Over The Four Pillars (Maya Calendar Wisdom)

Hi, I'm Mark. I have been studying the Maya Calendars for the past 28 years and live in the highlands of Guatemala. The main question I want to explore is "how can we use the Maya sacred calendar to live a richer, more harmonious and more fulfilling life?" I love to share what I have understood from my investigations and personal practices with the sacred calendar. I have been writing a blog about the energies of the calendar for the past 10 years and now I want to make the information more accessible.

The Tijax Trecena (20th May - 1st June 2026)

The Tijax trecena presents an opportunity to release what is causing an imbalance in life to promote healing, to cut through to our truth. It could be an excellent time for cleansing, a time of refinement as we polish our inner diamond. For many years I have made readings of people's nawal to help them understand their lifepath, talents and challenges. I also make readings for partnerships and Tz'ite divinations on questions. If this is of interest to you, please click this link to book a reading or divination [https://thefourpillars.net/book-a-reading-or-consultation/]. Please note that I will be travelling for the next few weeks. I will open up some appointment slots in early June, so if you can't see any availability, please be sure to check back in a few days' time. If you would like to dive deeper into the sacred calendar, I will be running a workshop via Zoom from 10 am to 2 pm (Guatemala time, UTC -6) from Monday 20th - Friday 24th July 2026. There are currently spaces available. For more information, please go to https://thefourpillars.net/?page_id=1120 [https://thefourpillars.net/maya-calendar-workshop/] My 2026 calendar is now available. The calendar shows the days of the Chol Q'ij, formatted onto the Gregorian calendar. Currently it is available electronically as a PDF in both English and Spanish. See this link ‎for details on how to get your pdf  https://thefourpillars.net/2026-calendar/ [https://thefourpillars.net/2026-1-kej-wall-calendar-pdf/] For the more technically minded I have also created a plugin for Google Calendar. This enables you to track the days of the sacred calendar on your smartphone. In this way you can ensure that your activities are aligned to the most conducive energies! I have also added a description to every day, just click on the day name. It is available for purchase https://thefourpillars.net/google-calendar-plugin/ [https://thefourpillars.net/google-calendar-plugin/] When I mention programs within my videos, it is because I know the people involved and can vouch that your donations will go towards helping the people for which they are intended. A wonderful, highly active project to bring water stability to families is Water4Life Global. Jenna MacEwan and her team have been making a difference to peoples' lives since 2018. They provide water filters to local families throughout Guatemala, thereby giving direct access to clean drinking water. Additionally, they are directly involved in action which helps to clean up the local sources of water. This is achieved through greywater treatment projects, reforestation and education. To learn more or donate, please visit: https://water4lifeglobal.org/donate/ [https://water4lifeglobal.org/donate/] In their words: "Our Mission is to offer safe, dignified and culturally appropriate health care to women in Guatemala by empowering indigenous midwives through education. We focus on revaluing the Mayan ancestral knowledge while integrating modern medical practices. With the creation of Holistic Clinic(s) & Birthing Center(s) as a meeting ground and model project. Our Vision is that every woman has access to humane, respected and safe birth care. The midwives and women are empowered to lead the creation of a thriving community where those who are most vulnerable have their needs met, and men support the women in creating this healthy and vibrant family and community structure."

I checked the calendar and found another auspicious trecena, the trecena of E', would fall within the trekking period.
