Tecpatl is symbolic of our tongue, the word, profundity, and reflection. Tecpatl is pointed and sharp like the profound method of study and analysis necessary to truly comprehend things and then produce enduring concepts. It also represents the hardness and sharpness of obsidian, and the spark that comes from scraping flint. Like the obsidian knife (tecpatl), our tongue produces words that have the ability to penetrate a person's spirit. Tecpatl has two sharp points reminding us that we need to have internal reflection before speaking or taking action, and that we must be careful and think before we speak. We must also remember that it is important to analyze things, to see things with our heart, to take time to reflect, and to follow through with our stated intentions. 

The spirit guide of those born on the day of Tecpatl is Chalchiutotolin (Jade Turkey), another manifestation of Tezcatlipoca. Chalchiutotolin reminds us to keep our ego under control and to be humble.
