Perhaps as far back as 3,000 years this unique form of astrology began to evolve in the Mesoamerican region of the New World, today's Mexico and northern Central America. A sequence of 20 signs, not of space like our Western zodiac, but of time, evolved and became the core of a great astrological tradition that has been perpetuated up to the present time. The key to this tradition and the framework within which the 20 signs cycle is the 260-day astrological calendar.

Many people have heard about the Mayan calendar. More properly called the Long Count, this time-keeping tradition is essentially astrological – it was the mundane astrology of ancient Mesoamerica. The Long Count is a 5,125-year period that is one fifth the length of the roughly 25,600-year cycle called the precession of the equinoxes. The ancient Maya divided this period into smaller pieces much like our calendar year is divided into months, weeks and days. The most important division of the Long Count is the 260 katuns, or periods of about 20 years. Each katun functions like a day-sign, except that it is the length of a human generation! Today we are living during the final years of the last katun which will end in 2012.

(PLEASE NOTE : You are free to answer any one of the Following

Using the 20 Mayan Day signs, what sign do you fall under and what personality traits stand out the most to you ? Based on accuracy do you think this ancient system of astrology particulary works for you ?

My Mayan sign is the Eagle. Persons born under it are usually independent, perfectionists, and technically minded. They can be very ambitious and critical, yet they also enjoy a good escape now and then. This is an open-minded day-sign, the sign of J.F. Kennedy and Cary Grant.

Here's Me:

Mayan Animal Moon Sign Cutz
English Name Peacock
Crystal Red Topaz
Interpretation
The fifth moon of the Mayan calendar is called the moon of the peacock. In Mayan language, peacock was known as 'cutz'. You are envisaged as an authoritative, proud and powerful person to others. The splendid profusion of blue and green of peacock's feather captures everyone's eye. In a similar way, you are showy and flamboyant. Numerous 'eyes' on peacock's fan is reflected in your observant nature. You are curious and always keep a constant watch on things going around you. You are elegant, dramatic and infused with sensuality. Your razzle-dazzle show wins widespread popularity and admiration in society. Behind your superficial frivolity, you have a strong urge for competition. You are passionate, sympathetic, loving and harbor a deep affinity for fine arts. You need lots of love and affection in return from your partner for emotional fulfillment.

Mayan Animal Moon Sign Kaw
English Name Snake
Crystal Emereld
Interpretation
The snake signifies healing power in Mayan culture. Unlike western mythology, no negative connotation is attached with the cultural image of snake. In Mayan language, snake is pronounced as 'Kaw'. The exceptional ability of serpents to shed their skin and come up with a newer one was seen as a symbol of redemption. The 'serpent' person is famous for his legendary resilience. You can easily let go of the old and review your ideas or priorities in life from time to time. This trait of your character makes you a wise person. Above all, you want to live a happy life. Lifestyle is important for you, but you do not sacrifice morality or your sense of justice for the sake of it. You are restrictive and find it difficult to love anybody without proper reason.

You are difficult to pin down, and few ever penetrate your aura of mystery enough to truly know you well. You are a natural performer with not only a sense of the dramatic, but also a tendency to keep the act going well after the curtain has come down. Your emotional power is remarkable -- you are very affected by your feelings and are occasionally overcome by them. In this sense, you “wrestle with the serpent.”

It is possible that you either have a sharp sex appeal, or you are sexually frustrated. When your life is in balance, your deep reservoir of primal emotional energies is enticing to others. You are probably regarded by others as highly intelligent. Serpent personalities tend to be interested in subjects that involve strategy and transformation, such as psychology. It is because you are so deeply in touch with the process of transformation that you try to gather as much wisdom as possible.

Mayan Animal Moon Sign Aak
English Name Turtle
Crystal Serpentine
Interpretation
The turtle moon is the 13th moon of Mayan calendar. During this time of the year, Mayans envisaged the imaginary image of a gigantic turtle stretching from Gemini to Cancer. In Mayan culture and in many other cultures of the world, turtle was seen as a symbol of patience and tenacity. All these traits are reflected in your character. You get what you want in life through effort and sheer determination. You can be very conservative in your views and opinions sticking to the same old concepts about life. Altering your ideas is a tremendous task. Hard working and composed, you are also a very sensitive person. When threatened or hurt, you can lock yourself into a closed space. However, your anger can be the worst of its kind on earth. You need to check your temper and keep the inherent calmness intact to lead a balanced life.

Western: Cancer; Chinese: Tiger.
