I’x: Signifying the creative forces in the universe, I’x is the day of high magic. This energy develops higher powers. Great magicians and prophets are born under its auspices.
It provides innate intuition and curiosity. It is particularly favorable for divination. Psychic powers and abilities are favored on this day.
Of all the signs, I’x expands the mind the most, providing strength to reach the highest level of consciousness. This strength, combined with mental acuity, benefits the highest levels of mysticism. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
I’x, the nawal of mysticism, subtle planes, and inner learning, reaches a pivotal point today with Power 7, balancing and expanding our perception into new possibilities. The visionary essence of 7 calls for important decisions or final steps in our commitments and strategies, while the fertile, blossoming qualities of I’x strengthen and fertilize our growth throughout the Trecena of Q’anil.
Both I’x and 7 embody perspective and introspection, inviting us to integrate key insights as we tend to our goals and discern which circumstances are ripe for release. This combination calls for balancing receptivity with creativity, empowering us to explore our inner landscapes as we close out cycles and patterns that limit our sense of spiritual and material wealth.
The earthy, mystical traits of I’x, met with the higher perspective of 7, remind us that greater realities exist beyond the conditioned eye, calling us to attune to nature’s intelligence and its creative forces to discover what is truly possible for us in this lifetime. This day reminds us that we are fractals of this natural intelligence and that hidden powers reside within us. I’x helps us access these powers through the subtle, feminine side of consciousness, and today, attunement to psycho-spiritual realms, synchronicity, and intuitive sensitivities is especially supported.
I’x, also governing material wealth, brings instinctual awareness to our resources and how they are used within the context of growth and achievement guided by the Q’anil Trecena. The power of 7 adds symmetry and proportion to this perspective, calling us to ensure that our material gains and energetic investments are empowering rather than depleting.
As an apex of strength, 7 I’x inspires the unwinding of conditioned, logic-oriented thinking, allowing us to access new levels of potential for growth and development. The circumstances we encounter today, in relation to our aspirations, can ignite hidden truths and spark a passionate drive to claim what we wish to achieve.

Jaguar Spirit Animal:
When Jaguar comes to you as a Spirit Animal, prepare for revelation.
Jaguar is a gatekeeper to the mystical and ways of awakening your soul to its real purpose and power. While Jaguar’s messages are often jarring, this Spirit Animal’s approach is secretive and stealthy. You will feel Jaguar on the edge of your awareness before an actual encounter in your meditations or dreams.
Patience is another gift from Jaguar Spirit Animal. There is a time to move, and a time to wait and breathe. Breathing centers you while waiting conserves your energy.
Jaguar helps you remain conscious of how you use your resources, so you are ready to pounce when the time comes. Remain confident while you engage in whatever life hands you. -Bernadette King
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
7 I’x
When we trust ourselves and listen to our intuition, we align with a deeper sense of purpose and connection.But what does it mean to trust ourselves? It means to return to our true essence, to listen to our bodies, to honor our feelings, and to follow our instincts. It means that we are so connected to who we are, so aware of our power and worth, that we navigate life with clarity and confidence, knowing that our inner strength is always present.
The Q’anil trecena gifts us with the understanding that, like a seed, we hold within us a potential ready to be awakened. –Denise Barrios
7 I’x
It is said that both Ix and the number 7 are connected with the seven shames; excessive pride, ambition, envy, lying, criminal activity, ingratitude, and ignorance. This is a day on which it is possible that these shames may be closer to the surface, when they may be more obvious in others, or more tempting to choose.
However, if the day is approached from the positive aspect, it can be a day on which we may experience the magic of the spirit of the Earth all around us. Her beauty may be very evident, especially if you are open to it.It is a day when the natural altars – springs, caves, overhangs and mountaintops – are particularly energized and open to our gratitude for all that we have received from Mother Earth.
All that is required is to make a decision between the needs of the self and the needs of the world. –Mark Elmy
