Imox — the water

the water·intuition·what others don't see

You were born on the day of water. The glyph of Imox looks like a brimming jar seen from above, and the animal of the day is the crocodile, which lives its whole life between the riverbank and the riverbed. In the tradition, Imox watches over the seas, the lakes and every place where water runs or gathers. It is also the left side of a person, the side that senses before it understands. That is where your reputation for being different comes from: you often catch what slips past everyone else and, as often as not, you say it out loud.

The strength of Imox

Your strength is noticing. People born on Imox pick up what hangs in the air before anyone speaks: the tension between two colleagues who are still smiling, the shake-up at work you predicted a week before it was announced. In the tradition, this is the day of those who feel forces nobody else sees, with a clean heart and a quick mind. You can misread a room, but deceiving people is rarely your style.

What the Chart tells you about Imox

The reading of Imox continues in the Complete Maya Chart: the shadow, how you deal with people, work and money, what you came to do, your Maya Cross (the four nawales that walk with you), your year and your personal calendar — written for your date.

The 13 tones of Imox

Each day of the Tzolk'in joins one of the 13 tones to one of the 20 nawales — 260 combinations in all. The tone says how Imox shows itself in whoever is born that day.

1 Imox — Jun. With tone 1, the one that opens the count, Imox arrives in you as a seed: the firmness to take the first step.
2 Imox — Keb'. With tone 2, the number of the pair, Imox arrives doubled in you, and you understand both sides of everything.
3 Imox — Oxib'. With tone 3, the one of the three hearthstones, Imox asks you for a steady home to give all it can.
4 Imox — Kajib'. With tone 4, the one of the four corners, Imox arrives whole in you, with resources and balance.
5 Imox — Job'. With tone 5, the number of the hand, Imox arrives in you in a hurry to act, with busy hands.
6 Imox — Waqib'. With tone 6, Imox leans on you through what is concrete: family, work, friends.
7 Imox — Wuqub'. With tone 7, the middle of the road, Imox gives you the view from above, the one that sees every side.
8 Imox — Wajxaqib'. With tone 8, the one that joins the beginning and the end, Imox arrives in you with the whole day and night.
9 Imox — B'elejeb'. With tone 9, the number of the life that takes shape, Imox arrives in you with the gift of nurturing and caring.
10 Imox — Lajuj. With tone 10, the one of both hands, Imox gives more in you when you do things together.
11 Imox — Julajuj. With tone 11, Imox arrives in you with a lot to give and a course that is won by climbing the mountain.
12 Imox — Kab'lajuj. With tone 12, Imox arrives mature in you, with the voice of someone who has taken stock.
13 Imox — Oxlajuj. With tone 13, the one of the thirteen skies, Imox comes to you with great force, which asks for a careful hand.
