For most of the ancient people the cosmic events represented a very important moment and were a time of great celebration. Nowadays these events are no longer relevant, even though they influence our lives. For the Maya people both the Equinoxes and the Solstices mark the beginning of a new cosmic-telluric cycle. This September 23 the Equinox indicates that there is a balance in the energies, which affects us up until December 20.
The energy of this Equinox is influenced by 8 Imox; Imox is the essence of our consciousness and of our mind, number 8 represents the physical and material energies. This day opens up a space to activate our internal power, to develop our vision and intuition; it is the moment to prepare our awareness to find balance between the material and the spiritual. Use the power of this day to materialize your dreams. Remember that those who have allowed themselves to dream about something different are the ones who have transformed the world.

NOTE: SAQ’ BE’ IS NOT CURRENTLY DISTRIBUTING CHOLQ’IJ CALENDARS. THIS IS HERE FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.
As many of you know, every year Saq’ Be’ travels to the community in Chichicastenango, Guatemala to pick up the traditional Mayan Cholq’ij calendars they produce. We return with them and make them available for sale, returning the profits to the community to support their continued efforts to keep the traditional ways alive. Unfortunately, we do not know when we will be able to return this year and are thus uncertain as to when the 2005 calendars will become available. As a way of compensating for our lack of hard copy calendars, we are making available the same Cholq’ij/ Gregorian overlay on our website, which can be viewed on the front page. We have also made available information on the meaning of the Nawales (glyphs) and numbers presented. Click “read more” to view additional infromation on this calendar. We ask you to please consider supporting Saq’ Be’, a nonprofit organization, by making a tax-exempt donation to assist with our continued efforts for the rescue, preservation and appropriate sharing of these living ancient peoples, traditions and cultures.
