Your Mesoamerican Astrology Profile

Your Mesoamerican astrological profile is not just one sign, but a combination of four key components. Unlike a simple 12-sign zodiac, this system uses several interlocking ancient calendars to create a detailed portrait of your personality, destiny, and connection to the cosmos.

Your Profile: The Four Key Signs

Your astrological profile is made of four key components that work together:

Your Tzolkin Sign (Core Identity)

This is the heart of your astrological profile, coming from the 260-day sacred calendar, or Tzolkin. Your Tzolkin sign (e.g., 4 Sun, 8 Monkey) is a combination of one of 20 day signs and one of 13 tones. Your day sign is your core identity.

The 13 Tones provide a numerical dimension to your sign. Each tone is not merely a number, but is represented by a specific Maya Deity that complements the day sign. In ancient inscriptions, these numbers were often depicted as Head Glyphs—elaborate portraits of the god associated with that specific number—rather than simple bar-and-dot numerals. This combination defines your core spiritual identity.

Your Trekana Sign (Subtle Influence)

The 260-day Tzolkin is organized into 13-day periods called Trekanas. You were born into one of these periods, and the sign that begins it (e.g., 1 Imix, 1 Ik) acts as your Trekana sign.

Rather than dominating your profile, the Trekana exerts a subtle influence on your personality, narrative and life lessons. It sets the underlying "key" or atmospheric theme of the 13-day week in which you were born, coloring your experiences and natural inclinations.

Your Haab' Sign (Worldly Connection)

Your Haab' sign connects you to the natural rhythms, seasonal cycles, and public life of the world around you. It is the stage on which you as an actor play.

This sign comes from the Haab', the 365-day solar calendar that governed seasons, agriculture, and civic life. It is made of 18 "months" (or winals) of 20 days each, which accounts for the first 360 days of the year.

The year concludes with a special 5-day period known as the Wayeb'. This was considered a highly dangerous and chaotic time of transition, a "nameless" period when the barriers between the mortal world and the underworld thinned. Being born during the Wayeb' was often seen as a difficult and challenging omen.

Your Lord of the Night (Mysterious Influence)

This sign comes from a 9-day cycle linked to 9 distinct deities known as the "Lords of the Night". While we know the cycle repeats every 9 days, the specific attributes of these Lords remain a mysterious, unknown influence on your personality, as many of their glyphs and meanings remain undeciphered by archaeologists.

This site attempts to give a modern translation of the meaning and deity associated with your specific Lord of the Night (G1 through G9), offering a glimpse into this enigmatic aspect of your profile.
