The energy of Nawal Q'ANIL / SEED is derived from the creation story of the Maya, that they came from the stars. We as people are made of the same substances, and in this context seed and star have the same meaning. This energy is creation itself, brilliant and gestational all at once. Seed is the beginning of new life, ideas and relationships that are unencumbered and have the potential to reproduce without limit. There is a sense of regeneration and renewal with this energy. This sign was important to the ancient Maya, to the degree that pregnancies would be planned so that kings and queens would be born on Seed (also Sun) days.

A Seed day is a good day to:
Every day has a purpose, and a Seed day is a good day to: pray to Mother Nature for planting, harvest and for the abundance for our sons, daughters and animals. It is also good for asking to regain or resume something that was believed lost, overcome the hardships of poverty or to ask to remove any shyness. On Wajxaqib’ (8) Q’anil, the Maya ask for good crops, good weather and that animals do not destroy the plantings.
