B’atz Glyph: The top part of the glyph is a cone that has time rolled up in it. The cone descends to a triangle, which represents our dimension, and then to the sphere of the Earth, passing through the angles, which are the two polarities; masculine and feminine.
B’atz is the weaver of the thread of life and the cords of time. For the Maya, history is woven with the thread of time just as clothing is sewn from the fibers of plants. B’atz symbolizes evolution, movement, motion, and development; initiation affirmation, and favorable divination readings; intelligence and wisdom; and especially marriage and pregnancy. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
B’atz—the nawal of time, bonds, and creativity—meets the worldly, familial, and disciplined traits of Power 6 today. Governing partnerships and the unfolding lessons of time, B’atz weaves people and experiences into the living tapestry of history. With the grounded properties of 6, anchoring us in responsibility and structure, this day highlights the intricate web of duties, goals, and relationships that shape our lives. 6 B’atz invites us to manage our connections and worldly affairs with both creative vision and disciplined structure.
Landing at the heart of the transformative Kame Trecena, 6 B’atz reminds us that great change unfolds within the micro-moments of steady and conscious participation—even within the most mundane tasks. This day speaks to the weaving of daily actions, choices, and intentions into the broader fabric of self-mastery. It can serve as a balancing point, where the large-scale changes we seek to manifest begin to align with the quiet rhythms of our day-to-day routines, and the quality of our connections.
B’atz can also surface distractions—revealing where our ‘monkey-mind’ pulls us away from presence and purpose. The physical, center-axis of 6 encourages us to return to the body and focus on the next step before us, guiding us to consciously disentangle from the knots of overthinking, worry or anxiety. In doing so, we embody the space to be present, welcome new ideas, and surrender gracefully to what is unfolding—the gift of Kame.
The creative and beautifying spark of B’atz, merged with the grounded discipline of 6, teaches that spiritual transformation is not sudden, but an art rooted in our daily attitudes and actions. Self-mastery is woven slowly, through patience, focus, and the threads we choose to bring into wholeness, moment by moment.

Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
6 B’atz It is important not to confuse the fun loving nature of B’atz with a lack of intelligence, B’atz is a holder of great wisdom. It is not just the arts that B’atz assists with, it is the creation of reality itself.

6 B’atz Waqib’ B’atz’ reminds us that we are each responsible for our own happiness, as we all have the ability to choose how we want to be, how we perceive life, and how we walk through it with love, joy, and wonder.
Our healing doesn’t come from trying to change others; it’s within ourselves where we can work on it and find well-being. It’s from within our own being that we can align with our purpose and life path. –Denise Barrios
