Here are the days of the Chol Q’ij mapped onto the Gregorian month of February 2025.
We start the month with the archaeoastronomical day known as Imbolc. This is the exact midpoint between the December solstice and the March equinox, and in the Celtic calendar is seen as the first day of spring. In this cycle it falls on 3rd February 2025 at 14:01 UTC
Later in the month, we have the big celebration of the Maya solar new year. The process begins on 13th February 2025 which initiates the five closing days of Tz’apin Q’ij of the Macehual Q’ij, the highland solar calendar. These are days of introspection which some groups would say are best spent in isolation. For this reason, public gatherings and ceremonies are not held by traditionalists on these days as the energy is thought to be without direction.
We then welcome the new Mam, 13 Iq’, to carry the burden of time for the next 365 days, on 18th February with a great ceremony.
13 Iq’ / 2025 Calendar
My 2025 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. Printed versions, in English, are available locally in Guatemala in San Marcos at Lava Love Cacao and Palo Santo, and in San Juan la Laguna at the candle shop of Nana Maria Feliciana. They are also now available in the USA through Soul Lift Cacao. See this link for details on how to get your pdf.
Google Calendar Plugin
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 here.
