Imox Glyph: This glyph signifies a glass of water. The top part is the mouth where it is filled up, and the vertical lines represent its roundness. Imox also represents the rain.
Imox puts the mind in a receptive mode, increases spiritual strength, and manages the energies of change. It provides the power to understand nature’s messages in order to plan the next steps in one’s life.
Imox means the essence in every sense of the word. It is everything that corresponds to the left side, the subtle part of humans. It is the unusual and eccentric. We need a positive equilibrium on this day because it could lead to lunacy. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Imox, the nawal of abstraction, sensitivity, and hidden currents, meets the dualistic energy of Power 2 today. Imox awakens dormant, unseen powers, while 2 highlights contrasts and choices. Together, 2 Imox surges with the potential to reveal a bridge or profound insight between two concepts, perspectives, or states.
Representing receptivity and the inner landscape of the mind, Imox links ideas together. Its secretive nature encourages us to look deeper—beneath the surface of matters—and become more aware of the internal filters shaping our perception, as well as how we project these outward.
As we begin our journey through the bold and illuminating Ajpu Trecena, 2 Imox may test the strength of our mind and will to overcome resistance. Days marked by the number 2 invite us to pause and assess carefully before making decisions. Combined with the visionary nature of Imox, this day calls for heightened attention to our dreams, thoughts, emotions, and the choices that shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and especially our opposition.
At the same time, 2 Imox invites us to break free from stagnation and dare to move beyond conditioned notions of right and wrong, encouraging us to swim curiously in the yin and yang of life. By opening our hearts to this universal flow, we can emerge from the perceived struggles of duality with a creative expression of our true individuality—the secret essence and power that 2 Imox may offer.
This day also calls us to face discomfort and challenges with openness to the hidden potentials that courage can reveal, reflecting Ajpu’s overarching theme. It reminds us that free will guides our choices, which we can explore creatively and learn from on our unique path toward self-mastery.

Crocodile represents the primordial waters of creation and the mysteries of the subconscious. Ancient beliefs hold that the crocodile protects ancient knowledge and wisdom that reaches back to our primal DNA.
Crocodile embodies the ability to navigate the depths of emotion and intuition. As a totem, this animal spirit guides us through the murky waters of our psyche and reminding us of our strength to adapt and thrive.
One defining characteristic of the crocodile is that its eyes are on top of its head, symbolizing the gift of sight—perhaps future-telling or the ability to perceive angelic spirits. This unique feature allows them to see without exposing themselves to danger.
When we call upon the crocodile spirit animal, we invoke its capacity for introspection, diving beneath the surface of our conscious thoughts to explore hidden realms of dreams and memories. Crocodile teaches patience, particularly during new beginnings. By embracing this energy, we can uncover the root causes of our emotional challenges and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Its connection to primordial waters symbolizes purification and rebirth, reminding us that facing our fears can lead to transformation.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
2 Imox Imox can be seen as the infinite possibilities, encountering Imox can be like staring into the abyss. It can inspire or terrify. The energy of Imox is not always the easiest to work with.
Today, the energy of the number 2 is coupled with Imox. This can be seen as being able to understand the duality, the energy of the number two helping us to discern between the dream world and the real world.
It is, perhaps, rather a useful combination, one which may help bring out the best from the “crazy” day. Perhaps the most charming interpretation would be when we see the number 2 as the number of lovers, suggesting that today you are particularly able to form a collective consciousness with your partner. –Mark Elmy
2 Imox To shine is to embrace without fear every shade of who we are.
We just began a trecena that allows us to see our light, and when it converges with the energies of Keb’ Imox, which guide this day, we remember that seeing our light does not mean ignoring our shadow, but being aware of it.
Being authentic means being honest with everything we are, understanding that our growth and healing do not come from pretending false positivity or a happiness we do not feel, but from staying connected to everything we feel and experience.
Let us allow ourselves to feel what we feel, go through difficult moments with openness and resilience, and embrace every shade of our light and our shadow without judging ourselves, recognizing that all that we are is part of our power, and although courage is needed, that is how we shine with our light; that is being our authentic self. –Denise Barrios
