The strong and social energy of the number 10 combines with Aj, the nawal of authority and social leadership. Aj is seen as a beneficial nawal. Whilst it is a leader, it has passed the stages of control and manipulation.–Mark Elmy

Aj Glyph: The vertical lines or stalks at the top of the glyph that come only partway down signify spiritual growth. The horizontal line, symbolizing multiplication and the horizon, is an altar table, and the sacred trees, such as the ceiba and coral tree, with their roots, trunk, and canopy, also represent a table or altar. –Carlos Barrios
Aj: Aj symbolizes the pillars of inner strength, it is the channel that connects us to the cosmos and the earth, which unites us with everything so that we flow in sync with life. It is our spine, the structures of our body, of our home, it is the energetic foundations that sustain the essence of everything, that sustain creation and our reality. – Denise Barrios
Aj cultivates the knowledge of human nature gained through joint, community work. It personifies integrity, honesty, and rectitude. It has the characteristics of cosmic expansion. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Today, the nawal and number representing leadership blend harmoniously, embodying a golden symbol of the community's pillar. This day shines as the honorable day of the chief, with their instrument of power amplified for positive social impact and meaningful results.
Aj, symbolized by the cane, cornstalk, or reed, represents the staff of divine power's virtues. It exudes a vibration of achievement, marked by the blessing of agreements moving forward, guidance, and strengthened social bonds in the act of developing productive unity and positive transformation.
The combination of 10 Aj signifies the convergence of intentions and efforts. Both Aj and K'at are symbols of harvest and multiplication. Within the Trecena of K'at, this beneficial energy can also indicate a time of liberation from constraints and traps, facilitated by great leadership and cooperation. These energies culminate in divine transformation.
Building on the virtues of yesterday's 9 E', which signified a new path navigated by the heart, today's progression reinforces this journey with strong, compassionate support and sustenance within social structures.
This is an auspicious day to be a pillar of light, offering and requesting support for those struggling in any area of their life. As we move through the higher, spiritual progression of the K'at Trecena, this day has the capacity to lead us to its promise of liberation and abundance.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides
10 Aj Aj is wise and noble, it is gentle and respected, primarily for the benefits it brings to the community. It represents the harmony within the home. This comes through the strength that Aj has, through its connections with the Heart of the Sky and the Heart of the Earth.
It brings courage to do the right thing for the good of all, even when that may be a difficult decision. Today we see the energy of nawal Aj combined with the energy of the number 10, representing society and community. It can be seen as the fingers of two sets of hands joining together.
The day 10 Aj is a day to remember that your actions shape the community that you live within. Today is about actively being a member of the community you wish to create, to offer your hand or your assistance where it is required.
As a result, this will bring benefits all around, to everyone involved. It brings harmony into your home and community. However, it is also a great day to petition for help from those around you.–Mark Elmy
10 Aj Aj is related to sacred spaces, it is the Tab’al or altar and it is also our home as a sacred space and our body as the sanctuary in which our spirit dwells.
Today Aj converges with Lajuj, who contains within it a great force that when activated provides us with the drive and strength we need to achieve things. The union of these two energies helps us to let go of our insecurities, of everything that stagnates us, in order to move forward.
Today the energies speak to us of the importance of being aware of what we nourish our inner space with, they remind us that the energy we generate, in which we vibrate, has an effect on others and our environment, but above all, within our being which is where it manifests. –Denise Barrios
Armadillo symbolism encompasses many rich layers of meaning. This unique animal reminds us to connect with the earth, protect our inner self, and adapt to challenges without losing our essence.
The armadillo meaning also relates to establishing healthy boundaries, feeling secure in our own “skin,” and exploring life’s mysteries. Like a spirit guide, the armadillo urges us to root down while remaining flexible, illustrating its connection to the earth.
The armadillo spirit animal is also strongly connected with healing and renewal. Its natural armor reminds us that we should never forget the comforting protection of our spirit.
It encourages us to stay open and filled with love, despite any fear or anxiety about the future. –Richard Blanton

Wow what a day for this nahual. Can you forward this to Trump who is being inaugurated today? But in all seriousness, made me think of our next four heated with him as leader.
