		This trecena signifies the transitory nature of all that we may gain in life: it is a reminder to view success and failure, gain and loss, as matters of fate and not as matters of personal worth.
		The 13 days of this trecena are governed by the conflict between culture and nature: the native desire of human beings to maintain a lineage of customs and beliefs is periodically disrupted by the evolutionary leaps of nature.
		The days of this trecena often pass by unnoticed since they are not remarkable until the elementals turn their attention to this place, the first of the thirteen skies; when this occurs, though, the whole of the world changes.

		All three of the intervals of the vientena, trecena and novena are apparently fundamental to the design of the solar system.
		The trecena and vientena have their first days coincide every 13 x 20 = 260 days, forming the sacred round, which has been discussed at length in my articles relating to holy days.
		Using the 13-day trecena as the unit of time for the Venus calendar, one can count 11 cycles of exactly five mercs (585 days) each followed by one cycle of 572 days, for a total of 7,007 days.

		This trecena signifies the transitorynature of all that we may gain in life: it is a reminder to view success and failure, gain and loss, as matters of fate and not as matters of personal worth.
		This trecena is governed by the goddess of cotton and weaving, of sexuality and childbirth, she who is the eater of sins: it is the sign of the Scavenger, who feeds not on power but on the ills that darken the heart.

		The first day of each trecena was sacred to Native Americans and was a day of fasting.
		The trecena of 1 Light is followed by that of 1 Jaguar (the first day in the second row).
		Thus, the 13-day trecena is an excellent unit of time to track both of these planets.

		Rios 11 (18v) Sixth Trecena: Naollin (Nahui Ollin), that is to say, the tremulous action and motions of the Sun caused by the reflection of its rays.
		They feign that Mayaguil was a woman with four hundred breasts, and that the gods, on account of her fruitfulness, changed her into the Maguei (Maguey plant), which is the vine of that country, from which they make wine.
		Tlavizcalpantecutli was the god of the morning or of the light, when the sign of the morning twilight or the crepusculum arrives, which they say was created before the sun.

	The 819 Day Count (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Since 819 is evenly divisible by 13, the trecena day for each 819 day station is a constant and is always one.
		The trecena for 819 day stations is always one, since 819 is evenly divisible by 13, and since the base day for the count is set at three days before “zero” (4 Ahaw 8 Kumk’u), and 4 - 3 is 1.
		Determing the Lord of the Night for the base date is equally simple; for MDAY 0, the Lord of the Night is G9, and three days before that would necessarily be G6.

	The Moon and its Weeks in Ancient Mexico*
		The twenty 13-day "weeks," known in Spanish as the Trecena (13ths), are basically lunar in nature since they represent the time taken for the Sun to match the Moon's daily travel.
		In fact, this was one of the uses of the Trecena in ancient Mexico.
		It was during this Trecena (August 15 - 28, 1998) that President Clinton made a public admission of his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

		His festival was celebrated on the second day of the third trecena of the year, called Izquitecatl and during the eighth trecena.
		These gods, who played a highly important role in a predominantly agricultural society, shared iconographic characteristics very similar to those of Tlaloc himself, but they had small bodies and always carried their staffs and jugs bearing the image of the rain god.
		The rest of the space was divided into rectangles, painted with the 13 names and numbers of the days, that is to say of the trecena.

	Untitled Document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although this trecena pacing is not referenced explicitly by page breaks in the Madrid almanac, it is implied by mathematical and pictorial clues—clues intrinsically tied to the novel borrowing of this format.
		Such a trecena rhythm is supported by the non-calendrical contents of the following pages; if one overlays a thirteen-day structure on the rows of day signs, as illustrated in Figure 2c, the astronomical phenomena consistently appear in the trecena of their occurrence; the slight discrepancies of placement do not exist vis-à-vis these proposed trecena intervals.
		Additionally, the trecena almanac on 77-78 and the Formée cross almanac on 75-76 may reside on the reverse because of space limitations on the obverse at the end of the in extenso almanac, a possibility potentially supported by the incomplete sketching of the final portion of the in extenso sequence on page 18.

	Part VI, Aztec Calendar: The Pointer
		It does seem to follow the logic of design that the months would be assigned spaces between days 1 and 20, the beginning and ending of a year count.
		We were unable to find a similar relationship that might be suggestive of the trecenas (13-day cycles) or the aggregate ones (los acompañados), the names attached to the last 100 days of the 360-day count.
		One should notice that the day-glyph numbers 7, 14, 20 are not connected in this pattern, but become connected when we continue to mark off the remaining cycles of the 260-day count.

		The trecena consists of days numbered from 1 to 13 in an unending cycle.
		Each trecena is named for its first day, which is shown in bold.
		In nearly every modern text on this subject, the Sacred Round is presented as 13 vientenas rather than 20 trecenas, but that contradicts all of the Native American usage of which I'm aware.

		The trecena are periods of 13 days that appear to have lunar qualities (see my book "Signs of Time.") Within each trecena are 13 day-signs (not shown, but figured easily enough) which appear to have a solar quality.
		According to my calculations, Mars actually entered the trecena 1-Serpent, in which Clinton's tonalli is located, on November 2nd and ran over his TP on the 13th.
		In this graph the 20 trecena are on the vertical axis while time runs along the horizontal axis.

		The trecena, or “13”, a cycle of 13 numbers from 1-13; any modulo function yielding a position in the trecena must replace a 0 result with 13.
		The trecena and the veintena together comprise the tzolk’in, a 260-day interlocking cycle (13 * 20 = 260); to view a complete tzolk’in, click here.
		We add 1 because day 0 in the tzolk’in is 1 ’Imix; and, since the range of the trecena is 1-13, when our modulo function returns 0 we replace the 0 with 13.

		These 260 days were then broken up into 20 periods, with each period containing 13 days, called trecenas.
		Each period was given the name of something that was then shown by a hieroglyphic sign, and each trecena was given a number 1-13.
		Each trecena is also thought to have a god or deity presiding over each of the trecena.

	Aztec Calendar: 13-day period Xochitl (flower)
		The 13-day period Xochitl (Flower) is ruled by Huehuecoyotl, Old Coyote, the Trickster, god of deception.
		This trecena signifies the sacred role of the jester: revealing the truth of the old ways by treating them as irreverantly as the gods do, the jester treats nothing as sacred and so points out the sacredness of everything.
		These are 13 days profoundly influenced by creativity and playfulness: music, dance, art and poetry are simply masks worn by the jester to tear away the away the masks of civilization.
