Men

Personality

visionary · perceptive · fortunate · ambitious · free · far-sighted

Among K'iche' Maya daykeepers, a person born on Tz'ikin (Yucatec Men) is described as visionary, perceptive and fortunate, able to see far like a bird in flight. Tz'ikin means 'bird', the intermediary between heaven and earth, and the day is associated with luck, prosperity and love.

Daykeepers credit Tz'ikin people with clear sight, intelligence, ambition and good fortune in material matters; they are said to be good at business, to attract resources and to have a gift for vision and for carrying messages between people and the sacred world. The challenge traditionally named is that wealth and good luck may make them careless, proud or greedy, and they must take care not to lose what they have gained.

In love and friendship Tz'ikin people are portrayed as charming and sought after, and the day itself is used for prayers to find a partner. In work they are suited to business, finance, trade, leadership and any career that calls for a broad view. People pray on Tz'ikin days for good fortune in business and money; the corresponding central Mexican sign is Cuauhtli, the eagle. As always, the number of the birth day shapes the reading.
