Ajmaq Glyph: The glyph signifies the mind in a state of forgiveness and illumination. It is a brain with rays, lines of expansion, reaching out in all directions. –Carlos Barrios
Ajmaq holds the energy of reconciliation, it is the non-judgement neither of others nor of ourselves, for the teaching it offers us is one of connection and harmonization with our inner self and with what surrounds us. It is self-discovery, returning to our interior to find the wisdom that inhabits us. It is reaching enlightenment. –Denise Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Today, Ajmaq—the nawal of introspection, the gentle path of forgiveness, and ancestral support—ascends and crosses the psycho-spiritual realms unlocked by Power 13. Ajmaq channels the power of the word, softens discord, and guides the journey from separation to harmony, cleansing the auric field and inviting peace within and without. The transformative energy of 13 brings realization, completion, and renewal to the mind and spirit, culminating in 13 Ajmaq—a day dedicated to reconciliation, release, and movement toward clarity and harmony.
As the crowning culmination of the accumulative and liberating webs woven throughout the K’at Trecena, 13 Ajmaq beckons a clearer perception and integration of both the light and shadow we carry. This day invites reflection on ancestral gifts and genetic burdens, illuminating what is ready to be understood and released—an opportunity for reconciliation, sweet absolution, and inner wholeness. As the energies of 13 and Ajmaq entwine in the whispers of Great Spirit and ancestral realms, this day calls us to nurture faith, offer prayers, and seek forgiveness—feeding and nourishing the subtle fields of spirit.
In the classic Maya tradition, Ajmaq is a sacred day to remember the Heart of Heaven and Heart of Earth, honoring the Creator and Former as the true source of all. It is a time to seek and correct our distortions, nurturing peace and harmony through faith in the cosmic Father and Mother who balance and sustain all life. United with the energy of 13, this day suggests that our words, intentions, and movements may carry theurgic, magical force—manifesting profound changes in perception and guiding us to walk with greater lightness and freedom.
As the K’at Trecena’s final teachings unfold, this day beckons us to slow down—like the bee’s patient making of honey—reminding that gentle awareness and mindful observation best serve life and spirit’s rhythm. Ajmaq’s introspective essence, harmonized with 13’s transformative power, teaches that meditation is not withdrawal, but a journey of deep observation and slow self-understanding. Through this patience, we attune to quiet spiritual guidance, learning both when to act and when to simply receive; recognizing that wisdom lies in discerning what to welcome and what to release, with grace, moment by moment.

In many spiritual traditions, the bee is considered a messenger between our world and the afterlife. When you see a bee, it may be a sign that the universe is trying to send you a message. It may be time to pay attention to the signals from your environment and your intuition.
Just as the bees in their hive respect their queen and those around them, you’ll want to live peacefully and without conflict. The bee can also help you find the right path to peace. The bee’s totemic spirit tells you that in life, respect, wisdom and sharing also bring abundance, harmony and wealth.
Admired for the fruits of its labor, the bee is probably the most tenacious and methodical spirit animal in existence. They are small in size, but indispensable for pollination. They play an important role on earth and for people and their environment.
Linked to its symbolism of productivity, the bee can also encourage you to focus on self-improvement, working on your weaknesses and harnessing your strengths to heal, grow and evolve. If you’re going through a difficult time, the bee reminds you of the importance of taking care of yourself, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually.–fauna-protect.com
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
13 Ajmaq This is a very powerful day of redemption both from, and of, the ancestors. This can relate not only to the living ancestors, but those in the spirit world.
Sometimes the karma we carry is not only our own, it is that of our society. It is an energy which persists through generations, patterns which are passed through families long after the initial event.
This creates something that we ourselves are so far removed from, we may not even realize that we are carrying it. The day 13 Ajmaq gives us an opportunity for absolution, not only for ourselves but for our ancestral past.
This day has the potential for some of the greatest acts of forgiveness, but it also has the potential for some almighty mistakes to be made. It is certainly a day to exercise caution in your decision making process.
Ajmaq brings us the opportunity to “bring the sweetness into life” and we do this through true forgiveness. This is the day to make peace, particularly with those who are now in the other world. –Mark Elmy
13 Ajmaq Ajmaq is the energy that opens space for deep knowledge, for those life lessons that help us understand who we are and why we are here.
This Ch’umil invites us to be mindful, to live each moment with awareness and wonder, to turn inward and remember our essence.
Ajmaq is also forgiveness, the wisdom that teaches us to live without judgment, to respect the timing and the lessons of each being, understanding that every path has its own rhythm and perspective. The number Oxlajuj carries an energy that allows us to gather and integrate the wisdom that has emerged from our experiences.
On this day, as Oxlajuj Ajmaq flows within the trecena of K’at, let us remember not to fall into intolerance or let the ego convince us we are here to teach or judge others. Today the energies invite us to recognize that although we share light, learning, and expansion, our most important work continues to be the healing and growth that take place within ourselves. –Denise Barrios
