Again though, this will not be a normal decline.

Where we are at currently in the LOV is bad decimation, that was that point in early October...which actually I had the 5th of October as the mean date. Its all about magnatude baby, its all about magnatude... .you gotta LOV it. You see, there is something that anchors around the Equinoxs, that is one of the things that "Seasons" were so important to Gann. There are actually a few people on this board who also are tracking along with the LOV, they know what I am referring to, they know WHY this decline is a nasty sucker, because it is repitition of the past. So not only do you know, ya its going down or up or whatever, you know the magnatude. Historically here, where we are at is a nasty move. BIG FOCKING DOWN MOVE for those that think I am trying to be evasive. With the LOV you know the animal, not just whether it is up or down or whatever. You KNOW what to expect. Historically this period produce BIG FOCKING DOWN MOVE so why would we not suspect a BIG FOCKING DOWN MOVE again? --- In wheelsinthesky@ yahoogroups. com, reikimstr@.. . wrote: > > > > > calling for a stock market decline in September should always be part of > your Bar Bet strategy! > > > How true Greg...how true...one of the oldest accurate statistics in the > market. > > Best Regards, > > Lorin >Hello all Some time ago I pointed out the important of the 420 degree cycle using mercury. If u look back from Aug 16 spike low of last year this cycle has produced some major lows consistently. It also seems the half point of the cycle produce some major turns but alternate between high and lows. Furthermore it also seems the last 45-90 degree of the cycle is particularily important in the direction of the trendIn these examples towards a major low. Aug 16 -2007 Merc long. 146 Nov 27 - 2007 Merc long 206 or 1 day out from low. March 15 -2008 Merc long 266 or 2 days out from low June 30 2008 Merc long 326..A low which was violated 10 days later. Oct 9 2008 Merc long 26 ..Final low Oct 8 ??

Next time this cycle is due is Jan 14-2009...another low ??? If we take a look at the half points we find them at: Oct 17-2007. .slightly lower top from all time high Oct 11.. Jan 24-2008.1 day from major low May 1-2008 1 day from first double top Aug 9-2008wk.end and 2 days from major top. Next half point at Merc 236 which is Nov 23. This is right into my forecasted low done a few weeks back.. hi My forecast was based on this : Lunar mean low at 290 degrees : Oct 7 May 2 top Venus at 19 degrees. Mercury transit this Oct 7 Mercury 420 cycle due Oct 9.... Hot date for me Oct 7th . We are well overdue .. Next point is a high which is a wk. end hit... meaning friday 10th or monday 13th. I have been leaning more on the 10th. I have another swing low again early next week at mean lunar 52 degrees.Late 16th. Next is lunar mean 130 degrees which is Oct 22 as high. Mundane : We are into a 3 wave drop into 2011 the way I see it. I agree with Lorin that the first leg down shud be completed in spring 2009. Mid 2010 up about 6 months with one sharp reaction. Spring 2011 last down leg. Im not surprised we are coming down as outlined in my mundane work posted here in Wits: Thing is that US has only reacted 40 pct. Conditions shud point to a lot more. ...and it will take many years to recover from it. Personal opinion : I see citizens of US leaving the country going back to their native origin. Will be interesting to see if people from Iceland are moving out too in the next few years. They are historically very much related to Norway. Best

Tzolk'in
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search Tzolk'in (in the revised Guatemala Mayan languages Academy orthography which is now preferred, formerly and commonly tzolkin) is the name bestowed by Mayanist scholars upon the version of the 260-day Mesoamerican calendar which was used by the Maya civilization of preColumbian Mesoamerica. The tzolk'in, the most fundamental and widely-attested of all the Maya calendars, was a preeminent component in the society and rituals of the ancient Maya. The Tzolk'in is still in use by several Maya communities in the Guatemalan highlands. Its use is marginal but spreading in this region, although opposition from Evangelical Christian converts has erased it from some communities. The word, meaning "count of days", was coined based on Yukatek Maya. The corresponding words in the K'iche' and Kaqchikel cultures of Guatemala, which have maintained an unbroken train of observance for over 500 years, are, respectively, Ajilabal qij and Cholq'ij. The actual names of this calendar as used by the pre-Columbian Maya are not known. The corresponding Postclassic Aztec calendar, probably based on extinct central Mexican observance, was called by them tonalpohualli, in the Nahuatl language. The Maya used several cycles of days, of which the two most important were the Tzolk'in, or Sacred Round of 260 days and the approximate solar year of 365 days or Haab. The Sacred Round combined the repeating cycle of numbers 1-13 with 20 day names ... so that any particular combination would recur in 13 x 20 or 260 days; the day name and the number changed together: 1 Imix, 2 Ik, 3 Akbal ... as we might say Monday 1, Tuesday 2, Wednesday 3, and so on

[edit] Tzolk'in table of named days

The tzolk'in calendar combines a cycle of twenty named days with another cycle of thirteen numbers (the trecena), to produce 260 unique days (i.e., 20 13 = 260). Each successive named

day was numbered from 1 up to 13 and then starting again at 1. There were 20 individual named days, as shown in the table below: Tzolk'in calendar: named days and associated glyphs (in sequence)[1] Inscription glyph example

