~ Start at the blue X and follow counterclockwise ~
The spirit enters the womb at around 90 days and day 90 on the Mayan calendar is in the NATURE kawak Week 7. That's the vertical right row of dots going straight up the right side. The drawing shows the spirit "piercing" the womb. If one is conceived from around the beginning of the DOG Season day #250 and the last day #260, that NATURE week 7 is when the spirit enters the womb.
Day #1 of the 260 is... 1 "imix" 1 "Water Lily Creature"
The first 13-day movement is from the inner position out > > to day 13, from Inner World to outer world. Then right, across outer position for 13 days. Then a movement in, inward, toward the Inner World for 13 days... and so on.
The top horizontal 13-day row of dots going right to left across the top of the Calendar is Blue SEED k'an Week 12 and the candle in the yop stage drawing is pointing at day # 156 which is 8 Monkey chuwen and is Mayan DayKeepers Day. DayKeepers Day is an all day long ceremonial festival honoring the new spiritual initiates and apprentice DayKeepers, and the Spiritual Elders.

At the top of the Aztec calendar stone circle of 20 glyph symbols is a gateway above the last day, symbol AJAW, and the first day, symbol IMIX. The highest point in the sky above AJAW-IMIX is the most powerful SOUTH gate. Going counter-clockwise the next gate is above AK'BAL Night, the gate to the days in the West. At the WEST gate is the CHIKCHAN Serpent at sunset, and KIMI' Dream death. At the gate to the days of the North is LAMAT Star. Above the NORTH gate sits pals OK Dog and CHUWEN Monkey. The next gateway is near yellow BEN Reed leading to the days of the East. At the entrance to the gate of the EAST is MEN Eagle, and KIB' Guardian angels met you at the dawn and sunrise. Rising up thunder ETZ'NAB' Flint opens the gateway to the days of the SOUTH and the ascension of AJAW and the rebirth of IMIX.
Aztec Calendar Stone layout with the 20 Mayan Day Glyph Names
Introduction to the Basics
The Mayan calendar IS the universal time code to the unfoldment of Creation in space/time. It's very interesting. Back in the summer of 1987 many of my friends wanted to know all about it, especially after we heard it being described as both the world's most accurate calendar, an ancient Sun-Venus calendar that can track Venus, Mars, and the lunar and solar eclipses. The 260 day count is just 6 days less than the 266 day nine-month womb gestation period for human beings. 260 + 6 My first word of advice for anyone getting started is...don't get hung up on the meanings of the 20 day sign symbols. That can be a snare. Many names and "meanings" of the 20 day glyph symbols vary from region to region there in Central America. So don't get entangled to argue about the names and the "meanings" of the 20 day glyph symbols, and their "official" names. The keywords chosen by this editor to help encourage the various aspects of discussion have been evolving as the research brings things to Light. We're sure as you study and draw the glyphs yourself that they do reveal themselves, sometimes radically different than they may to someone else. Truth be, Dr. Hawkins states that, "Everything is imagination." The real key to actually "using" the 260-day calendar is knowing when the major shift points occur...when each 13-day week starts and when day 13 rolls around...knowing when the 20 day month begins and when it completes...noting the five 52-day shift points and when the Season Exchange Days occur within the four 65-day Seasons. There are only about four "original" calendars known to exist and they all highlight only the symbols for day 1 and day 13 in each 13 day week. The 20 day sign symbols you'll see here here are the best examples I could come up with after studying hundreds of original ones in various Mayan codice texts. I created them for my charts and all were drawn using "sacred geometry" pii spiral pattern parameters. This was back in the late 1990's while living in Sedona, Arizona...in the Land of the 260 Days. Sedona is the spiritual center of the southwest for Native American people and is located in northern Arizona, at the bottom of the huge rim of the Colorado plateau which covers four southwestern US states, and about a three hour drive from the Native American communities of the Hopi. The 260-day calendar is the sacred calendar of the Hopi.
* * * * The ancient 260-day Mayan Calendar is the worlds most accurate calendar.
The Mayan calendar system exactly charts the orbits of both Venus and Mars, AND the Solar and Lunar eclipses!
"They knew the secret timing to the Great Lights in the sky."
The ancient 260-day Mayan calendar is composed of 20 (TWENTY) 13-day "weeks. " 20 x 13-days = 260...the total days in one full Mayan calendar cycle.
The 260 days are composed of 13-day "weeks." 20 of them in all. And the calendar utilizes 20 day sign symbols which is the Mayan month of 20 days. It takes 260 days to journey through all possible combinations.
The 260-day cycle is about six days short of the 266-day 9 month average human birth cycle!
A series of four 13-day weeks together create a "bundle" of 52 days and FIVE (5) of these 52-day bundles together make the sacred Round of 260 days 13 days x 4 = 52 days 52 days x 5 = 260
The charts below show these 52-day shift points on a Map of the 260 days and upon reflection, it revealed itself to be... a Musical code...the Octave! utilizing the same "pattern" as a piano keyboard layout.
And the calendar is also sectioned into four 65-day "seasons." 65 x 4 = 260.!
Recent studies on habit breaking or habit forming behavior revealed that it takes at least a minimum of 18 days for new behaviors to begin to feel comfortable (Mayan 20-day month) and on average 66 days for the new behavior to be fully integrated and set (Mayan 65-day season).
The 20 day sign symbols signify each 20-day Mayan month, of which there are 13 in number.
The calendar also has four "seasons" of 65 days each:
The yellow Serpent chikchan Season ~ Sprout Roots Instinct
The red Dog ok Season ~ Nourish Compassion Love.
