What Is My Mayan Zodiac Sign

Mayan is another type of astrology the Mesoamerican civilization. They are one of the few ancient civilizations that created its own writing system. Mayans symbols or hieroglyphs are original to the Central Native American Nation. And this astrology is mainly believed have substance and bearing by the majority of the people apart from Native Americans. In fact the Mayans symbols were first discovered by an American, John Lloyd Stephens and an Englishman, Frederick Catherwood in 1839.

Normally Mayan astrology is principally a 260 day almanac known to be the count of days or Chol Qij. On the contrary, it comprises of 20 naguals or symbols that are irrelevant to our 12 zodiacal signs. And these twenty naguals hold a numerical co-efficient from 1 to 13 which alter the original meaning of the naguals. Besides there is a belief that a lot of similarities exist with the western astrology, as this Chol Qij is more of numerology than astrology since it is based on planetary positions.

At the same time, it has different signs like all other astrology zodiac signs. For instance, if your zodiac sign is scorpion according to tradition astrology, but if you checked your zodiac signs in Mayans astrology, then your zodiac sign will be some other signs or symbols.

There are so many things Mayans like the Mayans calendar, Mayans day sign, Mayans astrology, Mayans zodiac signs, Mayans glyphs moon sign, Mayans Sun sign and Mayans animal sign. According to Mayan culture, trees were intermediaries between the physical and spiritual worlds, which are necessary to life. But in other traditional astrology, trees might not act as the mediators between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Mayan zodiac signs

There are different signs which are based on calendar of Mayans, to name a few Mayans zodiac signs like Ch’en, Yax, Zac, Ceh, Mak, K’anK’in, Pax, Cayab, Kumk’u, Uayeb, Pop, Ou and zip and so on.

Besides this there are 20 different symbols to indicate each Mayans sign and apart from this it has its own calendar too. Indeed, as in western astrology, there is no single sign or planet that illustrates a person completely. As many of the peoples are not anthropologists, astronomers, archaeologists or astrologers. In fact Mayans astrology is shorter than tradition astrology and sometimes it seems to overlap with the personality traits.

Mayans seem to have a special insight into people born during diverse periods. Most of the people are not complete believers in astrology but they are always occasionally interested to know about their symbols signification. In fact, many people want to know about their zodiac signs and some other people are very curious to know about their future.

On the other hand, here are few Mayans symbols names such as Jaguar, eagle, Murcielago (bat), earth, night, sun, Alacran (scorpion), Lagrato (Lizard), Mono (Monkey), Serpiente (snake) and Tortuga (turtle/tortoise) etc.

In fact, December 21, 2012 is the end date of great cycle of Mayan calendar, logically known as the Great Year or Platonic Year. And on this day, the period of Mayans culture will complete which believe from the past 26,000 period of Mayan culture. People are thinking that this day will be one of the most momentous days of Mayan culture as on this particular day, astronomical and Mayan mythical events occur.