NOTES: 1. the sequence number of the named day in the Tzolk'in calendar 2. Day name, in the standardised and revised orthography of the Guatemalan Academia de Lenguas Mayas 3. An example glyph (logogram) for the named day, typical of monumental inscriptions ("cartouche" version). Note that for most of these several alternate forms also exist. 4. Example glyph, Maya codex style. When drawn or painted, most often a more economical style was employed; the meaning is the same. Again, variations to codex-style glyphs also exist. 5. Day name, as recorded from 16th century Yucatec language accounts, according to Diego de Landa; this orthography has (until recently) been widely used 6. In most cases, the actual day name as spoken in the time of the Classic Period (c. 200-900) when most inscriptions were made is not known. The versions given here (in Classical Maya, the main language of the inscriptions) are reconstructed based on phonological comparisons; a '?' symbol indicates the reconstruction is tentative. 7. Each named day had a common association or identification with particular natural phenomena

The Tzolkin does not have a generally-recognized start and end. Some view it as completely circular with no start, while others suggest different days for the "start". Taking one such suggestion:

1 Imix is the first day of the Tzolkin. 2 Ik 3 Akbal 4 Kan 5 Chicchan 6 Cimi 7 Manik 8 Lamat 9 Muluc 10 Oc 11 Chuen 12 Eb 13 Ben is the 13th day of the Tzolkin 1 Ix is the 14th day of the Tzolkin 2 Men 3 Cib 4 Cabab 5 Eznab 6 Cauac 7 Ahau 8 Imix 9 Ik 10 Akbal 11 Kan

...

9 Cib 10 Cabab 11 Eznab

12 Cauac 13 Ahau is the 260th day of the Tzolkin.

It was used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events and for divination.

[edit] Meanings
Each of the twenty days is linked to a different god in Mayan mythology[2]

Imix : 'Crocodile' - the reptilian body of the planet earth, or world Ik : 'Wind' - breath, life. Also violence. Akbal : 'Night-house' - darkness, the underworld, realm of the nocturnal jaguar-sun. Also evil. Kan : 'Maize' - sign of the young maize lord who brings abundance, ripeness. Also lizard, net. Chicchan : 'Snake' - the celestial serpent Cimi : 'Death' Manik : 'Deer' - sign of the Lord of the Hunt Lamat : 'Rabbit' - sign of the planet Venus, sunset. Muluc : 'Water' - symbolised by jade, an aspect of the water deities, fish Oc : 'Dog' - who guides the night sun through the underworld. Chuen : 'Monkey' - the great craftsman, patron of arts and knowledge. Also thread. Eb : 'Grass' or 'Point' - associated with rain and storms. Ben : 'Reed' - who fosters the growth of corn, cane, and man. Ix : 'Jaguar' - the night sun. Also maize. Men : 'Eagle' - the wise one, bird, moon Cib : 'Owl/Vulture' - death-birds of night and day. Also wax, soul, insect. Caben : 'Earthquake' - formidable power. Also season, thought. Etz'nab : 'Knife' - the obsidian sacrificial blade. Cauac : 'Rain' or 'Storm' - the celestial dragon serpents and the chacs, gods of thunder and lightning. Ahau : 'Lord' - the radiant sun god

[edit] Uses
Please help improve this section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page or at requests for expansion. (June 2008) The Tzolk'in was extensively used in Mayan inscriptions and codices. Symbolism related to the Tzolk'in is also observed in the Popol Vuh (which, though written in the early post-conquest period, is probably based on older texts). For instance, when Ixbalanque has set an impossible task for Ixquic of collecting a netful of corn from one stalk and Ixquic successfully completes it, she leaves the imprint of her net in the ground, and the day "net" is the opening of the Venus cycle which follows "ahau" ("ajpu" in K'iche'), just as her child is the heir of Hun Hunajpu.[3] It is not known what other uses the ancient Maya had for it. However, among Mayan communities where its use has survived:

This 260 periods was, and is used for precise cycles in the Maize cultivation.(The zenith transit days may have been circumstantially significant for agriculture along the south coast

of Guatemala. The April 30 zenith transit occurs just before the beginning of the rainy season. Farmers in the region presently plant their corn at the end of April or early in May In August 13 zenith transit the Maya initiate its current era in this day', approximates the time of the harvest of the dried corn. In the modern Guatemalan highlands, several groups use this period in the training of the Aj k'ij, the keeper of the 260-day-calendar. It is nine months after the beginning of training in divination that the young novice is actually "born" and solemnly initiated into his office. Thus, in the perception of the Maya, man and calendar have the same roots; they are both of the same lunar origin. There are certain repeating rituals which are performed every 260 days on the same day. Most famous is the "New Years'" celebration of 8 Chuwen, known in the K'iche' language spoken in Momostenango as Waxakib' B'atz. Certain days are seen as more or less suitable for certain actions. For instance, a lownumbered Ak'ab'al or B'en would be a good day for a wedding, whereas K'an would be a good day for building or maintaining a house. Tedlock, in Momostenango, reports an extensive system of divination based on casting lots and counting forward through the calendar from the current day to arrive at certain days which are then interpreted. This is not pure cleromancy because somatic twitches of "blood lightning" can either be specifically consulted or arise spontaneously during the process. Many traditional mayan names are based on calendar days, often birthdays. As in astrology, personal characteristics are associated with birthdays (see Mayan astrology for details).

