How the 20 Signs Work
In the Tzolk'in, the 20 day signs cycle continuously, each day governed by the next sign in sequence. They combine with 13 tone numbers (1–13) to create 260 unique day-energies (20 × 13 = 260) before the cycle repeats.
Your day sign is determined by the day you were born. It shapes your personality, gifts, challenges, and cosmic purpose — similar to how a zodiac sign works in Western astrology, but based on a completely independent mathematical system.
