9.5.25 – Day 9/13 of the Red Earth Wavespell – Lunar Moon 14

It’s esoteric and atypical for most aficionados of the Natural Time calendar movement, but I teach about the astrology of the Gregorian year as well as the Mayan one. Natural Time is careful to reintroduce a Mayan year count that begins every July 26. We know that the Gregorian new year’s is polar opposite, practically, so to move to the Mayan tradition is a departure. And all but a tiny fraction of the earth’s population is fixed on the Gregorian calendar count. So after 25 years of my own practice and teaching, I decided to ‘decode’ through astrology the meaning of each Gregorian year. This one is extremely challenging. 2025 is considered the most fiery, fierce and fast moving version of the human sacrifice ritual that was a ceremonial bedrock (literally, stone benches at the top of pile of stone blocks to form their pyramid) of teaching the advantage of rising from this planetary toil to the celestial paradise with the ascended gods. We are all experiencing sacrifice: loss, upset, disappointment, gut punches and heart break. And on the other side of it we are receiving our own ticket to heaven. The way we are forced to let go rewards us by opening up the divine world to our consciousness. It’s the high peak of this fiery, forceful sacrificial arc.
