The wisdom we hold goes far beyond our intellect, it arises from each of our senses, from listening to our heart, from the signals in our blood and skin, from paying attention to our intuition, from feeling the energies and being guided by our spirit. This day awakens in us the capacity we have to understand the power that inhabits us. –Denise Barrios

Diana’s Observations:
Today’s nawal of the Jaguar, a fusion of power, agility and mysticism, is amplified through dynamic action, effort, and dedication. This day symbolizes an ethereal and magnetic attraction, manifesting through acts of bringing order into our lives.
As the crown predator of the jungle, the Jaguar patiently waits, utilizing all its senses to identify the perfect, opportune moment to pounce on its prey for nourishment and survival – a demonstration of impeccable agility in one sweeping blow.
Building upon yesterday’s 4 Aj’s gentle stabilization of our foundations, 5 I’x becomes the timely impulse to move with our receptive faculties and creative forces, developing and maneuvering forward with a heightened sense of magical momentum. As we progress along the Tz’i Trecena, highlighting divine law and the reclaiming of our personal authority, this day emphasizes accuracy and impeccability this journey – resonant qualities between Tz’i and I’x.
Undertakings, operations, services, and missions – fueled by the building energy of action – find support today through an angle of magic and receptivity. By engaging our five senses to perceive subtle cues and signals, highlighted by the day's energy, we integrate the teachings of the Tz’i Trecena, empowering our instincts to illuminate truth, cultivate trust in our chosen path, and walk in deeper alignment with divine order.
By training our being to pay closer attention to Earth’s messages, our bodily cues and synchronicity, we cultivate our inner knowing with precision, just like the Jaguar, discerning when to pause and wait, and when to act and move.
Extending across many native cultures, the Jaguar also stands as a potent symbol of integrity and authority, serving as the guardian of the jungle, maintaining balance within its environment. To assist the Tz’i Trecena’s cultivation of truth, justice, and integrity, 5 I’x presents a special opportunity to offer words of gratitude or physical gifts to Mother Earth, in appreciation for her guidance, sustenance, material wealth, and the elevated teachings of Natural Law she bestows upon our lives.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
5 I’x
Magic is what happens when we choose not to be guided only by reason and logic.The energy of this day speaks to us of not becoming trapped in the perfectionist search for knowledge, for when we learn to free ourselves from the rigid structures of our mind, when we do not spend our lives overanalyzing and proving everything, that is when we will be able to venture into the magical knowledge.
Let us see the magic that exists in those coincidences that we experience in life, in the opportunities that suddenly unfold before us, in the hunches and signs that guide us; magic is present for each one of us when we are open to perceive it, when we remember that our inner wisdom goes far beyond our intellect. –Denise Barrios
5 I’x
The energy of the nawal Ix helps us to remember that we are all the children of the Earth. We are all connected to her energy whether we choose to acknowledge it or not.When we enhance our connection with her, she rewards us. To strengthen our connection, we talk to her, we ask her for her help and we thank her for what she gives.
The energy of the number 5 represents work, it also represents the sacred fire. This is where we speak our words, where we ask for the Earth to help us and where we show our gratitude.
This can be an excellent day for making a thanksgiving fire at a natural shrine. It is a day to work on our gratitude in order to keep the flow of our sustenance steady. -Mark Elmy
Jaguar Spirit Animal:
“Integrity”, “Sudden Transformation” “Magic” “Embodied Strength & Courage”
Jaguar is a deeply significant totem in indigenous American spiritual teaching. Often regarded as the guardian of the West, it represents life and death, sudden transformation, and a devouring of negative emotions.
The jaguar is the predator who hunts what resists to be transformed.
When a medicine man or woman calls the jaguar to facilitate a healing, there will be no more hiding from change.
This animal represents powerful healing symbolism, calling for impeccability, dignity, and justice.
If jaguar medicine comes to you, prepare to find your behavior corrected. You will be called to act at the highest levels of honesty, truthfulness, and respect. –Bryjna Magnusson
