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.

Vulture: You are a person who faces life very seriously. Some Vulture personalities are philosophical, but others among you sing the blues. You have a sense of reality and fatality that makes you seem ultra-realistic and pragmatic to others. You know nonsense when you see it but will also give credit where it is due.

At times, to others, you can seem hard and insensitive. Perhaps your own experiences of hard work, suffering and aloneness are behind this trait. But you probably have an excellent sense of judgment and are extremely competent at what you do, so you can be critical of how others do the same thing. You are really a person of high standards.

One of the most important issues in your life has to do with authority and position. You are acutely conscious of your social or political status at any given moment and tend to be self-conscious when around people who can judge you in some way -- you have a kind of rejection-complex. You may have felt rejected or had problems getting along with your parents, in particular your father. For many females this can be somewhat oedipal -- you tend to have relationships with father figures.

Although most Vulture personalities maintain their authority and a high position relative to others, some are victims. If you are at a disadvantage in life, you are facing the crucial authority issue from the other side. You could be taken advantage of by others, or even beaten and abused. In some cases, this could be more a social issue, where the majority reject what you believe in.

It is in the giving of advice that you excel. Your challenges in life, plus your acute awareness of what works and what doesn't in society, gives you the ability to make good judgments for others. In many cases, your high status alone accounts for the value of your advice. Your critical faculties are usually very good and you can be exacting in judgments and in business matters.

Although you are a serious and somewhat fatalistic person, you also know how to enjoy a laugh. What better way is there to lighten the load? You probably have an excellent sense of humor and are possibly a comic -- though you tend towards being sarcastic and cynical.

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 ninth day of the 13-day period beginning with the day 1-Rabbit. Beneath your surface personality you are a competitor and fighter. This may not always be apparent to others -- until they get to know you well. You secretly love a confrontation and will take risks in life to create them. You prefer a life of excitement rather than one of routine. If you can meet these needs in a non-destructive way, and you probably can, you will find happiness. You are, in general, a particularly complex person who tends to play games of "one-ups-manship" with others.
