Haab’: Job’ (5) Tz’itilaqam
Solar Month Meaning: Tz’itilaqam continues to call for truth, balance, and justice in community and spirit. The number 5 in this solar count supports action through right relationship with others and the elements.
Today’s Ch’umilab’
Kej is the Nahual of nature, balance, spiritual authority, and harmony with the four elements. It is the guardian of sacred forests and herbal wisdom, and often symbolizes the Deer—strong, graceful, yet grounded. Kej brings connection with Earth as a living being and encourages leadership through service, not control.
The number 8 (Wajxaqib’) is a powerful day for ceremony, balance, and honoring the spiritual forces. It represents the heart of the sacred calendar, a day to give thanks and make offerings for what has been received and what is to come.
In the trecena of Ajpu, today is a ceremonial turning point—a moment to ground the light of Ajpu into the body, into the Earth, and into service.
What to Look Out For:
Deep desire to reconnect with nature or your spiritual practice.
The need for boundaries—between self and others, or between effort and rest.
Feelings of being overly responsible or depleted from supporting others.
A strong pull toward ancestral or elemental teachings.
How to Align with Today’s Energy:
Spend intentional time in nature—forest, park, garden, mountain, or even with a single plant. Listen.
Make an offering to the Earth: water, flowers, your breath, your attention.
Reflect on where your leadership lies—are you leading through balance or control?
Light a candle and call in the four directions. Offer gratitude for the elements: fire, water, air, and earth.
Today is ideal for ceremonies of thanksgiving and healing with the land.
Body Experience:
Governing body part: Spine and overall connection to nature’s body.
Practice spine-lengthening stretches or gentle yoga to support your core alignment.
If you feel drained or heavy, reconnect to your body through movement, rest, and nourishment.
Herbal support (teas or baths with plants like rosemary, ruda, or laurel) may help reset your energy field.
Final Thought:
Kej teaches that strength does not come from domination, but from harmony. On this sacred day of 8, give thanks for the stability and beauty of the natural world, and for your role in tending it. Let your body be the altar. Let your walk be the prayer.
