Ix is power and Ix is territory. She is embodied by the Jaguar. Jaguar never rushes. She understands the value in grounded presence. This is how she provides for her cubs and how she maintains her authority. I’ve been asked to hold a lot this trecena. I hadn’t realized that my realm had become so vast. With power, there always comes responsibility. This aspect of Ix is one that I’m still metabolizing. It’s left me feeling full and bloated. Time to become more mindful of how I’m spending my precious resources of time and energy. This has been the message that I’ve received from Ix.
My full life has to be managed. I must be the fiduciary of all that I have created. It requires my full attention. I’ve taken on 100 new clients this year. Just getting to know each of them and their unique financial situation has required immense focus. Focus which has been difficult to summon since my son told me that their doctor is recommending that my grandson be delivered at Stanford Hospital and not locally. My mother’s heart is fiercely protective of my daughter in law right now. It’s primal and has no interest in the systems of our world or any of my mundane responsibilities. My heart only wants to pray and make ceremony. She wants to deep clean and prepare food. She wants to focus on the magic that Ix is associated with instead of the obligations that it’s authority brings.
Thankfully, the 2025 tax season closed last month and I’m getting a small reprieve this week. My husband and I celebrated twenty-five years together on Sunday and we’re installed in our favorite seaside resort among the cypress this week. It’s been very magical and it’s allowed me to become still like the Jaguar. In my stillness I’ve been able to pray and today I’m making a small ceremony for myself and my ancestors. My prayers are for strength and for stamina. I’ll be getting practice being a grandma as I caretake for my son and daughter in law’s three fur babies later this month. The doctor has recommended that they move into patient housing on Jun Ajpu, my birth Nawal. Before that arrives, we’ll be walking with the Deer. Tomorrow begins the trecena of Kej. I can use all the stabilizing that this majestic Nawal offers that I can get. Your prayers are welcome and appreciated.
Gratefully,
Cara
