Lying low
So much can be said about and so much activity is being born from the passing of the zuvuya. To many it is the start of new projects. Great structures where built or removed for this to be done, in the last days. Yesterday we avoided an accident, after the most humbling wisdom had came. A great return to activity can be forecasted for today, an intense action, but instead I am having a hard time staying awake. I feel like lying low, doing nothing, being that there is so much to do.
Those are the key words for today, applied to many instances that can be very different. After we are trapped by life and provided for, our own will power is born to go out and hunt. We want love and we demand it, we seek out for things in a very direct way, unprocessed, unfiltered, raw and non-sophisticated. Today represents that nature in us that has not gone yet through a maturing. It can show like a very unpredicted, unsolicited proposal or desire, which we are, if we follow today's wisdom, to simply let be. We will see it from the eyes of another more elaborate sign later on with disdain, but what the hell, we need to give this dimension a try. Today's dimension, which can show whenever the combination is summoned, is a must go-through process in the growth and development of something big and complete. If it's fun, you must do it, no matter how low it may seem and what consequences it will bring. Problems actually come when we deny this part in us, it's a balance. Abstinence is as unbalanced as excess. Let your low-lying nature guide you in life too.

Citando a Julian Katari del 27/01/2026, 3:28 pmDesire.
We are in the primordial snake, the first sequence that unfolds what is truly inside. It is the time to recognize the primordial, what's essential, to reconnect with what is truly inside, our feelings, our body, and to not fall pray to external impositions. Aligned with the planetary scenario of this time of the year and age, today is the day we must recognize what we truly desire. This recognition comes not from thought, but from meditation. Meditation allows for the inner silence to emerge and allow us to feel and recognize what our body wants, what it desires, and yes, it involves pleasure.
Consumerist spirituality challenges not the status quo and rather reinforces it, taking our strength away by teaching us to put up with whatever unpleasurable and unjust situation is upon us. It draws an image of a beautiful balanced word filled with plastic joy, when in fact we are in the grinding core of a destruction machine, witnessing how this civilization crumbles and takes as much living with it as it can, creating as much toxicity, illness, noise and pollution as it can. We might have a fast connection and a good resolution screen, subscriptions and many channels to watch, but we lack connection, sexual pleasure, freedom, time and the pleasure of being in our space and freedom with nature and true wealth.
Today we must listen to our desire and it will show us what is missing, even if we do have a lot. Modernly taught spirituality teaches us that desire is negative, that pleasure is sin, that it creates the negative cycle of lack as the pleasures are not met. This is a callow teaching because it is true only within an urban slave-master context where pleasure can run unnaturally unchecked (for the master); but in our context as true spirituality seekers it's incomplete and ineffectual because we are living earth bound creatures with desires and meeting them is not sin and is not wrong. Not being able to meet them is the effect of a denaturalized society, it's a product of artificial design of oppression, not of the sacred or of nature.
Today's nawal teaches us that true spirituality must be birthed from our natural right to meet our desires, our bodily needs, and when these are met, then there is no room for vice and degeneration. If we follow this teaching forward we will be led in the path of the medicine of wisdom, that is why you are here.

Citando a Julian Katari del 14/10/2026, 2:49 pmEmbodiment.
Out of the sea of nothingness emerges a first, basic, and primordial intent—a first clear direction and desire of where we are going and what we want. This is a first spark of sunshine that breaks through the clouds, a natural pleasure that was previously absent. This nature is neither engineered nor requested; it arrives on its own accord as the raw urge to live, to fully embody this life.
Embodiment starts with the physical vessel: the foundational impulse to eat, rest, enjoy, have fun, and make love. That is the baseline. This is the primordial cosmic egg that will fuel every single one of your future ventures. No artificial web, no rigid blueprint, no moral judgment, and no human law can—or must ever—trap this instinctual being, this birthright of yours to pursue and taste pleasure. All your master plans, your creative projects, and your very personality must stem directly from this seed, which today sprouts under its own power. It is alive, and it is right here.
Regrettably, for many, this very body of vitality has been generationally hampered, shamed, and smashed. It is continuously poisoned by virtual, artificial pleasures that deaden the soul. Everything that kills true vitality manufactures a distorted pleasure of its own, and that is precisely where collective society drifts. The balance of purging the toxic, knowing how to consciously navigate necessary edges, and keeping our core being fiercely vital is the key that must be embodied today. We do not arrive at this state through intellectualized doctrine; we reach it by listening to our own vitality and guarding it as the ultimate treasure we are charged to protect.
The Serpent / Kundalini / Vital Energy / Sexual Fire (Kan) represents the primal life-force, the physical body, the coiled serpent of vital energy at the base of the spine, agility, passion, and the instinctual intelligence that drives all organic creation. It is the nawal of physical strength, raw sensuality, biological wisdom, and the sacred fire that animates matter. In its fifth position (Ho'), it brings the stabilizing center, the hand's five fingers, physical grounding, work, effort, and the manifestation of power through concrete form—anchoring abstract spirit into the felt reality of the flesh.
To embody Five K'an is to reclaim the authority of your instincts without apology. It demands that you honor the body as the ultimate altar of the trecena, refusing to let abstract ideologies or puritanical shame strangle your natural fire. At this fifth station of the wave, K'an takes the vision gestated in Imox, moved by Ik', tested in Ak'ab'al, and woven in K'at, and infuses it with pure biological power. It reminds us that no creation can endure if it starves the body that carries it; true wisdom lies in trusting the innate intelligence of your own vital energy to guide your steps and illuminate your path.

