Eb'

Personality

sociable · generous · adventurous · communicative · purposeful · helpful

Among K'iche' Maya daykeepers, a person born on E (Yucatec Eb') is described as a traveller and communicator, generous and sociable, someone who opens roads for others. E is the day of the road of life: of travel and trade, of destiny, and of the choices that set a person on a course.

Daykeepers credit E people with friendliness, generosity, curiosity, a gift for making connections and the ability to guide others on their way; they are said to do well in commerce and travel and to be good at bringing people together. The challenge traditionally named is implied by the image itself: the road can be walked well or badly, and E people must take care with their choices, avoid wandering aimlessly and remember their responsibilities to others.

In love and friendship E people are portrayed as warm and outgoing, generous hosts and loyal companions, sometimes restless. In work they are suited to trade, travel, teaching and guidance, diplomacy and transport. Ceremonies on E days ask for safe journeys and successful business; in central Mexico the corresponding day is Malinalli, 'grass'. The number of the birth day shapes the full reading.
