My concepts and theories of spirituality may seem to contradict the orthodox and conventional ways of Christianity, but I am indeed a Christian. Maybe a liberal Christian, perhaps – but nonetheless a Christian. I think in order to become wise and knowledgeable in your beliefs is to explore your spiritually and understanding of yourself. Ignorance is a blindfold wrapped tightly until you learn how to actually see.
I got a brief Maya Aztec Astrology report done for fun and the results are down below. But what I realized from this little experiment was that all of it was true. Not because they told me it was, but I could instinctively identify with the information given to me and saw the validity in it.*

Introduction – The Astrology of Time
The ancient Maya and Aztec astrologers studied the mysterious influence of the rhythms of the sky on earthly life. Everyone knows the Sun rises and sets every day — this is the basic rhythm of life around which we set our clocks and calendars. What the ancient astrologers discovered was that other time cycles existed that were multiples of this basic day cycle. This fact was discovered about 100 years ago in Europe and these cycles (there are many of them) are now called biorhythms.
The most important time cycles in ancient Mayan and Aztec astrology are those of the day, 9-days, 13-days, and 20-days. Additionally, years are counted also, in groups of 4 and 13. Each day is then part of several other cycles, so no two days are exactly the same. Your Maya/Aztec horoscope below shows exactly where in each of the cycles you were born. Each category below examines a specific cycle and a specific aspect of your personality. Keep in mind that our personalities are complex and contain many contradictions. All of us present a different “face” depending on who we meet. The delineations below will reflect this, but they will also give you a clear picture of who you really are. The true value of astrology lies in self-knowledge, the first step to wisdom.
Your Most Personal Traits — The Day-Sign of Your Birth
Here are your strongest and most obvious personality traits. The delineation below describes who you are and how you appear to others, at least on the surface. In Aztec astrology this part of is your horoscope is your Tonalli, or Day-Sign, the form bestowed upon you by the Sun.
EagleEagle: You like to be a free spirit. You would probably just take-off for parts unknown but you usually have some complex relationship issues to deal with, so you don’t. But you like time alone and tend to keep a good distance from most people. You have your own set of rules in life that has developed from your own unique perspective on things and you tend to take an experimental approach to many areas of your life. At worst, you can become too self-involved, at best, you are a person who pioneers changes and furthers new developments in the social world.
Many persons born under this day-sign are noted for their intellect. Frequently Eagle types have an interest in, or background in, philosophy or science, or the more technical aspects of their chosen field. You are probably a perfectionist and your exacting, critical mind needs challenges. Making plans and layouts may be particularly appealing to you. You have a strong intellect but you also tend to think in rigid patterns. As a result, you may be stubborn and have difficulties breaking bad habits.
Oddly enough, there is an escapist side to you. This may be simply a lazy streak, or at worst, drug or alcohol abuse. On a more positive level, you may be concerned with making the world a better place and you only appear to be an escapist to others. The creation of a fantasy, an escape from society or a personal journey within — these are things that appeal to you on a deep level. Perhaps this is your way to simulate the high, soaring flights of an eagle.
You are probably very popular and well-liked, which is kind of interesting since you tend to bend the rules frequently. One thing you find uncomfortable is competition. You will compete when necessary, and you can be very serious about such things, but you usually try to avoid it. Competition with yourself is more your style and has probably become a pattern in your life.
In relationship matters you can be contradictory. You are very interested in relationships and, in order to explore them, will make life choices that compromise your free-wheeling instincts. Since you are a great believer in freedom, you stress this principle not only for yourself, but also for your partners or friends, and are therefore willing to break with convention in living situations.
Your Deeper Self — The 13-Day Week of Your Birth
Each of us reacts to the world around us in different ways. Our reactions are mostly unconscious; they represent what our deeper self needs. Our reactions both attract and repel us from things, people, and situations. What we like, what we like to do, and who we really are is shown by the 13-day week called the Trecena that we were born under. Each of these periods begins with the number 1 and the name of the day-sign that starts it. A number is attached to your position within the 13-day period that may be an important number for you.
This is the ninth day of the 13-day period beginning with 1-Deer. Beneath your surface personality you struggle with freedom vrs. security issues. Part of you wants to take off for parts unknown, but the rest of you wants the security of home and family. You need relationships but you are also nomadic. Because your struggle with this conflict leads you to unique solutions, you are probably an innovator of sorts, or at least have created a somewhat unconventional lifestyle for yourself. You probably also have unusual interests that are of an investigative or searching nature. You are usually ahead of your time in one way or another but you do tend to be unusually rigid in your thinking.
