Rubbing yourself
Today invites us to take a look at the importance of getting what causes pleasure, and what happens when that is not available. The web of needs is set and now it grows into the knowing that having a bit more than the just-get-by necessities and eat more pleasure, is ok. Not just ok, today's nawal speaks of the vitality that it is and how not understanding it will lead to slavery. Pleasure must be accumulated, then released, as in sex, there is a balance, and today's combination understands that as well, as we come (cum) to the end of the trecena. So it wants to share about the fact that we live in a system where we are dazed by the illusion of freedom and pleasure, but where in fact we have very little of it, or at least less than what our appetite calls for. A strong, bonded, intimate community has been replaced by a narcissist virtual race. A temple of profound learning and growing has been replaced by a pyramid system of academic corruption and manipulation. A human and all-the-living-beings wellbeing has been replaced by a system of toxicity that finds the most elaborate ways to trick us into death, disease and poison. A life with natural pleasures, free and meaningful sex, leisure time, rest and nature, has been replaced by work, solitude, emptiness, depression and stress... and a little piece of vacation.
The list goes on and I don't need to go over it all. You get my point, and this is to point out how a project to free ourselves from this system is a project that has our pleasure as the center and important driving force to make it happen. Suffering will be replaced by pleasure; simple, convenient trade. Outside of this circle of medicine, the lecture may be interpreted differently. In a worldview where this freedom is not possible, we are unavoidably bonded to our suffering, enslavers and way of life, then surely it means the release of pleasure and desire as a way to reach wisdom and peace. Death, will be tomorrow.

Very much unlike the snake, today's messages come in revealing pieces that have a hard time joining as a whole and creating a story, as I usually tell my reading. Revelation it is of the nature of the unique combination and the energy of the day.
First message is about self sabotage and going against one's own will. Fairly, we need to escape ourselves sometimes. Second, fitting in, freedom. Third, hurting ourselves. We hurt ourselves in the attempt to just be here and function within a prison reality which is modern society. We don't have to fit in, but yet we do. In doing so comes a great sacrifice of our true identity and personality. This eventually hurts us and we ask ourselves why do we hurt ourselves. We choose to function because for the time being we have no choice, and at the same time we wish to be here for others, support and help with the problem. To help with a problem, you need to be in it, or close to it at least. This situation leads to discovering that you are the problem, or part of it.
Today shows us that no matter what we choose, how good or bad our decisions are, we will always stumble into some type of pain and dysfunction. Taken wisely today's nawal provides the strength to take actions to liberate ourselves. Taken outside of the ahaw consciousness, today reads the possibility to find self harm.

The gripping knot of the ten web—this dense fog into which the Eagle flies—can unleash a catastrophic crash. The raw, coiled serpent energy held tightly within seeks total release. This is the exact point in the structured, disciplined path of the Eagle where you completely lose it, choosing to unleash the pent-up, explosive kundalini force that has been withheld. In the raw physical vessel, this energy can erupt as unbridled rage, sudden fury, or an unmeditated, instinctual drive to break free. In this state, immediate consequences appear irrelevant; for this nawal, what matters above all is unleashing the beast—and within that raw eruption lies profound wisdom.
The consequences that ripple out afterward are where the true story actually develops. The path cannot move forward without today's snake, without this strangled, suppressed energy being accounted for and set free. This is the reality of the count: regardless of how rigidly disciplined you attempt to keep your vessel, your internal fury and primal beast will eventually devour you if denied—and being consumed or transformed by this force is a mandatory step toward completing the vision and fulfilling the count.
Knowing this reading—accessing the snake of knowledge (tz'um)—makes the crucial difference between consciously releasing the serpent so you can ride its momentum toward your chosen intent, or letting it overpower you and drag you to a completely alien destination, far from where you intended to go. Allowing yourself to let go and lose it is an essential catharsis that your body and soul require to clear the stagnant air and restore deep peace. The pressures of our current era—the suffocating, toxic atmosphere produced by a collapsing civilization—demand the greatest energetic release of our time. This nawal honors whatever path and story this release ultimately births.
Kan (Snake) represents the primordial serpent, the coiled Kundalini energy residing at the base of the spine, vitality, sexual force, transformation, instinctual knowledge, passion, movement, and the cosmic cord connecting the underworld to the heavens. Kan is the nawal of raw power, agility, elemental fire, and the uncompromising instinct that refuses to be suppressed by artificial structures. Paired with the dynamic, chaotic, testing, and dismantling frequency of the Number 11—the energy of Ju'laju'j, representing the high-pressure catalyst, sudden shifts, unbundling, and the force that breaks rigid patterns open so that dynamic equilibrium can be restored—this sign acts as a thunderbolt within the trecena.
To embody 11 Ju'laju'j Kan is to intentionally channel your instinctual fire rather than letting it burn down your sanctuary. Positioned as the eleventh step of the Tz'ikin trecena, this energy takes the tangled net of 10 K'at and tears it open through the eruption of the serpent. It demands that you stop suffocating your instinctual nature under the guise of false discipline, acknowledge the wild force within your vessel, and ride the serpent with absolute awareness so that its cathartic fire clears the path for true sovereignty.
RESEARCH
The literal meaning of the K'iche' Maya word Kan (pronounced Kahn, and spelled Kaan in Yucatec Maya) translates directly to serpent, snake, or precious / yellow cord.
Morphologically and symbolically in Maya linguistics and cosmovision, the root branches into three interrelated semantic layers:
The Serpent / Reptile (Kan): The physical snake, particularly pit vipers like the rattlesnake (q'uq'umatz / k'anti') or boa, recognized for its fluidity, molting, and deadly kinetic potential.
The Cosmic Cord / Sky (Kan / Kaan): In classical and Yucatec contexts, Kaan is homophonous with "sky" or "heaven," symbolizing the cosmic umbilical cord, the Milky Way, and the lightning shaft that bridges heaven and earth.
Mastery / Learning (K'an / Kanik): The related verbal root kanic / k'an means "to learn," "to accustom oneself," or "to master a skill," linking the serpent to instinctual intelligence, visceral memory, and deep tradecraft.
Typical Uses of Kan in K'iche' / Maya Speech
In modern K'iche' and Highland Maya dialects, the root Kan operates across environmental, bodily, and descriptive contexts:
1. Environmental & Biological Terms
Ri kan: "The snake" (the general term for any serpent).
K'anti': "Yellow-mouth snake" (specifically referring to the fer-de-lance / pit viper, combining k'an [yellow] with chi'/ti' [mouth]).
Sipakna / Kumatz: Serpent-dragon figures in mythology and oral lore (often paired with kan in ceremonial diphrasitism).
U xik' kan: "Dragonfly" or "winged serpent" (literally "wings of the snake").
2. Metaphorical, Bodily & Energetic Phrases
Uk'u'x kan: "The heart of the serpent" (referring to the visceral center of power, raw energy, or the base of the spine).
Rax kan: "Green/raw serpent" or "sudden lightning bolt" (used to describe sudden, explosive flashes of energy, instinct, or environmental force).
Kan q'aq': "Fire serpent" or "streaking flame" (describing volcanic lightning, trailing meteors, or explosive internal fever/rage).
3. Behavioral & Conversational Expressions
K'an-al: "Yellow/ripe" or "precious state" (describing fruit that has reached peak maturity or a person who has ripened in skill and physical vitality).
K'o u kanil: "It has snake-power / vitality" (an idiom for someone possessing immense physical endurance, sharp reflexes, or potent magnetism).
Q'eq kan: "Black snake" (metaphorically used for hidden danger, silent threats, or unexpressed anger coiled underneath the surface).
