Knife

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

The knife is the mirror of reality. You create the sparks of divine intelligence, just like a flint stone. You are social, brave, skillful and hardworking, filled with divine intelligence, talented and have great ideas. You are known to be polite, accommodating and selfless. The ability to separate emotions from reality, like slicing with a knife, is your innate ability. Since you are very detailed oriented, again like cutting with a knife, you are more interested in technical subjects. You are skillful in solving mechanical problems as well as you could be a good craftsman. You can even be a virtuoso for musical instruments because you can use your hands very good.

Being a Knife, you have a competent perception of the dualities of life. You tend to see the world as black and white, or true and false.. Truth is something you have a deep passion for. This will bring about a strong sense of truthfulness in your heart. To be aware of contrasts means to see the world as an arena of conflict. To choose one reality over another means going into a conflict and being a warrior. This painful awareness makes this sign a potentially difficult one. One of your positive features is; your approach to seeing things as right or wrong results in looking at and correcting yourself first.

On a negative tone, because of your honesty and bluntness, you can be hurtful at times. You might often hear from people around you, or even your loved ones, that you are violent, unkind, or too much straightforward. Your voraciousness may not be digested well by those who listen to you.

The Mayans say that the Knife people are healers and this sign is related to healing. A knife can be a weapon to kill but it can also be an instrument of healing in a healer's hand. So the solution is to become the scalpel in the hands of a surgeon instead of a knife that wounds people around you. In order to do this, you must know what to cut and what not to cut.

Eagle

Men (Yucatan) / Tz'ikin (Kiche)
Personality: Independent, ambitious and runs away from reality. Skilled in scientific and technical subjects, critical and meticulous. Have unique ideas about life.

The main quality of the natives of this sign is about rising above the difficulties and seeing the big picture. Just like an Eagle flying high, you see everything from afar, from a wide perspective, with sharp intelligence and intuition. As someone born on the day of the Eagle, you have very clear awareness and know what is going on, almost to the extent that nothing can be hidden from you.

You are a natural born visionary and you like to inspire people around you with the visions you have. The little details people see springs you into action and you have a mission to help others to gain a good vision too. You do not appreciate getting stuck in details, although you are aware that they are part of the big picture too. If you have problems with your eyesight, or you are using spectacles, this might be a sign that this aspect of the Eagle is blocked within you.

Eagle is an intermediary between the earth and sky. You are strong in the material world as much as in the spiritual world. You know how to get what you want, thanks to your strong spirit and high motivation. There is a passion in your heart for being successful in society; which prepares the fertile soil for becoming a good businessman or merchant. The Mayans say that the Eagle person will have good luck and fortune for material things. The money needed will always come to you.

We can also say that you are lucky in love and like to live in intense relationships. It will be advisable for you to marry when you reach a mature age because you can be described as a “free spirit” who loves to party. Loyalty is an important and challenging lesson for you to get.
