THE ENERGY OF Iq'

Wind.
Breath.
Renewal

Iq’ is the wind that carried life into the world: the breath of the sky, the cleansing storm, the winds of renewal. It governs ideas and change, and it stirs the inner space of the body.

In the K’iche’ day count, Iq’ is associated with wind, air, spirit and sky, and it is a day to ask for relief from suffering and trouble at home. Its Yucatec counterpart is Ik’, the sign of wind, breath and life.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

People of Iq’ are conceived under the sign of I’x, with Tz’i as their destiny sign. Spiritual and impetuous, they have a quick mind, a sharp memory and a gift for speech. Like the wind, their moods can change in an instant: tender one moment, stormy the next.

POSITIVE ASPECTS

In balance, Iq’ acts with great purity of intention. They adapt to any situation, face crises with courage, and carry a visionary, entrepreneurial spirit that brings fresh ideas into the world.
