How to
Practice Mayan Astrology presents a contemporary guide to one of
the most sophisticated astrological systems ever developed. Like
other ancient peoples, the Maya looked to the cycles of the planets
as markers of time and designators of order. The predictable cycles
they observed became codified in the Mayan calendar and
astrological system as a way of organizing the seeming chaos of
human life.
Mayan
astrology is based on 20 named days that are cycled 13 times to
create a 260-day calendar, the Tzolkin. The authors explain the
symbolism, logic, and meaning of the 20 day-signs; how these signs
reflect 260 possible personality types; and how they can be used
for divination. They also explain the important role of the Four
Directions and the planet Venus in one’s personality matrix and
life issues. Included are extensive, easy-to-use tables of Mayan
astrological data, allowing readers to determine their day-signs,
to see how these signs are also influenced by the cycle of the
Night Lords and the 13-day trecena, and to cast their own
horoscopes.
