4 The 20 Maya Nahual Day-Signs — Organized by the Four Sacred Directions
In Maya cosmology, the 20 day-signs of the Tzolk’in (Cholq’ij) are traditionally read in groups of five, each associated with one of the four cardinal directions — East, North, West, and South — plus the center. Read the master overview of all 20 day-sign meanings ↗.
East — Likin: Signs of Birth & New Beginnings
The East is where the sun rises — the direction of birth, new cycles, and the first breath of life. These five day-signs open the Tzolk’in count and carry the energy of initiation.
North — Xaman: Signs of Wisdom & Ancestors
The North is the direction of the ancestors and accumulated wisdom — cold, still, and clear-sighted. These signs govern endings that teach, memory, and the deer’s swift discernment.
West — Chikin: Signs of Transformation
The West is where the sun sets — the direction of descent, inner transformation, and the mysteries between worlds. These signs govern the crafts, the road walked, the jaguar’s power to move between realms.
South — Nohol: Signs of Growth & Abundance
The South is the direction of fullness — ripening, harvest, and the storms that renew the earth. These final five signs close the cycle and carry the Tzolk’in toward completion in Ajaw, the Sun.
No day-sign matches your search.
