I'x — the jaguar

I'x in K'iche' · Ix in Yucatec · Wizard seal in the Dreamspell

the jaguar·Mother Earth·the feminine force

You were born on I'x, the day of the jaguar. Among the K'iche', I'x is the day devoted to the World, as they call the deity of the earth, and it acts as the World's secretary. The day holds the mountain ranges and the river flats, the strength of the feminine and the Maya altar, which is the house of the earth's strength. In Momostenango, the words of I'x are to withdraw, to let go, to go free, and "before the World". You set foot on the ground the way the jaguar does: without a sound, and without any doubt that the ground is yours.

The strength of I'x

Your strength is the vigour of someone with both feet on the earth. People born on I'x are usually brave and strong, the ones still standing when the building work runs late, the business partner vanishes and the family loses its temper. In the tradition, those born on I'x are likely to grow wealthy, because they stand close to the World, owner of every metal and every precious stone. You usually look after what you have, know how to give when the time comes and don't pick fights for nothing.

The 13 tones of I'x

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 I'x shows itself in whoever is born that day.

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