Red Self-Existing Dragon

Seal 1

Dragon · Imix

Nurturing what wants to be born

Action nurturePower birthEssence being

The Red Dragon is the first of the twenty seals and opens every count of the Tzolkin. It represents what exists before any action: being. Its action is to nurture, its power is birth. Like a source that asks for nothing and nourishes everything, it is a reminder that every beginning must first be received. In the Dreamspell, red is the color that initiates. As a seal of the input time cell, the Dragon receives the new and gives it a first place. It belongs to the Cardinal Earth family and the Fire Clan; in the planet holon it corresponds to Neptune and to the galactic-karmic flow, which runs from the outside in. In Hunab Ku 21, it embodies the Primal Force, the original creative energy from which everything else is born. The Dragon invites you to trust the origin and to give room to a beginning even before it has taken form.

Tone 4

Self-Existing

Clear form gives support

Action definePower formEssence measuring

Question What is the form my service will take?

The Self-Existing tone gives the project a shape. Its action is to define, its power is form, its essence is measuring. What until now was impulse gains contours, measures, and limits. Its question is: What is the form my service will take? In Maya numerals four dots show it, and four is the number of the directions, of the seasons, and of the square: the number of stable form. The name says that a form, once well delineated, can exist by itself. Measuring here means finding the right measure, neither too much nor too little. With this tone the first quarter of the wavespell closes: purpose, challenge, service, and form are defined. The Self-Existing tone invites you to give your project a clear outline, so that it holds and can grow.