In the Codex Borgia (as well as related Borgia Group manuscripts like Codex Vaticanus B and Codex Cospi), the patron deity who governs the 5th day sign, Coatl (Serpent), is Chalchiuhtlicue ("She of the Jade Skirt"), the Aztec goddess of running waters, rivers, lakes, streams, baptisms, and biological fertility.
1. Visual Depiction in Codex Borgia (Plate 9)
In Plate 9 of Codex Borgia—which displays the grid of the 20 day signs alongside their respective patron deities—Chalchiuhtlicue is shown presiding directly over Coatl:
Appearance & Attributes: She is depicted seated, adorned with her characteristic blue/green jade-beaded headband and skirt (chalchiuh-cueitl), wearing gold ear-spools and a halved-shell ornament.
Association with Water: Streams of water fringed with precious stones and shells flow around or from her presence, emphasizing her domain over terrestrial water.
The Serpent Connection: Water in Mesoamerican iconography is fundamentally serpentine (atl/coatl). Rivers are envisioned as moving emerald serpents traversing the body of the earth.
2. Overview of Coatl and Chalchiuhtlicue
Coatl (The Serpent): The Sign Dynamics
Sign Number: 5th Day Sign of the 260-day Tonalpohualli (corresponding to K'an / Kan in the Maya calendar).
Symbolism: The serpent in Mesoamerican cosmology represents raw vital force, physical energy, flexibility, transformation (shedding of skin), earth-bound vitality, and the Kundalini-like fire that travels through physical matter.
Dual Nature: Coatl is grounded directly in the earth, yet fluid and liminal like water. It connects the subterranean underworld (Mictlan) with the terrestrial surface.
Chalchiuhtlicue (She of the Jade Skirt): The Governing Deity
While Tlaloc governs the rain clouds and heavenly storms in the sky, Chalchiuhtlicue rules the horizontal, physical waters of the Earth—springs, rivers, lakes, oceans, and birth waters:
The Water of Life and Purification: She is the patroness of childbirth and ritual cleansing. At birth, midwife-priests washed newborn infants in her honor to purify their tonalli (soul-energy) and welcome them into the physical realm.
Fluidity and Unstoppable Power: Water, like the serpent, adapts to any container, flows around obstacles, and shapes the landscape over time. Yet when unleashed, Chalchiuhtlicue possesses terrifying force (such as the flood that ended the 4th Sun/Cosmic Era, 4-Water / Nahui Atl).
Fertility and Physical Gestation: Just as water nourishes the soil so crops can sprout, Chalchiuhtlicue provides the fluid environment required for life to take root and bloom.
3. Theological & Esoteric Synthesis (Coatl + Chalchiuhtlicue)
When Coatl (the serpent of vital force and bodily instinct) is paired with Chalchiuhtlicue (the goddess of living waters and physical washing), a distinct spiritual frequency emerges within the Tonalpohualli:
The Flow of Primal Vitality: The combination signifies that physical life-force (coatl) must remain fluid and moving like living water (chalchiuhtlicue). Stagnant energy or rigid dogma dries up vitality; true strength lies in adaptation, emotional release, and energetic circulation.
Purification of the Physical Vessel: It represents the cleansing of the physical body so that raw vital energy can rise without obstruction or toxicity.
The Earthly Stream of Life: Together, they embody the instinctual drive to sustain life, protect physical health, and honor the sacredness of the flesh as a vessel nourished by the earth's waters.
