No’j Glyph: The glyph symbolizes learning. The drawing in the middle represents the brain, and the circles are degrees of increasing human spiritual betterment.
No’j turns knowledge and experience into wisdom. It is the connection between the Universal Cosmic Mind and the human mind–intellect, knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual learning. No’j is the guide to life as long as all experience and knowledge are imparted in wisdom.
People have good ideas but aren’t wise and therefore need to meet as council in order to share them, develop theories, and ask Ajaw for wisdom.
The Elders meet as a council under the protection of No’j. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Today’s nawal No’j, representing intellect and high wisdom, ascends into the elevated perspective of power 7. On this seventh day of the Trecena of B’atz, the creative and innovative threads we’re weaving may now converge at a point of balance and finality.
The key lies in adhering to a plan and concentrating our focus on decision-making. To achieve this, No’j encourages us to quiet our minds, allowing us to direct our thoughts towards integrating the insights we've gathered into a state of closure or accomplishment.
Yesterday’s introspective 6 Ajmaq offered an opportunity to clear the fog from our vision. Today’s 7 No’j guides our creative process through a final step that can bridge our perception of the material aspects of reality with intuitive, magical awareness.
No’j days are marked by a harmonious blend of scientific rigor and intuitive understanding. Power 7 offers us a vantage point from the apex, enabling us to tap into a broader spectrum of possibilities. We can effectively harness this energy today to evaluate our options, balance diverse viewpoints, and ensure that each step of our plans is stable.
Within the overarching themes of healing, spirituality, and artistry inherent in B’atz, today’s 7 No’j may forge a connection between our logic and spirit as we strive to innovate, elevate our purpose in our crafts, and introduce new ideas into the world. No’j teaches us to avoid skipping steps or making hasty decisions without thorough analysis.
One of the highest virtues of No’j is nobility, which manifests as prudence, patience, healing, and profound love. This force facilitates meaningful connections, cultivating synergy in our relationships and inviting magical synchronicities that guide us along our paths. This is an opportune day to unite ideas and develop social projects that can profoundly benefit our families and networks.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
7 No’j
The energy of the day 7 No’j may see knowledge and theories from different sources coalescing to form one combined idea as the plan is finalized.
These plans may be coming from many directions, and it may lead to some confusion as to which ones to develop. This is the day to make the decision, from this vantage point you can see them all for what they are.The problem solving intellect of No’j and the balance and finality of the number 7 should give rise to extremely practical solutions for conclusion.
Within the cycle of the year are many sub-cycles. I often mention the cycle of the trecenas, but here is another, the 20 day cycle. The theme of this 20 day cycle, from 7 No’j to 1 No’j [1.24.2025], should be finishing off one plan or set of ideas so that the new ideas can be born in the future.
So, not only should the energy of today highlight a drive to get things finished off, this should continue for the next 20 days. –Mark Elmy
7 No’j
This day manifests the power contained by Wuqub’ No’j, the Ch’umil of knowledge and wisdom.In the chain of creation, this energy is the one that brings forth the balance between the material reality and the magical reality.
No’j is the power that integrates into our being each new learning, knowledge, and experience that arises from Ajmaq so that we can transform them into wisdom.
No’j has a rational part, the one that gives us logical thinking, but it also has a magical side that teaches us how to handle energies so that we have the power to create our reality. –Denise Barrios
