Toj Glyph: The glyph represents a wheel and its axis. It represents Grandfather Sun and his strength. It is a circle, symbolizing the law of cause and effect. –Carlos Barrios
Toj: A sign of harmony, balance, and equilibrium, Toj embodies not only the power, freedom, and inner peace that these states of grace carry, but also all of the struggles and challenges we go through to achieve and maintain them in our lives.
It is, in a word, the sign of karma, the sign of payment and the energy of the law of action and reaction that the concept of karma carries. It also represents offering, payment, fines, and debt. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Today’s nawal of atonement, gratitude, and restoration combines with themes of integration, closure, and an elevated perspective. Toj signifies not only debts and payments but also holds an anatomical connection to the human ears, emphasizing the importance of listening, helping, and understanding.
Toj serves as the bridge we create between error or ignorance and the liberation that justice, clarity, love, and unity bring. Its combination with the energy of 7 may guide us towards a final, integrative step across this bridge, synthesizing the experiences and lessons we've gathered during this Trecena to clarify our path forward.
7 Toj collects our final payments, reflecting the price of our choices and achievements. The Aq’ab’al Trecena reminds us of both conscious and unconscious actions that have either advanced or hindered our growth. This day marks a time to reflect on and accept the sacrifices made for our growth, while also acknowledging and mending the ego-driven impulses that may have temporarily derailed us from our path towards maturity and balance.
While the Aq’ab’al Trecena illuminates pathways of growth through duality, today’s 7 Toj offers a higher perspective to restore balance between the graceful and challenging aspects of our lives. Both 7 and Toj embody balance. Whether our path of learning calls for rest and replenishment or decisive action, today we’re invited to make any final and necessary sacrifice to restore neutrality and liberate ourselves from any density of the past.
Within the mythology of this day, Toj represents the payment to Creator and Former and to Mother Earth for all the benefits and tests they provide. When the four Jaguar men made their offerings towards the sunrise, they expressed gratitude for the new dawn.
This day teaches us to cultivate gratitude for every new opportunity and to delicately temper the force of duality in our life experiences. Through acts of gratitude and acknowledgment, we soften the stark contrasts between our differences, the known and unknown, and the difficult and easeful.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
7 Toj To come to a state of harmony within the world that we live, balance must be achieved.
Toj days remind us to keep our promises, to make our payments in whatever form they might take. They might be physical or financial, or they might be words of gratitude, whether to our physical providers or to our environment. These simple acts help to keep us healthy, it is in our own interests to make these exchanges, to return what we have used.
It could even be a day to comb through your affairs and search for anything you may have forgotten. Payments made today may give rise to a greater benefit than you realize. –Mark Elmy
7 Toj Being alive is both a miracle and a gift. Our journey through this existence is a unique opportunity to explore ourselves in countless ways, yet we often find ourselves longing to be somewhere else, wishing we could skip parts of the path or avoid those moments of discomfort that can hold great power.
Even challenges can bring the clarity and strength we need, and new ways to understand love or compassion. Life isn’t just black and white—there’s magic in every experience, and we are fortunate to be here to live it, to move through every part of the process that shapes our dreams.
Today, Wuqub’ Toj reminds us to focus on the blessings within each moment, to connect with the awareness that allows us to find gratitude in everything, and to honor existence by fully living it as a sacred space where every moment holds meaning. –Denise Barrios
Puma brings harmony and certainty when life is full of chaos and restlessness. It gives you greater control over your energy. It helps you to walk a balanced life between assertiveness and gentleness. It drives you to have a firm conviction.
Puma-spirited individuals are born with the gift to move silently. Just like the mammal, you maintain a subtle movement without making people aware of your thoughts and actions. They are excellent listeners and observer which help you to be able to notice things that other people may overlook. Puma as an animal totem signifies power, instinct, and self-consciousness.
What karmic debts or imbalances am I ready to address and resolve from a place of higher understanding? Where in my life can I soften the contrasts between opposites through acts of gratitude and acknowledgment?
