Tz’i Glyph: This glyph signifies the staff used by indigenous authorities, as well as a dog’s tail. It is spiritual law that cannot be bought or sold. –Carlos Barrios
Tz’i represents spiritual authorities and the straight path. It is justice and the day that brings the truth to light. Tz’i is a day to be at peace and to correct our mistakes, desires and sexual behaviors.
It is a day to avoid Wuqub’ Q'ak’ix (the Seven Sins – pride, ambition, envy, lies, crime, ingratitude, and ignorance) and to be balanced in every spiritual and material sense. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Tz’i – nawal of discipline, loyalty, and integrity, interacts with Power 11’s rearranging and changing currents today. As the loyal guide of balance and justice, Tz’i brings us into contact with our inner conscience, aligning us with Divine and Natural Law through right relationship with life. 11 stirs flux, variables, and adjustments along this path, marking 11 Tz’i as a day to remain whole and faithful to truth and inner conviction while gracefully adapting to shifting circumstances.
As a point of adjustment and reset within the battlegrounds of the Ajpu Trecena, 11 Tz’i tests inner knowing, word, and action. It speaks of sustaining ethics, values, and principles within the rhythms of change and pressure. Adaptive integrity is walking through the restless field and turns of 11, staying aligned and flexible as emerging realities and unexpected tests unfold. It may ask us to take responsibility for what has fallen out of alignment and to trust that changes and shifts are serving this process.
With 11’s separating, sorting, and dispersing movements, motives can move in many directions today. Tz’i teaches us to listen for conscience in real time, updating decisions, behavior, and form while remaining loyal to core values. This may invite brave flexibility: instead of clinging to old rules, the day calls us to notice what is immediate and alive, asking “What is right relationship in this moving moment?” Renegotiating boundaries or structures without abandoning loyalty to self or others may be a clear theme of this day.
11 Tz’i supports us in navigating from rigid morality to living ethics, where right relationship is carried like a torch through shifting terrain. Touched by Ajpu’s realm of light and shadow, this day’s tests of balance expose where integrity and the contracts we forge with life can loosen into self‑betrayal or harden into old identities that no longer fit. This convergence moves like a steady compass beneath the turbulence, reminding us that victory is not perfection but the willingness to correct our course again and again. In this way, breath by breath and choice by choice, loyalty and integrity become adaptive and alive—a consistent act of alignment as we walk between lower impulse and higher aim on the sacred road.

The Dog is a master of social cohesion and sensory awareness. By sensing subtle environmental shifts long before others, it responds with a steady, reliable presence. Unlike solitary hunters, the Dog succeeds through collaborative vigilance, teaching the practical value of being a protective anchor for their people. It invites clear-eyed focus on their commitments, ensuring that their actions are always aligned with the safety and stability of their “pack.”
As a totem, the Dog signifies integrity and reliability. It teaches that true power is found in the “scent” of truth and the courage to defend one’s principles. This spirit serves as a guide for the counselor or friend, emphasizing the utility of consistent loyalty. By honoring one’s word and staying alert to the needs of the collective, one becomes a trusted navigator through even the most uncertain territory.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
11 Tz’i The energy of the nawal Tz’i is also known for its impulsive nature, particularly when it comes to matters of a more sensual nature. When this energy is combined with the equally impulsive energy of the number 11, desires and urges may be very difficult to control.
As the nawal Tz’i is also the nawal which represents our guidance, the combination with the number 11 could suggest that there may be a strong and undeniable feeling of being guided towards something. It will be important to really apply some perspective to this guidance.
The strength of the drive may be irresistible, however is it really in your long term interests? This may very well be THE day of temptations. –Mark Elmy
11 Tz’i The energetic confluence of this day speaks of the importance of respecting each person, observing without judgment, knowing that each of us is walking the path that leads to connecting with our own power and divinity, and that this path doesn’t have to be the same for everyone.
When we realize that, regardless of the path we choose to follow, there will always be moments of joy and times of deeper learning, we understand that the wisest choice is to walk the path that brings us happiness, the one where we remain true to our essence.
As we walk this path of personal fulfillment, we find it easier to connect with the love that allows us to honor each person’s power and individuality, to embrace different ways of thinking and acting, because we know that our truth is not absolute and that there is divinity in the unique way each person chooses to see and live their life. –Denise Barrios
