Toj Glyph: The glyph represents a wheel and its axis. It represents Grandfather Sun and his strength. It is a circle, symbolizing the law of cause and effect. –Carlos Barrios
Toj: A sign of harmony, balance, and equilibrium, Toj embodies not only the power, freedom and inner peace that these states of grace carry, but also all the struggles and challenges we go through to achieve and maintain them in our lives.
It is, in a word, the sign of karma, the sign of payment and the energy of the law of action and reaction that the concept of karma carries. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Toj, the nawal of causality and the sacred fire, is ignited today by the lawful, balancing nature of Power 10. Toj symbolizes the flame of reciprocity that sustains harmony and well-being, nourishing our exchanges with others, with life, and with the Creator. The integrity of 10 brings conviction and fulfillment to these interactions. Together, 10 Toj amplifies the laws of cause and effect, ensuring justice in all negotiations and agreements.
Within the heroic journey of the Ajpu Trecena, 10 spotlights the leadership and awareness we’ve cultivated, along with the satisfaction gained from courageously expressing our talents in facing challenges. Conversely, it may reveal where ego has eclipsed our ability to maintain healthy exchanges—where self-interest has prevailed or where we’ve given too much, neglecting our own needs and draining our energy.
This day intensifies the consequences of balance or imbalance, shaped by the choices and agreements we’ve made, both consciously and unconsciously. It reflects the emotional, physical, or mental costs—or rewards—of where we’ve focused our inner fire. With the energy of 10, Toj’s causality is especially evident in our relationships. 10 Toj highlights debts, costs, and the opportunity to speak up or act in acknowledgment of what is owed.
Ultimately, this day calls for restoring balance where needed or, alternatively, may bring rewards and the clearing of obstacles in recognition of our efforts and achievements. Representing the Sun, Toj invites us to shine the light of conscious awareness on our collaborations and practical endeavors.
All Toj days are auspicious for offering gratitude and honoring the blessings we’ve received. When approached with the intent of balance, 10 Toj enhances communication, vitality, and light among collaborators, commitments, and cooperative efforts toward shared goals.

Shark Spirit Animal:
Sharks are said to have a sixth sense. They have the ability to detect electromagnetic fields thanks to some of their sensory organs. These organs help them to locate their prey in the ocean. Sharks can also smell blood, albeit in minute quantities and at a distance of over a kilometer.
Sharks' sixth sense is why this totem represents intelligence and instinct. The energy of this spirit animal takes over your life when you're hesitant. It pushes you to take action and bring your intentions to life. The shark also supports you in saying what needs to be said and doing what needs to be done.
With this spirit guide in your life, you'll become more curious and observant. The shark encourages you to sharpen your mind and use it to your advantage. Shark helps you think through the best strategy to achieve your goals. They're extremely cool-headed, and very good at tactics and strategy. He never refuses a confrontation. –fauna-protect.com
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
10 Toj
This is a day of service to your community.It is the payment that you make to keep your place in harmony, to keep your place in balance, which in turn keeps you nourished and healthy.
Today is a day to show that we care for those around us, to give freely of our time and energy in gratitude to the community that sustains us. In turn this burns away any debts we have in this realm or another. –Mark Elmy
10 Toj
The sacred fire ignites and guides our growth throughout this day.Today, we are connected to the healing power of the fire. The energy of this Wise Grandfather helps us transmute different states, keeping us from getting stuck or attached to certain ways of living, and opening us to fully experience the richness of our existence.
The trecena of Ajpu reminds us that, on our journey through this reality, life gives us all the experiences, conditions, and people we need to find the light. However, the path to enlightenment and the development of our being is something we must undertake ourselves. –Denise Barrios
