The second closing day of the period is said to represent recognition of yourself, during your introspective period. On this day of Tijax, this could help us to recognise the healer within.

It is once again a fascinating combination for this day of the solar year. 9 Tijax is a day of healing, particularly through women. It can also be seen as a day of purification of life. Tijax cuts away anything which causes imbalance, it cuts through to the truth. It sees through to the perfection within.

If we they bring these understandings together with this day of introspection we find some interesting reflections. As we finish up this solar year, this day of introspection may ask us to recognise the potential within ourselves, and what we might need to cut away in order to bring it out. Tijax can bring the surgeon’s attention to detail and focus. Where might you use a fine eye for detail to discern what of the previous year needs to be cut out? Which matters might require greater focus to be surgically removed them and bring life into balance? How can this process initiate a healing in life?

By analysing these things on this day of recognition we have the opportunity to purify ourselves. We can move into the next solar cycle free of those things which have taken us out of balance.
