Aj symbolizes the return to our home, to our place of origin, to the Tab’al or sacred Maya altar, to the place where higher energies converge and manifest. Number 13 contains strength and wisdom; it is a number that has gained the experience. This is a good day to work on your body, to gather energy and regain you inner strength; a day to respect your body, which is the physical home and altar of your spirit, remember that your soul has chosen the perfect altar to fulfill its life purpose.

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.
12 E
11 B’atz’
Number 11 stands for the cycles of life; it is the energy of learning through experience. B’atz’ is the thread of destiny; anything that has occurred to us in the past, anything that is happening now, and everything that will occur in our future. Make each moment count; understand that time passes at the perfect speed, whatever you wish to accomplish in life comes at the right moment… be patient, but take action.
10 Tz’i’
The energy of Tz’i’ relates to the written word, especially to sacred writings; it is the symbol of the great scribes. Number 10 symbolizes the ten cosmic energies connected to the fingers of the hands and the ten telluric energies connected to the toes. Today your creative side can receive the cosmic and telluric energies that can be transformed into written words.
9 Toj
The energy of Toj is expressed through cause and effect, action and reaction; it is the day to repay Mother Earth and the Creator and Maker for what we have done, for what we are, and what we have received. Number 9 is a good energy to ask for forgiveness; to act with compassion. This is a good day to light a red candle to ask the Creator and Maker to help you understand the results your past actions have brought you; to ask that your future actions will be guided by His light and will help you create the destiny you wish to have.
8 Q’anil
Q’anil means germ, seed, life and creation; in this day B’itol and Tz’aqol ―the Creator and the Maker― sowed the seeds of life in this part of the universe. Number 8 represents the complete energies of the material world. 8 Q’anil brings with it the energy of creation. Today you can ask the Creator and the Maker for a good planting and a good harvest; for the protection of the crops, and for the recovery of sterile ground.
7 Kej
Kej is the energy that protects the natural world and it is called to maintain balance between humans and Mother Earth; today its energy converges with number 7 which projects balance and harmony. Seek the stability you yearn for in nature, in the energy of the trees. If you have a chance take a walk in the woods; meditate to connect with the ancestral wisdom they hold, this is the perfect day to understand Mother Nature’s teachings.
6 Kame
Kame is the energy of our spiritual and family lineage; it symbolizes death and communication with our ancestors. Number 6 entails learning, changes and responsibility. This is a good day to do away with bad death, accidents, and illnesses; a day to ask for protection for travels, for the safety of our communities and that there may be no wars. Light a purple candle to ask the Creator and the Maker to drive away the bad energies.
5 Kan
Kan is the serpent of fire whose energy resides at the base of the spinal column; it is a special day to increase the physical force, to build the internal fire and spiritual evolution. Number 5 is the energy of action. Today you need to keep your energy moving, give your best to everything you do; Kan grants you the energy go further.
