Kawoq — the storm

Kawoq in K'iche' · Kawak in Yucatec · Storm seal in the Dreamspell

the storm·abundance·the community

You were born on the day of the storm: the lightning, the thunder and the rain that follows. The name Kawoq also speaks of hardship and of lawsuits, the troubles everyone has on this earth. And the day recalls that the first grandparents showed it is possible to get through them and finish the work for the good of all. Kawoq is also the day of women. In you, storm and harvest are one and the same: you live in the thick of the commotion and usually come out of it with the table laid for a crowd.

The strength of Kawoq

Your strength is bringing people together. People born on Kawoq often draw others in without noticing and inspire trust. You are the one who organises Sunday lunch for twenty relatives and starts the residents' group chat that actually gets the leak fixed. Kawoq is often seen as the day of everything that gathers: the family, the neighbourhood, the people. Like rain, you fall on many people at once, and what was dry ground starts to sprout.

What the Chart tells you about Kawoq

The reading of Kawoq 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 Kawoq

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 Kawoq shows itself in whoever is born that day.

1 Kawoq — Jun. With tone 1, the one that opens the count, Kawoq arrives in you as a seed: the firmness to take the first step.
2 Kawoq — Keb'. With tone 2, the number of the pair, Kawoq arrives doubled in you, and you understand both sides of everything.
3 Kawoq — Oxib'. With tone 3, the one of the three hearthstones, Kawoq asks you for a steady home to give all it can.
4 Kawoq — Kajib'. With tone 4, the one of the four corners, Kawoq arrives whole in you, with resources and balance.
5 Kawoq — Job'. With tone 5, the number of the hand, Kawoq arrives in you in a hurry to act, with busy hands.
6 Kawoq — Waqib'. With tone 6, Kawoq leans on you through what is concrete: family, work, friends.
7 Kawoq — Wuqub'. With tone 7, the middle of the road, Kawoq gives you the view from above, the one that sees every side.
