Mayan sign: Caban

Earth / Earthquake · Day sign 17 of the Tzolk'in calendar

  • Grounding
  • Intuition
  • Intelligence
  • Transformation

Caban represents the earth, the movements of the ground and the mind's power of thought. In the Maya interpretation it means living in harmony with natural cycles and feeling the pulse of the world. People born under this sign are grounded and observant, and they combine intuition with logic. They see the deeper causes of events and sense when change is due. Their shadow side is sudden mood swings and outbursts that shake those around them. They are strong in work related to nature and the land, such as geology, environmental science, agriculture, architecture and planning. In relationships they build bonds slowly but lastingly and keep their balance even in moments of change.
