The Tzolk'in Calendar System

 

• The (13x20) = 260 Tun/Day Tzolkin is composed of the two (13x20) wheels you see here.

• On the Tzolkin (13 x 20 = 260) Days are "Tun"

• Each Tun of 260 have specific energies unique to that day;

• None of the 260 are alike - they each have specific features.

The Long Count

• On the Long Count (18 x 20 = 360) Days are "Uinal"

• On the Long Count, the "Uinal" are the same 'energy' for each Uinal Day.

• The Day itself is different, but that is an ASPECT not paid attention on this count.

• Think of the "Uinal" days as simply the day to day sunshine - some are better than others, but at the end of the year the food is grown - so long as other ASPECTS are paid ATTENTION.

The Uinal Day energy are different than the Tun Day energy as they each track different ASPECTS of INTENTIONS as symbolized by the combinations of energy on each day.
