Ix is the fourteenth day sign of the Tzolk’in, represented by the stealthy jaguar, shrine guardian, and sacred force of Mother Earth. It symbolizes quiet power, nocturnal intuition, nature’s mysteries, and feminine wisdom.
Nawal Qualities
- Jaguar Intuition: Represents sensory sharpness, stealth, deep insight, and nocturnal vision.
- Earth Sanctuary: Connected to altars, sacred caves, mountains, and ecological balance.
- Feminine Power: Embodies mysterious, receptive, and protective natural intelligence.
Direction & Color
Associated with the North (Xaman) and the color white (Sak). North offers cold clarity, quiet discernment, and ancestral sanctuary.
K’iche’ Correspondence
In Highland K’iche’ Maya tradition, Ix corresponds to I’x. Highland daykeepers treat I’x as the nawal of sacred altars, hilltops, nature spirits, and female spiritual guides.
Modern Reflection
Confidence Level: Modern Interpretation
