Iq’ is the wind that sweeps clean the heart and psyche, the body and mind. This is the breath of life that heals all negative energy and illness, be it of a physical or psychological nature, but especially if the problem stems from anger or rage. It’s the energy of words and communication, the conception and expression of ideas. A day sign of cleansing and purification, Iq’ is the nawal of the moon and the air, of the divine breath and vital spirit of human existence. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Today, Iq—nawal of thought, inspiration, and imagination—finds grounding in the stabilizing essence of Power 4. Governing wind, air, and spirit, Iq’ brings movement, inspiration, change, and purification to mental and spiritual realms. Balanced with 4’s materializing energy, this revitalization takes tangible form. 4 Iq’ is a day to manifest ideas and act upon our words with reliability and integrity.
As we journey through the challenging, social, and birthing influence of the Kawoq Trecena, 4 Iq’ amplifies its potential of renewal. The vitality of this day grounds Kawoq’s social, familial, and communal transformations, supporting a process of purification and growth. At its highest, Iq’s imaginative qualities inspire the vision and actions needed to cultivate harmony and abundance in our relationships and collaborations. It calls for clear communication—an invitation to dot our i’s and cross our t’s—thus strengthening trust in ourselves and others.
With tranquility, patience, and deepened presence, the inspiring and stabilizing energy of 4 Iq’ can be focused into enthusiastic productivity. Yet, in its shadow, the social tensions of Kawoq combined with Iq’s impulsiveness may provoke passionate words or emotional outbursts—reactions that, reinforced by the enduring nature of 4, can be challenging to resolve or take back.
Overall, the interplay of change and endurance in today’s energy calls us to cleanse the psyche and move forward with clear intention. 4 Iq’ reminds us of our power to lay strong foundations through mindful words and purposeful action in all our endeavors. Guided by the medicine of the hummingbird, we are invited to meet challenges with adaptability and to flow gracefully with life’s shifting winds.

Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
4 Iq’ The beneficial properties of the number 4 bring stability and a touch of gentleness to the strong and unpredictable energy of the nawal Iq´, so today might prove to be very suitable for implementing inspired changes.
When channelled correctly, the energy of the wind can be dynamic and productive, and the energy of the number 4 brings the degree of stability required to tame its erratic nature. Inspiration comes through on the divine breath supported by the qualities of the four directions – vitality, wisdom, spirit and healing.
If you have been waiting for inspiration to voice some ideas, which have been in the back of your mind for some time, today could be the day where you find sufficient energy to express them.
The stability of the 4 also gives the ability to bring this inspiration into the physical world, to manifest your words into a solid reality. It is a day to get your ideas across to others, even if the ideas are rather far out, today they can be grounded and expressed easily. It is also a day to make changes, particularly in your physical world. –Mark Elmy
4 Iq’ Let us be conscious of the impact we can have on the story of another person. We are weavers of experiences, storytellers who, with the gift of our voice, can create threads of emotions in those around us. Each encounter with someone else gives us the possibility to build bridges that connect us.
In every word we speak, in every story we share, we have the power to make others feel, to build and inspire. Our voice is a tool that can touch hearts and bring transformation.
May the song of our being resonate as a melody full of love, so that every encounter becomes an opportunity for us to remember the potential and value we hold. -Denise Barrios
