Mayan sign: Etznab

Flint / Mirror · Day sign 18 of the Tzolk'in calendar

  • Truth
  • Clarity
  • Reflection
  • Sharpness

Etznab represents the flint knife and the mirror. In Maya ceremonies flint is a tool for cutting and offering, while the mirror is a symbol of reflection and of revealing the unseen. People born under this sign are honest, clear and inclined to speak the truth. They sense the reality behind misleading appearances and simplify complicated situations. Their shadow side is harsh language, judgmentalness and overly rigid attitudes in relationships. Work that calls for clarity, such as law, journalism, auditing, criticism, surgery and analysis, suits them. In relationships they value honesty; learning to use gentle language protects their bonds.
