Day Sign: Ahau / Light / Xochitl / Flower or Lord (South) ~ Tone: 8 (Justice), Kin 060

-----------------------------------------------------

The number 8 is highly auspicious. If 1 and 7 are the beginning and the end, then 1 + 7 = 8, making 8 a number of completion or wholeness, much like the number 4. This is why there is some sort of ritual for almost every 8 day, and why some extremely traditional communities have a special local shrine dedicated to the number 8. Of course, 4 + 4 = 8, so the wholeness implied in the number 4 is doubled here, as if the wholeness of the fourfold universe were seen from the viewpoint of both polarities: night and day, light and darkness, sun and moon, yin and yang. The number 8 has been said by Maya teachers to represent the weaving of life, the thread or cord of time. It is also sometimes said that the Mayan symbol for 8, a bar with three dots over it, has a symbolic meaning, with the three dots on top representing humanity and day, and the bar underneath representing Mother Earth.
Ahau (Ajpu) The Hunter: Signifies a blowgun hunter, a leader, struggle, heroism, death and hunting. It is the nawal of the sun, the day to ask for wisdom, talent, and physical fortitude. It is the nawal/guardian and patron of flowers. It is the day of mental and psychological tests and challenges, for the winner of such tests and challenges (heroic like the mythic Hero Twins); prophet, fortune-teller, psychic, diviner, accuracy in divination and prophecy; may also signify an eclipse. The day of the grandparents who have departed.

Ahau - South

Symbolism:

The Mayan name for this day-sign was Ahau (ah-HAW), which means lord or chief. They glyph for the day is sometimes a four petaled flower though it also appears as a face. To the Maya, the flower was a symbol of the lord or sun, and this was its day.

Personality:

Ahau types are loving, devoted, artistic, dreamy and romantic. They can be loyal friends and lovers, but often suffer in relationships because of unrealistic expectations. They are extremely devoted to others, including friends and lovers, and are hurt badly when they are left for another. Ahau types have a beautiful vision of what life, and most importantly what life with another, can be. In some cases, an obsession with the future and with some kind of ultimate perfection generates illusions, fuels unrealistic expectations and brings about disappointments. In other cases, Ahau types will live a life dedicated to an ideal, and they will accomplish much, sometimes changing the world in the process. Art and beauty draw the interest of those born under this day-sign. Many become successful artists, writers, or craftspeople who produce decorative, aesthetically pleasing products. Ahau types are generally intelligent and hard-working, but they can also be stubborn and uncompromising. One major problem is their unwillingness to compromise their ideals. Ahau types are determined people who would rather not participate than have to accept a less-than-perfect situation. Ahau is a sign that needs to combine realism and idealism, and when this compromise is able to be made, their doors will open to a more perfect world.

Challenge:

To handle disappointments due to unrealistic expectations; to accept the world that is not up to their hopes and wishes; to tolerate unfairness in others.

Solution:

To keep life simple and to appreciate the little things. Ahau

1-Ben

Beneath the 1-Ben surface personality is a person who seeks constant self-improvement. Such people have a strong need to persuade others, to conquer their enemies, and to achieve their objectives. While they make good teachers and role models, they also have a tendency to be somewhat self-righteous and overconfident of their own opinions.

---

G-1

This powerful lord rules the Center. Persons born under it tend to be direct, assertive, and even combative toward others. As a result of this intensity, they tend to experience strong, forceful events in their lives.

They are often driven by very basic or primal needs. Leadership is one of their greatest challenges; they must learn to utilize leadership skills. G-1 people can quickly move to the center of things, but once there, they are not sure that others will follow them. If they dont learn to be more sensitive to how others perceive them and develop an understanding of social norms, they will lose followers.

G-1 types want to be where the action is and their contribution of energy and enthusiasm is usually vital to the groups in which they participate. Father-related issues often play into a G-1s leadership dysfunction. Having a distant or abusive father sometimes results in inadequate training for leadership. Sometimes even a good paternal relationship can cause stress for a G-1, who then tries to reach real or perceived high standards. In either case, an understanding of the father is probably very important to a G-1's self understanding.

The dark side displayed by these people has to do with uncontrollable urges to put oneself first. G-1's general personality traits are similar to those of Mars in Western astrology.