The white Eagle men Season ~ Pray Envision Project
The blue Lord ajaw Season ~ Sun Ruler Ascension.

First off let's climb up to the top of the hill so that we can see the entire landscape.
Lets look at an overview of the 260 days on a map so we can see the entire picture, then we'll zoom in on the specifics.
We'll first look at a blank map with these key sections highlighted...
The map below has the 20 Mayan day sign symbols across the top and are read left to right, from the first symbol Water Lily Creature across to the 20th symbol Lord.

Also at the top are:
the four colors: yellow, red , white and blue identify four medicine hoop Doorways that lead into each Directional Gate and they function also as the Year Bearer symbols:
yellow Reed (East) red Flint (South) white Night (West) blue Star (North)
The m market days are every five days, and are also the Season Exchange Days, in their time and in their season: Serpent , Dog , Eagle and Lord
and the red circles indicate the FIVE major transitions, the 52-day Houses of Time and the key Levels of Consciousness at levels 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1,000, of course,
Under the 20 symbols are 13 rows of 20 days each which indicate the 13 months of 20-days each and the also the primary color and placement of the twenty 13-day weeks.
Basic 260-Day Calendar Map
The 260-Day Map The 260-days arranged into a grid of 13 twenty-day Months. With the twenty 13-day Weeks and 20 symbols, the five 52-day cycles and four 65-day Seasons and the Five 52-day Houses of Time.
Now lets look at the 260-Day Map with the 13-day numbers for each week identified and also the Season Days in red font with dotted lines and the day numbers from 1 to 260 listed in the left hand column row info boxes along with the tones for each number and month...
Click HERE to view the complete 260-Day Map chart
The complete 260-Day Map has the 20 symbols at the top and under them are the 13-day weeks starting at the top right corner and moving across to the right. >>> So the first day is number 1 under the symbol Water Lily Creature (which I sometimes abbreviate to WL Creature in other charts and calendars.) Day #2 is number 2 under the symbol Wind, and so on until day #13 of 13 Reed.
There are 5 key transition points at the following Mayan days which signify the 52-day cycles (13 days x 4 = 52 days). These FIVE 52-day cycles represent the five Houses of Time. Notice it takes 52 days for a yellow day number 1 to reappear again.
One night after work back in 1997 I had colored in the rows in which each 52-day cycle started. Something looked familar. I had colored in rows 1, 3, 6, 8, 11 and 13. Then I turned the chart sideways and...WOW!...saw a familiar row spacing "pattern" similar to that of the black and white keys on any piano keyboard!
The revelation of the musical scale connection to the Mayan calendar, was an emotionally overwelming experience of awe and grace. It just dawns one...there it is!
The beginning day of each of the 52-day House are located at:
House ONE ~ House of shadow Desires day # 1 = Ab in the 20-day row 1 yellow 1 WATER LILY CREATURE imix
House TWO ~ House of Good Works day # 53 = A# in the 20-day row 3 yellow 1 REED ben row 3
House THREE ~ House of Reason & Love day # 105 = C# in the 20-day row 6 yellow 1 SERPENT chikchan
House FOUR ~ House of Being day # 157 = D# in the 20-day row 8 yellow 1 EARTH kab'an
House FIVE ~ House of Divine Radiance day # 209 = F# in the 20-day row 11 yellow 1 WATER muluk and the G# point at the end of the last day #260 13 LORD ajaw which shifts away from G# into A flat (Ab) range at the beginning of day #1 1 WATER LILY CREATURE imix.
G# and Ab are the same tone, but G# is what I call the "God Tone." It represents Divine level 1,000 at the top of the scale of consciousness.
In the 13-day daily tone designations I use tone Ab to represent day 1 rather than G# because it indicates a movement away from G# towards A, so the first 20 days of the calendar are in Ab range, moving toward A.
Whomever designated the letters A-G for the musical scale notes really knew what they were doing.

The 20 Mayan day sign names are generally considered to be known. Any other key words to help explain them is completely subjective. Go from town to town in the maya lands and ask around and generally people there either don't know or don't say. There is disagreement even among the Mayan "elders" in different towns and regions. So while we generally know the basic maya names for the 20 day signs, their "inner meaning" and "usage" is strictly a personal understanding...as it should be. Feel free to explore your own personal interpretations and revelations as I did. That is when the real "knowing" begins. Dr. Hawkins likes to point out in his books that..."a thing IS what it is...that IS its' meaning."
The ancient Mayan codices the 20 day signs are shown grouped into four sets: by the four sets of glyph groups around the four sides of the inside ring on the Madrid Codex below...
and the four Year Bearer daysign glyphs: Night, Star, Reed and Flint. as seen on the Aztec calemdar stone medicine hoop ring below.
At the top of the Aztec calendar stone circle of 20 glyph symbols is a gateway above the last day, symbol AJAW, and the first day, symbol IMIX. The highest point in the sky above AJAW-IMIX is the most powerful SOUTH gate. Going counter-clockwise the next gate is above AK'BAL Night, the gate to the days in the West. At the WEST gate is the CHIKCHAN Serpent at sunset, and KIMI' Dream death. At the gate to the days of the North is LAMAT Star. Above the NORTH gate sits pals OK Dog and CHUWEN Monkey. The next gateway is near yellow BEN Reed leading to the days of the East. At the entrance to the gate of the EAST is MEN Eagle, and KIB' Guardian angels met you at the dawn and sunrise. Rising up thunder ETZ'NAB' Flint opens the gateway to the days of the SOUTH and the ascension of AJAW and the rebirth of IMIX.
