Today’s energy suggests that we look for the positive elements of our community. By extending our love and friendship into our communities, we have the possibility to create something greater than the sum of its parts and more divine than we can create alone. –Mark Elmy

Ajpu Glyph: This glyph signifies the face of the hunter who uses a blowgun. He has a beard, and his mouth is rounded, about to shoot. –Carlos Barrios
Ajpu is overcoming negative energy. It is the victor, the male, the man, the boss, the spiritual warrior, the hunter, Jun Ajpu, and Ixb’alamke. It is the day of Ajaw, the Great Father, and his solar representation, a day of greatness and the strength of life.
Ajpu governs lunar and solar eclipses and represents the [mythological] ball game. It brings material and spiritual certainty. It is the realization of the solar body. It is transformation, mutation, and acuity. It is the warrior, the companion, the traveler, the dancer, and the artist, maker of wonders.
It is the soothsayer – the diviner and vanquisher of spells – the lord of flowers, master and heir to the power of light. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
On this 10th day of the Trecena of B’atz, Ajpu brings the brilliance and strength of the Sun into our lives as we engage in the contracts with ourselves and our communities. Ajpu embodies leadership and valor, guiding us to transform darkness into the light of certainty and courage. The number 10 reflects qualities of leadership, law, authority, and collaboration, highlighting a time for offering support or seeking assistance to illuminate our paths.
As we weave a new tapestry of existence during this Trecena of B’atz, we can harness the illumination gathered from our collective threads to unify our knowledge, perspectives, and ideas, creating a symphony of clarity and light. This foundation sets the stage for the evolutionary potential that B’atz offers throughout this cycle.
Ajpu’s dual nature governs both the Sun and eclipses, metaphorically presenting potentials for ego-driven ambitions and competition. While this radiant energy can illuminate the darker aspects of our lives, it may also blind us if we allow pride to overshadow our collaborative intentions. It’s crucial to remain mindful of these pitfalls and navigate our egos with care.
Practically, Ajpu teaches us the importance of setting goals and focusing on our objectives, enhancing our capacity to achieve them through physical, mental and spiritual strength, emphasizing the virtues of the spiritual warrior.
The influence of 10 Ajpu within the Trecena of B’atz empowers us to develop our collaborative and creative endeavors with precision, cultivate our leadership skills with versatility, and confront relational challenges with courage and mastery.
This day encourages us to build confident self-esteem by facing challenges, overcoming obstacles, and contributing to our field with a genuine spirit of collaboration. In doing so, we weave a harmonious narrative of renewed tones and vibrant colors of collective unity.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
10 Ajpu The nawal Ajpu encourages us to search for the holy and the number 10 represents society. Whilst we may see problems within our communities, the energy of Ajpu helps us look for the good side today.
It is easy to focus on problems. They tend to be the things which cause immediate discomfort and so attract the most attention. They sometimes draw our focus so much that we lose sight of the original reasons for joining a community. Our dreams were of being at peace with our neighbors, and of acting in unity to create a more prosperous environment for future generations.
The nawal Ajpu can represent the search for divinity, the highest form of good. However, this search can begin just by remembering to see the everyday good in what is around us.–Mark Elmy
10 Ajpu Ajpu is the representative of the sun, it is the wisdom that arises with each of its phases, it is light and strength.
“10 Ajpu rehearsed the underworld for the first time.” -Chilam B’alam from Chumayel, Yucatec Maya text.
In the chain of creation, its energy is what sustains the evolution of each being during the different cycles of its existence.
Ajpu is referred to as the spiritual warrior, this however, does not speak to us of conflict, but of that being who brings light, who illuminates through the wisdom and consciousness developed on the path of life.
Ajpu is the light that we all carry within, that radiant sun in cloudy moments, it is the clarity and strength that we have as that sun that each of us is. –Denise Barrios
In what ways can I transmute my past struggles into opportunities for creativity and collaboration? How can I harness the light of my inner-sun to set clear goals that reflect both my personal aspirations and the well-being of my community?
