Understanding the Mayan Cycles of Energy
The TZOLK'IN Cycle for Spiritual Energies
20 cycles of 13 days each equals 260 Days of theTzolk'in Round that repeats through eternity.
Each year on July 11- a new - Year Count, is started. This matches the information in the Chalam Balam Creation story of how the Glyph cycle for this present 5200 year long count started on Aug. 13, 3114 BC. If you count backwards as directed by the Chalam Balam to 14 Pax on the HAAB CYCLE ( which is a fixed date cycle matching the solar year) the start date of the Tzolkin will be on July 11, 3114 BC. This date designates the YEARBEARER GLYPH and sets the energy of the year for your spiritual growth and progress. The July 11, 2007 Tzol'kin glyph is 11 CIMI, 12 PAX on the HAAB. These dates are based on the Chalam Balam and the records carved in the stones of the temples and pottery by the ancient Maya.
The Ancient Wisdomkeepers working in the portals of the temples shared their method of counting and advised on these dates for 7 years. I honor them and keep their count regardless of the many computer generated Julian and Gregorian counts now in use. You may use your own judgement on which count you prefer to follow for your soul growth. This one was gifted for all by the Ancient Wisdomkeepers who show themselves as holographic human forms in the sacred portals of the Maya lands.
Energy Cycles of the Maya
Each day the number and the glyph changes to bring you new energies that combine with the yearbearer energies. Sacred time is Mayan time. Understanding of these spiritual energies for your daily experience will help your soul growth journey in this lifetime.
A day in Mayan is called a K'in (for the Sun) Since the Solar Year (365 k'in) is longer than a Tzolk'in round (260 k'in) your birth glyph will not appear on the same date of these intermeshing cycles for 52 years. This is when you become an elder in the Mayan cycles of time. This elder cycle is called :
Tunben K'ak = 18,980 K'in (days)
A year in Mayan is called a Tun.
The Tzolk'in is an eternally repeating cycle of spiritual energies and the base for larger and larger cycles all intermeshing with the HAAB or 365 day SOLAR CYCLE, which is the only fixed Calendar cycle starting on August 31 of each Solar Year.
Cherokee and Mayan Ancestors
The Cherokee also have a 13-day cycle matching the Tzolk'in rounds. I have included their glyph descriptions of energy and totems on my current Mayan Calendar. You will notice the glyphs have the same energies as the Mayan glyphs indicating communication between both cultures from the earliest times on the planet.

THE HAAB Cycle for Physical Energies
18 cycles (months) of 20 days ( similiar to our months) equals 360 days. The 19th glyph is called a Vayeb. It represents "time out of time" for adjusting to the 5 extra days in our solar year and leap year days. Leap year is not recognized in any of the Mayan cycles as this was created in our present Gregorian counting system and is easily accounted for as a Vayeb.
There are 18 Glyphs for the Haab cycle, plus the 5 days of Vayeb (only used at the end of the year) which mesh with the numbers 0-19. Zero in Mayan is Source, Hunab Ku (God) provider of Measure and Movement, therefore by starting each month on Zero, it sets the energy from Source for the entire 20 day cycle.
Since the HAAB is a Solar cycle, it is directly tied to the energy of the Sun (K'in) also meaning day. This cycle energizes all physical forms in matter and the intellect, according to Mayan thought. Sunrises and Sunsets are very important times in the Mayan Worldview, with the belief that we receive energy for our physical bodies, along with information and spiritual direction each day with a morning sunrise from Source/Hunab Ku.
Their Initiations for Sunrise/Sunset meditations can energize your entire being leading you to the state of becoming a 'breatharian' in the future, only requiring liquids as you progress in this growth pattern. All the nutrients necessary for your physical body can be absorbed at Sunrise and Sunset as your frequencies raise and change your vibrations. It may take years of this practice for you to vibrate at these levels as the growth is gradual.
The HAAB energy cycle also denoted the seasons of growing crops, harvesting, solstice and equinox celebrations and the time of offerings and expression of gratitude.
Modern-day scientists are just learning about the energies of the Sun. Ancient knowledge of the Mayan Wisdomkeepers denote a 23-year cycle of the Sun. Eleven years inbreath (solar maximum), 6 months moment between the breath and eleven years outbreath ( solar minimum) repeating of 6 months between the next phase. The Male energies are in sync with this Sun cycle, expressing as 23 days (micro) and 23 year (macro) cycles that regulate hormone functions in the physical body.
So each date that is written must have both cycles to be accurate.
Example:
January 1, 2007 translates as:
2 MEN 3 YAXK'IN
Inscriptions on all the temples always include both cycles.
The Current Calendar will show the energies of the Tzolkin Round every 20 days for your convenience.
The Glyph that starts each 13 day round will be indicated on the count and always starts with 1. This energy will be felt throughout the entire 13 days in combination with the day glyph and the number energies.