The South Gatekeeper is reborn Water Lily Creatures
Gateway into the West begins at Night At the West Gate is the Serpent The West Gatekeeper is the Dream (transformation, death)
Gateway into the North begins in the Star At the North Gate is the Dog The North Gatekeeper is the Monkey
Gateway into the East begins at rising Reeds At the East Gate is the Eagle The East Gatekeeper is the Guardian
Gateway into the South begins at thunder Flint At the South Gate is the Lord Sun Ruler The South Gatekeeper is reborn Water Lily Creatures
The 20 day signs follow a four-day pattern in order on the calendar: yellow, red, white and blue. The yellow day signs initiate each four day series. The red day signs shape what was initiated. The white day signs multiply what was shaped. And the blue day signs ripen what was multiplied.
So the day signs have a relationship by color. When you scan the 20 day Month chart above, the yellow day signs all cross reference each other, the red day signs all cross reference each other, the white day signs all cross reference each other, and the blue day signs all cross reference each other, as they are seen grouped together around the middle of the actual Madrid Codex above.
a little storytelling with some of the 20 Mayan symbols
So now it's time to share a little storytelling with some of the 20 Mayan day signs...
All life is LIGHT. The Light is strongest at mid-day, at South Gate, from the Radiant Rul, the Sun Light LORD ajaw who gives birth to The Movement of the 10,000 Things...WATER LILY CREATURE imix. The most ancient forms of life began in the oceans, in the water, and changed from simple bacteria into more complex forms by genetic mutations. All physical life forms on earth, and all plants and creatures, arose from these early beginnings. All these forms have very simple awareness and search their surroundings for energy sources outside themselves. They are aware of their surrounding yet are not aware or concerned about the wants or needs of other life forms in their local environment. And over millions and billions of years of time all kinds of genetic mutations made possible all the forms of life we witness today. We humans still have at the base of our brains the primative "reptilian brain" wherein these primitive basic survival skills are imprinted and run 24/7.
The first mayan day sign symbol birthed from the LORD ajaw lightfield is the WATER LILY CREATURE.
Many aquatic plants have their roots in the muck and arise to the surface. This day sign signifies the most primative life forms and creatures which all have awareness but no concern for others. These life forms are very low on the scale of the 1,000 levels of consciousness. When we witness wild animal behavior we don't call it "bad," we just understand that wild animals are just trying to survive without concern for others. All levels of consciousness below level 200 are aware but also just trying to survive without concern for others. The "spiritual lightbulb" is NOT yet turned on or present. This survival instinct is present in all living things. It is the prime initiative and initiates all intention. They "know" not what they do, so we have compassion for them but we also "watch our backs," so to speak, when around them (as a general lesson--not literally, as in someone who is born on this day).
The second mayan day sign in the south sky is the WIND or breath of life. Every life form has a subtle non-physical energy pattern, essence and spirit which determines its identification and destiny coming into physical form at birth. Every thing has an "essence" or spirit group energy which makes it what it "is." The first thing we do after being born is to breathe and begin the first repetition, the first pattern, of a rhythm. Each element on the scientific Table of the Elements represents a name someone has given to a pattern of energy. Its all just energy, people, place and things
The Gateway into the West is at NIGHT.
These spirit rhythms multiply and build into repetitive echo patterns, and so the third symbol is the NIGHT sometimes shown with multiple dots or stars in the sky. The Aztec calendar name for this symbols is the Temple and a variation on that word is "template." Some mayan ruins are both temples and astronomical observatories with slots in the walls and cielings to pinpoint stars during their yearly cycles. The temple is the template to the heavens above. All variations of the Night day sign have the wave pattern near the bottom. Notice the little triangle pyramid connected to the sky.
Here in the West harvest sign we have the entire Blue Corn life cycle, seed, plant, fruit. These patterns are ripened into a code or SEED which is the container containing all the instructions for further expansion. The seed is planted in a channel home base. The Aztec calendar names this day sign Corn Plant. I once planted Hopi blue corn seeds in a community garden in Sedona. First one knells down and says a prayer of blessing while holding five blue corn seeds. Then one picks up the planting stick and penetrates the earth, twirling it around to open up the mother earth. Then one places four seeds in the bottom, one for each direction, then one in the middle unto which the others will be supported. Then one pushes the ground over the seeds with the planting stick and thumps the ground gently with a heart-beat rhythm to firm the loose soil. Then one stands up, takes one large step over the planting, and knells down again. The blue seeds are planted in rows with irrigation channels on each side. The water (energy) flows to where one channels it to.
Before the West Gate is the SERPENT. The seed begins to instinctually sprout root and stem, in spiraling design.a
After sprouting, the root is grounded to mother earth and the stem naturally pushes up to seek the light. Within is all that is needed to be. This is the day sign DREAM. Close your eyes in the sunlight and see red. Like a stem cell which can potentially become any organ the body requires, one becomes what one truly is...shaped by local conditions and karmic possibilities to love, and work and be of service to the Divine. One changes course many times, throughout one eternal life with many earthly chapters, and the compass is set to the true direction that comes from within. The Divine dream, the movement of the 10,000 things, is forever intertwined in the physical dimensions. The night before my mother passed on, I dreamed of our family all on a boat braving a stormy flood. And she was leading us all in singing... "Row...row...row your boat...gently...down...the stream...merrily...merrily...merrily...merrily...life is...but a...dream."
Grounded to the earth, growing up, seeking the light, with an inner truth and respect for the hoop of life, one Divine will branches to the many and gathers together that which sustains life. This is the work of our HAND. The Aztec calendar sign is a deer with antlers, symbolizing the one branching into the many. Isn't it amazing how our one awareness branches into our 10 fingers and 10 toes...our little family of 20.
