Ajmaq Glyph: The glyph signifies the mind in a state of forgiveness and illumination. It is a brain with rays, lines of expansion, reaching out in all directions. –Carlos Barrios
Ajmaq embodies our connection to the long history of life through evolution, through the millions of years that have elapsed and blessed our planet with the diversity of life we see today, and the sanctity of consciousness, free will, and love. Ajmaq also represents forgiveness, pardon, sin, and pleasure. It is the nawal of all faults and vices. But it also symbolizes gifts and Mother Earth, and is the nawal of the Earth itself. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Today’s nawal of aura, curiosity, and reconciliation harmonizes with Power 9’s subtle planes. Ajmaq guides us into our essence and self-discovery, while 9 helps us sense and feel our internal world. 9 Ajmaq marks a potent day for introspection, helping us attune to our cyclical nature and the nectar of deeper awareness.
As we nurture our seeds, growth, and projects under the influence of the Q’anil Trecena, 9 Ajmaq calls for a moment of inner silence–the act of simply witnessing and sensing without interpretation. In creating this auric space, its energy then invites us to cleanse and polish our inner landscapes.
Ajmaq, signifying the veil of fog that obscures our vision of truth, reminds us that aspects of our growth, intentions, and collaborations are not always fully visible or clear. Finding clarity may require clearing the air of resentments, guilt, and shame, so these energies do not become weeds that crowd out potential, drain energy, and therefore, impede the healthy growth of crops.
Combined with 9’s creative and intuitive processes, Ajmaq aids us in clarifying our vision by reflecting on events, words, and actions, and how they impact our development. Circumstances today may highlight developments arising from our actions, relationships, and strategies, calling for deeper discernment so we continue nurturing our growth from a place of emotional clarity rather than unthinking blindness or reaction.
9 Ajmaq’s introspective essence also brings awareness to the spark of life within the seeds we’ve planted–our intent. It reminds us that growing a bountiful harvest requires us to ensure the fertilizers and elements we feed our crops are just as important as the seeds themselves.

Bee Spirit Animal:
The bee is the great pollinator. These magical insects facilitate the explosion of radiant, colorful, and quickening plant life every spring. Bee totem is a thriving and busy auspice. It is the energy to connect things together that seek each other but have no other means to connect.
Negative bee totem carries a signal of overextension. This may manifest in either an exhaustion which yearns for isolation or a hyperactivity that cannot find the limits for stopping - an indicator to remember where your energy levels are and establish better boundaries. –Bryjna Magnusson
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
9 Ajmaq:
When the energy of Ajmaq emerges, it opens a space filled with strength and wisdom that allows us to find forgiveness. B’elejeb’ Ajmaq encourages us to empathize with our own processes, to view ourselves with more compassion, so that the love and understanding we offer to others can also be extended to ourselves.Its energy reminds us that the unconsciousness we might have had in the past, every experience we have gone through, has been the fertile ground for the seed within us to bloom. We are all on a path of learning, and it is through what we have lived that we transform. B’elejeb’ Ajmaq guides us to forgive ourselves, to look at our wounds with sweetness and gratitude, recognizing that our inner growth has been possible thanks to the curiosity that led us to explore, to err, and to learn. –Denise Barrios
9 Ajmaq:
Today is a day to make peace with your life. It combines the spirit of forgiveness with the number of the feminine and life. If you have been holding guilt over, or blame towards, any particular woman, today is the day to forgive and move on.The energy of resentment is probably having a greater effect on you rather than her, holding you back from progressing. This applies not just to the women in your life, but the feminine aspect of life in general.
It is a day to forgive yourself for the things in life you would rather leave in the past. Light a candle and allow the flame to burn away any guilt surrounding any past actions. As the candle burns and cleans your life, feel the other aspect of Ajmaq arriving. Allow Ajmaq to bring sweetness of redemption into your life. –Mark Elmy
