The message from the Mayan World today (MARCH 21) 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 (MARCH 20) comes from the 16th Mayan Archetype:
Tower of Transformation

"Released Man" is telling you to cast out anything that is not authentically you. It is important to challenge internal habits that block your energy and make you less effective. Time to throw them out. Be true to the best that you are and let it shine. Release from past perspectives, old systems of knowledge, of reason. Leap into freedom and wholeness. The 22 steps represent the hero’s journey into himself. Sometimes you have to leave your life the way you knew it. Lightning hits the tower striking the edifice of knowledge accumulated thus far on this journey.Is the knowledge you have real knowledge or is it the knowledge of the sacred cow?

The message from the Mayan World today (MARCH 19) comes from the 19th Mayan Archetype:
The Sun Child

The Sun’s perfection is telling you to shine no matter what just because you can. Risk your shining. Be productive with your knowledge. Be willing to be seen; no hiding your light or preening your ego. A large sun dominates. It is the spark of all of creation. It represents our inner/outer shining of us journeying on our path with heart. The only thing that can darken this card is if we don’t let our shining out... but it will happen anyway because the caked mud will fall away. In the end, the shining will come out.

The message from the Mayan World today (MARCH 18) 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 (MARCH 17 St. Patrick's Day) comes from the 20th Mayan Archetype:
Feathered Wing Serpent (Great Spirit)

The FWS comes down from the As Above to the So Below and guides our entire journey in this lifetime. Gives its presence to us. Does not control or manipulate. Trying to get us to remember that we are children of Spirit. This Archetype is telling you to align your intent with the intent of divine nature. Be guided by the perspective that you are a healthy and beautiful cell in the body of Great Spirit. Have your actions be actions of responsibility. Care for your own life and for others' lives. Be willing to ask Spirit for help.

The message from the Mayan World today (MARCH 16) 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 (MARCH 15) comes from the 3rd Mayan Archetype:
The Consort (Feminine Power)

The Feminine Consort is telling you to find your inner strength to assume your personal power. She demonstrates the ability to be inspired by life and creativity. Don’t get caught up in the small and temporary details. All life moves forward on a wave of change. Have faith in life’s wisdom and in your power to influence the outcome. She has conquered her fears and is ready to defend herself. Sun rising behind her signifies a new beginning – new possibilities. Embodies power of creativity, birthing, pure receptivity, new life, balance, stability.

The message from the Mayan World today (MARCH 14) 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 (MARCH 13) comes from the 15th Mayan Archetype:
Bonded Mythology

The Bonded Mythology Archetype is saying your outer fight is a misleading distraction. You must win the inner battles. You know the commitments you made to yourself. Keep these first. Old patterns of behaviour are not strong enough to defeat you. It's time for the masks to fall away of ego identities. Original agreements must be broken. New agreements must be made for your authentic self to emerge. The two skulls are the ego: self-pity/self importance. The cosmic broom shows something needs to be cleaned up.

The message from the Mayan World today (MARCH 12) comes from the 0 Mayan Archetype:
The Fool

0 is about creation, beginnings, the first step, potential. In his right hand he has a flower. It represents the flowering and blooming of our potential in any given lifetime. The Fool is telling you to be courageous in facing your fears. Address your inner desire to face the unknown with awe, courage and faith. What changes do you need to make for your personal transformation? The key is to meet them with courage because only a fool would set out on such a journey.

The message from the Mayan World today (MARCH 11) comes from the 14th Mayan Archetype:
Rainbow Knight (Rainbow Warrior)

The Rainbow Warrior is telling you to see opportunity and possibility where others are stuck in opposition. He encourages you to transcend the places where you feel stuck in your life by being inspired by growth and self-knowledge. Be willing to do what will make a positive difference. You can make magic through creative and imaginative action instead of trying to defeat the other. As we begin to give of ourselves, we create much more impact than we thought we could.
