Here are the days of the Chol Q’ij mapped onto the Gregorian month of May 2026.
On the 5th the day of 12 Aq’ab’al aligns with Bealtaine. Bealtaine is seen as the first day of summer in the Celtic calendar. It is also around the time of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, which peaks on the morning of the 7th. This year it falls between the full moon and last quarter meaning that the sky is likely to be too bright for a good display.

Readings and Divinations
For many years I have made readings of people’s nawal to help them understand their lifepath, talents and challenges. I also make readings for partnerships and Tz’ite divinations on questions. If this is of interest to you, please click this link to book a reading or divination
1 Kej / 2026 Calendar
My 2026 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. See this link for details on how to get your pdf https://thefourpillars.net/2026-calendar/
Printed versions, in English, are nearly gone. The last ones available locally in Guatemala in San Juan la Laguna at the candle shop of Nana Maria Feliciana, opposite Banrural, across from the flete parking. I still have one or two here at my home too.
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/
