Seal 20
Sun · Ahau
Shining so that life may appear
Action enlightenPower universal fireEssence life
The Yellow Sun is the twentieth seal and closes the circle. Its action is to enlighten, its essence is life, its power is universal fire. It gives light and warmth without asking to whom, and makes visible what was in the dark. To enlighten here means to see clearly and to let others see. Yellow is the color of ripening, and in the Sun the whole round of seals ripens into wholeness. It belongs to the matrix time cell and the Polar Earth family, and opens the Fire Clan, to which the Dragon, Wind, Night, and Seed also belong; thus from its light the next beginning is born. In the planet holon it corresponds to Pluto; there the galactic-karmic flow begins, running inward. In Hunab Ku 21, it carries the archetype of the Enlightened One. The Sun reminds you that every life has a light of its own, which warms when it is shared.
Tone 9
Solar
With a steady pulse toward the purpose
Action pulsePower intentionEssence realizing
Question How do I attain my purpose?
The Solar tone gives the project momentum. Its action is to pulse, its power is intention, its essence is realizing. Just as the Sun emits light in a steady pulse, intention works here like a continuous engine that carries the project forward day after day. Its question is: How do I attain my purpose? It takes up the question of the first tone and carries it into practice. The Solar tone belongs to tones 1, 5, 9, and 13, in which the color of the wavespell’s seal recurs; with it begins the third quarter of the wavespell, in which the project is realized. In Maya numerals it appears as a bar and four dots. Nine is the largest single-digit number, a sign of a ripening that comes close to completion. The Solar tone invites you to keep your intention alive and to give it form through regular action.
