You can read my writings & information from the Mayan Calendar Portal on previous Mayan Calendar trecenas here.
So it is pretty clear that Im not always going to write up these trecenas on time. Apologies i have missed a few. The news is that on Feb 11 we started a whole new tzolkin round - a 260 day cycle. In Guatemala, 8 Chuen is often considered the beginning of the trecena, in terms of a "new year" type celebration, because they are responding to the energies of the day, not necessarily the number 1, while other Mayan communities in south Mexico do celebrate the 1 Imix date. It doesn't matter to try and view the start or the end of a round, think of a torus, it just continues. So, 1 Imix marks the start of the tzolkin round in relation to where it fits numerologically into the Long Count and the Great Cycle which is what is coming to completion. I prefer the term completion rather than end, because it is not an end, but a completion of certain evolutionary developments in human consciousness.
According to Carl Johan Calleman's revisited maths on the calendar this is the FINAL tzolkin round before the completion, on Oct 28, 2011. There is some dispute as to whether the glyphs, only decoded in 1976 were calculated correctly when the dec 21 2012 date calculated. This aspect of debate is complicated and often leads away from the point though.
Among the leading daykeepers and elders alive today, the date Dec 21 2012 is not particularly important, nor is any other singular date. After the last 30-40 yrs of glyph decoding and recovery of Mayan calendar information that was destroyed and hidden since the Spanish conquistadores arrived, it is fairly widely acknowledged that focussing on a specific date as the completion moment is really not what this is all about.
As we know, with peak evolutionary moments, we cannot pinpoint a day upon which a key manifestation arose, but we can identify an era. This is one of those eras. Don Alejandro Oxlaj Perez, leader of the Mayan Council of Elders explains that it will still take a generation or so for the developments occurring to day to really be seen in the world. Do you say the sunrise is when the first peak of light is visible on the horizon? Or when the full disc of the sun is visible on the horizon? From which vantage point is this measurement true? Or can we just say sunrise is that span of time, and gradually the light spreads
Each tzolkin round of 260 days has 20x 13 day cycles: trecenas. We have just begun the 3rd trecena of this tzolkin round. From Jan 5 1999, with the start of the 8th underworld, the amount of information we were perceiving in 360 days was equivalent to what we had been previously perceiving in 19.7 yrs with the 7th underworld, from 1755. Prior to that in the 6th underword, things were slower. You can see the industrial revolution being a key part of this speeding up of information. Now, we entered the 9th underworld on March 9 and we are perceiving as much in 18days. Peak grokking! This is coming into real contact with the lightning speed of the third eye function.
The beginning of the 9th Underworld is the day of ascension, March 8-9 going from 13 Cimi (death) to 1 Manik. This relates to the time in this 9th underworld when the energies really become available. 13 is the frequency of ascension and cimi relates to the complete death surrender process that brings about a new birth.

MANIK - The Trecena of Respect
Dignity, strength, humility and power. Respect, honor and integrity. These are the values Manik’, the Deer, embodies. Free of the toxic effects of ego, Manik’ stands head and shoulders above the skirmishes of mankind, the epitome of grace in the face of danger and uncertainty that’s all around him.
Profoundly spiritual and peaceful, Manik’ seeks to impart no violence or harm to others, but does have the raw power to defend himself and others when the need arises. He is no gentle or weak spirit—he crushes the stereotype that states spiritual beings are soft and passive. Indeed, the deepest spiritual thinkers and most balanced individuals carry the greatest personal strength. And what is strength but the direct result of ultimate self-respect?
This trecena, your challenge is to find your strength. This doesn’t mean ramping up your time at the gym or signing up for aikido. It means developing a stable sense of self-respect, without the arrogance, judgment, and ego that often hang on to our psyches, latching on like so many psychic parasites.
Respect without reservation, respect without judgment or self-importance. Respect who you are and what you do for no reason other than because you are here. Respect your inherent talents and skills, respect the role you play in your family and society and the legacy you will leave to future generations. Respect yourself, and live that respect through every pore of your being. It will then naturally flow outward to those around you.
You will find that true respect, for both yourself and others, does indeed build strength—the kind that will carry you through storm and upheaval, and enable you to stand on your own feet regardless of the challenge.

The journey from 1 Manik to 13 Cauac can be described as the power of grace, in true exchange, fertilizes.
Manik is the deer, and although the Yucatec meaning of the word Manik is lost, the glyph symbolises the hand that is used to mean "the hunter". This reflects the symbiosis of the hunter and the hunted. The hunter and prey are not antagonists, but playing out roles in a cosmic dance of endless birth and death. The same god, Ek Zip, who frequently wears the antlers of the deer, protects both the hunter and the hunted. His tree is the cacao tree, of which the cacao beans were used all over as currency, or units of exchange. The book of Chilam Bilam of Kaua says "The wild forester is your nagual. The cacao is your tree".
Mar 14: 6 Eb/E 6 is to dance abandoning your control, and Eb is the humble path of heart. Respond to the music as it plays, not what you have planned or are trying to impress upon the world. Let go of mind ideas, to dance with eternity.
Mar 15: 7 Ben/Aj Resonance with humble power as this moment arises, give thanks to the long ancestry. You are your ancestors, this realisation leads and guides.
Mar 16: 8 Ix/I'x Reflecting above & below, the Jaguar Nagual is the magic woven. Bless the animals, and see the weave, not the differences between sleep and waking, inside or outside.
Mar 17: 9 Men/Tz'ikin The highest vibration of light, and the highest visionary clarity, merge with service. On this day, Men, true love is said to arise. This day can teach you what true love is.
