Tz'ikin — the bird

Tz'ikin in K'iche' · Men in Yucatec · Eagle seal in the Dreamspell

the bird·vision·prosperity

You were born on Tz'ikin, the day of the bird, which many in the highlands call the eagle. Tz'ikin is the nawal of material luck: everything that touches money and a well-stocked home passes through it. In Momostenango, the words of the day are to ask, to weep for something, money and silver. It is also the day that bridges God and people, sky and earth, and that sees everything from on high. You were born with one eye on the heights and the other on your wallet, and both see clearly.

The strength of Tz'ikin

Your strength is seeing from above. People born on Tz'ikin often spot the deal before it exists: the holiday that turns into a work contact, the empty shop you can already picture full. In the tradition, those born on this day long for everything that makes life full, in things and in spirit, and they ask for it without shame. Luck with money and business usually goes with Tz'ikin, and not only in trade: it holds for any line of work you choose.

What the Chart tells you about Tz'ikin

The reading of Tz'ikin continues in the Complete Maya Chart: the shadow, how you deal with people, work and money, what you came to do, your Maya Cross (the four nawales that walk with you), your year and your personal calendar — written for your date.
