Maya nawal
Tz'i' in K'iche' · Ok in Yucatec · Dog seal in the Dreamspell
the dog·the law·faithfulness
You were born on the day of the dog, the guardian that watches the house and sniffs out what is out of place. Tz'i' is the day of authority, order and justice, and some see in its glyph the dog's tail beside the staff of office that Indigenous authorities carry. Certain elders hear in the name the word tz'ij, which means word. You were born with both: the nose and the voice.
Your strength is a loyalty that keeps watch. People born on Tz'i' are usually loyal, upright and alert: they hear, see and sniff out everything, and little gets past them. You notice the wrong figure in the spreadsheet, the excuse that doesn't add up, the colleague who is quietly being sidelined. In the tradition, this is the day of authority and order, and of people with the courage and the clear head to lead. When someone needs the rule to apply to everyone, you are the one they call.
The reading of Tz'i' 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.
I want my Complete Maya Chart — $9Each 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 Tz'i' shows itself in whoever is born that day.
1 Tz'i' — Jun. With tone 1, the one that opens the count, Tz'i' arrives in you as a seed: the firmness to take the first step.
2 Tz'i' — Keb'. With tone 2, the number of the pair, Tz'i' arrives doubled in you, and you understand both sides of everything.
3 Tz'i' — Oxib'. With tone 3, the one of the three hearthstones, Tz'i' asks you for a steady home to give all it can.
4 Tz'i' — Kajib'. With tone 4, the one of the four corners, Tz'i' arrives whole in you, with resources and balance.
5 Tz'i' — Job'. With tone 5, the number of the hand, Tz'i' arrives in you in a hurry to act, with busy hands.
6 Tz'i' — Waqib'. With tone 6, Tz'i' leans on you through what is concrete: family, work, friends.
7 Tz'i' — Wuqub'. With tone 7, the middle of the road, Tz'i' gives you the view from above, the one that sees every side.
8 Tz'i' — Wajxaqib'. With tone 8, the one that joins the beginning and the end, Tz'i' arrives in you with the whole day and night.
9 Tz'i' — B'elejeb'. With tone 9, the number of the life that takes shape, Tz'i' arrives in you with the gift of nurturing and caring.
10 Tz'i' — Lajuj. With tone 10, the one of both hands, Tz'i' gives more in you when you do things together.
11 Tz'i' — Julajuj. With tone 11, Tz'i' arrives in you with a lot to give and a course that is won by climbing the mountain.
12 Tz'i' — Kab'lajuj. With tone 12, Tz'i' arrives mature in you, with the voice of someone who has taken stock.
13 Tz'i' — Oxlajuj. With tone 13, the one of the thirteen skies, Tz'i' comes to you with great force, which asks for a careful hand.
Tz'i' returns every 20 days, all year round, in any year — 18 times in 2026. Anyone born on one of those days, or on any day a multiple of 20 days away from them, is Tz'i'; the tone changes with each turn.
In 2026: January 12 (3 Tz'i'), February 1 (10 Tz'i'), February 21 (4 Tz'i'), March 13 (11 Tz'i'), April 2 (5 Tz'i'), April 22 (12 Tz'i'), May 12 (6 Tz'i'), June 1 (13 Tz'i'), June 21 (7 Tz'i'), July 11 (1 Tz'i'), July 31 (8 Tz'i'), August 20 (2 Tz'i'), September 9 (9 Tz'i'), September 29 (3 Tz'i'), October 19 (10 Tz'i'), November 8 (4 Tz'i'), November 28 (11 Tz'i'), December 18 (5 Tz'i').