With so simple an example of our one will branching to our many, how then can we not fail but to also realize the Divine Presence branching to be with us and in us all?
That is quite a brain and heart teaser right there...so let's stop now and let you give it a try... Try a little storytelling of your own now with the remaining symbols.
Mayan Units of Time The 13 Numbers and Tones
The 13 Numbers and Tones
There is no known ancient written texts explaining the meaning of the mayan 13 numbers other than to mark each day. We know that the numbers were written in a dot and bar notation style and always in black color. The number 1 is represented by one dot, the number 2 by two dots, the number 5 by one bar, the number 6 by one dot above one bar, the number 10 by two bars, the number 11 by one dot above two bars, and so on until number 20 which is represented by a clam shell symbol. I don't know where Jose Arguelles came up with his number qualities and names, and he doesn't mention where in his writings, at least at the time I moved on from his work around 1996. Maybe he has since then. It seems to be based on numerology. I had a problem with that. Not with him but on the general lack of explanations even the experts seemed stumped by. So you don't have to have any "meanings" for the numbers, unless it's out there that I don't know about which is a real possibility. Drop me a line if there is. I realized the connection to the 13 numbers to the musical scale in 1997 one night while temporarily living alone in an old 16-foot camper in Sedona,Arizona relaxing after a hard days work as a plumber at the public golf course just south of Bell Rock. I realized the connection of the numbers and musical notes to Dr. Hawkins levels of consciousness around 2005 and it created for me a fractal journey through the levels of consciousness, a Hero Journey that takes one through the Underworlds and Heavenly Realms. It created a way to study the 1,000 levels of consciousness on a weekly 13-day basis and also over the entire 260-day cycle.
Click HERE to review Dr. Hawkins' 20 Major Levels Map of Consciousness chart
The "octaves of consciousness" levels and key words correspond to the musical scale octave and correspond to the 13 mayan days, months and 13-year cycles and any 13 units of Time as follows:
Awareness 1-13 Levels TONE key words
1 being Alive Ab existence, primal, ego, instincts Lowest potential consciousness levels 1 > 76 on days-rows-years numbered 1
2 being Clever A animal, drives, forces Very Low potential consciousness levels 76 > 153 on days-rows-years numbered 2
3 being Pride-Positive+ A# moral, integrity, warm, kind Negative-Neutral+Positive potential consciousness levels 153 > 230 on days-rows-years numbered 3 Note: The first 3/5 of this range is below level 200, with Pride- at level 175
before the spiritually Positive+ levels of 200 and above. 4 being Family B respectful, fair, balanced, considerate, stable, trust Medium low potential consciousness levels 230 > 307 on days-rows-years numbered 4
5 being Harmony C inspire, willingness, acceptance, forgiveness, humor Medium potential consciousness levels 307 > 384 on days-rows-years numbered 5
6 being Wise C# meaningful, understanding, reason, happiness Medium High potential consciousness levels 384 > 461 on days-rows-years numbered 6
7 being Love D loving, reverence, revelation, benign High potential consciousness levels 461 > 538 on days-rows-years numbered 7
8 being Bliss D# joy, miracles, unconditional love, healing...halo Very High potential consciousness levels 538 > 615 on days-rows-years numbered 8
9 being Peace E enlightened, Self, I Am, no mind/no ego Very High potential consciousness levels 615 > 692 on days-rows-years numbered 9
10 being Pure F Pure Consciousness, Sage, Is, I Very High potential consciousness levels 692 > 769 on days-rows-years numbered 10
11 being Clear F# Teacher of Enlightenment, chakra clearing Very High potential consciousness levels 769 > 846 on days-rows-years numbered 11
12 being Realized G Full Realization of Divinity, God as Logos Very High potential consciousness levels 846 > 923 on days-rows-years numbered 12
13 being Divine G# Divine Radiance, avatar, final surrender Highest potential consciousness levels 923 > 1000 on days-rows-years numbered 13
Because our space/time continuum is a 20/13 fractal set, the 1,000 levels are cycling through each 13-day week.
Every 13-days the energy "potential" cycles through the same pattern as through the 260 days... only here increasing in POWER potentials by about 76 levels of consciousness each day.
Our Hero Journey takes us through a dimensional full creation cycle every 13-days, re-setting on days 1 and 2 which flow through the primitive creations of The Wilderness,
through the classic "darkside," the Underworld of Desires, but only for 2 and a half days,
transending all low energy "negative" force fields that calibrate below level 200. Then, halfway through day 3 which overcomes Pride time shifts in tendencies to Positive beneficial levels ABOVE 200,
the Second "Inner Astral" Heavenly Realms of Good Works where the positive POWER emotional influences of levels 200-399 build up in spiritual magnitude.
Then on creation day 6 the Third "Higher Heaven" Realms of Reasoning and Knowing evolve into day 7, which is mid-way and opens the Heart, the Celestial Heavenly Realms of Love with energies at or above level 500 of LOVE manifesting from the Spiritual emanations of Our One Divine Hearts' intention and on day 8 all creation is seen as One, the Fourth "Enlightened" Heavenly Realms Being Bliss and Peace...halo signified by a radiant nimbus halo emanating from ones' crown chakra
and day 11 unfolds the Fifth "Divine" Heavenly Realms of Clear Divine Radiance All Be One Awareness
unto day 13 and the Final Doorway, up The Stairs with Divine Radiant Grace.
"The calendar is understood to be the Circle of Life, and so We Be All On A Sacred Journey, meandering thru both Wilderness and Heavens, Desires, Good Works, Knowing, Being, Divine on The Path of Perfect Love and Peace on Earth."
