The properties of the number 6 can bring stability to the wandering energy of E’, bringing purpose and direction. This is not just a physical journey, there is much more behind it. -Mark Elmy

E’: The development of history is Bat’z and the finish is on Tz’i, but the one that gives force, energy and action for it to be realized is E. E’ symbolizes the path of destiny, which means more of the path than you are able to see with your eyes; because it is the path of life, the guide, the one that takes us to a precise objective point. It is the aspect in life where we find the realization in all situations, aspects and manifestations of life. – Denise Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
E’, the nawal of the path, vocation, and destiny, anchors itself in the material landscape of Power 6 today. E’ propels us toward our objectives and self-realization, while 6 grounds and directs our mission through tangible means. Together, 6 E’ beautifully illustrates living and embodying our life path, fully embracing the material aspects of our journey—body, family, work, finance, and routines.
This day is emblematic of the initiate, merchant, or traveler walking the center of the road. At its highest aspect, it is about seeking knowledge, tangible results, and practical solutions—fueled and stabilized by the determination and maturity of the Kej Trecena. It expresses vitality derived from labor, production, sales, and stewardship of material resources.
In its challenging aspect, 6 E’ can bring restlessness or distraction, calling us to notice where we avoid responsibilities or commitments. Aimlessness can also serve as a cue to realign our energy and direction. At the midpoint of the Kej Trecena, 6 E’ opens routes to advance our mission or make evaluative adjustments in response to obstacles encountered along the way.
The experiential nature of both 6 and E’ points to the literal and figurative signposts that may guide our next steps. Bobcat’s connection to both the physical and spiritual realms reminds us to consider tangible and intangible influences as we assess and center ourselves on the greater journey.
Today is ideal for clarifying one’s purpose and reflecting on what gives meaning to our drive. Traditionally, it is a day to pray for protection over business endeavors and to seek guidance in advancing projects and business relationships. Energizing and pragmatic, 6 E’ encourages us to align with these prayers and, when appropriate, walk the extra mile to achieve our goals.

Bobcat Spirit Animal:
Wildcats like the bobcat are often associated with wisdom, stealth, introspection and spiritual insight. In broader, Mesoamerican beliefs, Bobcat is seen as a creature of keen observation and discernment, constantly observing its surroundings and knowing when to act or retreat.
In broader shamanic traditions, it's considered a wise and ancient soul, often drawn to other old souls on Earth. The bobcat spirit is believed to help navigate life's complexities, especially for those who feel misunderstood due to their deep spiritual knowledge or maturity.
It symbolizes the ability to move through challenges with grace, integrating life lessons along the way. The bobcat's adaptability and connection to both the physical and spiritual realms make it a powerful guide for those seeking to balance their earthly existence with deeper spiritual understanding.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
6 E’
Just as the combination of nawal and number can create challenges, it can also create perfect conditions. The combination of the number of stability with the nawal of the path should give an excellent day for exploration.The energy of the nawal E’ takes us on a voyage of discovery, whether that involves actual physical movement or not. It seeks adventure, and can be known as both a thrill seeker and a risk taker, although E’ is usually known as a benevolent energy.
E’ is certainly a restless energy, and may show up today as a desire for new experiences. However, the combination with the stabilizing energy of the number 6, can be particularly useful when combined with the energy of the nawal E’. It brings the inspiration from both heaven and Earth into the physical realm in order to set its course.
Not only is it guided by a higher perspective, it is also blessed by it, and as such today should be a particularly beneficial day for travel. This too applies to learning and research, all which moves into new areas of understanding and experience. Today is a day to stabilize your life path. –Mark Elmy6 E’
Let us not allow the fear of making a mistake to prevent us from opening ourselves to the opportunity to try.May the awareness that we are walking a path of constant evolution guide us to refrain from negatively judging our decisions or how we understood life at any given moment. Remember that the wisdom we have at each stage of the journey is perfectly suited for our path toward the expansion of our being.
Today, the energies invite us to enjoy every step of the path, making the most of this journey called life. –Denise Barrios
✍🏼 Journal Prompts of the Day:
What lessons from the material world are illuminating my life path?
Are my projects, relationships, and community aligned with and supporting the higher vision for my life path?
How can I align my intentions with practical action today, and where might I be called to go the extra mile to achieve my goals?
Today has been a total shift in experience to the prior five days, it was all about home for me today. I spent the majority of the time with my Polish Princess Julia. We worked on the projects around the house together and talked about the fact that she maybe be interested in doing some midwifing at some point. She brought home a big basket of Sweet Gum balls from an old Sweet Gum Tree. We are going to makes some teas, vinegar's and syrups. We like to experiment in the kitchen with things from nature. It is a lot of fun for us. I did not get to spend a lot time online which was very different. The time I did have online was spent on finding Mark Emly's podcast and downloading all the episodes, that go back about three months. I am looking forward to that for sure. My time in the Pine forest was amazing. I did not get to make my affirmations for today, however I am about to make them now as it is my favorite part of the day. Again, it seemed that it was time for me to slow down and take care of home. Diana, your writing to me is the epitome of elegance and I feel called to share my experience with you doing this wondrous thirteen day journey, sort of like a small online journal experience. You are very valued by me elegant one. Many blessings!
