We can see this as a day to breathe life into our dreams, although this is rather an understatement. It is the creation and nurturing of life itself, brought through from the other world. -Mark Elmy

Imox Glyph: This glyph signifies a glass of water. The top part is the mouth where it is filled up, and the vertical lines represent its roundness. Imox also represents the rain. –Carlos Barrios
Imox puts the mind in a receptive mode, increases spiritual strength, and manages the energies of change. It provides the power to understand nature’s messages in order to plan the next steps in one’s life.
Imox means the essence in every sense of the word. It is everything that corresponds to the left side, the subtle part of humans. It is the unusual and eccentric. We need a positive equilibrium on this day because it could lead to lunacy.It is lizards or crocodiles, the energy that manifests the hidden or internal side of humans, the powers that are dormant. It is the power that keeps ideas together, the strength of our mind. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Imox, nawal of water, undercurrents, and change, swirls today with the feminine force of Power 9. Linked to the left side, dreams, and the abstract, Imox awakens spiritual and dormant powers, while the essence of 9 amplifies its intuitive, visionary, and shifting effects. The convergence of 9 Imox marks a day of dynamic change, inviting us to nurture visionary states as we flow with its transformative energies.
Representing the mind’s strength and heightened sensitivity in weaving ideas, Imox—at its highest potential—stirs deep insights and intuitive powers that rise from the hidden realms of the psyche. Guided by the rectifying and multiplying influence of the Aj Trecena, 9 Imox becomes a wellspring for fertile visions and magical insights, especially those rooted in intentions to heal, restore balance, and prosper. On this day, the currents of imagination and renewal flow freely, nourishing personal growth, harmonious family life, and fruitful collaborations.
While 9 Imox can inspire profound creativity and vision, it may also amplify disorder and overwhelm. The gushing waters of Imox, combined with the irrational impulses of 9, can generate turbulent energy lacking structure and direction. Without grounding its dreamy nature in practical action, one risks becoming lost in a sea of daydreams or emotional currents. The structural strength of Aj helps restore and refine the pillars of our lives, stabilizing Imox’s unrest by returning our focus to our highest priorities.
Ultimately, 9 Imox is a day of change, shaking up stagnant structures. To maintain a sense of balance within its shifting tides, our response to change becomes essential. As Aj’s grandfatherly wisdom guides us to tend to and strengthen our foundational structures, this day may test what we’ve learned in the mental and emotional landscapes of daily life. It encourages us to cultivate tranquility within our own waters of emotion, to think before reacting, and to listen with sensitivity. By meeting this day with temperance and an open mind, we become receptive to the fertile blessings of change in our lives.

Crocodile Spirit Animal:
Ancient beliefs hold the Crocodile protects ancient knowledge and wisdom that reaches back to our primal DNA and beyond. Crocodile is not easily fooled and brings a lesson of patience, particularly during new beginnings.
One of the interesting, defining characteristics of Alligator and Crocodile is that their eyes are on top of their heads. Metaphysically this implies the gift of sight – perhaps future-telling, clairvoyance, the ability to see Angelic spirits, etc.
Alligator and Crocodile both work with water energy, which represents our emotions, particularly those we hide from the world. Alligator Medicine works toward embracing those feelings and working through them honestly.
All humans have an inner well of wisdom combined with the collective unconscious that guides us through this process with the Crocodile Spirit standing by ready. –Bernadette King
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
9 Imox:
In some ways, there can be no purer expression of feminine potential than the day 9 Imox. Imox is the font of life, possibly the egg, possibly the womb, depending on how you look at it.
Whilst Imox has its reputation for getting lost in the dream world, it also represents the place from where all things come. When this is combined with the number of life and the divine feminine, we can expect great things.
The 9 represents both the feminine and is seen as the number of life itself. It is a day to look to the women around us to help us all to navigate the collective consciousness without being pulled into its dreamy depths.
If you have a life dream and you are wondering how to bring it into reality, today you might ask the advice of the women in your life how best to nurture it. –Mark Elmy9 Imox:
The times we live in now can be challenging since everything moves very fast. There is much noise, many distractions, and a lot of division, so it can be difficult to find moments of presence and connection with our being and with what surrounds us.However, this trecena invites us to be more in touch with who we are, with our body, with our physical and energetic self as the channel that connects us to life. Today, B’elejeb’ Imox reminds us that within us we carry the compass that guides us on our path and that the body communicates with us through sensations and emotions.
Some messages are easier to understand and embrace, like the happiness or excitement we feel about something. But also our sadness, our anger, or our apathy towards something speak to us if we pay attention and observe where they guide us.Instead of avoiding the energy of our emotions, we should use it to grow. If we feel something, let us take a moment to observe what emotion we are experiencing: anger, frustration, joy, gratitude, guilt, or fear. Let us listen to these emotions, knowing they are speaking to us and guiding us. They are a gift to recognize ourselves and to walk our path. –Denise Barrios

Feminine creativity at the fore today. I've successfully appointed a talented female Colombian journalist and content creator to join my team at work. My latest Substack based on the visions I received at the weekend from the feminine nature spirits is being amplified, and despite a mildish migraine (for me) feel the force of major shifts at home which are for ultimate benefit and harmonious relations.
" Woman • Feminine • Subtlety • Realization • Cycles. . ." Love this energy today. I had my birthday a couple weeks ago and have felt really empowered with new ideas and plans. A new cycle and realization.
