The zodiac is a system of signs and their symbols based on the timeframe in which you were born. Of course, the Mayan system is quite similar, however, it has been referred to as one of the most forward-thinking kinds of astrology for its time.
According to the Mayan Astrology, there are 19 different zodiac categories that one can fall into. However, due to the cultural differences between current societies and the Mayan society, there is quite a bit of mystery surrounding the exact meaning behind the various signs. Much of the meanings and symbols used in the Mayan zodiac were important to their culture.
Ch’en is representative of the night, and often represents those who are night owls. If you fall under this sign, your most productive times will be from 9 pm until 4 am. Anything pertaining to night time resonates with you, from nocturnal animals like the Owl, to the moon in the sky. Also, night time colors, like black and dark blues are suited to you.
Those who fall under the Yax sign are open, loving and very giving to others. When needed, they will drop anything to help, however, they are not fans of confrontation. Instead, they are lovers of peace and are always trying to sort out the conflicts of others.

Maks can be quite confusing, as they are mysterious and secretive individuals. If you fall under this sign, it is likely that you keep most of your thoughts and personal life to yourself, until you get to know others enough to let them in. However, Maks do enjoy the company of others and are quite social.
