Product Description
A contemporary and practical guide to Mayan astrological techniques
• Discusses the logic and meaning of the 20 day-signs of the Mayan calendar
• Explains the many cycles of Mayan astrology, such as the 9-day cycle of the Night Lords and the 13-day trecena
• Contains extensive tables of Mayan astrological data, allowing readers to cast their own Mayan horoscopes
How to Practice Mayan Astrology presents a contemporary guide to one of the most sophisticated astrological systems ever developed. Like other ancient peoples, the Maya looked to the cycles of the planets as markers of time and designators of order. The predictable cycles they observed became codified in the Mayan calendar and astrological system as a way of organizing the seeming chaos of human life.
Mayan astrology is based on 20 named days that are cycled 13 times to create a 260-day calendar, the Tzolkin. The authors explain the symbolism, logic, and meaning of the 20 day-signs; how these signs reflect 260 possible personality types; and how they can be used for divination. They also explain the important role of the Four Directions and the planet Venus in one’s personality matrix and life issues. Included are extensive, easy-to-use tables of Mayan astrological data, allowing readers to determine their day-signs, to see how these signs are also influenced by the cycle of the Night Lords and the 13-day trecena, and to cast their own horoscopes.

 How to Pratice Mayan Astrology The Tzolkin Calendar and Your Path September 18, 2008
This book is very user friendly. After doing some birth calculations on my own I found the authors personality desriptions amazingly accurate. For anyone who has an interest in astrology, I highly recommend Mayan astrology.

My further studies of the "Mayan Calendar" confirm MY ERROR. And I apologize to Mr. Scofield for my previous comments which were based on sound mathematics; but resulted in errors of interpretation of my findings. There ARE differiencs of interpretation between Senor Arguelles and Dr. Calleman. This book seems to accurately reflect research from a perspective similar to Dr. Carl Calleman. I have attempted to change my rating of this book without success; but now believe it warrants (at least) 4 stars. [10/30/2008]

Excellent learning tool for the Mayan method of astrology, and culture. March 6, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this book for two reasons; I became interested in the ancient Maya, as a project for my Anthropology class in college. The interest stayed with me, so the book was a natural progression. Secondly, I do natal astrology charts and discovered the astrologer, Bruce Scofield, online at "The Mountain Astrologer" website. As I read every article I could find by him, I discovered that he is an authority on the Maya culture.
The Mayan calendar in itself is a challenge...and if you're up to it, I recommend this book as a wonderful teacher. Bruce Scofield presents material that can be difficult to fathom, in a simple, easy to study and understand manner.
Highly recommended.
