The message from the Mayan World today (JULY 30) comes from the 13th Mayan Archetype:
Death Dancer

The Death Dancer Archetype is telling you to take death as an ally and release something. You will be stronger by releasing it. Death is an essential part of life. It is about death and changes vs. physical death. Her mouth is open and she appears to be smiling or even joyous as she walks on the skull and bones of the changes that this Death Dancer is making. Healing will impact her ancestral line – before and after. The green and fertile earth on the bottom of the card signifies rebirth.

The message from the Mayan World today (JULY 29) comes from the 10th Mayan Archetype:
The Wheel (Calendar of Time)

The Wheel of the Serpent says to embrace self growth without fear. The first step is to accept yourself fully as you are and be hungry for all you can be. Allow yourself to be nourished by your changes. Be motivated by faith. Open the gateway to the unknown. The Wheel is the symbol of being present in each moment and reaping the rewards of catching moments of chance. Carefully consider how to be in the Now instead of always thinking about the past or future. This is the key to our freedom.

The message from the Mayan World today (JULY 28) comes from the 9th Mayan Archetype:
Sage (Seer)

The Sage is telling you to relax and discern your truest desires. Expand your dreams. Sage has self discipline to see it all the way through. Let yourself be guided by love and respect for yourself and others without manipulation or control. Be guided by your own inner wisdom. He is kneeling in a gateway between the As Above and the So Below. Freedom comes from his knowing that he has complete freedom of choice and he is guided by Spirit while creating his world. It is important to bring the As Above into the So Below and to have discipline to direct one’s intent.

The message from the Mayan World today (JULY 27) comes from the 12th Mayan Archetype:
The Hanged Heyoka

The Hanged Heyoka is telling you to discern what is really so by reversing all the usual ways of seeing. Be spontaneous and creative. See the holy through wholeness. Do not be intimidated by convention. She doesn’t mind being laughable to others. Reality has flipped 180 degrees opposite. She is tied to old dead wood and very live vibrant flowering plants. Represents new and the past. It is a gateway of opportunity of old and new coming together. She transcends reason to challenge what is so. Trickster shows the need of the complete turnabout of usual ways of seeing.

The message from the Mayan World today (JULY 26) comes from the 2nd Mayan Archetype:
The Priestess

The Priestess is telling you to discern which of your visions need your energy and care. Find a way to bring it into being. Don’t regard difficulties as reasons to stop. A truly grand vision is marked by transitions that require you to find your inner courage and resolve. Be willing to journey into unknown territory to birth something of value.

The message from the Mayan World today (JULY 25) comes from the 6th Mayan Archetype:
The Lovers

The Lovers Archetype is telling you to find the balance between the male and feminine within. Allow the two sides of yourself to learn from each other instead of warring on the inside. Men must learn by action and by doing. Women must first go inside and be still and then take action. The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. Is it self-care? Self love? Self honour? Developing this quality awakens the lover within. You are then ready to truly love one another. Love is always an action of giving and receiving.

The message from the Mayan World today (JULY 24) comes from the 18th Mayan Archetype:
Magical Mysterious Character

This Magical Mysterious Character Archetype is telling you to commit to developing the character you were born to be. Psychic gifts grow full and ripe while other parts fall away. Notice your best parts and stop caring how others see you. This becomes crucial as we move into Dharma. Waters of life flow through the moon. Waters of emotion are being transformed into a deep sense of feeling that opens the doorway to psychic powers. Indicates the mind in all its levels of consciousness surrendering to inner light.
