Mayan sign: Imix

Crocodile / Dragon · Day sign 1 of the Tzolk'in calendar

  • Origin
  • Nurturing
  • Intuition
  • Creative source

Imix is the first day of the Tzolk'in and is associated with the primordial waters and the beginning of creation. In Maya art it is depicted as a water monster, a crocodile or a creature bearing a water lily, and the world is imagined as a water lily floating on the crocodile's back. People born under this sign are emotionally deep, intuitive and nurturing; they become a source for those around them and give birth to new ideas. Their shadow side is taking on too much of other people's emotional burden and losing their balance in the flow of feelings. In love and friendship they act as a protective source for the people around them, and art, therapy, education and caregiving are close to this sign.
