Mayan Zodiac
Mesoamerica • 20 signs
The Mayan Zodiac emerges from the sophisticated Tzolk'in calendar — a sacred 260-day cycle used by the ancient Maya civilization. This system features twenty day-signs (Nahuals), each representing a primal force of the universe: Imix (Crocodile), Ik (Wind), Akbal (Night), Kan (Seed), Chicchan (Serpent), Cimi (Transformer), Manik (Deer), Lamat (Star), Muluc (Moon), Oc (Dog), Chuen (Monkey), Eb (Road), Ben (Reed), Ix (Jaguar), Men (Eagle), Cib (Owl), Caban (Earth), Etznab (Mirror), Cauac (Storm), and Ahau (Sun). Combined with thirteen tones of creation (galactic tones), the Tzolk'in creates a unique energetic signature for every day. The Maya were master astronomers, and their zodiac reflects a profound understanding of time as cyclical and spiritual, connecting human destiny to the rhythms of the cosmos.
