I’x Glyph: The glyph signifies the heart of the planet, the feminine reproductive organs, the face of a jaguar, and points on the map of Mother Earth. –Carlos Barrios

---

I'x embodies the feminine, creative, and reproductive source of the universe, as well as the strength, vitality, and spirit of Mother Earth. Represented by the jaguar, I'x guards the natural balance of jungles, hills, plains, and mountains, capturing the totality and raw essence of the blossoming world. It encompasses the bioenergetic field and electromagnetic currents flowing through our planet.

Its essence dwells in Mayan natural shrines, where one communes with and offers gratitude to Earth. Healing, mystical, and scientific pursuits flourish under its auspices. I'x carries and potentiates a primal, materializing vigor, moving with sharpness, potency, agility, and magnetism.

As a symbol of the night and the underworld, I'x conveys the corrupt, dark unconscious of humanity as much as it reveals the potential to harmonize with the natural world—both earthly and human. This duality highlights balance, emphasizing agile navigation between darkness and light to achieve right relationship with the whole of life. –Diana P.

1 I’x

Today is Jun (1) I’x, kicking off a new Trecena (13-day cycle theme).

1 is birth and beginnings.
Reinvigorating one’s intuitive, magnetic nature, this is a time to listen deeply to the body’s cues and to ask for the agility and strength needed to make the seemingly impossible possible.

I’x reflects the jaguar’s bold willingness to take calculated risks, drawing on attained resources, power, and wisdom. This time encourages embodying the jaguar’s strategic, opportune timing in its hunting—refining the instinctual process of when to pause and observe, and when to strike and seize emerging opportunities.

With refined sensitivity to right timing and natural signs, one advances in personal growth, relationships, and professional pursuits, cultivating greater efficiency and success. Through conscious participation, this cycle develops sensitivity, inner strength, manifestation, and the establishment of thriving relationships rooted in clarity. –Diana P.

I’x Mesoamerican Mythos

[Excerpts]:
"The day sign I'x is symbolic of the first Four Fathers of humanity, the B'alameb' or Jaguar Men. It was they who guided the people in ancient, primordial times, and who led them upon their migrations or journeys in search of the light; it was they who lit the fires and sang the prayers when the light finally dawned."

“As the day sign of Mother Earth or Mother Nature, I'x represents all such natural altars as well as the vital, earth-centered energy they emanate. It is the primal source that underlies and activates the planet's geomantic grid of power. It is the very body of the Earth Mother."

"Those who keep the Days always set aside a special place or household altar for prayer, meditation, incense, candles, and so on. This is the day to give thanks that we have created such a sacred place in our lives.” 

"It is a day we may fruitfully devote to introspection and meditation, if the opportunity is there. It is also regarded as a favorable day to practice any kind of divination. Since this day sign is filled with so much vitality and strength (the strength of nature itself), it is an excellent day to ask for fortitude, both physical and mental."

Jaguar Spirit Animal:

In Mesoamerican cultures, the jaguar serves as a powerful spirit animal and guardian, symbolizing strength, agility, and the ability to navigate between the physical and spiritual realms. Revered for its prowess as a predator, the jaguar embodies qualities that are essential for survival and success, making it a significant figure in mythology and daily life. Its presence in art and ritual underscores its importance as a representation of power and authority, often associated with the warrior classes.

The jaguar is seen as a guardian of the underworld and a symbol of the night, reflecting its ability to thrive in darkness. This nocturnal nature allows the jaguar to traverse the boundaries between worlds, making it a mediator between the living and the spiritual.

In Mayan mythology, the jaguar is often depicted as a companion to deities, embodying the qualities of ferocity and protection. This connection to the divine reinforces the belief that the jaguar can guide individuals through challenges, helping them confront their fears and navigate the complexities of life.

The jaguar's hunting abilities also highlight the importance of timing and patience, traits that are essential for both the animal and humans seeking to achieve their goals. This understanding of timing is crucial for personal growth and success, emphasizing the need for awareness and adaptability in various situations.
