Earth

Caban (Yucatan) / No'j (Kiche)
Personality: Mentally active, rational, intelligent, and practical. Generally liberal and progressive. Argumentative and have strong convictions.

The Earth sign represents everything about the brain and its powers for the Mayans. Maybe you can see the convolutions of the brain on its symbol? It definitely does not resemble the earth element in classical astrology. Earth people have strong and active brains. The contents of the Earth sign are intellect, intelligence, strong analytical skills, mental powers, and bright new ideas. As a native of this sign, you like to be an eternal student. Your outlook on life is like a scientist, a philosopher, or both.

Another name for this sign is “Earthquake.” You tend to create earthquakes in the sense of the mental world, the world of ideas. These earthquakes become emotionally visible, especially when people around you do not understand you. But the meaning of the word is not limited to a superficial level. In fact, you are here to bring these new ideas for the collective consciousness to be ready and evolve towards a new level [...]

Deep down, you like to be a pioneer for a change! You bring the future thinking into today’s world through your “Earthquakes.” These movements of mental tectonic planes will not always be smooth, and you are prone to conflict in your relationships. Suppose your mental energy is not transmitted to other like-minded people over a long period. In that case, you might find yourself in loneliness and despair. So you must find such people who are in similar frequency with you and hold on to those friendships. At the end of the day, you will find that there are not so many of them.

You may be an inspiring philosopher and a visionary, a debater, or someone with a confused mind. Brand new ideas from your brilliant brain would benefit the world or become another false dream. You have the potential to go in either direction. What is decisive is how you are going to deal with yourself. Be mindful. You must learn how to calm down and balance your excessive mental activity to avoid self-harming earthquakes. In other words, you need to “ground” your mental energy. Maybe this is the real meaning behind the name of this sign. Come to Earth!

I highly recommend methods like journaling or note-taking. These will help you to empty your brain and unload your excessive ideas. Why not create something actually by writing? Write a blog or a first draft of a book. Worst case scenario; get a giant whiteboard in your house and write everything on it [...]

You prefer to be a calm Earth in your relationships. You tend to be loyal and compromising, and you have good manners in a marriage situation [...]

Challenge: Carrying out your own life in accordance with a plan.
Remedy: Becoming more flexible and patient.

Appropriate professions: artist, doctor, spiritual guide, mathematician.

Signs you get along with: Earth, Road, Wind and Deer
Signs that contribute to your growth: Earth, Cane, Crocodile, Serpent and Water

Cane

Ben (Yucatan) / Aj (Kiche)
Personality: Popular, knowledgeable, successful, and talented. A person who fights for principles. Responds to all challenges.

The Mayans define the Cane sign as the trunk of the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is a central symbol in Mayan mythology and cosmology. Cane people stand firm and strong like a thousand years old trees. You have a strong character with unshakeable confidence. Which comes with the experience of knowing oneself. You own your personal power. Hardships of life make you stronger, and you grow thanks to them. All mistakes and defeats are simply lessons for you. While your outlook is tough, you have a healing, compassionate heart.

Your striking qualities are your strong principles, a desire for excellence, inner strength, logic, and leadership. Also, you are intelligent, brave, and productive. You are a pioneer who likes to take risks. You want to educate yourself in the best way possible, or you were blessed to have the means for it, thanks to your family.

You are the spiritual essence, protector, and guiding light of the home and family. Being courageous and selfless, you demonstrate a typical fatherly figure. With strong leadership qualities, you carry a mission to direct the community you live in in new directions. You may be an important figure in your community and a good parent. You wish to have many children. This role of being a parent also includes large families. Even if you may not have children, you tend to take on a parenthood role in your social circles.

As the trunk of a big tree is large and strong, it has a weak point. You most often lack flexibility with your views and attitudes towards people. Although you are armed with all these remarkable qualities, no fruits will be served if no one can reach your branches [...]

You can create problems at work and in marriage life. Your high expectations and wanting to be recognized all the time will usually be sources of conflict and disharmony. This attitude may break your relationships over time. You may not realize how you hurt other people by ignoring their fragilities when you go into a bossy mood. Remember, like an inflexible cane will break with the conflicting forces, you will. Maybe you do not feel so fragile [...]
