The Mayan Astrology Handbook

The Mayan Astrology Handbook starts by describing the 20 Mayan astrology signs or day signs. This correlates to the sun signs in Western astrology. Then the book talks about the numbers that are part of the system. These correspond to the influence of the moon in Western astrology. The next influence is the ruler of the Mayan week into which you were born. This can be compared to the rising sign. I give a short description of all 260 day signs that includes a bit about famous people born into each sign. Then comes the concept of the directions. Each day sign is ruled by a direction: North, South, East, or West. The nature of the directions cause harmonious or challenging interaction with each day sign and create a compatibility factor of this system. The book also offers a three step method for attuning to the Mayan astrology system. You can go from learning your day sign and number to following along with the direction and energy of each day to doing ceremony to welcome in each Mayan week. The ceremony is done by the Maya in their villages every 13 days. You can choose the level of participation that is best for you.
