Sometimes it’s not personal, it’s the greater whole that has become unbalanced, creating a general malaise in society. The day 10 Tijax allows coming together to work on the solution to this. –Mark Elmy

Tijax is the day sign of the Obsidian, an extremely sharp natural glass formed by volcanic activity that among the Maya is most prized by diviners and warriors. Like obsidian, Tijax is sharp yet fragile, difficult to polish and manipulate, and cuts to the core of things with all the force of integrity. It cuts not only through deception, evil, and negative energies, but also physical illness. For this reason it is an auspicious sign for healers (curanderos), surgeons and doctors, for all matters of health and wellness, medicine and curing of disease. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Today, the nawal of cutting, separation, and purification meets the negotiating Power 10. This day may drive us on a determined quest to prune excess and falsehoods from the contracts we forge with others and life itself. The sharp, agile forces of Tijax make careful incisions into themes of energetic exchange, attested by the reciprocal energy of the Toj Trecena.
Representing cooperation, Power 10 guides us toward impeccability, fulfillment and satisfaction. The obsidian blade of Tijax points to areas where discerning cuts are needed in our quest for simplicity and wholeness, even if it's tedious or temporarily painful. It highlights that when overcomplexity arises in our communications, imbalances are likely present and require attention.
As a day sign of the strong and brave, Tijax helps us tap into the strength and power of the Holy Warrior, guiding drastic changes based on truth. 10 Tijax invites us to focus our refinements and editing on legalities, agreements, and collaborations. Within the Toj Trecena, we're guided to make defining cuts based on principles of values, morality, and equilibrium—fairness with ourselves and others.
10 Tijax may manifest as purifying interventions addressing aspects of our identities ready to be released, cutting through confusion or deception, whether self-imposed or imposed by others. This day's energy guides us into understanding imbalances to rectify matters and ultimately liberate ourselves into new dimensions of mental and physical possibilities.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
10 Tijax As we continue to journey through the Toj trecena, the theme of service to the greater whole is often reinforced.
Here is another day which fits into the theme of “being part of creating a better world around us”. This time it is through being part of bringing healing into our community.
Toj represents payment, and when debts are forgotten, sickness can arise. This sickness can be resolved through making a payment, either physically or through service.
However, it may also serve to create greater cohesion and harmony within your community to go through the process together. This is an auspicious day to create a healing circle of friends and neighbors to bring peace and unity into your part of the world, and the greater area.–Mark Elmy
10 Tijax Let us be grateful for the place and circumstances in which we find ourselves now. Let us give thanks for the opportunities that life offers us every day to grow in fullness. Let us release everything that no longer serves us, the past experiences that stagnate our evolution.
Let us remember that even when there is a possibility that things may not turn out exactly as we imagine them, if we do not take a step forward to achieve our desires, we do not open ourselves to the possibility of them becoming a reality.
Let us open our paths today with the power of Tijax and allow the force of the number Lajuj to drive us in our journey. –Denise Barrios
Toucan Spirit Animal:
“Inspires Beauty”, “Embodies Confidence”, “Communication True to Self”
When you feel your confidence waning, you could not ask for a better Power Animal than the Toucan. Reach down into the depth of your spirit and take counsel. The Toucan inspires a commanding presence.
You will sometimes see the Toucan carved into Native American totem poles. As an Animal Helper, Toucan represents effective communication and personal flair. Because of the bird’s colorful beak, it symbolizes wanting people to hear you not just see you. –Bernadette King
What aspects of my agreements with others require pruning to enhance efficiency and equilibrium? What brave cut can I make today to bring accuracy and truth to a situation?
