This is the day for inner healing, resolving internal conflicts and concentrating on what needs attention within you, bringing yourself into balance before working on others. This is the day to polish your inner diamond. –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:
Today, the nawal of the surgical blade, Tijax, meets with the obstructive, uncertain, and consequential energy of Power 3. While 3's influence can feel obstructive, its pairing with Tijax guides purification through the risk of error. This combination helps us bravely open paths of growth through necessary cuts, snipping away at emotional excess, distractions, and wasted energy.
Within the Ajmaq Trecena’s themes of discord, introspection, curiosity, and self-discovery, 3 Tijax encourages a courageous quest to confront our obstacles and insecurities, even at the cost of making mistakes. This process involves inquisitively cutting through limitations and illusions, refining our discernment to arrive at a deeper understanding of ourselves.
The home and hearth qualities of 3 work harmoniously with the introspective qualities of Ajmaq, demonstrating the wisdom of prioritizing internal, core healing work. This can involve cutting and removing internal falsehoods and distortions first, before extending Tijax's surgical blade outward.
Today is auspicious for careful assessment into what is present, true, and real internally—such as pain, shame, or guilt—before venturing into unknown and foggy territory externally with others. As the nawal associated with spontaneity, sensitivity, pain, and discomfort, Tijax guides focused awareness on where these qualities are taking place and works carefully, with precision, to liberate them from our being.
While yesterday's 2 No'j opened our perception to dichotomy, opposition, and decision-making in partnerships, today's 3 Tijax focuses on the deeper emotional landscapes, helping us see where we need to make incisions and carefully remove parts of ourselves or our relationships that are misaligned with our personal truth and essence.
This process of separation and purification ultimately manifests as precision-based attention on our weaknesses, limitations, and weight that obscure our vision with doubt. By addressing these internal burdens, we can patiently remove the layers of constraint, one by one, allowing us to sink deeper into the vibration of lightness, truth, and freedom.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
3 Tijax: Trying to push forward towards external goals may be more trouble than it is worth today, perhaps a more conducive focus would be inner peace.
It is a day where finding resolution or healing may be fraught with difficulties, possibly leading to confrontation.
Tijax brings an energy of discernment, which can result in truly seeing the place to cut away that which is out of balance. However, it is possible that today that discernment is clouded, and if the sharp, cutting energy of Tijax is employed, an error may occur.
This is not the day for snap judgements with regards to the outer world. On some days it is better to concentrate on creating beauty, peace and healing within your own home, and this is one of them. –Mark Elmy
3 Tijax: It becomes easier when we grasp the impermanence of things. We realize that we are not tethered to any single situation, whether it’s good or bad.
This understanding allows us to remain present, enjoy each moment, and discover the freedom that comes from acknowledging that life isn’t a straight path; it has its highs and lows, all of which are vital parts of our growth.
When we are fully present and connected to our true selves, we recognize that the power to liberate ourselves resides within. By observing and cutting the internal blockages that hold us back, we can release the pain of the past and the longings for the future. Our ability to create, to exist, and to heal begins in the now. –Denise Barrios
Toucan Spirit Animal:
“Inspires Beauty”, “Embodies Confidence”, “Communication True to Self”
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. -spiritanimals.org
What internal falsehoods or limitations are ready to be carefully removed? How can I cultivate the courage and trust needed to take bold steps in my healing journey, even if it means navigating uncertainty and potential mistakes?
