It is difficult not to use the phrase “final word” in relation to the energy of this day. This may be an excellent day to wrap up any ongoing conversations, discussions or negotiations you may have been having.

However, be very aware of the words you are using. Their finality may lead to the burning of some bridges you may later have to rebuild.

Once again the nawal Iq’ brings a strong energy of change and communication to the day. However, today its combination with the number of balance may lead to some indecision.

The day 7 Iq’ is a day when you find yourself easily able to communicate at many different levels. It is a balanced day that might not find the full inspiring force of Iq’, but is unlikely to find great anger either. Today should bring balanced, firm, but fair communication. It could be a good day to finalise changes that you may have been considering.

The energy of nawal Iq’ brings changes, often unexpected, sometimes dramatic. One of the great challenges with the energy of Iq’ is its unpredictable nature. Today this nature is embellished by the indecisive nature of the number 7. It may present many opportunities for powerful changes. Your challenge will be to decide as to which one to embrace.

Once again we can see this day from the perspective of the trecena of Ajmak. This could be an excellent day for having conversations around forgiveness. It enables us to have a final conversation about something and move on by giving an opportunity to choose the correct words to make this happen.

The Nawal Iq’

Nawal Iq’ is another strong nawal. It represents communication and particularly divine inspiration. It is the wind, the breath of life, that which brings the change in seasons.

The communication brought by Iq’ can be enlightening and inspiring. It is the breath of the divine which flows through us all, in fact the word for soul is Saq Iq’ – white breath. When our breath stops, our divine essence leaves our physical body. When we engage ourselves with the divine breath we are able to create, to manifest with our words, to inspire those around us. However, Iq’ also has a destructive side. It has the ability to blow like a hurricane and may level everything before it. It is the angry words which cut down everything in their path.

Hurricane is one of the few English words which is actually derived from a Mayan word- Junrakan, meaning “one footed”. Junrakan is another name for the Heart of the Sky, one of the creator deities. Once again it seems that certain patterns follow through the sequence of the nawales which are interrelated. Imox, the female creative principle, or egg, is fertilised be Iq’, the male principle. Their combination results in Aq’ab’al, the conception and a change in the state, bringing the dream into reality.

Iq’ is a day of communication, a day of inspiration. It can be a great day to express yourself through written or particularly verbal means. It is also a day on which changes happen. You can either embrace those changes or resist them. However, be aware that the wind blows forcefully and resistance of change requires a great deal of energy. Embracing change helps you to learn to dance like a leaf in the wind.

The Number Seven

If we imagine the numbers 1 through 13 as a pyramid, the number seven would be at the top. Seven is the number of balance, it gives the ability to weigh up situations and see all points of view. While this may be very noble, it may lead to indecision.

However, it is also known as a number of death and endings, which would seem strange as it is only half way through. It is another representation of the change of state of the soul, showing half of the journey (1-6) in the mortal world and half (8-13) in the otherworld. As such it can be a great number on which to finalise or end something.

The sequence of numbers as they appear with each appearance of a nawal. Here we see that the sequence begins with 1 and ends with 7, giving 7 as a number of finality.
