The creative potential of B’atz merges with the highly charged, but meandering energy of 11. The limitless potential of the nawal Imox is reflected within the capacity to create of the nawal B’atz. -Mark Elmy

B’atz Glyph: The top part of the glyph is a cone that has time rolled up in it. The cone descends to a triangle, which represents our dimension, and then to the sphere of the Earth, passing through the angles, which are the two polarities; masculine and feminine. –Carlos Barrios
B’atz days are good to put things in order or to start planning a project. It is the day that protects artists and an auspicious day to ask for good crops. It is a good day to solve family problems. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
B’atz’, the nawal of beginnings, artistry, and connection, intertwines with the rearranging force of Power 11 today. Within the visionary theme of Imox, the problem-solving spirit of B’atz is powered by 11’s energy of separation and adjustment, inviting us to dissolve boundaries through rare and original ideas. This marks a potent day to think and create outside the box.
B’atz embodies the umbilical cord, linking us to the womb of creation, while 11 brings dynamic change. As the Imox Trecena nurtures pure potential in the womb of the unconscious, 11 B’atz signals the emergence of a new thread into tangible form. For those who thrive in creative realms, this combination sparks versatility, encouraging curious exploration across diverse ideas, insights, and mediums.
Yet, the reorganizing power of 11 B’atz may also stir impatience and challenges, revealing knots of disorder that beckon to be untangled. It aids in clearing complications that block the creative surge Imox seeks to materialize. As B’atz governs love and family bonds, these tests may arise close to home.
Paired with B’atz, 11 infuses the day with an active, multitasking energy. It can unite diverse concepts and activities, weaving them into a cohesive system for future growth and utility. This convergence supports us in navigating a multitude of possibilities.
Today’s energy invites us to embrace versatility and innovation, while remaining open to the playful, mischievous spirit of the Monkey. As Imox’s wild currents carry us toward completion, we’re reminded to stay fluid–shaping our thoughts and presence with the teachings of this day. Patience with obstacles may reveal deeper insights and strengthen our mental resilience. In moments of pressure, hidden powers are most likely to emerge.

Monkey teaches you how to find joy in exploration, all while keeping things fun! Like humans, Monkeys are communal Animals, enjoying the company of others while navigating through life.
On a more serious note, Monkeys develop profound bonds and have great compassion for their fellows. They communicate and interact with one another.
One of Monkey’s lessons is that your time on earth touches many other people. There is no reason to be a figurative island. Monkey says, “Reach out to your troop and hold them dear.” In a tight situation, Monkeys symbolize creative problem-solving. –Bernadette King
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
11 B’atz It is a day to create, especially within the fields of the arts. It is also a day to weave your reality the way you see fit.
Where Aq’ab’al was the conception, B’atz is the gestation. Now is the time to incorporate what you wish into the pattern before it is birthed. Whether it is a physical creation that you are weaving, performance of some kind or even a seemingly mundane presentation, the energy of B’atz brings a sparkle of creativity that helps you to shine. It brings a confidence in your work and in your delivery of your words.
However, you may find that your creative passion gets the better of you, and it may be difficult to stick to tasks assigned to you without getting side-tracked.
If you have the latitude to create freely, this can be a very productive day. If you have a schedule to follow, you might find yourself testing its boundaries.–Mark Elmy
11 B’atz We live in a system that keeps pushing us to rush and to chase a kind of success bound to excessive productivity. Sometimes we carry this deeply rooted idea into our healing too, trying to “do it all” as if there, too, we had goals to meet. But today, the energetic convergence reminds us that life is not a race.
Of course we want to move forward, but there is no need to do it in a rush. It is not about doing every practice or performing rituals every day if that becomes just another demand.
It is about moving step by step and being present in what we do. It is about letting our life and our time become our ritual.
The energies today remind us that sometimes less is more. We do not need to fill each day with endless practices to reach our purpose, to heal, or to grow. It is also about knowing when to pause, acting with awareness, and letting go of what no longer nourishes us. –Denise Barrios
