The energy of this day

In the K'iche' highland tradition, B'atz is the thread, the weaving, the craft of the artisan. This energy joins the threads of time into a fabric and offers a natural gift for everything creative, whether painting, music or storytelling. The Ten reaches out your sign's hand: its energy seeks what is carried together.

10 B'atz

Chuwen

West· Black

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 in you wants to be woven today, thread by thread, with care and with play. You do not have to hold every thread at once. Notice which single thread is running through your hands just now, and follow it with joy rather than wanting to see the whole pattern finished at once.

In brief

B'atz invites you to weave the threads of your reality the way you wish them to be. The Ten reaches out your sign's hand: its energy seeks what is carried together.

Whom do I leave room to weave differently or more slowly than I do?
Which small knot is asking to be patiently loosened today?

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.

10 B'atz

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.

2 Aq'ab'al

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.

4 Kan

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.

3 No'j

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.

5 Kawok

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.
