The energy of this day

In the K'iche' highland tradition, Kawok is held as rain and sometimes as storm, closely linked to the image of the midwife who tends the new into life. You might sense today how something you have carried for a long while is being washed away. The Eleven moves your sign: its power grows restless and wants to loosen.

Nawal

Nawal, one of the 20 day-signs of the Maya calendar. Each nawal carries its own energy and a hand-drawn glyph, your birth nawal describes the keynote you arrive in the world with.

Tone (number)

Tone (number), the number from 1 to 13 that accompanies each day-sign. It colours the nawal's energy, from the quiet One to the full Thirteen.

Core message

Something wants to move through you today like a rain that washes away what has outlived itself. You do not have to hold on to everything, and you do not have to carry everyone else's troubles. Let the movement come, sense what wants to loosen, and trust that the cleansing serves what is coming.

In brief

Kawok is the energy of the rain that washes away what has outlived itself and makes room for the new. The Eleven moves your sign: its power grows restless and wants to loosen.

The Maya Cross

Four further energies surround your day to form the Maya Cross, childhood, the right and left hand, and the energy of the future.

11 Kawok

Where you stand now

The centre of the cross is your core, the energy you are most fully arriving in right now. In the K'iche' highland tradition it is the steady ground that everything else arranges itself around, and it stays with you for life even as other winds move through. This is the place to ask what, in this season, genuinely feels like you.

3 B'atz

Where you come from

This arm holds your earliest root, the energy of childhood and of the world you were born into. In the K'iche' highland tradition it is strongest at the start and quietly ebbs over the years, yet it stays as the ground beneath everything that grows later. It can invite you to look with warmth on what shaped you from the very beginning.

5 Aj

How you act

The right hand is your outward, doing power, the part of you that takes hold of things and becomes visible in the world. In the K'iche' highland tradition it is the practical, physical side that sets things in motion and gives them shape. It can show you the kind of action through which you most naturally express yourself.

4 Kan

How you receive

The left hand is your receptive, quiet side, your sensing, your imagination, the part you feel more than you do. In the K'iche' highland tradition it is the intuitive, creative power that listens inward. It can invite you to trust what stirs in you without needing many words.

6 Kej

What you grow toward

This arm holds the energy of your elder years, the ripened strength you grow toward with time. In the K'iche' highland tradition it builds later in life and stands for the wisdom and calm that can come once much has already been lived. It can offer you a gentle sense of the maturity you may unfold into.
