The significance of this day
Day Coatl (Snake) is governed by Chalchihuitlicue as its provider
of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Coatl is the day of the snaking river that
always changes without changing. It signifies the fleeting moment of eternal
water. A good day for humility, a bad day for acting on self-interests.
The thirteen day period (trecena) that starts with day 1-Ocelotl (Jaguar) is ruled
by Quetzalcoatl. This trecena represents brilliance and clarity during a profound
eclipse of the light. The principal influence of this time is the divine Whirlwind: to
stand in its path calls down destruction; to stand in its eye calls down creation.
These are good days to withdraw into the solitude of contemplation and selfdiscipline; bad days to traffic with those on another path. In the center of it all,
the warrior strives to be the mirror rather than the reflection.
