6th - 18th April 2009

Trecena: Chicchan (Serpent)

So what is the agenda for this Trecena? Lets look at its main characteristics. It is the 9th Trecena in the Tzolkin. The agenda for this 13 day period is instincts, kundalini and life force. The serpent is a powerful symbol within many cultures. To the Maya it was so sacred that they made this calendar in honor of it. Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent is the central character in their mythology. The Serpent Trecena contains ten portal days and the 13 day journey through this Trecena is very intense. Many life changes occur during this Trecena. it is a time to shed your old skin and emerge renewed and healed. It is a time to transmute the poison in your soul. It is also time to balance your base chakra (kundalni).

This period favors merchants and warriors – it’s a good time for traveling, for launching an expedition, or for going “boldly where none have gone before.” In ancient Mexico soldiers marched to distant battles during this period. What you find today are confrontations, daring discoveries, and revelations of secrecy making the news.