The FOUR 65-Day Seasons and Season Exchange Days
The Four 65-Day Seasons and Season Exchange Days
Click HERE to view the Four 65-day Seasons chart highlighted on the 260-Day Map
The Four Seasons and Market Days
The usual ‘Market Day’ is set up and attended every fifth day, and is also an exchange or trading day, although not as elaborately ceremonial a community day as the ‘season day’ markets are.
Market days appear on the calendar every FIVE days:
m = market day The 260-day Maya calendar also calculates and tracks FOUR (4) 65-day ‘seasons.’
The 260 days are re-calculated into four 65-day units of time.
4 x 65 days = 260 days
The four Seasons, in order, are:
The Yellow SERPENT Season
The Red DOG Season
The White EAGLE Season The Blue LORD SUN Season
These four 65-day Seasons BEGIN on the following Maya calendar days:
Yellow SERPENT chikchan Season: 3 SERPENT chikchan - day #185 of the 260
Red DOG ok Season: 3 DOG ok - day #250
White EAGLE men Season: 3 EAGLE men - day #55 Blue LORD ajaw Season: 3 LORD ajaw - day #120
Looking at these 260-day charts, notice the beginning day of each of the 65-day Seasons, and the ‘season exchange’ days every 20 days, signified on the calendar by the small red letter “s.”
The first 65-day season, the ‘Yellow SERPENT Season,’ begins on Mayan day ‘3 SERPENT chikchan’ and day #185 of the 260…and 185 days into each 260-day cycle in the ‘White NIGHT Week!’
So the four 65-day Seasons “overlap” consecutive 260-day cycles.
Events that happen during the days leading up to the beginning of ‘White NIGHT Week,’ and then especially around day #185, 3 SERPENT chikchan, will always reveal a ‘sneak preview’ to what the next 260-day cycle is bringing!
Also, notice how every 260-day Mayan calendar cycle completes in the ‘Red DOG Season of Love’ and then a new 260-day cycle begins there, too.
‘The White DOG Season of Love’ always overlaps the end and the beginning (birthing) of every 260-days, every nine months.
Each 65-day ‘season’ begins on the third day of a Mayan 13-day week. . . on days: 3 SERPENT 3 DOG 3 EAGLE 3 LORD
Each of the four 65-day seasons has within them four major ‘season exchange days’ that is also a ‘ceremonial’ community market day. Maya symbolic drawings of these ‘exchange’ days show two runners passing a torch between themselves, just like in a relay running race.
The Season Exchange Days are days to ‘exchange or trade with others’ whatever the seasonal energy represents, as explained by the key words of that particular season day.
The 65-day yellow SERPENT chikchan Season
The “exchanges” signified for season exchange days in the 65-day ‘Red Serpent Season’ can be explained by exploring the key words for the SERPENT day symbol: sprout, roots, instinct. The season exchange days (s) within the 65-day ‘Yellow SERPENT Season’ are these four days associated with the SERPENT day symbol:
3 SERPENT (day #185) The first day of the ‘Yellow SERPENT Season.’ Season one of the four seasons. 10 SERPENT (day #205) 4 SERPENT (day #225) 11 SERPENT (day #245)
All yellow color days and weeks within the Yellow Serpent Season are more strongly focused on because of the YELLOW ‘time wave’ harmonic ‘tendencies’ at that time.
The 65-day red DOG ok Season
The exchanges signified for season exchange days in the 65-day ‘Red DOG Season’ can be explained by exploring the key words for the DOG symbol: nourish, compassion, love. The season exchange days (s) within the 65-day ‘Red DOG Season’ are these four days associated with the DOG day symbol:
3 DOG (day #250 of 260) The first day of ‘Red DOG Season.’ Season two of the four seasons. 10 DOG (day#10) 4 DOG (day #30) 11 DOG (day #50)
All RED color days within the Red DOG Season are strongly associated with ‘shape – love’ (keywords) because of the Red Dog connection and group RED ‘time wave’ harmonic ‘tendencies’ at that time.
The spirit enters the womb at around 90 days and day 90 on the Mayan calendar is in white NATURE kawak Week 7 in the white EAGLE Season. That's the vertical right row of dots going straight up the right side. The drawing shows the spirit "piercing" the womb. If one is conceived from around the beginning of the DOG Season day #250 and the last day #260, that NATURE week 7 is when the spirit enters the womb.
The 65-day white EAGLE men Season
The exchanges signified for season exchange days in the 65-day ‘White EAGLE Season’ can be explained by exploring the key words for the EAGLE symbol: pray, envision. project The season exchange days (s) within the 65-day White EAGLE Season are these four days associated with the EAGLE day symbol:
3 EAGLE (day #55 of 260) The first day of ‘White Eagle Season.’ Season three of the four seasons 10 EAGLE (day #75) 4 EAGLE (day #95) 11 EAGLE (day #115)
All white color days within the 65-day White EAGLE season are strongly associated with “multiply - prayer” (keywords) because of the White Eagle connection and group WHITE ‘time wave’ harmonic ‘tendencies’ at that time. The spirit enters the womb at around 90 days and day 90 on the Mayan calendar is in the NATURE kawak Week 7. That's the vertical right row of dots going straight up the right side. The drawing shows the spirit "piercing" the womb. If one is conceived from around the beginning of the DOG Season day #250 and the last day #260, then white NATURE week 7 is when the spirit enters the womb.
