Welcome to the mysterious- yet previously neglected - world of Aztec astrology! The one proud, meso-American civilization of Mexico observed and interpreted the stars in a a unique way. Like all pre-Columbian societies, they were isolated from the rest of the world, with no reference points to Western or Eastern traditions- other than the same star patterns of the night sky. Yet, without a written alphabet they created a system of stargazing so astonishing that it can pinpoint accurately any one day in 370,000 years! Gathered into the pages of this seminal modern interpretation of their astrological system are some remarkable insights into human nature. Aztec society considered astrology intergral to daily life and based it upon a 20-day cycle derived from a complex, two-tier 'calender'. All human behavior was governed by the characteristics allied to the twenty-day picture 'glyphs' of the Alligator, Wind, House, Lizard, Serpent, Death, Deer, Rabbit, Water, Dog Monkey, Grass, Reed Size: 5.5 x 0.5 x 8.5 inches. 128 pages.
