So - there's this build-up of energy, lasting 10-15 days.

It's as though the point of this 10-day build-up is specifically to review and find out empirically what is or is not working in our individual and collective worlds. Whatever does not belong any more is likely to give way while this pressure is coming to bear on it.

This is okay - not comfortable, necessarily :) - but okay, and useful if we'll allow it to be. It's an opportunity to throw the baggage overboard, before moving into something new.

Following this period of 'trial by pressure' comes the 20-day period known as "Core Days". For me, this has felt like "an interface between past and future". I think that, literally, this period of time, and the energies that are present during it, provide a means to write for ourselves a new future, individually and also collectively. If you're inclined to meditate, or to fast and/or pray, this is probably a great time to be doing that, or more of that than usual; etc.

Following Core Days: 5 days of "nothing special"; then another 10-day stretch of galactic activation portal days - but this second 10-day stretch has always felt quite different from the first one. This second stretch feels like the "unwinding" of whatever got wound up during the first one; like returning down the mountain one had climbed up previously, to return to the world and to one's daily affairs - but with a new future having been set in motion, now to be lived moment-by-moment.

So, for what it's worth: "Heads up!" :) Something's coming, beginning about next Thursday; "bad stuff" can be allowed to fall away during this time, and new "good stuff" can be put in its place for the future.

The world may feel a little shaky during this time - and the more of us that are aware that what's happening is not personal, not national, not even hemispherical, but _global_ at least, the more we can "hold steady" and thus help other folks who are feeling a lot of pressure to know "it's all right", actually, and they just need to hang in there and throw anything that looks like 'baggage' overboard - uh, and remember to turn loose of it when you do. :)

In a reply to this message, I'll post the "Mayan Signatures" and words of affirmation for the days ahead.
