Summary: "Astrologer's Point of View"
Review: This author is one of the main voices in the Mesoamerican calendar debate. His approach is clearly defined for you. Many websites have his articles posted. This book's chart (1900 thru 2000) for determining your "day sign" involves less calculating than his later "Signs of Time" but you do need to count days. It includes the Maya AND Aztec names & glyphs, but he uses the English translation of the Aztec sign names. This field covers a variety of peoples: Maya, Toltec, Zapotec, Mixtec & Aztec. While there are variations between each group, the "Tonalpouhalli" (Aztec)/"Tzolkin" (Mayan) or Sacred Calendar(260-Day) follows the same day & number order regardless of the naming & year-bearer systems.

Summary: I have a question
Review: What is the difference between tonalpohualli and tomalamatl and Mayan astrology. When I was in Mexico my Tonalamatl was done. I am an obsidian butterfly, jaguar, cassa and hummingbird. When I used Bruce Scofield's book I came up with different symbols. Tonalamatl is based on the Codice Borgio. Is Scofield's the same version? My birthday is Sept. 10, 1948 in Canada. I want to learn the tomalamatl and want to know if that is what Bruce's book will teach me. My e-mail is: [e-mail] PLEASE ADVISE
