7 E’ gives us the opportunity to cross the finish line, to complete a journey and to see where the next path might take us. It is time to take the final steps and to choose out our next journey. -Mark Elmy

E’ in K’iche’ Maya, represents the Road, the Saq B’e or the sacred path that we all travel on our quest for self-fulfillment and realization. This is the path of destiny, the road we travel to develop, discover, and evolve our personal history and future imprinting; it is also the activity and movement of travel, moving us toward our horizon, our goals and aims in life. It is the connection between people, places, dimensions, and worlds. E’ is the patron of travelers, protector of merchants, and the nawal of all roads and road guides. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
E’, the nawal of travel, action, and destiny, moves with the balancing and conclusive nature of Power 7 today. E’ encompasses our life path, the aspirations that call to us, and the energy that fuels our journey into new territories. Meanwhile, 7 offers perspective and insight gained through the closing of cycles, as well as the emergence of new thresholds and beginnings. 7 E’ invites us to gather the wisdom of where we’ve been—integrating the many routes we’ve taken—and to step forward decisively, with renewed clarity and awareness.
As we move through the thresholds shaped by the energy of 7 and the transformative theme of the Kame Trecena, 7 E’ supports the release of what no longer serves. It reminds us that certain burdens, habits, or relationship dynamics cannot follow us into the next phase. 7 E’ can be seen as a symbolic death—a moment to honor the paths that shaped us, while finding the courage to step forward, lighter and more aligned with our evolving purpose. A cycle, circumstance, or way of being is ready to complete, clearing space for a new path to emerge.
Today’s 7 E’ may also bring us to a crossing—where diverging paths or challenging decisions call for thoughtful choice. The number 7 is a sacred force of harmony, proportion, and reflection, inviting pause and consideration for where our actions and intentions are truly leading us, with foresight and awareness of consequences. It invites us to evaluate what remains unfulfilled in our plans—not with judgment, but through the clarity of insight—advising us on what must be measured, moderated, or finally released.
At this threshold, 7 calls for discernment—inviting curiosity as we address what feels unresolved or incomplete. This helps us orient our intentions and decisions, moving forward with confidence and clarity. With the purposeful energy of E’ and the guidance of today’s Bobcat guardian, we may be shown what lies hidden or unrealized along our path. Whether standing at a crossroads or feeling the subtle tug of redirection, 7 E’ encourages a conscious choice—to advance with heightened attention to the path that truly reflects who we are, and where we're meant to go.

Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
7 E’ When we have journeyed through life, there is no doubt we have accumulated knowledge, understanding and perhaps even wisdom through our experiences. The path never really ends, one journey will always lead to another.
However, we may come to a point where a particular stage comes to a culmination. In the physical journey this is obvious, we reach our destination, possibly the top of the mountain. But when we get to the top of the mountain, what do we see? Possibilities of new journeys as we are able to see all the paths leading to other mountains.
We might rest and enjoy the view for a while as we consider our options, but it is essential that that we move on. To do this we need to make a decision on our direction using the experience of the path we just completed to guide us.
From the top of the mountain, the end of the (ascending) path, we can see everywhere we went, and everything we experienced, on our journey to get there. Our successes and failures, out defeats and our victories, our tears and our smiles.Today is a day of bringing closure to a part of our life, a journey that has been completed.–Mark Elmy
7 E’ Each day we traverse opens us to the opportunity to witness different landscapes, connect with new learnings, reclaim our power, explore, and immerse ourselves in experiences that transform our knowledge into wisdom.
On this powerful day, Ajaw Wuqub’ [7] E invites us to recognize our destiny and choose our path.
Its convergence with the trecena of Kame reminds us to trust in each cycle of our lives, as every experience that arises along the way is part of our perfect journey through this existence. –Denise Barrios
