Tz’i Glyph: This glyph signifies the staff used by indigenous authorities, as well as a dog’s tail. It is spiritual law that cannot be bought or sold.
Tz’i is spiritual law and the law of man. It is the guardian of material and spiritual law. It represents those who govern on a local or national level. It represents spiritual authorities and the straight path. It is justice and the day that brings truth to light.
It symbolizes fidelity, order, and precision and is represented by the cosmic authorities whose energy is on the Earth, whether in the form of people or places. Tz’i also means dog, which acts as a secretary, assistant, and adviser. This is the Creator’s representative on Earth who is in charge of applying and enforcing justice. –Carlos Barrios
Diana’s Observations:
Today, the nawal of law, guidance, and intuition aligns with the feminine, sensitive, and nourishing essence of Power 9. This day highlights the subtle sensations and instincts guiding our self-discovery and keeping us on the right path. Influenced by the expressive and imaginative qualities of the Iq’ Trecena, this day is filled with creative potential to shape our destiny through the harmonic tones of our true personal expression.
A key to follow today is the "Authority of the heart" – making choices and changes based on subtle cues driven by desires true to the self. This day invites us to feel into the internal balance needed to fulfill our current ideas and manifest our dreams. It calls us to engage with ideas and instincts that spark excitement, creating authentic communication between our innate creativity and personal sovereignty.
Changes brought by the Trecena of Iq’ may manifest today as inspiration, impacts, and effects that come from women, or our personal artistic and emotional nature. 9 Tz’i allows us to sense the inner spiritual guide helping us define our identity and purpose through our instincts, choices, tastes, and aspirations.
Developing our intuition and instincts to refine our self-authority is supported by this day's essence. Iq’ reminds us that this process involves purifying our thoughts and cultivating authentic dialogue with the self, emphasizing the alignment of mind and heart.
With 9 Tz'i, the renewal and revitalization offered by the Iq’ Trecena unfolds as an inner, emotional process, guiding us to understand our path, unlock our full potential, and cultivate unwavering faith in our personal desires and choices.
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering
is worse than the suffering itself.
And that no heart has ever suffered
when it goes in search of its dreams,
because every second of the search
is a second's encounter with God
and with eternity.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
9 Tz’i
The day 9 Tz’i can be seen as a day about having faith in life. Sometimes to strengthen our faith in life, it may be tested.
As we move through this trecena of Iq’, highlighting changes and communication, this is a day to seek out guidance for your life path, which may come especially from women.The day 9 Tz’i is a day of loyalty to the women in your life and a day to show your unconditional love for them. It may also be a day to seek justice, particularly for women or issues affecting them. –Mark Elmy
9 Tz’i
Tz’i’ is the Ch’umil that represents the divine laws that govern existence, those that hold us when we choose to walk with respect, coherence, and truth. In this trecena of Iq’, its energy reminds us of the importance of listening to ourselves honestly and making space for that voice that comes from a deeper place than the mind—the voice of our inner wisdom.This day invites us to live from that place and remember that no one is more qualified than we are to make decisions about our existence. We are not here by chance; the energy with which we were born is perfect. It offers us the gifts, challenges, and tools needed to walk our evolutionary path and become the unique beings we came here to manifest.
B’elejeb’ Tz’i’ reminds us that being human is not a limitation, but a sacred opportunity. –Denise Barrios
Dog Spirit Animal:
“Awareness”, “Loyalty”, “Power to Protect”, “Fidelity”, “Unconditional Love”
Dog medicine has a different meaning than wolves; they represent loyalty. It is an animal that has been uniquely, genetically domesticated by humans. The totem medicine for dogs is legitimate in meaning but its medicine has been disciplined into it by humans, and thus has altered its wild metaphor.
The dog is a servant to another creature, which is noble and universally selfless. It has become dependent as an exchange. Serving others is a means for increasing happiness as well as achieving goals such as resources, education, or partnership.
When dog totem comes to you, remember where you have placed your allegiances, ask yourself how dependent you are, and how balanced your exchanges are.
It may be time to become loyal or serve another as long as the trade-off is fair, honest, and clear. It is a reminder that loyalty is healthy when it increases the autonomy and sovereignty of our being. -Brynja Magnusson
