The
20 Wave-Spells
Each
calendar round of the Tzolk'in contains 260 days, thirteen columns of the 20 Day-signs. The
ancient Mayas conceived time as moving waves of 13 days each. The first
day of such a 13-day Wave spell gives birth to a new cycle - like New
Moon. The particular Day-sign which ignites such a 13-day period creates
the original intention, the theme for the entire 13 days. The Wave spell therefore can be understood as the month you're born
in. It represents the pulse of creation you consciously or unconsciously
have chosen to find integration.

true original with a strong and intense urge to nurture. You are an
emotional powerhouse. Be clear with your intentions - they are going
to manifest - you will find ways to make them real.

are seeing life from many perspectives simultaneously. Your life is
a process - you are thrown back and forth - facing internal contradictions

teaching, performance and presentations of all kind. You definitely
love to play. You might have many interests and hobbies.

the ability to bridge the gap from fantasy to fact, applying ideas in
a practical way. You may find ways to make fantasy pay off.

beliefs and reality framework that have become outdated. Don't get lost

are extremely private and reclusive - looking forward with anticipation
to seclusion and time alone. Because your life is very busy these alone
times are precious and may be hard to come by. You own a deep need for
secure foundations, either in intellectual or material ways. Religion
and science may give you intellectual or inner security; possession
of valuables is a materialistic way of obtaining it. You know to honor
high values in yourself and others.

the realms of your inner self, for this may cause depression. Let go
of your rigid ideas and ignore your strong need for security for a moment.

unknown.

lot to offer to the world. Lighten up on yourself and overcome seriousness.
A good belly laugh will readjust you to life and reconnect you with
your senses.