The Numbers as Energy
Brief explanation of the energies of the Numbers which are always indicated by the Bar=5 and the Dot=1
1 Source Energy for all Creation
2 Balance of the polarities
3 Connection through the Breathe of Spirit and the wind energy.
4 Measure and Movement of energy into Physicality and Matter.
5 Centering your energy.
6 Going Within for your guidance.
7 Opening your mystic channel from crown to root to receive spirit guidance.
8 Harmonic Resonance in every endeavor and relationship, number of infinity.
9 Completion of cycles to go on to grander cycles. Complete projects, resolve issues
10 Manifestation of all your clear intents into a form of matter.
11 Dissonance. Energy sent to resolve Duality and dissonance in your experience. Understand the Illusion. "As above, so below"
12 Dynamic Stasis. Energy to move from stagnation to stability. Create stability in your earth walk. Learn to "walk your talk."
13 Universal Movement. Most dynamic energy of the Universe, opens perception to understand the universal wisdom and concepts for growth and transformation.
As these numbers travel around the glyphs for the 260 day Tzolk'in Round they form a beautiful pattern of life that looks like the petals of a flower. This is the Spiritual Pattern of Life, while the Mandala of India with the circles that form the Flower of Life pattern portrays the cell growth pattern in your physical body. Both multiply as fractals through infinity.

Mayan Flower of Life Pattern of the TZOLK'IN Cycle
The mandala shown on the left was created by the unique movement of each glyph as it travels in a sequence of measure throughout eternity. Hunab Ku, giver of measure and movement designed this pattern of 20 glyphs moving through 13 cycles following a designated number sequence thoughout eternity.
This deeper meaning to life that comes from SOURCE, HUNAB KU, GOD is part of the mystery of the Maya. As the HOPI also say, "Always look deeper in the cycles, layer upon layer, to find more answers."
This particular pattern of movement was one of the most AWESOME discoveries I have encountered in my years of research.
The first time it appeared as an important layer of the cycles was in 1993 as my daughter-in-law Debra Gross, who is an accountant and great with numbers, was drawn to look at the scrolls of information that were rolled out over her living room floor as I pondered the many aspects of energy movement. As we played with the Tzolk'in cycle and looked for new ways to understand the deeper aspects of the information the same sequence kept emerging.
We then noticed the same pattern appeared in the Houses on an Astrology wheel when you have your Natal Chart read. By understanding this deeper pattern, an astrologer could help you with your soul growth. I hope you enjoy it!
A glyph that is on number 1 in the first 13 day cycle, will be on number 8 in the second 13 day cycle.
.
That glyph will not appear at all in the third 13 day cycle as it goes back to Source (0) for renewed energy.
It then will appear on 2, then 9, then back to source, then 3,and 10 and back to source, then 4 and 11, then back to source, all the way through the 20 sets of 13.
This pattern repeats throughout eternity no matter which day the glyph starts on, it will follow the same pattern in each set of 13 days. This pattern is the energy that is sent to you for your higher aspects of spiritual growth. Look at the following chart, to see the pattern of how you are being activated throughout eternity, in each set of 13 days, by all 20 energy glyphs simultaneously.

Mayan Cosmology Sky Map
 Many years later, taking this information to the next level of Cosmology, I was able to match them in the sky showing how the energies come from the Constellations to the Planet, on to the Pleiades and the Great Central Sun where the Mayans originated, and then to our Sun to be energized on the Earth.
Follow the pattern by the numbers and they match the same order in the sky as in the Tzolk'in pattern explained above. This will give you an idea why the Mayans were also the Solar and Galactic Knowledge Keepers of the Universe.

Mayan 13 Constellations
The patterns and relationships continued to unfold as my visits to the sacred sites in the Maya lands increased.
In the Paris codex (graphic below) the pages illustrated the 13 Constellations that were used by the Maya with the dates changing every28 days, rather than the 30 days for current astrological charts. The count starts with the last day of Aries on April 16, 755 A.D (right side of graphic) and moves from right to left, ending with March 19, 756 A.D., which would start the count over again as the first day of Aries a year later.

Mayan Natal Chart Diagram
This changed the dates enough to understand that the 13th Constellation was in the Center of Maya Astrology noted as SERPENS/DRACO carrying the energy of Source/Creation from the center of the skywheel. This puts it in the center of an Astrology Chart and it does not disrupt the order of the 12 houses. If astrologers used this chart from the Ancient Maya, they would gain a perspective of the spiritual growth intended by the soul at the time of birth.
If you look closely the Tzolk'in pattern of movement explained previously that shows the sequence of numbers. appears on the chart in each house moving clockwise from Cancer in the 4th house. Number 7 is in the Center which becomes House 13 for Transcending into the material realm and back to the spirit realm.