The 65-day blue LORD ajaw Season
The exchanges signified for season exchange days in the 65-day ‘Blue LORD Season’ can be explained by exploring the keywords for the LORD symbol: sun, ruler, ascension. The season exchange days (s) within the 65-day ‘Blue LORD Season’ are these four days associated with the (SUN) LORD day symbol:
3 LORD (day #120 of 260) The first day of ‘Blue LORD Season.’ Season four of the four seasons. 10 LORD (day #140) 4 LORD (day #160) 11 LORD (day #180)
All BLUE color days within the 65-day Blue LORD Season are more strongly associated with “ripen - clarity” (keywords) because of the Blue LORD connection and group BLUE ‘time wave’ harmonic ‘tendencies’ at that time.
Note: Blue LORD Season exchange day ‘4 LORD ajaw’ (day #160 of the 260) is a very important Maya Calendar day because it is THE day on which Dec. 21, 2012 occurs.

Every 13 years there is a big mass conciousness "charge-up" that happens...that builds up into that final 13th year, like what happened in 1999 and now occurring again, just before "2000 and 12."
2012...will be the completion of exactly TWO 13-year cycles from 1987.
The Harmonic Convergence date of Aug.17, 1987 was set as to the "end of 9 hell cycles" each 52-years long, counted forward from the day Spanish explorer Cortez landed in the Mayan lands in 1519... on first day #1...in the first year of a 52-year cycle during year 1 REED ben.
The last year of the last "hell cycle" was 13 STAR lamat in 1986. The last 260-days began on Dec. 1, 1986 and ended 260 days later, on Aug. 17, 1987, in the year 1 REED ben.
The day after the Harmonic Convergence (Aug. 18, 1987) was the first day 1 imix in the first year 1 REED ben.
And calendar day #53 1 REED ben corresponds to the consciousness level 200.

The Mayan Long Count - Piktun
All cycles of 20, except "tun."
The Mayan Long Count is another word for the large Mayan "Piktun" Living River of Time cycle composed of 20 B'ak'tuns.
One B'ak'tun = 144, 000 days
We currently are at the end of the 13th B'ak'tun in a complete run of one full "Piktun" cycle compsed of 20 B'ak'tuns that began in the year 3114 BC during the life of Krishna and completes on October 12 in the year 4772 AD which is over 2,700 years from now, at which time we all here now will be ancient history.
2012 is significant in two ways as the completion of 13 B'ak'tuns and for marking the completion of one-fifth of one 25, 725-year cycle, the length of time it takes for the Equinoxes to travel 360-degrees backwards one full circle through the entire constellation band in the sky.
13 B'ak'tuns = 5,125 years = 1/5 of ONE 25,725-year constellation circle

We use the Guatemala Highland Maya "Day Count"
Guatemala Highland Maya Count of Days
In 1995 Rich realized after reading Dennis Tedlock's book The Popul Vuh that the day count Dr. José Argüelles, and most people, were using, the "lowland Yucatan count," was miscalculated by some 55 days. Tedlock found that the Guatemala highland Maya, the oldest known Mayan villages, kept a count of days based exactly on the transits and cycles of planet Venus known as the "Guatemala highland count." The Mayan calendar needs to be adjusted to keep aligned with the rising and setting of Venus every 8 years. This is why with the Guatemala highland count the Mayan "New Year" arrives earlier every year. The actual 260-day cycle is actually a bit less than a full 260 days...really more like 259.8 days.
Rich began using the Guatemala highland count of days in 1995.
"Now we can lock into the exact clockwork timing of planetary motion within our solar system."
The Roman and American Calendars
Introduction to the Roman and American Calendars
Keys to the Roman 12-month ‘Gregorian’ calendar (Jan.-Dec.)
For thousands of years people have been using a Roman calendar with the 12 named months of January through December. The 12-month calendar system was originally developed by a Greek man for the Roman Empire, and then it later became the official calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. The 12-month Roman calendar is a seasonal Sun calendar. It was, and still is, used to track the 365 and ¼ -days it takes our Earth to orbit once around our Sun. The rising and setting of the Sun on the horizon, especially if sighted correctly with stone markers, can identify the exact day of spring equinox and with it the return of the growing seasons, which is important to know especially when one is farming. The most recent version of the 12-month calendar, the 400+ years old Roman Catholic ‘Gregorian’ calendar, is actually just a slightly modified revision of the ‘Julian’ calendar, the second Roman Empire calendar system created in 46 BC. The Julian calendar was ordered into use by decree of Emperor Julius Caesar, in the year 709 of Rome (46 BC), as the official business and court calendar for his colossal Roman Empire. This new 12-month calendar system (with an extra day added in every four years) was brought to the attention of the Romans by a Greek man named “Sosigenes” Sosigenes had observed that every fourth year the rising and setting of the Sun at the winter solstice would arrive a day earlier than expected, as seen and marked on the horizon from previous winter solstices. He realized that the calculated length of each Earth ‘year’ was 365 days but was actually, in reality, about a quarter day, or 8 hours, longer. 365-days plus a quarter turn. So he developed a leap-year calendar that took into account that ‘extra day’ that needs to be added every four years, divided the year into 12 months, and accounted for the shorter winter season and the longer summer months by assigning 2 less days for February and 1 more for August. The Emperor Julius Caesar had known that the current Roman calendar system was not very accurate. The Roman calendar in use then, before 46 BC, did not even track the entire winter months! The Greek calendar maker did present his theory to the Roman courts. He discussed his new calendar, a 12-month calendar with the number of days in each month alternating and adjusting, along with his facts about that the Earths’ yearly 365-day cycle needing to be adjusted extra one day every four years. With this new calendar system it would allow the Romans to forecast, accurately predict and ‘control’ time. Special days could be planned and designated months in advance with exact accuracy. Julius Caesar issued the decree to implement the 12-month leap-year calendar system and he also named the calendar after himself. This new ‘Julian’ calendar reformatted the day-to-day life of everyday people within the Roman Empire. It re-set the marketplace days and the official court days, and the ‘holidays’ (or holy days). It created the idea of the 7-day week and ‘holy day’ each week on ‘Sunday.’ Caesar gave names to the days of the week and the 12 months of his new calendar after various Roman gods, goddesses, planets, numbers, a relative (and former Caesar), and an important Roman family clan. Here they are…
