Mayan Astrology: Find Your Sacred Day Sign
Discover your Tzolk'in birth sign, sacred number, and place in the 260-day Mayan calendar.
Mayan astrology offers a distinctive way to explore identity through the sacred 260-day Tzolk'in calendar. In this practical guide, Daniel Reyes introduces the 20 day signs, 13 sacred numbers, and thirteen-day trecena that together form a personal birth combination. Learn why your complete birth date matters, how calendar conversion identifies your Tzolk'in day, and how to interpret its traditional symbolism. With worked examples, guided questions, and journaling exercises, you will develop a personal Daykeeper's practice grounded in the rhythms and imagery of the calendar.
The Tzolk'in belongs to the sacred calendar traditions of the Maya and combines numerical and day-name sequences into a repeating 260-day cycle. The book approaches its symbolism as a subject for respectful study, personal reflection, and continuing engagement with the calendar.

📖 Why choose it
Why this book is worth reading
The appeal of Mayan astrology lies partly in its unusual calendar structure: twenty day signs and thirteen numbers combine to create a much larger symbolic system. This guide makes that structure approachable by giving readers a practical sequence to follow. Rather than leaving you with a collection of unfamiliar names, it encourages you to record your birth combination, explore its imagery, compare calendar elements, and develop a personal journal. It is a useful starting point for anyone who wants to understand the Tzolk'in through active study.
⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Daniel Reyes gives beginners a clear framework for approaching the Tzolk'in through the Daykeeper's Compass. The four steps—Find, Name, Number, and Explore—provide a memorable organizing method, while the contents extend the introduction into the twenty day signs, thirteen numbers, trecena structure, and daily journaling. The preview is particularly effective at explaining why a Gregorian birthday cannot simply be matched to a Tzolk'in sign. Its practical notebook exercise also gives readers something concrete to begin. One limitation is important: the supplied preview does not actually show the calendar-conversion formula or complete a worked birth-chart calculation. Readers will need the subsequent instructional material to verify their own results. Overall, this is an approachable introduction with a useful learning structure.
