Life lessons may serve to enhance your sense of faith and loyalty today. This may prove useful as the high power of this day may put something irresistible right in front of you.

There are different properties associated with each number, but there are also some rules of thumb which act as constants. One of these is that the numbers from 9 to 13 are thought of as having a great deal of strength. Here we see a strong number combined with the nawal Tz’i, which has some very strong properties, giving this day the possibility to be rather spectacular for either the right or the wrong reasons.

What we have learned in our lives may have shown us where qualities like faith and loyalty get us. Sometimes we misplace them, we trust people who betray us, we give our loyalty to companies who use us. We get a few kicks along the way which are supposed to help us discern, so that the next time, we know where to place our trust. Sometimes the lessons are really harsh and make us question our faith in our life path, could we really have got it so wrong? Sometimes betrayal is of our own doing, an opportunity presents itself (or herself, or himself) which just seems too right to be wrong. Our loyalty to our commitments disappears from the thought process, then we have to deal with the consequences. Today may be a day where an situation such as this occurs.

However, the other side of this day has great potential. The strength of the energy of this day helps us to call on all of our life experience to bolster our faith in the world. The energy of the nawal Tz’i comes to restore our faith through bringing these life lessons into context. This is a day to use your life experience to bring out your ability to trust in your path, to show your loyalty and most importantly of all, to love unconditionally.

Tz’i is possibly the nawal with the most colourful reputation. Some describe it as the nawal of “sex, drugs and rock and roll” and it has the possibility to live up to that label. One of the functions an Aj Q’ij (Mayan spiritual guide) performs is divination, usually using red seeds called Tz’ite. If a question is asked about a relationship and Tz’i comes up in the reading, it is seen as a sign of  infidelity. Tz’i is instinctual, and closes its ears to reason when it gets an idea, particularly when it is hormonally driven. This is the worst possible aspect of Tz’i and when it falls down, it does so spectacularly, which is why it tends to be remembered for those events.

However, what is sometimes forgotten is the other side of Tz’i, which is the side more frequently displayed. Just as Tz’i can represent infidelity, it also represents faith and loyalty, and just as it can be the trouble maker, it also represents law. It is the nawal of police, lawyers and judges. Tz’i is unwavering faith, unconditional loyalty. The totem animal of Tz’i is the dog, and through the actions of dogs we can understand both the loyalty aspect, and the instinctual. Tz’i is also the guide and protector on life’s path, ensuring that its charge travels safely. It is a day when your faith or loyalty may be tested,  where your instincts are stimulated. The positive traits of this day give rise to to some of the greatest displays of friendship, but be aware that your loyalty may be tested by temptation.

The number 12 is the penultimate number. In some ways it can be seen as the last Earthly number, the number 13 representing the spirit world. We travelled through the mortal world with 1 through 6, then the other world with 7 through 12. In this way 12 can be seen as a point of bringing all of the experiences into one bundle for presentation to the spirit world as we step into 13. As such, the number 12 brings a wealth of experience into one place, it is rather like writing an autobiography. It is totality, all that is, brought together.
