The Mayan Zodiac

In a land far away from ancient Egypt and Sumer, yet another civilization sought to decipher how the movement of the sky affects humans. This is the case of the Mayans who, as historians aptly put it, managed to accurately predict solar eclipses as well as planetary ingresses. The Mayan calendar divided the year into 260 days and several interwoven cycles which in turn are further broken down into sets of twenty days, each representing a day-sign ruled by a particular deity. Overlapping them there was a system of thirteen galactic tones which, in a manner similar to Western numerology, is meant to lend color to the astrological portrait.
