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:
As we begin our walk through the enlightening No’j Trecena, today’s 2 Tijax can resemble a flash of lightning parting the sky, a symbol inviting us to confront hesitancy by decisively choosing what we need to separate from in our lives.
With No’j guiding our patience and prudence, this purification process is enhanced by refined focus and strategic thinking. While Tijax can bring drastic revelations from fleeting insights, the positive qualities of 2 encourage calculated and measured guidance on what needs to be cut away.
Yet just like the energy of 2,Tijax embodies the duality of experience—its sharp obsidian blade signifies both pain of separation and the potential for healing. Today is a day of self-reflection, discerning carefully the choices we face. This awareness allows us to understand how our past decisions shape our present state and what new choices can lighten our physical and mental state.
This day is particularly suited for diagnosis and balancing our thoughts and actions. We’re called to exercise heightened discernment as we identify and eliminate unhealthy habits, relationships, or beliefs that hinder our plans and progress. However, it is crucial to remember that decisions made in anger can lead to regretful outcomes.
As Tijax is associated with healers and surgeons, today serves as an opportunity to surgically remove negativity and dysfunction from our lives. This act of cutting away what no longer serves us is not just about feeling better; it opens pathways to new possibilities as we deepen our spiritual, cosmic-mind connection inherent in the No’j Trecena.
Today’s Toucan animal medicine reminds us that effective communication is vital during this transformative process. While today may present stark choices, its essence lies in harnessing warrior energy to cut through negativity and protect ourselves from illness and misfortune. In doing so, we refine our intellect and move closer to our authentic selves, ultimately carving the way for our higher destiny.
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
Toucan Spirit Animal:
“Inspires Beauty”, “Embodies Confidence”, “Communication True to Self”
Toucans stand for new opportunities. If you find yourself in a difficult or complicated situation, dealing with a toucan spirit animal can assist you in breaking free and moving ahead.
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. The toucan serves as a spiritual teacher who encourages us to embrace plenty and impart our knowledge to others. Toucans are joyful birds that try to improve the world via their inspiration and leadership.
What distortions, habits, or mental strains am I ready to release in order to advance my plans and goals? What choices or truths need to be communicated today, and how can I approach them with strategic thinking and careful analysis?
