Introduction - The Astrology of Time
The ancient Maya and Aztec astrologers studied the mysterious influence of the rhythms of the sky on earthly life. Everyone knows the Sun rises and sets every day -- this is the basic rhythm of life around which we set our clocks and calendars. What the ancient astrologers discovered was that other time cycles existed that were multiples of this basic day cycle. This fact was discovered about 100 years ago in Europe and these cycles (there are many of them) are now called biorhythms.
The most important time cycles in ancient Mayan and Aztec astrology are those of the day, 9-days, 13-days, and 20-days. Additionally, years are counted also, in groups of 4 and 13. Each day is then part of several other cycles, so no two days are exactly the same. Your Maya/Aztec horoscope below shows exactly where in each of the cycles you were born. Each category below examines a specific cycle and a specific aspect of your personality. Keep in mind that our personalities are complex and contain many contradictions. All of us present a different "face" depending on who we meet. The delineations below will reflect this, but they will also give you a clear picture of who you really are. The true value of astrology lies in self-knowledge, the first step to wisdom.
Your Most Personal Traits -- The Day-Sign of Your Birth
Here are your strongest and most obvious personality traits. The delineation below describes who you are and how you appear to others, at least on the surface. In Aztec astrology this part of is your horoscope is your Tonalli, or Day-Sign, the form bestowed upon you by the Sun.
Monkey: You are a person who needs attention from others. It is possible that you are an actor, artist, musician, designer or writer. You may also be multi-talented, able to switch from one art form to another with little effort. If you don't practice an art form you probably seek other ways to get attention, and in some cases, less socially acceptable ways.
Perhaps it is the cultivation and development of personality that is the core issue for Monkey types. The mask of the self, the social personality, appears to be the strong point, or the object of obsession, for those of you born on this day. You experience life as theater and the mask becomes all important. In careers where personal presentation is crucial to success, as in performing or sales, a developed personality is a real asset.
You are the type of person who assumes positions of leadership. By nature you are not a follower and therefore your choice is either independence or leadership -- but leaders get attention. You have a tendency to constantly promote yourself which is often perceived by others as attractiveness or even charisma. Much of this is done unconsciously. It may be the case that you are really very insecure and need to compensate for this by getting the world to acknowledge your worth. However, sometimes you compensate a little too much and can be overbearing and dominating.
Emotionally, you may be a little distant and aloof in close relationships. Your emotional distancing may attractive to others as it lends an air of mystery to your already dramatic character. But this could also create problems in relationships. On the other hand, you also have powerful drives and a strong desire nature. Your desire for leadership and attention is also behind your many accomplishments. Perhaps these drives are one and the same.
You are also a very communicative and curious person. You are interested in everything that passes in front of you and will go out of your way to learn how something works. You make an excellent teacher and are an equally good student. Mentally, you are capable of working with details, but you excel at generalities, and this is often what leadership requires.
Your Deeper Self -- The 13-Day Week of Your Birth
Each of us reacts to the world around us in different ways. Our reactions are mostly unconscious; they represent what our deeper self needs. Our reactions both attract and repel us from things, people, and situations. What we like, what we like to do, and who we really are is shown by the 13-day week called the Trecena that we were born under. Each of these periods begins with the number 1 and the name of the day-sign that starts it. A number is attached to your position within the 13-day period that may be an important number for you.
This is the thirteenth day of the 13-day period beginning with 1 Rain. Beneath your surface personality lies a self that is very dependent on others. You have a strong need to feel that you belong -- to feel part of the family. You also have an independent streak in you that often causes you to spend time alone, or apart from others. In this respect, you contain many internal contradictions. In general though, you are mentally very alert and well-informed and would do well in the teaching or healing professions.
