THE ENERGY OF Aj

Cane.
Corn.
Abundance.
Harmony.

Aj is the cane that stands tall in the milpa, a green pillar joining earth and sky. It reminds us that abundance grows from harmony, and it is the day to restore balance with others and with the land that feeds us.

Aj is tied to corn, cane and the milpa, and in the K’iche’ day count it is a day of triumph and spiritual power. Its Yucatec counterpart, B’en, is the reed and the growth of maize.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

Born under Aj, you are conceived under the sign of Kan, with Imox as your destiny sign. You seek refinement in all things, keep secrets with honor and hold yourself to a high standard. Your wish for perfection is both your compass and your hardest teacher.

POSITIVE ASPECTS

In balance, Aj brings joy and a light heart. You tend the land and respect every living being, from the smallest plant to the oldest tree, and you give freely to your family and your community.
