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 represents those who govern on a local or national level. It represents spiritual authorities and the straight path. It is justice and the day that brings truth to light.
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:
Tz’i, the nawal of order, guidance, and fidelity, moves today with the dynamic and purposeful force of Power 5. Representing truth, fairness, and precision, Tz’i aligns our instincts with what is just and right, while the number 5 activates responsibility, effort, and the call to fulfill our spiritual mission. Together, 5 Tz’i becomes a day of loyal dedication to service, order, and purpose.
As we move through the dimensional thresholds of the Kame trecena—ushering death, transformation, and ancestral wisdom—today's energy highlights the sacredness of work and honoring our commitments as essential components of personal evolution. The convergence of these energies expands the concept of order and time beyond personal gain, connecting us with the legacy we’re crafting for generations to come. 5 Tz’i illustrates a symbol of creative hands molding spirit into form—shaping heightened understanding of our life path.
Tz’i carries the essence of justice and integrity, navigating the fine line between truth and illusion, chaos and clarity. As the conception sign of 13 Tijax, the final day of this trecena, 5 Tz’i marks a significant point in the arc of Kame’s teachings. It signals the sacrifices, purifications, and inner alignment needed to access our personal authority and fulfill Kame’s promise of self-mastery.
The shadow of Tz’i reflects temptations, harmful habits, or distortions that steer us away from authenticity and moral clarity—our inner compass that keeps us attuned to divine order. Friction in legal matters or discord in work and relationships can reveal where we’re living out of alignment with our truth.
The teaching of 5 Tz’i calls us to align with higher purpose through conscious, committed work. Without meaning, our efforts weigh us down; but inspired by something greater, each task becomes a labor of love. In this way, Tz’i invites us to operate with integrity, knowing that devotion to our responsibilities is, in truth, devotion to spirit.

Dog Spirit Animal
In Mayan culture, dogs hold a significant spiritual role, often viewed as guides for the deceased in their journey to the underworld. They are associated with the underworld, Xibalba, and are believed to carry souls across water after death, symbolizing their role as protectors and guides. Their actions often reflect moral lessons about humanity's relationship with nature and the divine.
Invoke the Dog spirit for guidance in transitions, particularly during times of change or loss. Dog is the ideal spiritual ally during personal transitions or when facing the unknown. Another significant reason to connect with the dog spirit animal is to enhance loyalty and companionship in one's life.
The dog symbolizes unwavering loyalty and serves as a reminder of the importance of these qualities in relationships. Invoking this spirit can help individuals cultivate deeper connections with loved ones and reinforce the values of trust and fidelity within their relationships.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
5 Tz’i
When the nawal which represents faith, loyalty and unconditional love is combined with the number which represents hard work, it is pretty obvious that this might prove to be testing day. Yet again we see a day with a challenging energy appear in the trecena of Kame.Tz’i gives us the understanding of how to continue to love unconditionally, no matter what. Today Tz’i is asking you, “can you really love unconditionally?” This does not just apply to relationships, of course. Today may throw up some “development opportunities” within the areas of faith and loyalty in general.
Remember, this trecena of Kame is all about a transformation of our spirit, and it is only through testing of our faith in our path and our lives that we can see if we are ready to embrace that transformation.
Tz’i is here to guide us through the darkness, provided we are willing to put in the work required from us, this is a day where we have to work on trusting our guidance. –Mark Elmy
5 Tz’i
What if instead of trying to prove our worth, we fully trusted in who we are?Rather than spending our energy checking whether we are meeting other people’s expectations, we could invest it in getting to know ourselves, accepting ourselves, and taking care of who we are; in building a life that truly represents us.
The energetic alignment of this day reminds us of the importance of recognizing our worth and having the courage to be ourselves, even if that makes others uncomfortable or does not match what they expect from us.
This day invites us to choose authenticity. –Denise Barrios
