So, I got this idea the other day to try and figure out Mayan astrology compatibility, just for fun, you know? I started by reading up on the Mayan calendar, which is way different from what we usually use. Turns out, they had a bunch of different calendars, but the one that matters for astrology is the Tzolk’in, a 260-day calendar.
First, I had to find my Mayan zodiac sign. You gotta match your birth date to the Tzolk’in calendar, and each day has a symbol, like a day sign. There are 20 of these day signs, and they repeat in a cycle. I used some online tools to convert my Gregorian calendar birth date to the Mayan calendar. It’s a bit tricky because you also need to consider the “number” associated with each day, which goes from 1 to 13. That whole process took a good chunk of time, honestly.
Once I had my sign (it’s Imix, by the way, which is like a dragon or crocodile), I started digging into what it means. Each sign has its own personality traits, strengths, and weaknesses. I found some charts and descriptions online, read through them, and made some notes on what Imix is all about. Apparently, Imix folks are creative, nurturing, and a bit unpredictable. Sounds kind of right, I guess.
Then came the fun part—figuring out compatibility. I learned that the Mayans believed certain day signs naturally vibe well together, while others might clash. It’s not just about the day signs themselves but also the numbers associated with them. For example, signs that are four or eight positions apart are thought to be pretty compatible, but those seven positions apart can be a challenge.
- I listed out a few of my friends’ birth dates and converted them to Mayan signs too.
- Then, I compared their signs and numbers to mine, using the compatibility rules I found.
- It was interesting to see which signs were supposed to be a good match and which ones weren’t.
- There was this one friend, their sign was way different but the numbers were a good match.
I spent a good few hours doing this, cross-referencing signs and numbers. I even made a little chart to keep track of everything. It felt like solving a puzzle, and it was pretty satisfying when things started to make sense. To be honest, it got a little confusing at times. But I managed to follow through.
In the end, I had this rough idea of which of my friends’ signs were most compatible with mine, at least according to Mayan astrology. Of course, it’s all just for fun, and real-life relationships are way more complex than any calendar can predict. But it was a cool little project, and I learned a bit about Mayan culture and astrology in the process. Plus, it gave me something fun to talk about with my friends, comparing our signs and seeing if the descriptions fit.
