(1st Night of Universal cycle)
(http://www.mayanmajix.com/TZOLKIN/DT/DT.html)
-----------------------------------------------------
The Number 3 relates to the three worlds of the Mayan cosmovision – Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld. It also symbolizes the three original hearth stones laid down by the Creator Gods. (In traditional Mayan homes, three stones can still be found on wooden stoves to hold the comal or tortilla griddle.) But 3 can be a difficult number nevertheless. Carl Jung, objecting to the notion of a Trinity, said that the number 3 is incomplete. The Maya would agree. This is a difficult number, and implies doubt, risk, uncertainty. Many traditional Daykeepers avoid initiating new projects on a 3 day.
MEN (TZ’IKIN) THE VISION OF THE BIRD: Signifies a bird, wealth, and all business negotiations. It is the nawal of economic well-being, good fortune. It is an auspicious day to give thanks and ask for financial well-being. It is the communication and mediation between Uk’ux Kaj and Uk’ux Ulew (Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth). Unlike those of some spiritual traditions, the Maya do not feel that material prosperity is undesirable or “non-spiritual.” Upon this day, we may thank the universe for whatever prosperity we currently enjoy while honestly expressing the intention that more prosperity may attend our lives. This day is as fortunate for love as it is for money; pay attention to relationship issues. Pay attention to dreams as well, for this is a day upon which one may experience powerful and important revelations through dreams.

Tz'ikin symbolizes the day when the birds showed the place where the sacred Corn was found. This is the day of the bird of good luck. Date of communication with the heart of Heaven and the Heart of Earth, through the invocation of space, air, light, clouds, cold, and the heat force that gives us life. Representation of all that exists in space. Day devoted to Heart of Heaven, Heart of the Earth. Symbol of good luck and material stability of the individual conscience and intelligence.

Symbolism:
The Maya called this day Men (mane), the root word for the verb "to make" or "to do". The glyph for the day is that of a head with dots in a line behind the eyes, which has been suggested to be evidence that the sign represented the old moon deity. This goddess is drawn with a headdress and shield of eagle feathers. And eagle's claw is also her symbol. This Mayan goddess was the patroness of weaving and other female activities. In this case, however, the day-signs symbolism doesnt match the personality type very well.Personality:
Men types are independent, ambitious, and escapist. They can be scientific, technically inclined, critical, and exacting, and they frequently have an interest, or background, in philosophy, science, or the more technical aspects of their chosen field. Men types are usually a bit ahead of their time in their thinking, and they tend to be experimental in many areas of life. They are perfectionists with exacting, critical minds that require challenges. Making plans and layouts is particularly appealing to them. Persons born under this sign are typically perfectionists capable of handling much detail. Men types are often unconventional in significant ways; they have their own set of rules in life that develop from their own unique perspective on things. They can be driven, yet they also enjoy a good escape now and then. They would probably just take off for parts unknown, but they usually have complex relationship entanglements to handle, so they dont. On a more positive level, many Men types are concerned with making the world a better place, and they only appear to be escapist to others. Those born under Men are usually popular and well-liked, which is interesting since they are the ones who tend to frequently bend the rules as understood by others. They will compete when necessary, and can be very serious about such things, but they usually try to avoid it. Competition with themselves is more their style and is perhaps the basis of their personal ambitions.Challenge:
To create a lifestyle that offers both freedom and companionship.Solution:
To gain a deeper knowledge of human nature. Men
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-5 (North)
This Lord is positioned at the midpoint of the series of nine. A person under the influence of G-5 seeks to be at the center of a group and will sometimes use others to get there. One of G-5's greatest challenges is to act from their centers and not to use or be used by others. People born under the influence of this lord become deeply involved in relationships but, for the most part, also struggle with them. They are sensitive people and they tend to be touchy about a number of things, including their own expectations. Because they seek perfection, they are sensitive to disappointments, and often need to develop more realistic expectations and avoid putting the burden of realitonship failures onto others.
Idealistic and compromising by nature, G-5 types are rarely content with the choices they have made. Their dark side includes a tendency to hold distorted opinions or to have over-inflated expectations of others.
At their worst, they can be blamers, blind to the reality that they are the cause of their own problems. Recognizing this pattern can be a tremendous step forward in a G-5's spiritual progress. These types need to be with others who are stable and helpful, and avoid those who could worsen their fears. They also need to be accepting of others. It is their own beliefs about relationships that both their problems and their solutions lie. A prominent moon, an emphasized seventh house, and Scorpio/Pluto are found in the charts of those born here.
