I’x: The nawal of Nature and Mayan altars, it symbolizes the sacred energy pulsing through running water such as streams and brooks, and the protective energy of places like plains, hills, and mountains. This day sign grants the spiritual and psychological strength to reach the highest levels of consciousness, which underpins mysticism and divination. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
I’x—nawal of the jaguar, inner realms, and primal nature—merges today with the productive qualities of Power 3. Embodying agility, potential, and creative forces, I’x awakens higher abilities and the expansion of awareness. Meanwhile, 3, oriented toward tangible results, calls for persistence and adaptability—helping us turn vision and intention into reality. 3 I’x marks a potent day for channeling mental strength into creations shaped with heightened sensitivity and clarity.
As we navigate the paths of self-discovery within the E’ Trecena, 3 I’x emphasizes learning from both trial and error, as well as exploring the fertile space between motive and result. This energy draws us inward—into the landscapes of consciousness, emotional and intuitive awareness, flexibility, and resilience—qualities that form the spiritual and mental foundation for the reality we shape and the creative outcomes we seek.
The Jaguar, ruler of the underworld and the unseen, governs the psychic and emotional forces shaping material reality. In its shadow, 3 I’x reveals hidden motives—selfishness, greed, or the pull of untamed impulses and unresolved emotions. Because our actions often mirror these deeper currents, self‑observation becomes a vital tool for progress on our path and a firm foundation for genuine spirituality.
Yet the underworld also holds hidden talents and gifts that emerge when we face reality honestly and navigate life’s obstacles along the path of self‑discovery. The challenges of this day can guide us toward our personal power—our innate capacity to consciously shape our lives with clarity and heightened self‑awareness. 3 I’x invites self‑realization by reminding us that our reality is ultimately shaped not by what happens around us, but by how we respond—a truth far richer than anything imposed or perceived from outside.

The jaguar is seen as a guardian of the underworld and a symbol of the night, reflecting its ability to thrive in darkness. This nocturnal nature allows the jaguar to traverse the boundaries between worlds, making it a mediator between the living and the spiritual.
The Jaguar is often depicted as a companion to deities, embodying the qualities of ferocity and protection. This connection to the divine reinforces the belief that the jaguar spirit can guide individuals through challenges, helping them confront their fears and navigate the complexities of life.
The jaguar's hunting abilities also highlight the importance of timing and patience, traits that are essential for both the animal and humans seeking to achieve their goals.
Just as the jaguar waits for the perfect moment to strike its prey, individuals are encouraged to recognize and seize opportunities in their own lives. This understanding of timing is crucial for personal growth and success, emphasizing the need for awareness and adaptability in various situations.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
3 I’x Today is an appropriate day to find your connection to the Earth within yourself. It is a day to find the sacred site inside yourself.
As the number 3 represents the hearthstones, the home would be the favorable place to focus your energies. It is a day to work on your internal connections.
Tend to the spirit of the Mother within your own home, and within your heart. Showing gratitude to her for all that she gives, and giving back are a better exercise for today. This is a day to connect your pulse to the heart of the Earth and find the magic within. It is a day to find the shrine within yourself. –Mark Elmy
3 I’x The energies of this day hold great creative power.
I’x awakens the creativity of feminine energy, while the power of Oxib’ [3] arises from the convergence of two currents that merge to give birth to a new energy. The trecena of E’ provides the impulse we need to create.
It reminds us that focusing on expectations—trying to control the future— can easily lead to frustration. But when we channel our energy into intentions, aligning them with our actions, with each step we take along the path of life, we are truly creating.
The energies of this day call us to recognize our impact on our existence, to remember that, whether we realize it or not, we are constantly creating it. –Denise Barrios
