The energy of today brings together an interesting combination of the number which represents duality with the nawal which resolves duality. It would seem to be an ideal day to seek peace through mediation. –Mark Elmy

Tijax is the day sign of the Obsidian, an extremely sharp natural glass formed by volcanic activity that among the Maya is most prized by diviners and warriors.
Like obsidian, Tijax is sharp yet fragile, difficult to polish and manipulate, and cuts to the core of things with all the force of integrity. It cuts not only through deception, evil, and negative energies, but also physical illness.
For this reason it is an auspicious sign for healers (curanderas), surgeons and doctors, for all matters of health and wellness, medicine and curing of disease. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Tijax—the nawal of the obsidian blade and purification—cuts and releases with the duality of Power 2 today. Discerning and agile, Tijax helps us clear away the superfluous and the false, upholding only truth, authenticity, and beauty. The contrasts and polarities of 2 bring either union or separation to the precise, healing qualities of this day. On 2 Tijax, purity emerges through harmonious complementation or gentle withdrawal from what no longer serves a purposeful path.
As we journey through the knowledge-enriching No’j Trecena, 2 Tijax acts as a mirror to the soul, defining and sculpting the dynamics of our relationships while crystallizing awareness around essential choices that enhance clarity of mind and heart. Within the theme of No’j, where intelligence, science, and systems transform learning into wisdom, 2 Tijax invites us to refine communication and decisions with the intent to purify, carving new pathways of spiritual understanding.
In its more difficult expression, Tijax reveals the silent wounds that emerge as pain or sorrow, inviting us to mend by honoring emotional and physical grief as sacred messengers ready for acknowledgment. Guided by the duality of 2, this purifying presence encourages honest dialogue and measured decisions, seeking to harmonize opposing forces and integrate what has become fragmented within. Through this courageous engagement, unexpected pathways can open—ushering us into new realms of understanding and purpose, and illuminating higher insights of clarity and understanding, born of precision and conscious healing.

Toucan’s importance is derived from its prominent visibility in the rainforest ecosystem and its colorful, unusual features, which automatically associated it with the celestial and spiritual realms. Like other vividly feathered birds, the Toucan’s high-perching habit and vibrant plumage connected it to the sky, the sun, and the canopy, making it a secondary symbol of celestial communication and the bright abundance of the lowland jungle.
The toucan’s beak is strongly related to its spiritual meaning. The big, curved beak represents the power to see what others can’t. It also serves as a symbol of the effectiveness of communication.The Toucan is regarded as a spirit animal of higher wisdom because it can communicate directly with our subconscious minds.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
2 Tijax: Tijax can be seen as a precision instrument. It cuts with the skill of a surgeon, seeing precisely what to remove. When coupled with the number 2, representing polarity and duality, this can make things very clear.
The day 2 Tijax may bring things into stark contrast giving a clear understanding of what is to be kept and what is to be cut away. It is a day when we may have to choose our side, to draw our line in the sand.There is no middle ground on a 2 day, and Tijax might even take that into warfare. This, of course, would be about the polar opposite of the resolution of conflict, but that is the other side of a 2 day.
The number 2 can also represent self-sacrifice and relationships, and may be a day on which we ask ourselves what we can cut away from ourselves in order to strengthen our relationships.
Tijax can represent the purification that comes through sacrifice, today would be a good day to cut yourself free of something which may be causing an imbalance in your relationship. This is a day to bring decisive healing through love and understanding. –Mark Elmy
2 Tijax Let us remember that some paths must break for better ones to emerge.
The Elders teach that the power of Tijax guides us with its strength and wisdom, supporting our journey of healing and harmony.Tijax helps us release what clouds our vision, unveil the true reality, connect with our inner power, and open paths toward the destinations aligned with our purpose.
This day brings the strength to cut away everything that no longer serves us—illness, negative energy, relationships, or situations that hold back our evolution.
The trecena of No’j reminds us to approach this release with wisdom, peace, and harmony, avoiding unnecessary harshness in our actions. –Denise Barrios

Pruned our now dried cannabis plants today. Also confronted conflict with truth, a bit of a couples therapy day as I tested my husband’s patience and I tried not to take it personally as he instructed me what to do all day long 😆
