This Mayan Medicine Wheel is from a Soul Path Astrology chart done for a person born on the Mayan day of 4 Lamat (Gregorian date April 6, 1964). Lamat is the name of the glyph in the middle of the wheel and is her personal Mayan Daykeeper or galactic guide. Her written chart included several pages of key information about her personal soul energies - gifts, strong points, useful techniques for personal growth and challenges that might come up on her life path. Her personal Mayan Medicine Wheel (shown above) shares her galactic/spiritual helpers and guides that stand in each of the four cosmic directions. The reading lasted one and one-half hours and was taped for her to have along with the written chart. Here are a few sample questions she asked, to give you an idea of the type of information that can be covered in a reading - although each person and each chart is highly individual, as I get a lot of guidance from the Mayan Daykeepers for each person specifically.
Q: I am thinking about going into a management position. Would that be good?
A: The Daykeepers feel there are not any right or wrong jobs for different soul energies. Much of the decision is based on what you love to do. However, Soul Path Astrology does address your soul gifts and soul path, so it can give you an idea of your soul resonance with any specific activity. This can help you make a decision that will empower your soul and your purpose in being here.
Your birth Daykeeper is Lamat, the star. Lamat has a great ability to harmonize. Lamat people can blend many different ideas and energies into a nice, balanced whole. So, your soul would be very at home with the team building part of being a manager. You should be able to be a good mediator when differences arise. Also you could easily take many different ideas, energies and personality styles and blend them into a powerful, united team. Lamat has a tremendous ability to keep many details in their mind at once, while still keeping in touch with the wholeness of the situation. So you would not tend to get lost in the details and would probably be very good at delegating and organizing to get things done efficiently. As a Lamat, you would tend to have a very harmonious energy that would help to hold the group together and keep the workers happy about working together, working for the company, and working with you.
Your birthday is also on a number four day. Four is about the place in our creative process where our plan becomes complete, where we put that plan into its final form. So fours do well planning, getting plans completed, gathering materials and getting things ready to go into the manifestation process. Obviously that is a skill a manager should have.
There are areas I would say would be challenging for you in management. Lamat people love harmony so much that they tend to give in on their own perspective, ideas and beliefs in order to keep the peace. Unless you have mastered this particular challenge of Lamat, you might have a great deal of difficulty being able to hold your own. You might tend to be overly influenced by the other people in your work group, especially if any of them was a very strong personality. You might not even be sure what you wanted, because Lamat energy tends to meld, merge and become one with others. That is why Lamat people are good mediators, because they can see everyone else’s position very well. But sometimes it makes it very hard for them to know their own position. The key for you in dealing with this challenge would be for you to practice delegating and sharing the responsibility. You are not the type of leader who could easily take charge and run everything; i.e. you would not do well in a hierarchical type management situation. You would do well in a group where the team is important, where your motivational skills and your ability to harmonize diverse talents into an integrated whole would be used. You could help everyone feel useful by finding his or her part to contribute to the whole plan. This is a higher form of management anyway and your soul gifts could be an excellent model and catalyst to create this type of group.
In your Mayan Medicine Wheel, your opposite is Etznab, the mirror. Etznab is about clear, sharp discrimination and cutting through illusions. So, as a Lamat, you may find it hard to discriminate about people you might want to hire or people working for you. It might be very hard for you to see their shortcomings or limitations. So it might be good for you to have someone in your group, who you can trust, who could be the discrimination person. This person would help you by seeing clearly into the core essence of other people and knowing what their strengths and weaknesses are. This would help you know where to place them or how to use them best. Lamat people are also not initiators. They are in the Yellow Ripening kin and the Blood Clan and they also have Ben, the Skywalker, in their veiled position. This makes them good at preserving and holding things so they can stay steady and ongoing. So in general, it can be hard for you to be the creative initiator or to come up with radical new ways to perceive or do things. Because of this, it would also be good for you to have a creative, think-tank type of person in your team. This person would be the one who would be constantly coming up with new ideas and who would be able to shift perspectives easily to see things in radically different ways. Having these two helpers in your team would be a way to fill in the management skills that are more challenging or hidden for you at a soul level. This would free you to do the things you do best and would make a management job much easier and more enjoyable for you.
Q: My partner and I can not seem to communicate. Should I stay with him?
A: Your Cosmic Mayan Daykeepers will not tell you what you should or should not do about relationships. Also, without the Soul Path Astrology chart of your partner, we can not do an actual relationship reading. But what we can focus on in answer to your question is what are your needs in relationship? What qualities in a partner would serve you? I think this will be useful in making your decision because you can take a look at your partner to see if he has those soul qualities. You can see if you feel that he can provide them for you. If he can not, then your soul needs in relationship will not be met by being with him and you might consider moving on. If he does have those qualities, then I would say to stick with it even if there are personality level challenges. This is because on a soul level he can feed you, nurture you and support you in the way you need.
So to answer the question about what are your soul needs in relationship, there are two parts to the answer. One is your basic soul energy of Lamat. For Lamat people, the most important thing is harmony. They need to have a harmonious blending of different things into beneficial combinations and interconnectedness. They are very unhappy when there are any disharmonies and have a difficult time with this. So you want to be with someone who flows in harmony with you and who enjoys that. Some people grow better with challenges and difficult situations, but for you harmony will support you to be more who you are. Harmony will allow you to open and be your full self. Therefore, the amount of harmony and smooth flow with your partner is one important gauge of the resonance of your souls.
Besides your birth Daykeeper, another very important part of the chart to look at for relationship information is your supporting Daykeeper. This gives you an indication of what supports you. Accessing your supporting energy helps keep your emotions in balance and your body healthy. Your supporting Daykeeper is Chuen, the monkey. Chuen is about your inner child – about being full of wonder and joy, spontaneity and innocence. Chuen asks you to play and just delight in the world. Some of your major needs in relationship will be humor, fun and play. The ideal partner for you would not necessarily be someone you work with, but someone you can play with. A partner who can help you relax and forget about work and serious things would support you. Humor is an important aspect of your supporting also. It helps prevent you from being overly serious, which can happen to Lamat people. Chuen as your supporting points to a partner with a good sense of humor. He could get you to laugh at yourself, which is one of the best ways to keep life in perspective and break old boundaries. Finally, artistry is another quality of Chuen people. This supports you because Lamat people love beauty and need to have it in their surroundings and their life. You may find yourself drawn to a man who has his feminine side balanced enough to bring out his artistry. He may actually be an artist or musician, but not necessarily. His artistic side will create the beauty that feeds you and makes you feel supported and happy.
These, then, are some key things you should look for to support yourself and find fulfillment in relationship. If your partner provides those, then even if there are some challenges, it might be good to go with it. If these soul qualities do not describe your partner – maybe he is very serious, is not a harmonious people-kind-of person or does not have a sense of beauty and artistry about life – then this may be primarily a learning relationship. I would then ask Kan, your guide, whether you have learned all you need to in this relationship and whether it is time to move on. Lamat people often draw to themselves lessons of disharmony, it is one of the challenges of the Lamat path. But if you, as a Lamat, stay a long time in a disharmonious situation, it will shut down your soul energy and disempower you. So if this seems to be primarily a learning relationship and there is really constant disharmony, do not stay in that type of relationship too long. Otherwise, your own soul energies will not get a chance to blossom and you will not grow to be all you can be.
