Kawoq Glyph: The group of spheres represents the members of a family and a group of families that belong to a community. The crosshatching means assistance or collaboration.
Kawoq is family, meetings, group, society, community, country, and continent–anything that can be grouped. It means the strength of unity, greater consciousness, the unfolding of the cosmic plan, growth, fertility.
It is the energy for abundance, in both the material and spiritual sense. It is the energy that brings good harvests. Kawoq symbolizes the woman or the wife and the sacred spiritual staff. It is individuals seen as a unit, and the assumption of an imaginary leadership role. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Kawoq, the nawal of storm and thunder, difficulty and union, centers its dual nature within the structural, material, and familial realm of Power 6. This day signifies the female rod of authority, resolving matters at the heart of home and community.
6 Kawoq’s metaphorical rainstorm and lightning strike within family and social obstacles, facilitating a form of mutual rebirth. At the heart of the I’x Trecena—guiding creative strength and feline agility—this day can bring a flash of illumination, birthing solutions through keen emotional intelligence and perspectives previously unseen. It calls us to uphold the feminine principles of cooperation and support through sharing, and by evaluating what is weak in our connections and communications.
As the feminine guardian of security and wellbeing, Kawoq manages relational obstacles that hinder unity, stability, and shared visions. The essence of 6 points to reaction, refinement, and ultimately overcoming these very obstacles. If met with consciousness, 6 Kawoq can infuse us with versatility, confidence, and creative potential for profound collective growth.
Vested with the powerful, timely, and instinctual traits of I’x, we can navigate challenges and conflicts with patience and a more holistic vision, gaining a deeper understanding of the natural forces and dynamics within relationships. These insights can be used to foster empathy and prosperity, not only in the home but in our professional and collaborative aspirations as well.

The turtle is a significant spirit animal in both Central and North American Native traditions, symbolizing Mother Earth, longevity, and protection. Turtle represents stability and the nurturing qualities of the earth, often associated with the creation myths that highlight its role in forming the land.
Turtles are seen as guardians of the earth, embodying resilience and the ability to endure life's challenges. Their hard shells symbolize perseverance, serving as a reminder of the strength found in grounding oneself and remaining connected to nature.
The turtle also embodies the qualities of patience and introspection. It teaches the importance of taking life at a slower pace, encouraging individuals to reflect on their journeys and appreciate the present moment. This slow and steady approach to life allows for deeper connections with oneself and the environment, for a sense of peace and stability.
By embodying the turtle's wisdom, one can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the journey of life and the interconnectedness of all beings.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
6 Kawoq As we grow into who we are, we also transform the experience we share.
The energy of this day comes to remind us that this is not a time to get lost in conflicts driven by ego. We are here to recognize our magic and power, to integrate them, and to share them with others.
This trecena has been teaching us that each person carries their own strength, a unique gift. And when we understand that by uplifting one another there is no need for competition, our strength multiplies. –Denise Barrios
6 Kawoq If you need to calm your emotions, or bring healing to a situation, this could be a very good day to do it. Allow Kawoq to wash away emotions that are no longer necessary to hold on to, and allow the new to emerge into the world. Use the supportive and stable energy of the day to calm the troubled waters.
The stability of the 6 would suggest that it is a day when the storms are quelled, when the force of the torrent is sufficient to wash away the debris without destroying the useful.
It is a day when the new born receives the blessings from all around. This will apply to new life, in all its guises, and to new projects.
The energy of this day could be hugely supportive of the ideas that you brought into being on the day 4 No’j. It is a wonderful “launch day” for the physical aspect of your plan. –Mark Elmy
