mayan zodiac calculator

Curious about your Mayan zodiac sign? Use this calculator to find your Tzolk'in day sign, galactic tone, and Haab date from your birth date. It is a fast, practical way to explore Mayan calendar symbolism and personality themes.

What Is a Mayan Zodiac Calculator?

A Mayan zodiac calculator maps a modern date to key parts of the ancient Mesoamerican calendar system. Most people are looking for their Mayan “sign,” which usually refers to the Tzolk'in day sign (one of 20 symbols), combined with a number from 1 to 13 called a tone.

Together, these form a sacred day identity often interpreted as personality tendencies, energetic strengths, and life lessons.

How This Calculator Works

1) Tzolk'in Day Sign (20-symbol cycle)

The Tzolk'in calendar rotates through 20 named day signs, such as Imix, Ik’, K’an, and Ajaw. Each sign carries symbolic meanings related to nature, leadership, emotion, communication, creativity, and transformation.

2) Galactic Tone (13-number cycle)

At the same time, a 13-day numeric cycle runs in parallel. Tone values (1–13) describe the rhythm or style of your sign energy—initiation, balance, movement, structure, flow, and completion.

3) Haab Date (365-day civil cycle)

The calculator also gives your Haab date, which belongs to a separate 365-day civil calendar. It adds context and helps connect your result to a broader Mayan time framework.
