#chicchan

Today is Maya day 8 Chicchan (Kan in Aztec), another day that represents the energetic life force (Ik and Ben are the other two), but manifests as koyopa or what loosely translates to “body lightning,” similar to the Yogic concept of kundalini energy, or coiled energy situated at the base of the spine. Chicchan is this energy, the creator of all things, the bringer of rain. Chicchan days are powerful, especially those numbered 10 and 12, and are reserved to initiate Maya priests. A Chicchan period is a creative and productive time to connect with your inner self and transform experience into knowledge.

Chicchan natives are born intense and powerful, full of the extremities of life from their first breath. They exude primal energy of both the negative and positive components of life and flow between love and hate, compassion and contempt with such force that they cannot help but elicit fear and respect from others similar to Scorpionic energy. Like Scorpio, those born on a Chicchan day are intimately familiar with the thresholds of life and may have had to deal with the darker sides of life more often than the average person. They are very intelligent and generally adept at science, technology, or or psychology and usually quite psychic. 

People born on Chicchan days are associated with healing and medicine and an eternal quest for knowledge. They are natural teachers and are perceived as authoritative. The limelight seeks them out and is attracted to Chicchan’s mysterious and seductive allure despite their desire to stay behind the scenes. On the low side, they can be bossy and oppressive without realizing it. They will test people and obsess over imperfections and become demanding of comfort. Those born under Chicchan are forever restless in their desire for power of some kind -- over themselves, their environment, or others -- and can bend people and situations to their will when needed. 

Words used to describe people born under this sign are powerful, intelligent, sexy, seductive, clever, psychic, healing, teacher, capable, mysterious, compulsive, obsessive, restless, emotional, perfectionistic, controlling, manipulative.
