9 DOG
The day sign Tz’i puts us in touch with our senses – taste, feeling, smell. Though it is a day sign which can be a bit “rough around the edges,” it can also put us very deeply in touch with the earthly world all around us. The number “9” softens Tz’i’s hard edges. We can become aware of the magic that exists in our surroundings. Dig deep into the richness of life.
Note: The Aztec name for this day sign, Itzcuintli, means “dog.” So does the K’iche’ Mayan word Tz’i. The Yucatec word Oc actually means “foot” or “footstep,” and there is some evidence that this name for the day sign goes back all the way to Olmec times.