NAMES OF THE 7 Days: tHE gREGORIAN & jULIAN CALENDARS
(Latin planet = Old English = English) Dies Solis sun = Sun’s Day which became Sunday Dies Lunae moon = Moon’s Day which became Monday Dies Martis mars = Tiw’s Day which became Tuesday Dies Mercurii mercury = Woden’s Day which became Wednesday Dies Jovis jupiter = Thor’s Day which became Thursday Dies Veneris venus = Frigg’s Day which became Friday Dies Saturni saturn = Seterne’s Day which became Saturday
NAMES OF THE MONTH: tHE gREGORIAN & jULIAN CALENDARS Januarius. Janus - the two-faced god of doorways, beginnings, and endings. January Februarius. Februa - festival of purification. February Martius. Mars - planet and god. March Aprilis. Aphrodite - the goddess of planet Venus. April Maius. Maia - one of the seven Pleiadian sister goddesses. May Junius. Juno - the god of Jupiter, and the name of a Roman clan. June Julius. Julius Caesar - the Roman general and statesman. July Augustus. Caesar Augustus - first Roman emperor, and nephew of Julius. August September. Septem (seven in Latin) - seventh Roman month. September October. Octo (‘eight’ in Latin) - eighth Roman month. October November. Nove (‘nine’ in Latin) - ninth Roman month. November December. Decem (‘ten’ in Latin) - tenth Roman month. December
But the Greek inspired Roman ‘Julian’ calendar system was still not quite exactly accurate.
One Earth Year = 365-days, 8-hours, 11-minutes and 14-seconds
In the next century, in the year 730 the Anglo-Saxon monk St. Bede the Venerable told the Church of his discovery that the Earth year is actually 11-minutes and 14-seconds longer than the previously thought 365 and one-quarter days, and that the Julian calendar was now many days off, or days behind. But no one in the Church acted on his information then. The ‘extra’ 11-minutes and 14-seconds each year continued to accumulate so that after another 800 years, by the mid-1500’s, the Julian calendar date count was 10 days off, in relation to marking the observable annual movements of the Sun. It would be like a date being written as March 11 when it was really March 21st. The Julian calendar was running 10 days behind its own conceived schedule.
The adjusted Calendar of Pope Gregory the 13th
Beginning in the mid-1520’s the European Spaniards, whose king of Spain had been sponsoring his armies of European men to “explore” and subjugate the newly ‘discovered’ American continent, began returning with looted ‘artifacts’ from the Aztec and Mayan cities and some were taken to Rome, usually by way of Jesuit missionary journeys. Sometime before the year 1572 a Jesuit astronomer by the name of “Clavius” took on the time problem that the Julian calendar was experiencing. Clavius attended the Roman Catholic Church courts of Pope Gregory the 13th in 1572 where he proposed that the Pope adjust and correct the Church calendar. Clavius must have described how that the 365+one-quarter day Julian leap-year calendar system had a very small problem: That each Earth year is actually 11 minutes and 14 seconds longer than 365.25 days; and that those yearly extra 11-minutes and 14-seconds keep adding up, so that after 128 years it totals up to one full day; and, so that is why the calendar was off then by 10 days. Clavius then explained his simple 3-part solution. (1) If the leap-year is omitted at the end of every 100 years, and (2) if every 400 years the leap-year day is left in, then the Church calendar could keep an accurate count over the next 20,000 years! And, (3) the calendar must be adjusted ten days forward. “In the year of Our Lord 1582,” ten years later, Pope Gregory the 13th issued a decree officially resetting the Roman Catholic Church calendar forward by ten days, so that after October 4 came October 15. Those two days would have been interesting to experience! This realigned the Church calendar so that the spring and autumn equinox and the summer and winter solstice points would appear again on the appropriate calendar days. This 10-day adjustment was very important to the Church for the setting of certain religious ceremonial dates, notably Easter which depends upon the calculation of the first full moon after the spring equinox. And so began the ‘new’ Gregorian calendar count of the days… the calendar of Pope Gregory. Various countries around the world began using the new readjusted Church calendar count over the next 100 years. There was probably some resistance to the changing of the dates by those using the old Julian calendar count, for all different types of personal and legal reasons. 230 years later, the growing English colonies in America ‘officially’ changed over to the new Gregorian calendar count in September 1752. The calendar by then had to be adjusted forward by 11 days. Wednesday, September 2 was followed by Thursday, September 14.
The Ancient 260-day Calendar of the Americas
By the time of the new ‘Gregorian’ calendar in the year 1582 the 260-day calendar (the “Tzolkin” in Maya language--pronounced ZOL-kin), had already been in use for thousands of years throughout the Guatemala highlands and Mexican Yucatan lowlands. Before even the establishment of Rome as a town, and two-thousand years before the arrival of the Europeans, the 260-day calendar had been invented and in use. The Aztec and Hopi version of it was used throughout Mexico and the southwestern United States by the 1200’s. There is also reported evidence showing that the Indonesian island people of Bali share similar customs of the Maya-Aztec peoples.
The Mayan 260-day calendar pre-dates the Aztec 260-day calendar by thousands of years. The Mayan (and Aztec) calendar is a 260-day calendar that weaves together two basic time cycles.
