First Steps

First Steps in the Synchronotron

A tour in five stations, from the Kin of the day to the 441 Matrix. Each station brings an image, a few sentences and a small exercise with today’s real values. At the end you discover your 441 signature.

Station 1 of 5

What Is a Kin?

Alongside the year runs the Tzolkin, a count of 260 days. Each of these days is a Kin.

Each Kin combines one of the 20 seals with one of the 13 tones: 20 × 13 = 260. Seal and tone form the name of the Kin.

The seals have four colors: red initiates, white refines, blue transforms, yellow ripens.

Small exercise

Guess first: what color is today’s seal? Then reveal the Kin of the day.

Moon and Day in the 13 Moon Calendar

The 13 Moon year begins on July 26 and has 13 moons of 28 days, 364 days in total.

July 25 is the Day Out of Time: it closes the year and belongs to no moon.

A date is written NS Ring.Moon.Day. Each ring is one year, counted since July 26, 1987 (NS1.0).

Small exercise

Which moon and which day of the moon are we in today? Hint: Moon 1 begins on July 26, and each moon lasts 28 days.

Station 3 of 5

The Heptad: The Week of Seven Days

Each moon of 28 days is divided into 4 heptads of seven days.

So the 13 Moon year has 52 heptads. Each heptad has its color and its phrase.

Small exercise

Which heptad of the year are we in today? Enter a number from 1 to 52.

Station 4 of 5

The Plasma of the Day

Each day of the heptad has its radial plasma: Dali, Seli, Gamma, Kali, Alpha, Limi and Silio.

Each plasma opens a gate in the matrix: the Heptad Gate. It is the first point of every activation.

Small exercise

Which plasma opens today? Choose one of the seven.

The 441 Matrix

The basic form of the Synchronotron is a square of 21 × 21 = 441 units.

Each unit has an address: V is the column, H is the row. The center V11.H11 is unit 441.

Every day the Calculation Board finds five points in the matrix: the Heptad Gate, the points of Time (T), Space (Sp) and Synchronicity (Sy), and the Master point (M).

Small exercise

Where is today’s Heptad Gate? Tap a unit of the matrix or choose V and H. Hint: all seven gates lie in the middle column V11.