[edit] New Age Movement: the "Dreamspell"

The Tzolk'in is the basis for the modern, New Age invention of the "Dreamspell" calendar, developed by the esoteric author Jose Arguelles. The Dreamspell calendar is sometimes mistakenly identified as an authentic interpretation or extension of the original Maya calendar, although Arguelles himself acknowledges the Dreamspell calendar is intended as a new and synchretic creation, which is inspired by elements combined from a number of different esoteric sources.

[edit] Origins and purpose

Use of the 260-day calendar was widespread across all of the Mesoamerican cultural region, and it is regarded as being the oldest and most important of the calendar systems attested in the region, with an origin pre-dating its first appearances in Maya inscriptions.[4] . It is uncertain which Mesoamerican culture first developed this calendar. Stelae with the earliest known Long Count dates come from this general area some of the oldest unargued calendric inscriptions in this format are from the early Zapotec phases in the Oaxacan highland valleys at sites such as Monte Albn, dating from the mid 1st-millennium BCE. A few earlier-dated inscriptions and artifacts have what appear to be calendric glyphs, such as at San Jos Mogote and in the Olmec Gulf Coast region. However, either the dating method or the calendric nature of the glyphs have been disputed by some scholars.[5] The original purpose of devising such a calendar, with no obvious relation to any astronomical or geophysical cycle, is not securely known, but there are several theories. One theory is that the calendar came from mathematical operations based on the numbers thirteen and twenty, which were important numbers to the Maya. The number twenty was the basis of the Maya counting system, taken from the number of human fingers and toes. (See Maya numerals). Thirteen symbolized the number of levels in the Upperworld where the gods lived, and is also cited by modern daykeepers as the number of "joints" in the human body (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and neck). The numbers multiplied together equal 260.

Barbara Tedlock, studied this system among some contemporary Maya communities in the municipality of Momostenango in highland Guatemala, an ethnically K'iche' town. She went to the extent of serving a formal apprenticeship in the divining technique with a local adept, and was initiated as a diviner in 1976. She says: "The Momostecan calendar embraces both the 260-day cycle and the 365-day solar year, with the four Classic Maya Year-bearers, or Mam, systematically linking the two. The 260-day cycle is conceived as linked firmly to worldly or earthly affairs, mirroring no astronomical period but rather the period of human gestation. Past ethnographic accounts of this cycle contain various conflicting opinions as to what its first day is, but a comparison of the present results and those of previous studies indicates that there is no fixed first day."[6] Aveni, believes there is no one answer. But he says: "Once a Maya genius may have recognized that somewhere deep within the calendar system lay the miraculous union, the magical crossing point of a host of time cycles: 9 moons, 13 times 20, a birth cycle, a planting cycle, a Venus cycle, a sun cycle, an eclipse cycle. The number 260 was tailor made for the Maya".[7] Aveni proposes that the Maya used a Venus calendar in the way other astronomers have used a solar calendar. He suggests that the "Venus Table" in the Dresden Codex, is an accurate ephermeris for making predictions of Venus positions. Aveni also notes that the basic agricultural cycle in highland Guatemala is also about 260 days, called a tzolkin. There may also be a relation with the average length of time it takes between appearances of the planet Venus as morning or evening star, which is in round numbers 263 days. Aveni notes that "the average duration between successive halves of the eclipse season, at 173 days, fits into the tzolkin in the ratio of 3 to 2."[8] This may seem contrived, but there is evidence that the Maya used the tzolkin to predict positions of Venus and occurrences of eclipses. Another theory is that the 260-day period came from the length of human pregnancy. This is close to the average number of days between the first missed menstrual period and birth, unlike Naegele's rule which is 40 weeks (280 days) between the last menstrual period and birth. It is postulated that midwives originally developed the calendar to predict babies' expected birth dates.[9] One hypothesis put forward by several researchers such as Vincent Malmstrm[10] identifies a correlation between the 260-day cycle and an observable natural phenomenon concerns the 260-day gap between zenithal transits of the sun. According to this hypothesis, the 260-day cycle originated in the narrow latitudinal band (1442'N to 15N) in which the sun is vertically overhead about 12-13 August and again 260 days later about 30 April-l May (Malmstrm identifies the proto-Classic Izapan culture as one suitable candidate at this latitude). This period may have been used for the planting schedule of maize. However, a number of other researchers have raised objections to this conception, including noting that while the 260-day calendar runs continuously the interval between autumn-spring and spring-autumn positions alternates between 260 and 105 days, and that the earliest-known calendric inscriptions are from considerably further north of this zone.[11] Consequently this theory is not widely supported. It is of course also possible that the number 260 is multiply-determined, that it was noted as repeating for some combination of the above reasons, or for unknown reasons, and thus chosen as a basis for the calendar.
