Overview of Monkey Energy : thread, weaver of time
The Maya of Guatemala start the count of days with Monkey, and consider those born on this day to be great initiators, both materially and spiritually. Monkey energy inspires others to create, produce and enjoy the process. To be aligned and supported by the universe, Monkey’s must spend time in the forests and high country. When aligned with their soul’s purpose, their work may be in the arts or service-oriented. They exude laughter, light and love.
The Vertical Axis of the Mayan Cross is ruled by the direction West, where the sun sets and transforms the pink, purple and dark blue colors into the black of night. The energy of the West creates a tendency to look into the underworld of our souls, our shadow, in order to bring about change. The West is like the energy of autumn.
Heart Sign: The predominant sign of your Mayan Cross, Monkey
Monkey is the nawal (spiritual companion) found in the heart center of this Mayan Cross, who resonates most loudly from your energetic signature. Monkey’s are born with an ability to understand the great mysteries of life. They have the potential to serve an important role as the weaver of time, the carrier of the consciousness that causes souls to connect with each other. Monkey symbolizes continuity with the past, the common thread that weaves us all together as one. This is the energy that is found in the veins and arteries of the human body and the threads woven into beautiful fabric. Monkey also signifies the oldest sibling. Monkey’s are fun-loving, creative and, once they settle down, they find spirit. Monkeys need to manage their intense sexual and creative energy, as well as control their ever-active mind, in order to be fulfilled and realized.
Conception (head) Sign: Dawn
The Monkey is engendered by the spiritually mature energy of the nawal Dawn, who shows us the subtle aspects of life and steers us away from seeing things in harsh, black and white terms. Dawn is the energy present during the conception of Monkey and its softness influences Monkey’s karmic inheritance. Even as children, Monkey’s may have a sense that they have already learned many important lessons and need to take advantage of them this time around.
Destiny (feet) Sign: Rainstorm
Monkey’s destiny is influenced by the energy of the Rainstorm, strong, foreboding, yet cleansing, nourishing and purifying. This is the feminine energy of midwives who know how to move through the pain to find the gifts of life; of the mothers who consistently keep their family on the authentic path, away from trivial and less-than-noble pursuits. Monkey has the potential to be a dignified figure in a loving, mutually respectful community. If misaligned, Monkey will become dysfunctional and depressed, alone or surrounded with no one who truly understands or appreciates others.
The Horizontal Axis – These are the energies that need to be balanced in order to reach your destiny; You are influenced by the direction East where the color is red and the dawn of each new day comes forth like the hopeful energy of spring.
Left Arm - Challenges: Knowledge
Knowledge on the left side indicates that in order for Monkey to earn the nobility inherent in this sign, s/he needs to stay grounded to the earth and not spend all the time swinging in the trees. If Monkey sincerely seeks the spirit of Knowledge, s/he will possess spiritual and artistic gifts.
Right Arm - Gifts: Serpent
Serpent on the right side gives Monkey the necessary extra force to transmute internal energy and fire to fulfill the soul’s purpose. Managing this power is Monkey’s greatest test, yet provides the opportunity to perform many healings and experience many positive life changes.
