Wuqub Ajpu ~ 7 Sun ~ LC 13.0.1.14.0 ~ Sept 22, 2014 K´ICHE´ - Ajpu YUCATEC - Ahau ENGLISH - Sun, Blowgun Hunter DIRECTION - East ELEMENT - Fire KEY - Hunter, certainty, and security GROWTH - Passing spiritual tests MEANING - Ajpu is overcoming negative energy. It is the victor, the male, the man, the boss, the spiritual warrior, the hunter, Jun Ajpu, and Ixb´alamke, It is the day of Ajaw, the Great Father, and his solar representation, a day of greatness and the strength of life. It is the power of the great Jun Ajpu and Ixb´alamke, the twin Men-Gods, the mythical figure of creation, the grandsons of the first Grandparents, Ixpiyakok and Ixmukane. The twins went down to Xib´alb´ay, the dwelling place of the Lords of the Underworld (who, according to tradition, hid underground in order to survive the great catastrophe twelve thousand years ago). There the twins passed all of the tests that were set for them, died, and were reborn – an allegory for spiritual awakening. They are the great hunters, accurate and sure, the possessors of great magic, the fathers of fine art, and the teachers of this civilization. This is a special day for Mayan ceremonies that protect against Wuqu´Qakix (the Seven Sins): pride, ambition, envy, lies, crime, ingratitude, and ignorance. It is the energy of Wuqub´ Ajpu, also known as Ixb´alamke, the nawal of fertility and hunting. Jun Ajpu and Ixb´alamke planted stalks of corn in the patio of Grandmother Ixmucane´s house. If the corn flourished, it meant the twins had survived; if it withered, they had died. Ixmukane performed a ceremony to revive the plants; this is the regenerative power, the cycle of life. Ajpu governs lunal and solar eclipses and represents the ball game. It brings material and spiritual certainty. It is the realization of the solar body. It is transformation, mutation, and acuity. It is the warrior, the companion, the traveler, the dancer, and the artist, maker of wonders. It is the soothsayer – the diviner and vanquisher of spells – the lord of flowers, master and heir to the power of light. ENERGY - This is the day to obtain certainty and security, to plan and achieve goals. It is a day of renewal, a day to ask for female fertility, to feel emotionally secure, and to sharpen the intellect. It is a day that brings the strength, courage, and energy to overcome obstacles.
