An introductory note to the Aztec horoscope

The Aztec calendar has a sacred meaning and is fundamentally based on the exact position of both the Sun and the Moon at the time of birth. That’s how ancient priests used to reckon a child’s astrological chart. The system is made up of twelve signs represented by either animals, vegetables or objects closely linked to the sacred symbols.

The Aztec Horoscope originally stems from the Mayan people. Its twelve signs are represented by the crocodile, the house, the flower, the snake, the deer, the jaguar, the cane or the reed, the rabbit, the eagle, the monkey, the sylex and the dog. For this particular system, the exact position of the stars at the time of birth is paramount for they mark people’s development and future fate. Priests also used to make predictions and guessing based on the coming of natural phenomena like eclipses, earthquakes and passing comets.

You’ll have the chance to know what your sign is, its features, your ascendant or rising star and everything the future has in stock for you. This horoscope will let you take a closer look into yourself, will bring your future back to the present and will keep you posted on those surprises the planets and the stars want to give you. It will no doubt lead you by the hand into the ins and outs of life.

Aztec horoscope has a singular characteristic; it’s different from the other like the occidental zodiac. Aztec horoscope’s Ascendant coinciding with the natural elements has a strong influence on the life of people but it hasn’t got any coincidence with the Aztec signs. Only the mixture between the ascendant and the sign gives the characteristic traits of each person.
