Tzolkin chart showing the twenty Mayan day signs with their
English meanings. Also shown are the 260 kin numbers, which
can be cross-referenced to Tzolkin Chart 1.
“You see number forty-three on the Tzolkin Chart 1, go over
to the edge and that corresponds to four Akbal.”
“So my true date of birth, according to Mayan tradition

“Where can I find more information on the Mayan people?”
“Go to this website: www.mayanhoroscopes.com”
“If we were back on Earth, I could.”
