Discover your Mayan Tzolkin day sign and galactic tone with a free Mayan astrology chart. See your Haab position and Long Count date. No sign-up required.
The Tzolkin is the 260-day sacred calendar used by the ancient Maya, formed by combining 20 day signs with 13 galactic tones. Enter your birthday and this tool locates the exact day sign and tone that governed your birth date, along with your position in the separate 365-day Haab civil calendar and your Long Count date. Each of the 20 day signs, such as Imix, Ik, or Ahau, carries its own traditional element, direction, and meaning, and the galactic tone that pairs with it is said to describe the quality of energy or purpose attached to that day.
The 20 day signs also correspond to Aztec Nahuatl names, since the Tzolkin's structure was shared and adapted across several Mesoamerican cultures. Imix, for example, is linked to the Nahuatl Cipactli and the element water, while Ahau is linked to Xochitl and the element earth. Together the day sign, its element and direction, and the galactic tone form a single combined placement, similar in spirit to how a Western Sun sign combines with its ruling planet and element.
