It is very interesting to discover that different cultures around the world – Greeks, Romans, Celts, Chinese, Chaldeans- separated not only in distance but by time, coincide in saying that the stars have an influence on the personality of human beings according to their date of birth and sign.

The Mayans, considered great astronomers and mathematicians, also created their own horoscope. Unlike the Greek horoscope we know traditionally, they divided their own into 13 parts instead of 12. This is because the Mayans gave more importance to the Moon that the Sun. Thus, their year was divided into 13 lunar cycles of 28 days that gave a total of 364 days. The last day, the 365th, they named “Day of time outside of time” and dedicated it exclusively to celebrations.

Each sign represents a specific animal that shows the characteristics of a person according to the day they were born.
