K’at Glyph: The glyph signifies the energy of gravity. It is represented by the sphere, trapped in the groove at the bottom, which divides the base into the two magnetic poles. –Carlos Barrios
K’at is the net, the snare, the problems that entrap us. This sign is also the power to unite the people and elements required to do what we need to do.
The net is used to store the things that will feed us in the future, not only physical things, such as corn and panela but also what is invisible: our memories, everything we learn, our experiences, and the transcendent moments in life. It also represents entanglement – the problems that are of our own making or those created by destiny in order to teach us.
K’at means everyone shapes their own thoughts, either positively or negatively. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
K’at, the nawal of collections and burdens, activates today under the laborious and creative influence of Power 5. K’at empowers us to hold onto what truly matters and release anything that hinders our progress, while 5 reminds us that earning comes through presence and effort. Together, 5 K’at is a potent day to gather skills and focus on easing burdens, freeing us from extra weight.
Fueled by the heroic spirit of the Ajpu Trecena, skills, talents, and actions woven together in pursuit of achievement are strengthened, magnetizing fresh and exciting paths ahead. 5 K’at, conceiving the 13th and final day of the Ajpu theme, emphasizes achieving fulfillment by directing our creative energies with focused intention.
The convergence of 5 and K’at also draws our attention to attachments and debts, inviting us to sense the excess burdens ready to be released. By purging these weights, we create space to move forward with greater agility and lightness. In relation to tasks, work, and commitments, this day calls us to discern which responsibilities truly belong to us and which can be let go or delegated. It may also indicate which mental habits or beliefs surrounding our commitments are ready to transform and evolve.
As Ajpu guides us to awaken our self-confidence and inner radiance, this day reminds us that the true battleground lies within—where old patterns restrain and limit us, and where the vision of freedom, refinement, and higher potential calls us forward. In this light, 5 K’at is best embraced by cultivating precision in our aim—the power of visionary intent combined with persistent dedication.

One characteristic defining Lizard’s meaning is the fact that the creature sheds its skin, much like a Snake. Shedding marks an increase in the reptile’s size and allows Lizard to rid itself of parasites.
Lizard comes to symbolize physical, emotional, or intellectual growth and the act of leaving behind what you’ve outgrown.
In Native American Tradition, Lizard represents the world of dreams, healing, and survival. Children receive amulets in the shape of a Lizard for protection and strength. –Bernadette King
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
5 K’at K’at contains within it the knowledge that teaches us to break the ties that restrain us, to not get stuck neither in our limits nor in those limits that have been imposed or taught to us. The number Job’ -5- speaks to us of the importance and power of action, its wisdom teaches us that the best way to accomplish what we want is by doing.
Today the energies tell us that in order to achieve freedom it is not enough to know what limits us, we must also take action.
Let us not get trapped in our problems, but let us rather immerse within ourselves and seek to let go of limiting beliefs, guilt, grudges, expectations and all that limits us.
Let us free ourselves from the energetic ties that contain us, being mindful of what we think about ourselves and our life, releasing through our consciousness those things that do not contribute to the freedom we have to express our true self. –Denise Barrios
5 K’at This is a day to work on bringing together all the threads, ideas and plans into one place.
K’at also allows us to assess what will be useful to keep in our net for our journey, and what is no longer required. It may be that an emotional attachment to something that you once held dear may be preventing you from progressing.
K’at may highlight what you are ready to release. It helps you sort through what you carry, ensuring that you pack correctly for your journey. Sometimes we can cut our ties in one go and release ourselves, other times it needs more effort.
Today might not release all of your burdens simultaneously. However, putting your energy in to the process of releasing yourself from attachments will certainly help your progress. –Mark Elmy
