Tz'ikin symbolizes the day when the birds showed the place where the sacred Corn was found. This is the day of the bird of good luck. Date of communication with the heart of Heaven and the Heart of Earth, through the invocation of space, air, light, clouds, cold, and the heat force that gives us life. Representation of all that exists in space. Day devoted to Heart of Heaven, Heart of the Earth. Symbol of good luck and material stability of the individual conscience and intelligence.

The number 9 is an extremely positive one, even though it is an odd number. It is often used for ritual purposes. Inscriptions surviving from Classic times (200 – 900 CE) indicate that 9 was the day most favored for the timing of coronations and other important ceremonies. 9 is often called “the number of life” because it represents the process of human gestation; there are nine months of human development prior to birth. Because of this, the number 9 is especially associated with women, particularly since the 260-day cycle is comprised of nine lunar months. Some Mayan teachers have pointed out that in their traditional culture there are nine steps in the construction of a house and nine stages to growing and harvesting crops. There are also 9 Lords of the Underworld, but this is not necessarily the astrological significance of 9, a number whose symbolism is overwhelmingly positive.
MEN (TZ’IKIN) THE VISION OF THE BIRD: Signifies a bird, wealth, and all business negotiations. It is the nawal of economic well-being, good fortune. It is an auspicious day to give thanks and ask for financial well-being. It is the communication and mediation between Uk’ux Kaj and Uk’ux Ulew (Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth). Unlike those of some spiritual traditions, the Maya do not feel that material prosperity is undesirable or “non-spiritual.” Upon this day, we may thank the universe for whatever prosperity we currently enjoy while honestly expressing the intention that more prosperity may attend our lives. This day is as fortunate for love as it is for money; pay attention to relationship issues. Pay attention to dreams as well, for this is a day upon which one may experience powerful and important revelations through dreams.

Symbolism:
The Maya called this day Men (mane), the root word for the verb "to make" or "to do". The glyph for the day is that of a head with dots in a line behind the eyes, which has been suggested to be evidence that the sign represented the old moon deity. This goddess is drawn with a headdress and shield of eagle feathers. And eagle's claw is also her symbol. This Mayan goddess was the patroness of weaving and other female activities. In this case, however, the day-signs symbolism doesnt match the personality type very well.Personality:
Men types are independent, ambitious, and escapist. They can be scientific, technically inclined, critical, and exacting, and they frequently have an interest, or background, in philosophy, science, or the more technical aspects of their chosen field. Men types are usually a bit ahead of their time in their thinking, and they tend to be experimental in many areas of life. They are perfectionists with exacting, critical minds that require challenges. Making plans and layouts is particularly appealing to them. Persons born under this sign are typically perfectionists capable of handling much detail. Men types are often unconventional in significant ways; they have their own set of rules in life that develop from their own unique perspective on things. They can be driven, yet they also enjoy a good escape now and then. They would probably just take off for parts unknown, but they usually have complex relationship entanglements to handle, so they dont. On a more positive level, many Men types are concerned with making the world a better place, and they only appear to be escapist to others. Those born under Men are usually popular and well-liked, which is interesting since they are the ones who tend to frequently bend the rules as understood by others. They will compete when necessary, and can be very serious about such things, but they usually try to avoid it. Competition with themselves is more their style and is perhaps the basis of their personal ambitions.Challenge:
To create a lifestyle that offers both freedom and companionship.Solution:
To gain a deeper knowledge of human nature. Men
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-3 (East)
Many born under this Lord seem to have a strong need for respect from others. They are serious people who are occasionally insecure, but they often occupy a prominent position in life, or at least feel that they should be publicly recognized for their actions. Some people born under G-3 project this need onto others; they may associate with or be married to a person who is powerful in the outside world. They have high expectations for themselves and often for others, and they work hard to achieve their goals. In doing so they may neglect relationships, or may simply make pragmatic choices in this area in order to accomplish their tasks. This dedication can lead to a lopsided emotional life and can occasionally raise questions in the minds of others about a G-3 persons basic motivations.
G-3 types seek the limelight and recognition for their accomplishments, but they may work under the shadow of another person, such as a father or another authority figure. They see value in apprenticing and learning from their elders. One of their tasks in life is to learn how to be an authority in their own right. This need is something that G-3's meet through earning it, rather than by acquiring it through association.
Their strength lies in their persistence and dedication to greater learning and improvement. Their dark side lies in their internalized, critical parent, the voice that judges. Sun/Saturn combinations are the Western astrological correlation for this lord.
