Toj Glyph: The glyph represents a wheel and its axis. It represents Grandfather Sun and his strength. It is a circle, symbolizing the law of cause and effect. –Carlos Barrios
Toj: A sign of harmony, balance, and equilibrium, Toj embodies not only the power, freedom, and inner peace that these states of grace carry, but also all of the struggles and challenges we go through to achieve and maintain them in our lives.
It is, in a word, the sign of karma, the sign of payment and the energy of the law of action and reaction that the concept of karma carries. It also represents offering, payment, fines, and debt. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Toj, the nawal of equilibrium, harmony and reciprocity stabilizes with the solidity and grounding essence of Power 4. Toj embodies the concept of Karma and the law of causality—action and reaction—while the number 4 brings patience and resilience essential for building lasting structures. 4 Toj invites us to embrace gratitude for all we receive and to express this principle of balanced reciprocity through our actions.
Within the transformative, familial themes of the Kame Trecena, 4 Toj brings its warmth, sensitivity, and balancing awareness to the larger cycles of our lives—ancestral imprints and inherited patterns spanning generations. On a broader scale, 4 Toj illuminates our individual paths, foundations, and mindsets, highlighting how our family history is woven into what endures through our own incarnation, and how this shapes our present circumstances, relationships, and exchanges.
When something feels off, we often sense it through the body. The grounding and sensitive energy of 4 Toj helps us recognize these imbalances and gently realign through deliberate, embodied action. For example, this energy can attune us to what is needed to create more effective systems of exchange and service. It helps us discern the subtle sensations between harmony and imbalance.
The overarching theme of Kame invites us to dissolve fear and anxiety by meeting challenge and doubt with deeper, more receptive listening. Through 4 Toj, nurturing humility and gratitude naturally unfolds as we open to this presence. With heightened awareness, the instabilities we encounter become not obstacles, but building blocks on the path we’re consciously shaping toward self-mastery. What we offer in sincere gratitude holds the power to transform inherited patterns and dissolve limitations that no longer serve our truest expression.

Puma Spirit Animal:
The Puma, also commonly known as the mountain lion, cougar and panther, this is a powerful ally that opens to aligning you to evolving your sense of self and connection to focus and motivation through clearing and cleansing of your energy field.
In many indigenous cultures, the puma symbolizes strength, elegance, and wildness. Revered as a spirit animal, the puma aids individuals in discovering and unleashing their inner strength. It also embodies the courage and determination required to overcome life’s challenges. It can help dissolve internal barriers and guide you to your authentic nature.
This energy aligns with time management and thinking outside the square, to control in diversity, to staying on task and yielding results. –Susan Green
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
4 To’j
Our debts weigh heavily on our energy, whether they are big karmic debts or that $10 you forgot to give back to someone. It doesn’t matter if it is only a tiny debt, in fact those you forget are the ones which mount up. They connect both the debtor and the lender, nibbling away at their energy and causing both an imbalance and and unnecessary attachment.The theme of this trecena of Kame is spiritual transformation, and this is difficult to undergo when such physical attachments are present.
Big debts can be very detrimental to the health, but may also be difficult to clear. Small ones might be more manageable. Sometimes just an acknowledgement towards the person you owe may go a long way to creating harmony, just by showing you haven’t forgotten.
Likewise, it is important to remind others of their debt towards you, even if you feel awkward doing this. The energy goes both ways and it is better to clear it. Of course it doesn’t have to be about money, it may be that you owe the most precious of commodities, time.Today is a day to repay favors, if nothing is asked for then why not just do something nice for someone who has helped you out in the past. If you haven’t got anyone to repay, then this would be an excellent day for a random act of kindness towards a complete stranger.
Toj helps to bring health and well being when payments are made, and so making physical payments today can help to heal divides within your community and bring transformation. –Mark Elmy

In a world that constantly invites us to live in haste and immerse ourselves in distractions that disconnect us from our presence, gratitude emerges as a beautiful gift that invites us to observe and appreciate the small blessings that surround us. It gives us the opportunity to feel each moment with pause and depth, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the magic of each experience that unfolds in our lives.Let us embrace gratitude; let us wake up each morning with a grateful heart for the gift that a new day offers us. Let us express gratitude in our relationships to create stronger and more powerful connections.
In this trecena of Kame, let us give thanks for our ancestors and for every lesson learned along the spiral of space-time, which has enriched our existence.
Let us be grateful for each rebirth that has guided us to expand and become the beautiful beings that we are today. –Denise Barrios

This post has a lot of the energy of what came through for me these last couple of days, I think I needed to hear this, thank you! 😘✨
