🌞 HAPPY INTI WATANA! 🌑
Ụ̀r̀ọ̀ #8 | SunRun: 690002026
The Sun Stops and Turns
Inti Watana 🌈 is a Quechua Inca word meaning “the sun stops and turns” or “the sun is tied,” representing and marking the extremes of daylight in our solar journey.
On this Ụ̀r̀ọ̀ #8, for those left of the equator, we experience the longest night. For those right of the equator, the shortest night. It is a global moment of celestial balance, a shared turning in our collective SunRun.
Quechua Inca: Masters of Cosmic Harmony
This sacred observation springs from the Quechua Inca, master astronomers and engineers who built in harmony with the cosmos. They achieved what many considered impossible:
🌌 Cosmic Architects
Mapped the sky with stunning precision from observatories like Machu Picchu’s Intihuatana stone, aligning building with solstices and tracking planetary movements.
🛣️ Engineering Marvels
Engineered a vast road network (the Qhapaq Ñan) spanning mountains and deserts across their continent, connecting diverse cultures, landscapes and peoples.
🌾 Agricultural Genius
Developed resilient agriculture with step terraces that prevented erosion and cultivated thousands of potato varieties—many that sustain global populations today.
📜 Innovative Communication
Created the knotted-string communication system known as Quipu, recording data, narratives, and poetry.
The Cosmic Alignment: New Moon in Scorpio
🌑 New Moon Reset
This Inti Watana arrives with a New Moon 🌑 (0%)—a profound time for release, introspection, and planting seeds in the fertile dark.
The moon’s complete darkness mirrors the Inca’s ability to find meaning and measurement in the celestial void.
A universal invitation to begin anew, aligning with the sun’s turning point.
♏ Scorpio’s Depth
The moon rests in the potent waters of ♏ Scorpio, guided by the transformative energy of the 🐉.
Scorpio’s intensity invites us to shed old skins, confront shadows, and emerge renewed—much like the Inca’s ritual transformations.
A call for emotional authenticity and rebirth.
⚖️ Global Balance
Inti Watana is a anchor. It connects us to a legacy of cosmic wisdom, reminding us that in the moment the sun appears to stop, immense potential for renewal is created.
Whether in longest night or shortest night, we share this global moment of balance across all Ụ̀r̀ọ̀ (Earth circles).
A true echo of Inca resilience and their understanding of earthly and heavenly harmony.
