Embracing all possibilities helps us remember that our view of reality isn’t the same as everyone else’s, nor do we hold the ultimate truth. There are countless perspectives that can nourish and inspire us. –Denise Barrios

Tz’ikin is the intermediary between God and man. It is the intermediary between Mother Tz’aqol, Father B’itol, and human beings. It is the intermediation between Ajaw, the Great Father, and human beings, represented by everything that exists in space: air, clouds, cold, and heat–powers that Heart of Sky created to help us. It represents the sacred vision.
Tz’ikin means bird, the guardian of all Mayan lands. It is the maq’uq’, or quetzal, the first bird to sing when the Sun and all the animals appeared. It is liberty, the messenger, treasure, luck, and money. It also means fortune.
It is a special day on which to dedicate the Xukulem Chuwach Ri Qajaw–the Mayan ceremony to ask for good luck. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Today’s sky messenger, Tz’ikin—the nawal of love, vision, and foresight—meets the organizing, multiplying force of Power 11. Pulling us to soar beyond limits, Tz’ikin heightens our growth potential with its subtle guidance and uplifting call to freedom. 11's separating and sorting effects guides this liberation through efforts to bring order and clarity to what requires focused attention. 11 Tz’ikin calls for gathering insights, plans, and strategies into a clear path toward personal and communal success, awakening heart-felt liberation.
As the Kan Trecena’s serpentine journey nears its peak, Tz’ikin’s wings lift grounded strength and wisdom into sky-born realms of spiritual insight. Today, these energies draw perspective upward, offering a panoramic view where strategies and connections take shape with expanded vision. Concentration and foresight stretch our practical efforts toward higher meaning today, infusing our aims with clarified purpose as movement ascends from earth toward sky.
Known as the nawal of dreams and communication, Tz’ikin offers a bird’s-eye view of both waking and dream worlds, sending signs and higher visions that guide our direction. On Tz’ikin days, it’s wise to pay attention to messages in dreams, synchronicities, and even in conversation—reminding us that key insights may arrive through dialogue as well as abstract symbols. 11’s wandering, adjusting essence invites us to explore new spaces, where spiritual wisdom and clarity can emerge in both subtle messages and practical exchanges.
Honed by focus, Tz’ikin reveals opportunities while 11 demands clarity through order and the occasional test. Though distraction may arise today, this day urges connection with what truly matters—love, purpose, and what we have to share. Today’s liberated yet orderly spirit especially supports those who can organize and project their vision for the good of all, inspiring solutions from receptivity matched with focused intent. True transformation, as Kan teaches, lies in channeling our highest vision into organized action—evolving not just ourselves, but the whole web of life to which we belong.

Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
11 Tz’ikin The vision given by the nawal Tz’ikin may be extremely strong today, but the high number 11 may lead to a lack of focus.
This is a day to see the bigger picture in life. “All that glitters is not gold,” but today the energy of Tz’ikin lead you to being be caught by many “shiny” distractions. These distractions may be new ideas, especially ones which lead to prosperity.
Even if they are not of instant interest, they may be something to come back to later on, after all Tz’ikin is a visionary.
As Tz’ikin is known for its vocal ability, this can give rise to a great deal of chatter. You may find something truly valuable within seemingly light conversation. Once again, the energy of the day suggests that today might be a very interesting day to meet new people. They may become an important part of life further on in time.–Mark Elmy
11 Tz’ikin Today’s energy encourages us to open our minds, like the bird that soars to gain a broader view of things.
Ju’lajuj Tz’ikin reminds us of the richness that comes from questioning, reflecting, and not taking things for granted. Let us give ourselves the space to grow by looking beyond what is obvious.
Instead of making assumptions, let us stay open and receptive to different viewpoints. By broadening our perspective, we can deepen our understanding and see what might not be immediately visible.–Denise Barrios
