One of my clients asked, “Why is
there only one posting for the each day, isn’t there different personalities or
astrological signs?” Great
question!! The Tzolkin calendar focuses on the cosmic and earth energies
that flow like a wave across our paths. We are cycle oriented on this planet for good
reason. Our cycles are the method we use
to create change and movement.
There is an connection between the individual and the “energies of the
day”. It was believed that we are chosen
to enter this planet on a particular day for a reason. Here are some examples of your connectivity
to your birthdate:
What are the lessons
you are here to learn?
What are your
contributions?
What tools are
available to you?
What direction are
you headed toward?
How does your birth
energies effect you
Journey?
There are 20 soul personality
types, and 13 levels in each cycle. Here’s an overview of the 20 soul personality
types, please note that this is a very basic description and not at all
comprehensive.
Imix: earth
source
Ik: spirit
breath
Akbal: hidden
treasures
Kan: new
beginnings
Chicchan: earth
dance
Cimi: introspect &
humility
Manik: guardian of the
gateway
Lamat: starseed
Muluc: reader of
signs
Oc:
matchmaker
Chuen: inner
child
Eb:
harvest
Ben:
angelic messenger
Ix:
power of heart
Men:
visionary
Cib: great
listener
Caban: guardian of
earth
Etznab: doorway to
duality
Cauac: lightning,
doorway
Ahau: touch of
light
The Tzolkin calendar is built like two wheels, the outer wheel
containing the twenty qualities shown above, and the inner wheel containing
thirteen tones that can be viewed as our inner cycle. These wheels progress one notch each day, but
with the inner wheel only containing 13 notches, and the outer containing 20,
when one wheel returns to its starting point it matches with a different point
on its counterpoint. This gives us a 260
day cycle, and then the whole things starts again, but
this time on a new level. Think of it as
a spiral, always going in circles but nonetheless rising with each turn.
Those who are born on a day with the same trait as the current day will likely find themselves having a stronger experience on that day, similar to those born under an astrological sign being more "in flow" with moon or planetary cycles that relate to their sign. This means more empowerment or struggle on
this day, depending on their ability to align. We will explore this "Birth Right" concept in another posting.
