The Purpose Of Mayan Astrological Signs
The Mayans had the wisdom on how we can connect ourselves to the Earth we live in. And their understanding of this matter allowed them to develop the “Tzolk’in” or the Mayan calendar that most of us know today.
Their calendar comprises 20 day signs, 13 galactic numbers, and 260 days a year and they use this chart to interpret the role of celestial bodies over our terrestrial life. Likewise, their calendar also allowed them to comprehend the influence of the universe to our different personalities.
Basically, the Mayan calendar has a total of 365 days like the Gregorian calendar that we use today, but it is arranged differently in terms of months and days because they have 18 months with 20 days each or ‘Haab’ then followed by a 5-day period known as the ‘Uyaeb’.
The Mayan people believed that 20 gods ruled the ‘Nuhales’ (20 day signs) and that the personality of every person is governed by ‘Galactic Tone’, or simply their birthdate (13 galactic numbers) called the ‘Trecena’.
And according their beliefs, the influence of the celestial bodies and the entire universe extends to human beings. In other words, your characteristics as a person are defined by the qualities set based on the date and time you were born.
The Position Of The Celestial Bodies Determine Your Character As A Person
Each sign in the Mayan zodiac represents different character traits similar to the Western zodiac. However, the main difference is that the Mayans looked deeper into the days to gather more specific traits.
For instance, the equivalent of their astrological signs to the Western zodiac is the ones we’ve mentioned in the previous section, the Nuhales. Aside from that, their Trecena is the equivalent of the traditional moon signs in Western astrology and the ‘Yoalteuctin’ or ‘Bolontiku’ which governs the hidden personality of a human being.
In addition, the Mayans also look into the birth year just like in the Chinese zodiac as they believed that those people who are born in the same year share certain characteristics.
