Find Your Mayan Zodiac Sign
A Mayan zodiac calculator finds your Nawal day sign from your birth date. In the sacred Tzolk'in calendar, every person is connected with one of 20 day signs and one of 13 Galactic Tones, creating a birth signature with its own rhythm, gifts, and life themes.
Calculate Your Mayan Zodiac SignWhat the calculator reveals
- - Your Nawal, or Mayan zodiac day sign
- - Your Galactic Tone number from 1 to 13
- - Your Tzolk'in birth energy and symbolic meaning
- - Element, direction, color, and personality themes
Is Mayan Zodiac the Same as Western Zodiac?
The phrase "Mayan zodiac" is a modern search term, but it usually points to the 20 Nawal day signs of the Tzolk'in calendar. Western astrology uses 12 zodiac signs based on the solar year. Mayan astrology uses a 260-day sacred count, combining 20 signs with 13 tones.
That means your Mayan zodiac sign is not based on a month range like Aries or Taurus. It is calculated from the exact day in the Tzolk'in cycle when you were born.

How do I find my Mayan zodiac sign?
Enter your birth date in the calculator. It converts the date into the Tzolk'in calendar and returns your Nawal day sign and Galactic Tone.
Is a Mayan zodiac sign based on my birth month?
No. Unlike Western zodiac signs, Mayan zodiac signs are not month ranges. They are based on the exact position of your birth date in the 260-day Tzolk'in cycle.
What is the difference between a Nawal and a Galactic Tone?
The Nawal is the day sign and symbolic center of the reading. The Galactic Tone is the number from 1 to 13 that shapes how the sign energy expresses itself.
