MesoArcana

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 Ajaw, 8 Manik') is a combination of one of 13 tones and one of 20 day signs. This sign defines your core spiritual identity and is the basis for your "Spirit Birthday," which occurs every 260 days.

Your Trecana Sign (Destiny Theme)

The 260-day Tzolkin is organized into 13-day periods called Trecenas. You were born into one of these periods, and the sign that begins it (e.g., 1 Imix', 1 Ik') acts as your Trecena sign. This sign adds another layer to your personality, defining the overarching theme or "destiny" of the 13-day period you were born in.

Your Haab' Sign (Worldly Connection)

Your Haab' sign (e.g., 8 Kumk'u, or 2 Wayeb') connects you to the natural rhythms, seasonal cycles, and public life of the world around you.

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 (Hidden Nature)

This sign comes from a 9-day cycle linked to 9 distinct deities known as the "Lords of the Night". Your 'Lord of the Night' sign (e.g., G1, G7) reveals your connection to the underworld, or the "darker," more hidden aspects of your nature.
