This is the perfect day to share time with your partner, to enjoy and to be grateful for the blessings that you have received and that have and will make you happy, to thank the Creator and Maker for every instant you have shared.  Today is also the last day of the Kawoq trecena (thirteen days) which brought the energy of abundance and a connection to the family and community.

Nawal Q'anilNumber 10 symbolizes the cosmic and telluric energies that enter our body through our fingers and toes. Q’anil is a good day for beginnings; it represents the seeds that we plant whether in projects, crops, business, travel, friendship, or love. Just as your present is the result of your past actions, today you can use the cosmic and telluric energies to plant the seeds that you want to harvest tomorrow. Take some time to think about what you really desire for your future.
