Strength and stability could be seen as the key messages of today. That energy can be used to lead if necessary, especially in matters of family. –Mark Elmy
6 (Waqib’): Material World • Matter • Strong • Stable • Structure • Body • Learning Balance • Family & Friendship • Reaction • Practice • Routine • Tests • Overcoming • Refining
Kej Glyph: The glyph represents a closed hand creating a circuit of energy that charges the four cardinal points, as represented by the four fingers, boosted by the thumb. –Carlos Barrios
Kej: Embodying stability and balance, Kej is the nawal of the four cardinal points of the Earth and represents the four primary elements of earth, water, fire, and air. It also carries the four states of the human experience and the four colors of humanity: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, and the colors of yellow, white, red, and black.
On Kej days, the Maya pray for harmony throughout the natural world and among all human beings–these are propitious days to ask for strength to avoid betrayal and handle the difficulties in our lives. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Today’s steadfast, stable, and upright essence of the four-legged rides the shifting winds of the Iq’ Trecena. Kej days carry the potential to transform human destiny, while Power 6 anchors its determined energy into the earthly plane – family, home, finances, and body.
This day emphasizes matters close to the heart, as Power 6 resonates with Kej’s focus on foundations and family. 6 Kej offers the firmness and resilience needed to face challenges, take risks, harmonize, and find solutions. With Iq’s mental and vocal expression as its overarching theme, this day presents opportunities to clarify and ground thoughts, ideas, and truth, particularly within the realms of home, family, and close relationships.
6 Kej may reveal dual outcomes tied to freedom of expression: inner challenges addressed from either a place of stability and healthy boundaries or through mismanaged emotions. While Kej embodies stability, its shadow can manifest as stubbornness or excessive determination. Combined with the grounding influence of 6 and the mental clarity of Iq’, Kej encourages us to pursue our goals thoughtfully and with measured determination, avoiding recklessness and potential harm.
Kej, as the guardian of the forests harmonizing humanity and Mother Earth, invites us to connect with and ground ourselves in nature before addressing important matters or making key decisions. As the winds of change blow, 6 Kej inspires balance, leadership, and stability, strongly supporting level-headedness while also reminding us to take full responsibility for our choices and actions.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
6 Kej The trecena of Iq’ proves to live up to its unpredictable nature once again today. We might have experienced challenging days on 3 K’at and 5 Kame. These are favorable days with challenging numbers.
However, the high-energy nawales of Kan and Kej combine with very favorable numbers to bring them stability. Just as 4 Kan brings the wisdom down to Earth, 6 Kej stabilizes strength.
Kej may often be referred to as “deer”, but in the K’ichean dictionary I have it is translated as horse. The energy of Kej certainly has similarities with that of the horse. It has a great capacity to carry with its strength.
However, it can also be stubborn. It has a noble freedom about it and may be difficult to control, giving those who try to do so a wild ride. However, today is different. Today it is possible to bring that strength and determination into clear focus. That energy can be used to lead if necessary, especially in matters of family. Of course, the place where this is felt the most is in the wilderness, where this energy is the greatest. –Mark Elmy
6 Kej Empathy and understanding have limits: they should not come at the expense of our stability.
The lesson that Kej brings us in convergence with the number Waqib’ [6] speaks to the value of finding balance in our relationships. The energies of today remind us of the importance of seeing with empathy, but without allowing it to cloud our clarity.
Being understanding and seeing others’ perspectives doesn’t mean justifying them when they affect our stability or cross our boundaries.
Today is a good day to reflect on how we relate to others. Are we being compassionate without neglecting our boundaries? Do we ensure that the empathy that nourishes our relationships doesn’t compromise our well-being? Are we able to truly see people, in their light but also in their shadows? In our relationships, are we mindful of maintaining our self-care and stability? Today is a good day to remember that to accompany with empathy is to honor both others and ourselves. –Denise Barrios
Stag Spirit Animal: “Masculinity, Connection to the Earth and the Forest, Alertness, Psychic Power, Strength”
The stag is a symbol of vitality, elegance, instinct, maturity regeneration, and spiritual enlightenment. Among the animals, the male deer is revered.
They are wise and seasoned with huge antler crowns on their shoulders that they’ve conquered in life. The male deer are reclusive in nature, and this makes them appear out of nowhere only when we need them the most.
A stag can also be seen as a symbol of strength, power, and authority. The deer’s antlers emblems of male fertility. They are often considered to have wisdom beyond their years due to living longer than human beings.
Stag symbols show up when we need to act on our instincts and trust ourselves in order to get through life’s obstacles. We should not let fear guide us, but rather follow the stag totem and spirit animal guides’ path of strength and power with courage. -Alltotems.com
