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.

EQUINOX: 8 Imox, Maya Day Sign (Nawal)

Nawal ImoxFor most of the ancient people the cosmic events represented a very important moment and were a time of great celebration. Nowadays these events are no longer relevant, even though they influence our lives. For the Maya people both the Equinoxes and the Solstices mark the beginning of a new cosmic-telluric cycle. This September 23 the Equinox indicates that there is a balance in the energies, which affects us up until December 20.
The energy of this Equinox is influenced by 8 Imox; Imox is the essence of our consciousness and of our mind, number 8 represents the physical and material energies. This day opens up a space to activate our internal power, to develop our vision and intuition; it is the moment to prepare our awareness to find balance between the material and the spiritual.
