Light

Ahau (Yucatan) / Ajpu (Kiche)
Personality:Loving, devoted, artistic, imaginative, and romantic. Stubborn and uncompromising. Lack of social skills but well-intentioned.

You are gentle, well-intentioned, and generous. This Day Sign is also called Ancestors by the Mayans. Therefore your path to receiving guidance from your ancestors is open. You reflect the purity and brightness of the Light. You are imaginative and have solid inner ideals.

The Aztecs say this is the sign of poets, singers, dancers, and creative artists. These types of vocations show the inner connection with a higher power. You can be an athlete, a hero, or a wise visionary that leads people, an artist, or an artisan in one or more fields. If you are more of an intellectual type, you can find beauty in numbers, math, science, and philosophy.

Be stubborn in your efforts to manifest your dreams. One of the names of this sign is the Hunter. This is about overcoming all the challenges between you and your desired goal. You will often be tested in your quest about what you want to achieve in your life. There will be many challenges on your way but have confidence. You have the means to overcome these challenges. Just recognize them, and keep going, keep moving forward. You are bound to reach success and achieve your goals.

Relationships, in general, are pretty challenging for you. That’s mainly because your expectations are often unrealistic from the beginning. You may have ultra-high expectations from others and yourself as well. This unrealistic strive for “perfection” can lead to disappointment, and as a result, you may run away from your responsibilities. You tend not to forgive people’s mistakes and be easily offended. To remedy such issues, simplify your life and accept the world as it is. Lower your expectations. You will rise with unconditional love and shine again.

Challenge: Frustrations caused by unrealistic expectations.
Remedy: Lowering the expectations.

Knife

Etznab (Yucatan) / Tijax (Kiche)
Personality: Skillful, well-organized, and technical-oriented. Social, but has difficulty in intimate relationships. Conciliatory and self-sacrificing, but suppressing anger.

Mayans name this sign after the legendary Obsidian stone. Pointed and penetrative, also reflecting reality with its sharp surface. This stone has been a mirror for the Mayas for thousands of years. Mirror is another name for this sign; natives of this day are known for being a good mirror for people around them, potentially making this a challenging sign. Interestingly, Knife people are beautiful women or handsome men with sharp facial attributes.

When we look at the symbol of the Knife sign, we can see a duality separated by its razor-sharp edges. Being a Knife means having a competent perception of the dualities of life. As a Knife person, you tend to see the world as black and white or, more dramatically, good and evil. You can slice reality into perfectly accurate pieces and reveal what is true and what is not. Indeed, you have a deep passion for truthfulness in your heart.

Recognition of contrasts means seeing the world as an arena of conflict. Going into clashes like a warrior is something common in your life. You often find yourself choosing one reality over another. Such awareness is painful, making this sign a potentially difficult one to live with […]

You are usually in a dilemma because of your way of speaking. Holding your tongue means keeping the truth to yourself, but you may lose some friends here and there when you are blunt with people.

Yes, in most situations, you give the bitter medicine for most people. Truth hurts, but it also heals. When we look at the plant medicines of the indigenous world, we usually see that they are bitter and not easy to digest, whether it is Ayahuasca, Peyote, or Kambo. The energy of this sign act in a similar way. Your bitter medicine can be very healing if people can swallow the truth pill.

If you suppress your honesty, you will lose all the potential from the Knife sign. You were born to express the truth as much as you know it. Remember, there is nothing wrong with that. But keep asking yourself, what is the more profound and ultimate reality?

Mayans say that the Knife people are healers, and this sign has curative qualities. A knife can be a weapon to kill, but it can also be an instrument of healing in the right way. Just like a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon, that is unlike a knife that injures people. Surgeons can discern what to cut out and what not to. They aim at the cancer cells, not the patients themselves.

Talking about surgeons, you can be a good one, a medical doctor, or a healer. You are excellent with technical subjects and may have a career in engineering or information technology. You can use your hands very well and achieve virtuosity with a musical instrument […]

Even though you are generally fair and sensitive in intimate relationships, you may overreact and finish the relationship abruptly. If someone wants a long-term relationship with you, they will have to accept your dominant side […]

When you find yourself too judgmental of other people, ask yourself, maybe you are bound by a dualistic and limited understanding of life? Gautama Buddha says, “There are two kinds of people. Ones moving from light to dark, and those moving from dark to light.” The science-fiction classic “Cloud Atlas” gives another perspective on this, in which being good and evil are interwoven into each other. We are all having our own unique stories. Remembering this will bring a feeling of lightness into your heart […]

Challenge: Being stuck between thinking about self-interest or sacrificing self.
Remedy: Allowing others to take the leadership
