The Cholq’ij Calendar is a powerful tool for revealing natural cycles that relate to humans. By understanding the Nawal and number (energy) of each day, we are able to harmonize our lives and activities with the natural rhythm and order, advancing our personal and collective development. This tool requires more than an intellectual understanding; we realize it’s potential in our lives as we work with the energies on a daily basis.

Thanks to Denise Barrios, we are able to make this information more accessible by publishing the Nawal and number for each day, as well as an explanation for it’s meaning. This information is also being pushed out via social media.

7 Kame – Today’s Maya Day Sign (Ch’umil)

Nawal KemeKame has the power of our ancestors; it represents our mission and actions before the Creator and Maker, who has all the knowledge. Number 7 projects intuition, analysis and introspection. The ancient traditions that have managed to survive are those that honored their ancestors and learned from their teachings and their wisdom. This is the time for us to develop our knowledge and understand our transcendence in life, understand that we are leaving a legacy for future generations. Your contribution to the community is very valuable.

6 Kan – Today’s Maya Day Sign (Ch’umil)

Nawal KanKan symbolizes the strength of the Universe, the power and force of the serpent; however, today it converges with number 6 that represents imbalances that may affect us in the physical world. Watch your level of energy, for this day may bring energetic highs and lows. Ask Kan to balance your energy, and connect to Ajpu, the Ch’umil that rules over this trecena (thirteen days), to obtain the strength of the spiritual warrior.

5 K’at – Today’s Maya Day Sign (Ch’umil)

Nawal K'atK’at symbolizes the net that can be thrown into the water to fish or that can be used to entangle our own selves; it means that everyone shapes their own thoughts either in a positive or in a negative way. Number 5 is an energy that allows you to achieve anything you set your mind to. On this day you can catch all your dreams if you believe it, if you use your thoughts to attract and trap positive things.

4 Tijax – Today’s Maya Day Sign (Ch’umil)

Nawal TijaxTijax has the power of opening new doors and clearing your path; today its energy converges with number 4, which represents balance and connects you to the four corners of the Universe and the four elements ―wind, water, earth and fire―. This is a good day to light a red, white, black and yellow candle and ask the energies of the four corners and the four elements to clear all your paths and open new doors for you.
