Here are the days of the Chol Q’ij mapped onto the Gregorian month of July 2025.
The Delta Aquarids meteor shower falls on the night of the 29th/30th. This is known as a moderate shower and it will fall approximately 1 week after the new moon. Moonset will be around 10.30pm in the constellation of Virgo. The constellation of Aquarius, from where the meteors appear to radiate, will rise in the early evening. Therefore, the best time to see the meteor shower will probably be between 10 pm and dawn.

The Trek to El Mirador
I recently completed my sixth trek around the El Mirador basin. While there is a tough, physical element to this, I also consider it a deeply spiritual journey. It is a pilgrimage, and a deeply transformative journey. If you would like to see what it’s like, I made a series of videos about our experiences on each day of the trek. My highlights were days 1, 3 and 5, but day 4 was incredible too! You can find the videos here https://thefourpillars.net/the-trek-to-el-mirador/
If watching the videos inspires you, maybe you would like to join me for the Junajpu Journey in March 2026 when I will make the El Mirador trek again. This time I am creating a truly intentional journey, weaving in ceremony and spiritual practice. You can find out more here: https://thefourpillars.net/the-junajpu-journey/
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 https://thefourpillars.net/google-calendar-plugin/
