When we find ourselves making too much effort to hold on to something, it might be a sign that it isn’t meant for us. Letting go of what doesn’t belong to us creates space for the new. Life always offers beautiful possibilities, but we need to release what isn’t ours to sustain. Our inner self holds the wisdom to guide us in what we need to let go of; it’s just about listening to ourselves with honesty, observing which parts of our lives feel blocked, and asking if what we’re doing truly contributes to our happiness.
In this trecena of Tijax, its energy helps us cut through the limitations that entangle us, heal, and clear our path.
Cuando tenemos que hacer un esfuerzo demasiado grande por sostener algo, tal vez sea una señal de que ese algo no es para nosotros. Cada vez que soltamos lo que no nos pertenece, abrimos espacio para algo nuevo. La existencia siempre nos ofrece posibilidades hermosas, pero necesitamos dejar ir aquello que no nos corresponde. Nuestro interior tiene la sabiduría para guiarnos en lo que debemos soltar; solo es cuestión de escucharnos con honestidad, observar qué aspectos de nuestra vida están bloqueados y preguntarnos si lo que hacemos realmente aporta a nuestra felicidad.
En esta trecena de Tijax, su energía nos apoya a cortar las limitaciones que nos atan, a sanarnos y a despejar nuestro camino.
Aq’ab’al represents light and dark—two opposing yet harmonious energies that complement each other to form a whole. Similarly, every human being carries opposing characteristics seeking integration. To experience wholeness, we must approach ourselves honestly, shedding light on the aspects we need to observe and address rather than remaining in unconscious patterns. As we identify and inhabit what we feel, we can bring it to a state of harmony. Yet, when we deny or reject these aspects, they return more persistently and instead of finding harmony and wholeness, we become further entrapped in conflict. Let us honor and work with every part of ourselves, for it shapes who we are and unlocks the possibilities of who we can become.
Whenever we offer advice, let us take a moment to truly listen to ourselves. Often, what we say to others reveals what we need to accept, integrate, or work through within ourselves. The wisdom in our words when we offer advice may be exactly what we need to hear. Let us stay open to the guidance that comes to us as we share with others.
When we ignore the emotions, thoughts, and energies that affect us, instead of working with them to heal them, they can manifest as illness in our physical body. Today, with the guidance of Kajib’, which helps us find balance; Imox, the cleansing force of water; and Tijax, offering its healing and liberating power, let us take a moment to release what weighs us down.
The convergence of Oxib’ Ajpu and the Tijax trecena creates a space for us to recognize our experiences and processes as an essential part of our awakening. Its power reminds us that, in becoming light, we must sometimes pass through moments of darkness and missteps. This is neither good nor bad; it is simply part of a whole that is complete and perfect.
The wisdom passed down by the wise Elders through their stories, their spirituality, and their every action, reminds us of the importance of caring for one another, honoring Mother Earth, and treating animals, plants, insects and every form of life with love and respect. Let us return to this way of living, support one another, and make choices that are conscious and kind to all life on this planet.
This day marks the beginning of a trecena influenced by Ajaw Tijax, the power of obsidian and the double-edged blade. The elders have passed down to us that the energy of Tijax manifests to offer us strength and wisdom, supporting us in healing and cleansing. Its force encourages us to open new paths toward our destiny, break through limitations, expand our vision, and uncover the true reality, revealing the power within us.
Wisdom isn’t found solely by nurturing our intellect through books or classes. It’s something we gain with every step we take, from every person who enters our lives, from our connection to the elements of nature, to energies, and through our interactions with everything around us. Today is a reminder of the importance of living each moment fully, marveling at the simple things in life, and allowing ourselves to learn from them. This trecena encourages us to take action, reminding us that it is through doing, through daring to create and experience, that knowledge transforms into wisdom.
Today’s energy encourages us to open our minds, like the bird that soars to gain a broader view of things. Ju’lajuj Tz’ikin reminds us of the richness that comes from questioning, reflecting, and not taking things for granted. Embracing all possibilities helps us remember that our view of reality isn’t the same as everyone else’s, nor do we hold the ultimate truth. There are countless perspectives that can nourish and inspire us.
Our spirit has chosen our physical body as the perfect temple to fulfill our life’s purpose. As we move through this plane, our body is the sacred space that allows us to explore the world, connect with existence, and helps us reach the consciousness, awakening, and expansion we are here to experience.
