Tzolk'in
Glossary · Last updated: 2026-07-26
The Tzolk'in is a 260-day cycle formed by 20 day-signs (nawales) combined with 13 tones. Mayan day-sign astrology in popular apps usually maps your Gregorian birth date into this count.
Living Maya communities hold the Tzolk'in as sacred. Apps like ours use simplified arithmetic for cultural learning, not ceremony or divination authority.
Day-sign vs year-sign
Our Mayan card uses the Tzolk'in day-sign for your birth date, not the Haab civil month or Long Count. That is one lens among many in Maya calendrics.
