Q’anil Glyph: The glyph represents a perforation upon the earth with the Tixjob, that is used to separate the earth to deposit the seeds and the four seeds that represents the four colors of corn and the four races of humanity: red, black, white, yellow. –Denise Barrios
Q’anil: A lush and fertile sign, Q’anil brims with the energy of positive growth and abundance. It carries the codes for all of life, nourishes perpetual regeneration, and represents the seed, corn, pride, harvest, and food.
A harmonious and cyclical day, it also symbolizes love, understanding, and realization, and embodies ancestral knowledge, universal memory and genetic wisdom. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Q’anil – nawal of the seed, fertility, production, and realization – grows today with the integral blessings of Power 4. Embodying productive potential and abundance, Q’anil nurtures harmony, manifestation, and sows achievement. 4 materializes these gifts into the physical realm, establishing the integrity and structure needed to bring ideas to fruition. 4 Q’anil is a day to tend our metaphorical crops, to plan, and to focus on strategies that invite growth and success.
Nestled within the evolutionary Kan Trecena, 4 Q’anil grounds transformative knowledge and insight, weaving its golden light into our ideas, aspirations, collaborative projects, and tangible changes. This is a day for discipline and a methodical approach, inviting us to refine our strategies, organize our systems, and remember that enduring success always stems from patience, consistency, and focused effort—guiding dreams toward their harvest.
Reflecting Q’anil’s essence, 4 harmonizes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual planes, underscoring the truth that genuine evolution and transformation arise from the integrity of all dimensions of our being. 4 Q’anil calls us to draw upon inner integrity and strength as essential elements for fruition through this cycle and the next, marking this day as an auspicious time to evaluate our intentions, goals, and objectives for the coming 20 days, until we once again arrive at Q’anil.
Today’s Rabbit medicine offers clever discernment—teaching us the wisdom of knowing not just when to pause or leap, but what ideas, efforts, and energies truly deserve nurturing. When we accumulate plans without mindful reflection on future potential, we risk mistaking busy work for real productivity and growth. Stagnation or rigidity signals old patterns ready to be pruned, clearing space for renewed vitality. In harmony with this, Kan guides us to trust our body’s intuition and the cycles of nature—to sense when to let go, and when to gather our strength for purposeful movement. By giving our attention to what holds real promise, we shed what no longer serves and nurture lasting transformation.

The rabbit, a creature of quick movement and keen instincts, is a powerful spirit animal symbolizing fertility, abundance, and creative energy. In Central American indigenous traditions, particularly among the Aztecs, the rabbit was closely associated with the moon and the gods of drunkenness and fertility, representing a powerful, sometimes chaotic, life-giving force.
Its lunar connection links it to the cycles of the feminine and the ebb and flow of existence. For these reasons, the rabbit spirit is often invoked to aid in manifesting abundance, to bring creative projects to life, or to welcome new beginnings.
Across various Native American and South American cultures, the rabbit is revered as a clever trickster and a master survivor. Its speed and ability to outwit larger predators symbolize intelligence, strategic thinking, and the power of swift, intuitive action. In some traditions, its burrowing nature connects it deeply to the Earth and the secrets held within its depths.
The rabbit’s energy encourages a balance between listening to one's instincts and taking decisive action. It ultimately stands as a symbol of prosperity and the courage to navigate challenges with cleverness and a playful approach to life.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
4 Q’anil Whatever you “plant” today is infused with the energy to come to a stable fruition. It should ripen beautifully into a stable source of abundance. This day could be seen as a day of material wealth, of material abundance. Of course, this would mean that something is missing.
The stability of the four creates a good, solid foundation. If we look at the glyph for Q’anil, we can see that the number four is represented within it. But there is another aspect to Q’anil which would suggest waiting a little before full maturity.
Perhaps what we harvest today might be enough to bring stability, but not the full potential that could be achieved.
This could be seen as a good day to plan the future harvest. Create a framework within which the abundance can be gathered, and possibly have a trial run. If the needs really cannot wait, harvest what will sustain you for now. However, waiting a little longer will bring a greater abundance from a more mature crop.–Mark Elmy
4 Q’anil Let us give the best of us in everything we do, in every word we speak, knowing that it all begins with that first seed we sow.
Every action, no matter how small it may seem, has the power to bring great changes to our being, our existence, and our environment, for we are choosing our life at each moment, whether we do it consciously or not.
Let us shape our reality with awareness, let us bloom wherever it is that life may plant us. –Denise Barrios
