THE BLUE FEATHER
numbers the number of days in December of your birth. That
number is 12. The total of 36,159 + 571 + 12 = 36,742. From that
you divide by 260, which yields 141.31538. We only use the
numbers to the right of the decimal point, .31538 and we
multiply it by 260. The results are 81.9988, round up to the next
whole number and you get 82. Now you look on the chart called
Tzolkin Chart 1 for the number 82. You find it is in the 5th Winal
column, it is one bar, that is equal to the number five, read over
to the left hand column of the Mayan Day Signs and you will see
that corresponds to Akbal, so that translates to 5 Akbal. Akbal
means night in English.”
“I’m a 5 Akbal, that’s neat.” Jonathan said with a big smile.
“Viviana, what’s the date of your birthday?” Tital asked.
“I was born just before a big hurricane called Kenna on
October 23rd, two thousand and two,” she said while holding
Moka on her lap.
“Two thousand and two, your year corresponds to 37,255 on
the Year Chart. 510 is the number that corresponds to the
Month Chart for October. You add 23 for the day of your birth in
October. That would look like this: 37,255 + 510 + 23 = 37,788.
Then you divide by 260, which equals 145.33846. Then only use
the remainder, .33846 and multiply by 260. That comes to
87.9996. It would be 88 on the Tzolkin Chart 1. Therefore, the
88 would equal a 10 Lamat,” Tital told her.
“So, I am a 10 Lamat, a ten rabbit in English,” Viviana said.
“That’s correct.”
