Mayan (Tzolk'in) · Tzolk'in (Maya 260-day calendar) day-sign
Ben
Ben is the reed nawal linked to authority, growth, and stems that bend without breaking. Mayan summaries tie Ben to leadership, calendars, and links between earth and sky. Day-sign Ben often marks responsibility and visible roles. Reeds grow in wetlands in nature. Leadership in stories is fed by community. Pride helps when it protects others and harms when it deafens.
Some teachings picture Ben as a pillar or stalk that steadies the group. Ben is one day in the twenty-day count. Your birth tone colors how firm that authority feels. Authority in lore works best when it serves the group, not ego alone.
Example: one real birth date
The Tzolk'in (Maya 260-day calendar) day-sign for January 24, 1997 is 2 Ben (Reed).
Ben is that day-sign. It changes every day. It does not follow a sun-sign month.
