Lamat / Seed / Rabbit
Today is Maya day 11 Lamat (Q’anil in Aztec), and is an auspicious day for planting crops or negotiating business. This is a sign that represents reproduction and birth and is a very sensual sign. Lamat is rich with abundance and is synonymous with fertility. The glyph for Lamat is one of the principal symbols of spirituality to the Maya and is the basis of the altar used in their traditional fire ceremony. The cross represent the sacredness of the number four (elements, colors, seasons), the circles represent the four cycles of Venus and the polarity of contained within while the circle encasing it all represents time itself. Projects begun on a Lamat day will generally turn out favorably, and a Lamat period is known to be marked with celebration. It is a reminder that we are all connected to the abundance and joy of the world and not separate from it.
Lamat natives are generally very fortunate, intuitive, kind, generous and good-natured. They have gentle dispositions, are adaptable and assimilate easily. They are fantastic at manufacturing what they desire although they dislike risk and desire serenity. Despite their associations with fertility, many Lamat people decide to not have children. Nature moves them and they are naturally attuned to inner wisdom that can be surfaced through reading (which they love to do) and meditation. On the shadow side, they have a difficult time letting go and tend to dump their problem onto their partners. In some cases Lamat natives are known to be egotistical and neurotic -- tricksters who tell people whatever they want to hear. They are not always great on getting the details right and find fidelity challenging and if not promiscuous themselves, may partner with someone who is. Those born under this sign are a bit erratic, have difficulties finishing projects, and can be quick to make controversial statements. But overall Lamat people are deeply empathetic, generous, and forgiving -- a warm place to to turn in the cold world.
