K’at Glyph: The glyph signifies the energy of gravity. It is represented by the sphere, trapped in the groove at the bottom, which divides the base into the two magnetic poles. –Carlos Barrios
K’at: Within its vast body of meaning, K’at signifies the Net, in all of the diversity of senses of the word: a fisherman’s net, a woven net of fruits or vegetables, a network, a spider’s web.
In addition, it is the patron of storerooms and pantries and refers to the gathering of resources; and finally, it carries the concepts of captivity, punishment, social traps, and lawsuits.
K’at is the nawal of fire, namely that which keeps a home running, and of prisons both visible and invisible, material and intangible. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
K’at—nawal of the net, collection, and entanglement—rises with the summit view of Power 7 today. Gathering what has accumulated, K'at shows both the gifts and the weight of all we hold, revealing what contains or limits freedom. 7 brings balance and visionary clarity, helping us evaluate with fair judgment from a higher perspective. On 7 K’at, insights and resources are joined, while also marking a time for closure—to see what's ripe and ready for release. Woven into the purifying and precise incisions of the Tijax Trecena, 7 K’at marks a culminating point, inviting discerning action about what must be sacrificed for a higher vision or purpose. This day evokes the image of a knotted thread—tangled with both gifts and burdens—ready to be severed by the healing blade. It speaks to the need for reflective, patient, and intentional action to release what no longer serves, disentangling oneself from excess and clearing the way ahead. Decisive acts of purification and release, inspired by Tijax, open the way for new possibilities and renewed understanding.
At its highest, this day is about seeing clearly from a place of spiritual strength and warrior-like wisdom—drawing on inner authority and past insights, while embracing the courage to cut away whatever creates imbalance or weighs down the future journey ahead. It is a time to integrate accumulated wisdom with a readiness to act, clearing the path so future possibilities can unfold–even if we're unsure what these potentials hold.
The attractive spirit of K’at reflects the strength found in unity—much like the spider’s web, forming a purposeful net that draws in the nourishment needed for growth and abundance. Yet, the web also reminds us to be aware of unconscious traps or greedy entanglements. As a sign of reunion, magnetism, and the weaving of resources, this day calls us to recognize our support systems and bring them together to help with important decisions, and to see the full, symmetrical pattern of what nurtures our growth and liberation.

The spider's meticulous and patient nature, combined with its ability to build complex, beautiful structures from its own essence, symbolizes infinite creative potential and the art of manifestation. For these reasons, the spider spirit is often invoked to aid in creative projects, to weave a new path, or to gain a deeper understanding of the patterns of one's life.
Across various Central and South American indigenous beliefs, the spider is revered for its sacred knowledge and its role as a powerful spiritual guide. In Aztec culture, spiders were sometimes linked to deities of weaving and creation, reinforcing their role as master artisans of reality.In the Amazon, the spider's geometric webs are seen as representations of sacred cosmic patterns and the complex structure of the universe.
The spider’s energy teaches the importance of both patience and precision, reminding us that we are the sole creators of our own existence. It ultimately stands as a symbol of the power to manifest, connect, and build the world we wish to inhabit.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
7 K’at Whether we see it as a day of merchants taking the produce to market, of social gatherings or brainstorming sessions,K’at has a tendency to multiply what it comes into contact with. This is how it creates abundance, just as planting one kernel of maize results in one or more cob of 600 kernels.
Additionally, the number 7 represents finality, the end of whatever it is associated with. Here we can see this as representing the final gathering, the end or outcome of something that was planted 260 days ago.
This is the day to finalize deals and projects you have been working on for some time and reap the benefit.
However, from the vantage point of the top of the pyramid, the question might be where to start the harvest. It will not matter, the possibility of gathering abundance on this fortuitous day is so high that you may find your net full before you have finished.
Just ensure that you know how to move forward once you have collected your harvest, you might find it too easy to overfill your net and your abundance may become a burden. With that in mind, the other side of K’at comes forward, the power to release yourself from that which ensnares you.
The finality of the number 7 also suggests that this is a very appropriate day to release yourself from that which holds you back once and for all, as truly befits our journey through the Tijax trecena. –Mark Elmy
7 K’at The energy of K’at reminds us that the nets that trap us and prevent us from moving forward are usually created by ourselves, which means that we also hold the power to tear them down.
The wisdom of the number Wuqub’ (7) reminds us that life is not a competition, that working on our development does not mean that our effort should be that of being better than anyone else, but that of building within ourselves, of being comfortable with who we are and becoming the free and complete beings we are meant to be.
Let us make working on our inner maintenance a priority, knowing that the harmony of our being is not found in fighting the situations or people around us, all that only drains our energy and entraps us in states that do not allow our inner growth.
Today let us dedicate to ourselves the time we deserve, let us remember that we are the ones who nurture our development.–Denise Barrios