One of the two time cycles is the Mayan ‘month,’ 20 days long with 20 unique SYMBOLS assigned to each of the 20 days of the Mayan month. The other smaller time cycle is the Mayan ‘week,’ 13 days long and associated with the NUMBERS 1 through 13, drawn using dot and bar notations. One dot equal 1, one bar equals 5, and one shell equals 20. Within each 260-day calendar cycle are 20 weeks. (20 x 13 = 260) Each of the 20 Mayan 13-day weeks signifies a unique spiritual journey of 13 days.
These two cycles, in combination, create the 260-day sacred Mayan calendar and its storytelling.
260-Day Time Tracking with Venus – The ‘Twin Star’
Many cultures around the world noticed the rising and setting patterns of Venus, but the Olmec and Maya cultures of Mexico and the Guatemala Highlands in Central America were the first to create a 260-day Venus calendar, regarded now as the most accurate in the world.
When the planet Venus rises in the East, in the pre-dawn skies as the “Morning Star,” it is the 3rd brightest light in the sky after the Sun and the Moon. Venus rides bright in the early morning pre-dawn eastern skies for 236 days or approximately 8 months.
Then Venus disappears behind the Sun for 90 days, slowly spinning away, farther and farther from Earth, hidden away from view behind the other side of the Sun.
After those 90-days circling unseen around the backside of the Sun, Venus can be seen rising again just after sunset in the West twilight skies. It is there, in the early evening western night skies that Venus will shine for 250 days as the “Evening Star.” Then every night just after sunset in the western skies, we see Venus getting brighter and brighter as it moves towards Earth, closer and closer on its approach towards us.
Then, just as it gets really bright, Venus disappears for 8 days. For those 8 days Venus moves hidden across the front face of the Sun, between the Sun and the Earth. It’s at these moments, every 19 months, when our nearest neighborly planet Venus passes in close by Earth.
After 8 days transiting in front of the Sun, unseen by the strong daylight glare, Venus reappears, at dawn, near the edge of the Sun, at sunrise in the East, and again as the Morning Star, and swiftly soon the brightest light before dawn.
These rising and setting patterns of the planet Venus are repeated on average about every 584.92 days, or every 19 months. These Venus fly-by patterns repeat exactly five times every 8 years, during five different months of the year. Let’s examine the 8-year pulse, the 8-year rhythm, of Venus. It is a VERY important rhythm. Indeed, it is a rhythm that we can connect to the musical scale, a truly sacred rhythm that holds the key to understanding the musical encoding of time in our solar system.
If we could super-speedup time and watch the orbits of the planets around the Sun from high above our solar system, we would see that over every 8-year period of time Venus exactly aligns between the Sun and the Earth 5 times, creating a spiraling 5-pointed star pattern around the Sun.
A five-pointed star pattern is exactly the same kind of pattern designs detected within the double-helix spiral blueprints of genetic DNA, in the cells of all living creatures on Earth. The key to the accuracy of the Maya calendar is that it is based upon the exact rising and setting dates of the planet Venus, as was recorded within the ancient Maya painted paper sacred texts. Maya astronomers recorded the exact Mayan dates that Venus would appear and disappear in the sky over 8-year cycles of time. Whole tables of calculations concerning Venus and the Mayan symbol for ‘Ahau’ (LORD) are documented in the Mayan papers. Mayan symbols representing the planet Venus are drawn placed next to the Mayan calendar day of Ahau.
So, Mayan calendar accuracy Rule #1 was: Every 8 years the first sighting of Venus rising in the eastern dawn sky should occur on the Mayan day Ahau (LORD).
The first sight of rising of Venus on the specific Mayan calendar day of Ahau every eight years determines the correct Maya calendar day for accuracy.
Like the Gregorian and Julian calendars the Mayan calendar must be also be adjusted, except that one day must be subtracted every ten years. Because of the length of the Venus year, 225 days (actually 224.7 days), those partial missing days of the Venus year every year (.3) begin to add up so that the Venus-Sun alignments occur 3 days earlier every 10 years. So even with the 2 extra leap-year days added in every 8 years an additional day must be subtracted to the keep the Mayan calendar aligned to the rising of Venus on Ahau (LORD) days.
Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Venus Days .3 .6 .9 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.1 2.4 2.7 3.0 This then raises challenging questions, such as: How can one subtract one day? Where does that Mayan day go? And just WHEN does the adjustment take place if needed? We must realize that the 260-day calendar is really tracking an invisible ‘vibrating energy field’ that the planets are always moving through and since the planets do not have exact circular orbital patterns, the orbital revolutions we observe mathematically have variations that do not overtly appear at first as simple Earth time calculation formulas and so we have to adjust the calendars to compensate. It is an energy field that is being tracked and it is actually a little less than 260 days in duration. So little by little every day, every month and every year the Mayan calendar slowly slips backward so that for instance the Mayan New Year appears now in mid-January rather than in March as it did in the 1500’s.
Here then is the ideal 8-Year pattern as recorded in the Mayan "Madrid" Codex:

The Hopi "Blue Star" stories may perhaps be related to the 8th Mayan day sign symbol blue STAR "lamat"?
The very last of the 13-day weeks on the Mayan calendar is blue STAR lamat week.
And this most spiritually powerful 13-day week leads up every 260 days to the "last day" of the calendar,
situated on the end & beginning ~ omega & alpha~ of the 260-day wavelength,
at the junction of the most powerful time warp energy field.
If day #260, blue 13 LORD ajaw, calibrates on up to level 1,000, which is divinity, then the arrival of blue STAR lamat Week signals the coming of both the end and the beginning...
