Red Serpent
The Red Serpent is the 5th glyph of the ‘Tzolkin’ and key words associated with it are ‘life force, instinct’ and ‘kundalini`. The serpent is a sacred creature in many cultures. It is a symbol of healing because of the ability to shed it’s own skin . The eyes of the serpent glaze over giving it a trance-like appearance. This symbolises the need to go through a similar process, in order to be healed. When the serpent emerges from it`s old skin it is re- newed as if reborn. But he only achieves a new life by going through a transformational process first.
We can all use serpent medicine to aid our own healing by entering a state of consciuosness, which is altered from our normal state.. The serpent is also symbol for the base chakra, the kundalini. It is said there is a coiled serpent lying at the base of our spine .Enlightenment is reached when the serpent uncoils stretching to the crown chakra This represents that enlightenment can be achieved only when we have fully connected ourselves here on earth via our base chakra with our crown chakra (the heavens)

To the Maya the serpent was a god known as Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent. It is interesting that these people who lived by a natural cycle of a moon calendar, choose a feathered serpent as a god. If you could see a smoke trail behind the moon as it orbits around us, like a jet plane, you would see the pattern that it made looks like a snake in the sand. The Maya would have noticed this and perhaps it is not a coincedence that what they saw as a snake in the sky , the god Quetzalcoatl, was in fact a way of explaining, that timing is important. This connects the serpent to the moon but the serpent also has a connection to the earth. For no creature has a closer connection to the earth, as it crawls on it’s belly. People born on Red Serpent days would do well to copy the serpent and from time to time, shed their old skin and emerge re newed.. Because the serpent is associated with the base chakra, the kundalini, quite often Red Serpents can be sex obessed.
This just shows that they have a lot of personal power but because there isn’t a connection between the crown chakra and the base chakra all that energy is focusing simply in the lower regions .
Red Serpents need to find the balance and make that connection happen between heaven and the earth.

All Red Serpent people have in common in their birth charts the same occult, challenge and like-minded glyphs.
The only difference being the guide, which is decided according to the number. (see chart below)

The challenge of the Red Serpent is the Blue Eagle. This glyph symbolises creativity and vision. as well as `seeing things from a higher perspective` ,as the eagle does. This poses an interesting challenge for Red Serpent as the serpent must remember to uncoil and reach the crown chakra to find enlightenment If they flew like an eagle from time to time and saw what was going on all around them not just from the point of view of being grounded on this earth , then the Red Serpents may gain a more rounded and objective view of their own reality. Red Serpent people should focus on creative things which will help them be in their minds more and their bodies less.

The occult power of the Red Serpent is the Yellow Warrior. This glyph represents questing and intelligence. The occult glyph is the glyph that symbolises your personal magical power, the ace up your sleeve, the gift that has been giving to you to enable you to successfully complete your mission here on earth To have Yellow Warrior in the occult position means that the kind of quest that you are own is the quest to find magic . You make a good knight of the round table. To have a quest is all you need to focus your mind on something positive.

The like-minded glyph for the Red Serpent is the White Wizard. The like-minded glyph is the other glyph in the Tzolkin that has more in common with you than any other. White Wizard represents enchantment and whenever you meet someone born on a White Wizard day you’ll find that you naturally connect.

If you are born on a number one (magnetic) or a number six (rhythmic) or a number eleven (spectral) day, then you are guided by
Red Serpent or another way of saying it is that ‘you are guided by your own power doubled’. People who are guided by themselves tend to be quite stubborn, resourceful and very self-reliant. This can lead to problems at times however, as it can be frustrating when you really need an answer.

If you`re number three (electric) or a number eight (galactic) or a number thirteen (cosmic) then you are guided by the Red Moon. This glyph symbolises universal water and purification. ‘Going with the flow’ is the key phrase that summaries this glyph. To have this as guide implies you only function well if you can relax, trust the universe and go with that flow.

If you are number four (self existing) or a number nine (solar) then you are guided by the Red Dragon. This glyph symbolises nurturing and birth.
