Quiahuitl ~ Rain

Cualli Tonalli this day Quiahuitl or Rain with the guardian Tonatiuh - Sun God. The moon is in waning gibbous ~ Recieve. Every gardener knows that rain is the optimum way to receive. It settles the earth, awakens the seeds and plants, and distributes the energy evenly across the earth. After a rain, the garden is more vibrant. It has the color of the medicine from which was administered. This trecena Alt, or water is especially potent because the energies of rain and water align to the receiving energy of the gibbous moon. Tonitiuh is always behind and driving from the other side of the clouds. For those of us transcending cycles of grief and trauma, today especially we are wise to take a moment and noticably feel what it is to receive. 
The power is Matlactli Uan Ce Alotl, the Macaw. A mesmerizing intellect and an appearance of beauty. Macaw spatters the sky with color and reminds us of the beauty of the rain today. 
The lord of the night, Tlaloc, the lord of the rain. As a western US culture we are continually communicating with this essence and today the energies align. It is a wonderful night to give gratitude prayer for the amount of rain we do receive. Ometeotl Sarah
