Kame — the death that renews

the death that renews·foresight·the ancestors

You were born on the day of death, and that has more to do with beginnings than with endings. In the tradition, dying means finishing a piece of work and crossing into another state, the way the night labours so the next morning can dawn. Kame joins death and rebirth, and it is also the day of the ancestors, who walk with those born on it. The animal usually linked to Kame is the owl, which sees in the dark. You have the same sight: you notice what is ending before others do, and you know something else comes after.

The strength of Kame

Your strength is seeing ahead. People born on Kame sense what is coming, good and bad: you knew that partnership would sour before the first meeting, and you felt your sister's relationship would end months before she told anyone. In the tradition, this is the day of sharp people with a strong spiritual life. In Momostenango, they say those born on Kame carry the "lightning", a sensitivity that, once trained, learns to read signs. The owl sees in the dark. So do you.

What the Chart tells you about Kame

The 13 tones of Kame

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 Kame shows itself in whoever is born that day.

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