij that the synchronicity with the presidential inauguration demonstrates the US is on its correct and destined path. There's so much more to say about this within the contexts of the larger wheels of Mayan time, but in essence, I personally place my full trust in the wisdom of the Calendars rather than human thought. 🙏☀️

More food for thought: Interestingly, both Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, fathers of Psychology were born on this day, 10 Aj. Their contribution to the transformation of society is immeasurable and their legacy has forever transformed our understanding of human nature as a whole 🌞🔥🌽

Your comment “I personally place my full trust in the wisdom of the Calendars rather than human thought” is comforting because today’s event did not resonate with me with what the energy for the day embodies. So I will choose to learn from it and will be placing my energy into understanding its wisdom.

Just curious to know why you think the inauguration demonstrates the US is on the right path, but no need to answer if I’m overstepping my curiosity.

In any event, thank you for posting everyday. You are a wonder source of new wisdom for me! 🙏🏼

Beautiful :) Thank you, and no worries, all types of questions help me refine my study. The day 10 Aj falling on the US presidential inauguration is what demonstrates to me the inauguration is straightened (corn stalk, reed, staff), meaning in rectitude (both 10 and Aj are rectitude), in other words, in right agreement, and right relationship with society. Aj is the priest, the community guide. Think of it like a Tarot card reading, asking it what the energy of the inauguration is, and that's what it responds. 10 Aj is very beneficial energy for society. I'm so glad you're enjoying the interpretations, thank you for joining me in this study, Josie!

Putting all my faith in this 🤞🏽 thank you for explaining. I bought The Book of Destiny written by your mentor so I’m hoping to expand my knowledge. I think it’s so beneficial for society to learn about Mayan wisdom. So I was inspired to host a vision board gathering with my local community and incorporate the sacred Mayan calendar into each person’s vision for 2025. With the little bit that I’m learning I hope it sparks curiosity in others. Any tips or suggestions youmight have in how I can present nahual and tone information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.!

That's wonderful! That book by Elder Carlos Barrios is where I learned Jung and Freud's Mayan birthdays were 10 Aj. Nice synchronicity. I'm so pleased you'll be experimenting with the Cholq'ij for your vision board gathering! On my Substack's tabs, you'll see 13-Day Energy Forecast which gives a brief outline of auspicious ways of interacting dynamically with this living time system. They're shared every Trecena (13-day cycles) and you can plan your activities, intentions and prayers with this tool. It's paid but you can unlock a free trial. I offer this system with all my love and lots of hard work, so it's a great way to support my work if you feel called. Thank you so much for sharing how this is impacting your life!

Yes, i'm a paid subscriber so I can see the energy forecast! my event is on the 25th so I was waiting for the new Trecena to start so I could read the forecast. more importantly, I don't want to botch the explanation of the sacred calendar so I was wondering what are like 3 -5 takeaways to tell people. so far I have: The Mayan sacred calendar, or Tzolk'in, reflects an ancient understanding of time as a series of cycles — beginnings, growth, transformations, and renewal. Unlike our linear calendar, the Mayans saw time as a continuous flow, where each day carries a unique energy that can guide our actions and intentions. By discovering your personal Nahual, you connect to these ancient rhythms, aligning your goals with cosmic forces and natural cycles. Just as the sun rises over ancient temples, each of us can awaken to new possibilities, planting seeds of intention for growth, abundance, and clarity in the year ahead

Beautiful! This version you're following is the Cholq'ij, the Tzolk'in is the same calendar but the Peninsular Yucactan version, or Mexican version of the calendar. The nawales and number energies are written in K'iche (one of the Guatemalan Mayan lineages), as is the name Cholq'ij.

I love the writing you've developed! The book you just got, the Book of Destiny, will greatly help your understanding of this system and how it works. Thank you for your paid support, dear Josie! It's hugely significant for me. Maltyox! ('Thank you' in K'iche)
