Today your home, the children, the plants and animals enjoy the protection of Aj, which also brings a resplendent and wonderful day in every sense of the word. Aj symbolizes renewal; during this trecena (thirteen days) you can connect to its energy whenever you need to feel renewed.

Prayer from Don Pedro Ixchop

I ask you Ajaw that during this sacred day there will only be harmony in your presence. I ask you that there will only be endless harmony and gentleness over the face of Mother Earth. That there will only be endless love in me before your presence Ajaw, Heart of the Sky and Heart of Mother Earth. Only in you, Ajaw, I find true hope and love, because you are my hope, my gentleness, my clarity, my perennial sweetness, the love that penetrates my mind. I ask that your gentleness and hope will manifest in my heart, in my whole body, because I can feel your true love for this body, because you are the universal gentleness over the face of Mother Earth. I ask that all your children may experience love, because you are the path of hope, of peace and love. I ask that all your children will have faith in one another. I ask that there will be faith in myself, in my home, in my family. I ask that the feeling of mistrust will be dispelled forever in your presence Ajaw, Heart of the Sky and Heart of Mother Earth. I ask you that when I speak your word it will bring sweetness to all your creatures, to the communities, to all who listen when I speak in the paths of your mission Ajaw, Heart of the Sky and Heart of Mother Earth. You are the one who brings the sweetness to the words for the ears of those who listen; you are the one who gives the wisdom to those who listen to your word Ajaw. I ask you that your sweet words will manifest in the hearts of my children forever and that they will bring them wisdom. Maltiox, Maltiox, Maltiox and four times Maltiox.

Ajaw Great Father or Supreme Being
Maltiox Thank you

E represents all the paths we take in life. Number 13 gives you experience, strength and knowledge. With every step you take you are constructing your destiny, go forward steadily and with conviction, for the decisions you make today will bring you realization and future rewards. This is an excellent day to get in touch with your loved ones, especially those who live far away.

Number 12 projects creativity and dreams. B’atz’ is the protector of the artists; it is the Ch’umil that inspires you and through which your creative abilities flow. This is a good day to ask for inspiration, to develop your capacity to dream and for the protection of the artists.

Tz’i’ emanates the energies of the Cosmic Authorities and Terrestrial Law. Number 11 represents the test in life that we must transmute to knowledge. Today you must be careful of not becoming involved in legal problems. Connect to the energy of Tz’i’ and ask for its protection.

Number 10 represents energetic highs and lows, however today it converges with Toj which brings the energy of the Sacred Ceremonial Fire, that gives you the power to overcome any adversity, for it is the flame that can light the darkest path and that gives you strength and guide. Light a candle to connect to the power of Toj.

Q’anil symbolizes fertility; it is the day of the seeds and the semen, of our reproductive organs, of life and creation. Number 9 reflects the feminine energy; it is an auspicious day for women. Light a white candle to ask the energy of this day for the protection of pregnant women, for the strength of the babies in their womb and for the women who are trying to get pregnant.

Kej is the energy that protects the natural world; it is the deer that stands firmly in its four legs, thus it represents balance. Number 8 is filled with physical energy and it is auspicious for men. Today stand firmly on the ground and allow its power to recharge you; raise your arms to the sky to absorb the cosmic energies.

Kame 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.

Kan 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.

K’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.
