Tz’i is the nawal of unconditional love, loyalty, trust, and justice, represented by the faithful dog who guards the threshold between worlds, protects what is sacred, and embodies the unwavering devotion that asks nothing in return. This energy also governs the power of our word: how we manifest our reality through language, the sacred responsibility of speaking truth, and the importance of having integrity between our thoughts, words, and actions.
Tz’i teaches us about giving and receiving love, having the courage to trust even when we’ve been hurt and the spiritual discernment to know what and whom to protect with our fierce, loyal hearts. 4 brings grounding, manifestation, and the energy of the physical realm; it is stability, foundation, the four directions coming into form, and the moment when spiritual truth becomes tangible reality.
Today, 4 Tz’i invites us to bring the virtues of love, truth, justice, and loyalty into being through our words and deeds: to ground ourselves in relationships that honor reciprocity, speak with integrity, act with honor, and protect what is sacred. On 4 Tz’i, be the kind of love that shows up, stays, guards the threshold, and trusts despite the risk. Let your words abd actions create the world you wish to live in.
Truth: Communication when things are uncomfortable or when there is a conflict is essential.
Tz’i is the nawal of our word. Last week, I was reminded that speaking truth is not optional. It is the foundation.
My husband and I had a clash. Valentine’s Day, I was late for our dinner date at the local Indian restaurant. He was angry and accusatory; the familiar cycle of dysfunction we’ve been in for years came roaring back.
I sent him away. I stayed at the restaurant and ate alone.
I went home and was alone—my daughter and husband both upstairs, me downstairs. I climbed into bed, ready to let sleep swallow the day. And then he came into the room.
Demanding to talk.
What?! This was a turning of the tables. Previously, I had always been the one to initiate communication in times of conflict. The one who couldn’t let it rest, needed resolution, and chased him down to fix it. Which almost always failed. This time, he did. And I didn’t want to talk.
I sobbed, lying in bed. “No. Leave me alone. Let me sleep.”
But he persisted.
And finally, we did talk. Ultimately, we made up.
Tz’i teaches that love without truth is not love. And truth without love is not truth. The challenge is to hold both at once. To speak what needs to be said, even when it’s hard, even when you’re exhausted.
And the truth is this: I cannot abide being unjustly accused of lying and cheating. I will not abide emotional abuse from anyone, whether in the form of gaslighting, being told how to feel, or being punished with silence and distance. I do not abide cruelty, meanness, ill will, or hatred.
I stand up and speak out for love, kindness, peace, and freedom.
This is what it means to have integrity between thoughts, words, and actions. To know what you will and will not tolerate. To say it out loud. To protect what is sacred, with boundaries and with speech.
TRUTH: Open, honest communication is the key to love and friendship.
Real communication. The kind that insists on truth even when truth is messy and raw and difficult. This is the work of 4 Tz’i. This is how love becomes manifest. This is how we build the foundation that can hold the weight of a real relationship.
Maltiox, Nawal Tz’i. Thank you for the courage to speak. Thank you for the loyalty that refuses to give up. Thank you for teaching me that my word is sacred, and that I get to decide what I will and will not tolerate in the name of love.
