The changing energy of the wind fills your sails and helps you move forward and the calm predictability of the number 4 puts you in control of your direction. -Mark Elmy

Iq’ Glyph: This glyph signifies a window like the ones our Grandfathers used in the Classic Mayan era to let the air through. –Carlos Barrios
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.
Iq’ symbolizes the purity and translucence of glass, and graphically represents the T-shaped windows of temples, which served the dual purpose of determining what kind of wind was blowing by the sound it made through the window, and observing astronomical phenomena and movements of stars and planets. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Following yesterday's potential psychic storms and opportunities to detach from herd mentality, today’s 4 Iq’ invites us to solidify and implement insights drawn from the the creative womb of consciousness into actionable forms. This day offers a chance to express our individuality practically, breathing positive changes and renewal into our reality.
The number 4 symbolizes integrity and reliability. When combined with Iq’, it emphasizes the importance of “keeping our word” both to stabilize ourselves and our relationship with others. Being dependable and avoiding inconsistency are small yet impactful ways we can contribute to the healing and rebirth of our families, communities, and work relationships—elements that the Trecena of Kawoq brings into focus.
Kawoq embodies versatility, resonating with the fluidity of the breeze and the purifying nature of air. This versatility invites us to flow with changes and adapt to the new, allowing the winds of Iq’ to purify our lives effectively.
The solidity of 4 paired with the element of air emphasizes reliability with our thoughts and words; by taking full ownership of our commitments, we elevate our consciousness toward our higher selves. This process clears away erroneous assumptions and stagnant energies that the winds of Iq’ and the storms of Kawoq are helping us cleanse collectively.
Today is particularly auspicious for clear communication—an opportunity to dot our i’s and cross our t’s—strengthening trust in ourselves and in others. By collaborating with the cleansing energies of Iq’ and Kawoq, we can enhance the positive transformations that today’s winds usher into our lives and networks.
Iq’s hummingbird medicine encourages us to cultivate clarity and inspiration in our imagination, presence, joy, and dreams. The spirit of this day reminds us to take action on our aspirations, manifesting them physically in this world. When we bring our ideas to fruition, infusing them with love and energy while living in integrity, we set an example that may inspire others to do the same.
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
The hovering movement of Hummingbird is a potent message about being in the moment and enjoying life’s nectar. Overall, Hummingbird as a spirit animal represents flexibility (our ability to accept and implement change), lightheartedness, and joy. The hummingbird is one of the most fascinating birds because of its ability to move its body swiftly, change direction quickly and smoothly, seemingly gliding from one place to another. By affinity with this power animal, you can be encouraged to use or develop a similar skill.
When the hummingbird shows up in your life, it may be an invitation to flex you path, perhaps even bending backward or forward, in order to accommodate life’s circumstances.
This spirit animal invites us to cultivate a sense of fluidity in our lives, reminding us that we can navigate obstacles with grace and ease. The hummingbird's journey often involves migration, symbolizing new beginnings and the transformative power of letting go of the past.
You may be required to adapt to a situation that is a bit more demanding than usual. The wisdom carried by this spirit animal emphasizes flexibility and lightness in your approach to the unexpected.
How am I grounding and manifesting my ideas today? In this process, am I honoring my integrity and being true to myself and those around me?
