What is one of our greatest fears? It is said that two things certain in life: taxes and death. This transition comes to us usually once in a lifetime, but touches our circle sometimes in the least expected times. We cannot linger, our attention must go to productivity and expression.
Why does the Mayan Tzolkin calendar have the symbol of death taking up 13 precious spaces out of the 260 days in the calendar? Perhaps we have to look beyond the obvious, and delve into the intuitive meaning.
Today’s glyph and tone combination is 8 Cimi, Death. In the Tarot there is a death card, not necessarily signifying a physical death. The physical is only one of many “bodies” we possess. We have the mental, and the emotional. We also have what you might call the dream body, known as the astral body. Death is really just the sign of an ending or transition. Sometimes it can be the smallest of changes, and sometimes the change can be dramatic, with no way of turning back.
Two things are certain in life, they say: death and taxes. The taxes, well if we never let go then those things that no longer serve us could certainly become very taxing on our resources, attention, and energy. Cimi gives us a chance to recalibrate, clear away the chaff, and live again.
