Here are the days of the Chol Q’ij mapped onto the Gregorian month of September 2026.
After the flurry of eclipses and other cosmic phenomena during August, September will be a relatively quiet month. Perhaps the most important day will be the equinox which will fall on 23rd September at 00:05 UTC (22nd September at 18:05 Guatemala time.)
The El Mirador Trek 2027
As many of you know, I have made the El Mirador Trek 8 times now, taking a small group with me each time. In 2026 I made two journeys which were very much retreat type journeys. In 2027 my focus will be more on exploration and adventure as I extend the time trekking in the jungle from 6 days to 10 days, and the distance to 150km. Of course, there will always be ceremony involved, but next year’s trek will take us deeper into the jungle to the remote sites of La Muralla and Naachtun.
If you’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime, please check out the details here!
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 seed divinations on questions. If this is of interest to you, please click this link to book a reading or divination.
Calendar Workshop
If you would like to dive deeper into the sacred calendar, I will be running a workshop via Zoom from 11 am to 3 pm (Guatemala time, UTC -6) from Monday 7th – Friday 11th September 2026. There are currently spaces available. For more information, please go to https://thefourpillars.net/?page_id=1120

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/
