E’ natives carry the energy of the traveler and seeker. Their potential unfolds through journeys, especially through encounters with people from different lands and cultures. Their keen people skills, attention to detail, and optimistic outlook inspire confidence wherever they roam. Discovery, movement, and learning are central to their path, often drawing them far from their birthplace or into nomadic lifestyles.
Compassionate and considerate, they act with responsibility toward the future and the greater good, guided by humility and divine inspiration. E’ natives are vessels for new ideas, serving others with clarity and care. In love, they often find happiness after many relationships, preferring partnerships that allow freedom and growth.
Shadow aspects include restlessness, indecision, distraction, and difficulty with long-term commitment or consistency.
E’ natives thrive in vocations as merchants, administrators, mathematicians, brokers, salespeople, real estate agents, art dealers, philosophers, psychologists, and chefs, where their flexibility and insight serve them well.

about the
mayan cross
The Mayan Cross (Cruz Maya) helps us understand the unique energy of each day by breaking it down into five parts: Ch'umil (central energy), Conception (origin/youth), Future (elder/maturity), and your Masculine and Feminine properties.
This approach gives us a deeper sense of what influences a particular day and how these energies interact. This cross doesn’t just show the energy of your sign—it also reveals your past, future, intuitive/artistic, and physical/practical aspects.
Expanded into a 9-point chart, it also explores the spiritual / intuitive and practical / physical aspects of your conception / past, and future energies.
Through a Maya Cross reading, you can discover hidden strengths, understand your true motivations, and learn what brings you fulfillment or presents challenges in your life.
trecena
The Trecena is a 13-day cycle within the Mayan Cholq’ij 260-day calendar. Each Trecena begins with a day 1 and its corresponding nawal, setting the tone for the 13-day cycle.
The Trecena provides an overarching influence that shapes, guides, and colors the energy of each of the 13 days throughout its span. Each Trecena has its own unique character, which informs and modifies the qualities of each day within it (combination of number + nawal).
The number and nawal combination within the Trecena is exclusive to that cycle, making its influence distinct and giving each day a special character shaped by the Trecena’s guiding energy.
mam
The Mam or Year Bearer represents the interaction between the Sacred Calendar and the 365-day Solar year. The Mam of your birth year influences how you make decisions and shapes your instincts, giving you a unique potential to fulfill your life’s purpose.
Your Mam acts as a hidden modifier of your personality, influencing both the properties of your nawal and its number. Although subtle, the year bearer's effect is crucial, providing an underlying drive that shapes your personality beyond the surface, even when your Ch'umil governs your outward traits.
