Caban/Earthquake
Today is Maya day 7 Caban (N’oj in Aztec) and the last day of day signs since this series began on 1 Etznab. This day sign is associated with the forces of movement as grand as an earthquake or as personal as a beating heart. Caban is the day sign of motion that is irrepressible and so it is also associated with intelligence; N’oj literally means “thought.” Caban can be thought of as the day sign of the “thinker.” Caban days are especially good days to solve problems and find the creativity to complete any endeavor. Caban periods are marked by political destabilization and boundary shifts.
Those born under the sign of thinkers and dreamers are abundantly clever and thoughtful; they are able to analyze and dissect things with their mind. They are patient, future-oriented and seem to never worry about trivial matters as they are concerned for the fate of us all. This is the sign most likely to fight for the rights of those who cannot fight for themselves through concrete, pragmatic steps and with an optimistic attitude. They can easily hold multiple perspectives in their head, are excellent negotiators and are comforted by their faith in humanity and the divine will of it all. Because they are always in their head, they tend to live simply and unbothered by the details of life that they often overlook. Prosperity comes easy as Caban-born are only interested in ideas that can be manifest into reality. Despite their penchant for reading and thinking, they like to actually see their ideas pan out; however, when plans go sideways they can break down. Knowledge is not the same as wisdom, and Caban are remarkably adept at transform the information they acquire into genuine wisdom that inspires others to admire and follow them. On the low side, their abilities can go to their head and they would be wise to avoid the trappings of vanity and self-importance. They can become frustrated with those who fail to keep up with their innovative visions. Naive idealism is your greatest enemy as you can struggle to see the reality of your ideas. People born in the high numbers may struggle with eccentricities.
Words used to describe people born under this sign are intelligent, innovative, idealists, optimistic, forward-thinking, pragmatic, visionary, prosperous, advocate, independent, wise, naive, vain, easily frustrated, self-important.
