Over the next 13 days, from March 16th until March 28th, we enter "Reed", the Trecena of Guidance.
The Cane or Reed (English), Ben (Yucatan), or Aj (Kiche) is the 13th sign in the Mayan sign system. It symbolizes the guiding light of family and home, and the tenderness and innocence of small children.
The vertical lines of the glyph signify superior stalks that don’t reach the end. This represents development of the spiritual process and sacred interconnectedness. The horizontal line represents multiplication and the horizon.
This sign represents: sugar cane; corn and the growth; health and abundance of offspring; seeds, harvest, and crops or gardens in general; nourishment, renewal, and restoration; stability, strength, and solidity; and resoluteness of character.
Some other aspects Cane is associated with are: clairvoyance and telepathy, sacred speech and dreams, and the connection between cosmic and telluric (Earth based) energies.
It is considered to watch over professions, vocations and trades, and symbolizes the staff of authority and power.
Reed embodies the energy and vitality of life itself, and the flourishing of all things related to home and household.
Cane is also a sign of communication. It’s the pillar that connects the cosmic and telluric energy. It activates the forces that makes the heroic acts, and it proportions leadership. It cultivates the knowledge of the human nature developed through communal work. Personifies integrity, honesty and strictness.
Reed brings simplicity and the justice for the "order of the existence" and harmony of life. It’s a sign of prestige and status, and brings the energy to excel and reach perfection in all acts.
Properties associated with Reed/Cane are: knowledge, strong opinions and forcefulness, deep knowledge of human nature, problem solving, and negotiations.
Some things to watch out for are intellectually rigidity, inflexibility, stubbornness, being opinionated, and being prone to argue.
ACTIVITIES
Some activities that correspond with this sign are staying home, enjoying the company of your loved ones, and giving thanks for the presence of loved ones in your life and the blessings they bring.
It's a good time to ask that our energies may be renewed; ask that a person may comply with their obligations; and to give firmness to our purpose, so that others may understand and respect our path.
Ask for protection for the home, animals, and plants.
It is a period to ask for good timing, and to ask for triumph. Ask for the resurrection of nature, for the purification of the environment, and for harmony.
Reflect on what is most important and meaningful in your life. Is it career, fame, financial, or professional success? Or is it those closest to us, whom we may sometimes take for granted because they’re always there for us?
OTHER INFO
Animal totems are the armadillo and the bee.
In the Classical Maya tradition, it is associated with the cardinal direction East and the color red. In the tradition of modern day K’iche’ Maya, it is North and the color white.
Ben days bring good weather and good harvests, and facilitate the return home.
