The number 8 is highly auspicious. If 1 and 7 are the beginning and the end, then 1 + 7 = 8, making 8 a number of completion or wholeness, much like the number 4. This is why there is some sort of ritual for almost every 8 day, and why some extremely traditional communities have a special local shrine dedicated to the number 8. Of course, 4 + 4 = 8, so the wholeness implied in the number 4 is doubled here, as if the wholeness of the fourfold universe were seen from the viewpoint of both polarities: night and day, light and darkness, sun and moon, yin and yang. The number 8 has been said by Maya teachers to represent the weaving of life, the thread or cord of time. It is also sometimes said that the Mayan symbol for 8, a bar with three dots over it, has a symbolic meaning, with the three dots on top representing humanity and day, and the bar underneath representing Mother Earth.
IX (I’X) THE JAGUAR: Signifies the jaguar, the spirit, force, energy, and vitality. It is the
nawal of nature and Mayan altars. It is also the
nawal of the seven human shames: pride, ambition, envy, lying, crime, ingratitude, and ignorance through laziness. Those who keep the Days always set aside a special place or household altar for prayer, meditation, incense, candles, and so on. This is the day to give thanks that we have created such a sacred place in our lives. It is a day which may fruitfully be devoted to introspection and meditation if the opportunity is there. It is also regarded as a favorable day upon which to practice any kind of divination. As regards the element of Water, Ix symbolizes the sacred energy inherent in fresh streams, in running water.

Ix - North
Symbolism:
The Mayan name for this day,
Ix (eesh), probably refers to the earth god or to a magician. The Quiche Maya name, Balam, definitely means jaguar throughout the Mayan region. The connection here is that the jaguar is an animal of the underworld, of the earth. The Mayan glyph is stylized, but it appears to show the spots of this animal.
Personality:
Ix types can be private, sensitive, intelligent, and psychic. They have an inborn sense of strategy and make good planners and investigators. Ix types may be aggressive but they will generally avoid direct confrontations. They will fight to make a point, though they usually do so in somewhat indirect ways. Some are cryptic communicators. They are not fearful of becoming entangled with other peoples lives. Ix types tend to become deeply involved with others on many levels, and they will base their security needs on these relationships. When things turn sour, they find themselves caught up in a network of ties and obligations that are difficult to throw off easily and quickly. This tendency leaves a lot of unfinished business and opportunities to process what has happened, which may yield deep spiritual insights. Ix types make good healers and consultants. They are inclined to be concerned with religion or spirituality, and they often display various kinds of psychic abilities. They are very sensitive in general and can read people intuitively. When this psychic ability is combined with their tendency to become deeply involved in human relationships, what emerges is essentially an identity as doctor or counselor. At their very best, Ix types are healers and confessors and as such provide a necessary service to humanity.
Challenge:
To sort out complex and entangled human relationships; to purify ones social life.
Solution:
To develop healing and counseling skills. Ix
1-Manik
Beneath the 1-Manik surface personality is a person who struggles with issues of freedom versus security. Manik people display an urge to take off for parts unknown, but they also demonstrate a desire for the security of home and family. Because the struggle with this conflict leads people to discover unique solutions, they often become innovators or creators of a somewhat unconventional personal lifestyle. Frequently they have unusual interests of an investigative or searching nature.
G-2 (East)
These types are dedicated to their work regardless of whether they are employees, run their own business, do volunteer work, or merly do work around their own homes.
G-2's sense of responsibility is quite high. Others may perceive them as obsessive and compulsive and inclined to do more than needs to be done.
G-2 people are hard workers, stubborn and often quite thorough about attending to details. Personal sacrifice comes naturally to them and one of their most basic reactions in any situation is to stand aside for others who assert themselves.
G-2's are ambivalent about being the boss, and they maneuver themselves into jobs or situations where they can take orders from above. Most people see them as polite, accommodating, considerate and respectful. An important life lesson for G-2 types lies in making their personal sacrifices meaningful.
Another lesson comes from learning to focus their tremendous capacity for giving. Their dark side lies in excessive self-denial. Many of those born under this influence have strong Neptune placements in their Western birth charts. Neptune is a planet that represents loss of self and a willingness to make a personal sacrifice.
