The 4 leans very much to the practical world and gives us the solid foundation on which all physical existence is based. Its combination with Tz’i gives a feeling of dependability, a solid and honest energy. -Mark Elmy

Tz’i Glyph: This glyph signifies the staff used by indigenous authorities, as well as a dog’s tail. It is spiritual law that cannot be bought or sold.
Tz’i is spiritual law and the law of man. It is the guardian of material and spiritual law. It symbolizes fidelity, order, and precision and is represented by the cosmic authorities whose energy is on the Earth, whether in the form of people or places. Great pyramids and natural altars are dedicated to these sacred authorities.
Tz’i also means dog, which acts as a secretary, assistant, and adviser. This is the Creator’s representative on Earth who is in charge of applying and enforcing justice. This energy is also related to writing, particularly sacred writing. It is the symbol of great scribes. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Today’s nawal of guidance, law, and order is anchored in the solidity of Power 4. Governing both the internal and external, Tz’i represents authority, loyalty, instinct, and rectitude. 4 Tz’i is a day to establish integrity and reliability, backed by our words and actions.
As a day that calls for strengthening respect and stability, the overarching fourfold theme of the Kej Trecena further grounds its energy into solid, lasting structures. It invites us to focus closely on the fundamental roots and foundations of our circumstances, goals, and strategies—ensuring thought, intent, behavior, and action align fully with what we are cultivating. A deeper presence is the tone to embody today.
As Kej guides us toward honor and equilibrium, 4 Tz’i reminds us that anything transcendental and enduring—such as self-realization—requires honesty and maturity as a starting point. It also highlights that true character is revealed in the choices we make consistently over time, and today’s energy supports us in practicing those choices with integrity and steadfastness.
The darker nature of Tz’i can challenge us through vices, infidelity, corruption, and falsehood. For example, getting fined or running into trouble with the law today shows that something in our way of living needs adjustment, and the law serves as a means to guide those changes.
4 Tz’i encourages inner tranquility and concentration, inviting a closer evaluation of our four bodies—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. When these four states are in positive equilibrium, we recognize our own authoritative power that requires no external enforcement.
This balance strengthens our ability to follow inner guidance in every moment. With the intention to align ourselves with our true, integral nature, we cultivate self-respect and fidelity across all time and with all living beings.

In Mayan tradition, the dog spirit animal is revered as a loyal companion and guardian, bridging the visible and invisible worlds. This aligns with the concept of Dog as a Power Animal, fiercely devoted, loving, and protective.
The Pop Wuj highlights dogs' roles in maintaining harmony with nature and respecting all living beings. Invoking Dog medicine assists one in maintaining integrity and faithfulness in all relationships, including relationship withself.
In traditional beliefs, dogs guide souls on their journey to Xibalba [underworld], reflecting their ability to navigate different realms. Those who resonate with the dog spirit embody loyalty, courage, and problem-solving skills. By invoking Dog medicine, we enhance our capacity for guidance and faithfulness in relationships. Just as dogs bring joy through play, embracing Dog energy reminds us to live fully in the moment and cherish the blessings around us.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
4 Tz’i The day 4 Tz’i may come as a welcome relief after the challenges faced yesterday. If those challenges caused you to lose faith in yourself or your world, here is the nawal Tz’i to restore it.
It is a day when you might encounter some unusual examples of the lengths your friends will go to to help you. It is a day where you may find your faith in your journey restored and strengthened by your experiences.
It is a day where the instinct serves to bring stable guidance in your journey. It is a day when the natural laws of the world are balanced, and true justice may be seen.–Mark Elmy
4 Tz’i We all have the ability to live with awareness, presence, authenticity, sovereignty, and connection to our divinity.
The convergence of Kajib’ Tz’i’ with the trecena of Kej reminds us that we shine in this world by being authentic.
There’s no need to imitate others or adjust who we are just to fit in. We are the very expression of divinity, so let us not doubt that within each of us resides great power. Let us seek the inspiration and drive to awaken it. –Denise Barrios
