HOW TO: Determine your TONALLI
Determining your Tonalli If you are interested in calculating your Tonalli or "Aztec Sign," follow the 13 steps and read the resources listed below to figure it out:1. Visit the following Webpage: http://www.uaq.mx/ingenieria/publicaciones/calendarios/2. Enter the Year born in the year field: Año: 3. Enter the Month born in the month field: mes:4. Enter the Day born in the day field: día:5. Click calcula or 'calculate' 6. A page similar to the screen capture below appears:http://nahuatl.info/images/3acatl_9cozcacuauhtli_copy.jpg7. In the lower left side of the results, notice the Year Bearer or Año that you were born. For example, the Year Bearer in the screen capture above is Yei Acatl or '3 Reed'Each year of the Xiuhpohualli or 'solar year count' of the Aztec Calendar represents one of four possible Year Bearers or glyphs that define a given year and a time period of the Earth's daily axial rotation as summarized in Table 1 below:Table 1. Year Bearers and Representations, in Nahuatl and Translated.
..>
Nahuatl Year Bearer &Translation
Nahuatl Representation & Translation
Calli 'house'
yohualnepantla 'at midnight; midnight'
Tochtli 'rabbit'
tlanezi 'morning'
Acatl 'reed'
tlacotonalli 'midday; daytime'
Tecpatl 'flintstone'
teotlac 'afternoon, evening'..>(Campbell 1997; Karttunen 1992)Thus, each year begins at different, daily time periods of the Earth's axial rotation. For example, the Year 2005 is "Year 6 House," meaning all daily cycles begin at nighttime. The Year 2006 is "Year 7 Rabbit," meaning all daily cycles begin in the morning. Year 2007 (beginning March 12) will be "Year 8 Reed," with all daily cycles beginning at midday; while Year 2008 will be "Year 9 Flintstone," with all daily cycles beginning in the evening. These Year Bearers (Calli, Tochtli, Acatl, and Tecpatl) also have counts from 1-13 because the number 13 is a sacred number in the Tonalpohualli or the 'Sacred Aztec Calendar.' So, this explains why year Yei Acatl or '3 Reed' has a count. See this Webpage for more information on what the numbers 1-13 mean:http://web.nmsu.edu/~citlalin/anahuac/lesson1.htm 8. Now that you have determined your Year Bearer and count (1-13) based on the earlier calculation, you can determine your Tonalli or 'Aztec Day Sign.' Let's refer to the previous image again:..fo/images/3acatl_9cozcacuauhtli_copy.jpg">http://nahuatl.info/images/3acatl_9cozcacuauhtli_copy.jpg 9. Notice your Gregorian birth date; or, in the example above, the number 21 is my birth date. I was born approximately at 4:00 a.m. EST on January 21st in the Gregorian calendar. However, my Year Bearer is Acatl or Reed and during Year Reed, all days begin at midday. Since I was born before the start of January 21st (midday during Year Acatl), I must use the previous Gregorian date of January 20th to correctly configure my Tonalli. See the image below, for the correction:http://nahuatl.info/images/3acatl_8cuauhtli_copy.jpg So, my corrected Tonalli or Aztec Day Sign is Chicuei Cuauhtli or 8 Eagle as shown in the screen capture above.
10. Now, based on what you have learned by following these steps, you can correctly configure your "corrected" Gregorian birth date. For example, if you were born at 11:00 p.m. during the Year Tecpatl on August 10th, when all days begin in the evening, then your Gregorian birth date is correctly correlated. However, if you were born on August 10th around 2:00 p.m. during the Year Tecpatl, when all days do not begin until the evening, then you must correct the Gregorian date and reconfigure your Gregorian birth date, which will be August 9th rather than August 10th.11. Once you figure your correct Gregorian birth date, go back to Steps 1-5 and repeat them to determine your correct Tonalli. 12. Extra step: visit http://web.nmsu.edu/~citlalin/anahuac/calendar.htm, to learn more about the daily and sacred calendars of the Tonalmachiotl or "Aztec Calendar."13. Also: A Tonalpohqui or a 'Calendar Consultant' can inform you about the meaning of your Year Bearer and the significance of your Tonalli. There are also a number of publications from Mexico that provide details. I will post some of the interpretations from these publications when I have more time.So for now, you should at least be able to identify your Tonalli.

Citlalin's FREE Name Change kit for Mexicans with Hispanic Slave Names Current mood: energetic
FREE Name Change kit for Mexicans with Hispanic Slave NamesCheck out this listing (below) of Hispanic slave names. The list is from the book 500 AÑos Fregados pero Cristianos '500 Difficult but Christian Years.' The book records slave master holds on the land and as well as his Mexican slaves. Brown people were branded with European slave names in the same manner that Blacks got White European slaver names because slavers treated us as their possessions! Slavers developed a number of tactics to brand us with their names, including the enforcement of the brutal Encomienda system of slavery, as well as sweeping Christian conversions and Confirmation naming ceremonies.
One clue to this unspoken history of enslavement is the clear lack of diversity in our Brown peoples' last names. This lack of diversity screams of slavery because only a handful of wealthy land and ranch owners got to own slaves. That's why we all got a few repetitive, uncreative names like Hernandez, Fernandez, and Gonzales in the same manner that Blacks just got branded by a few slavers' names like Jones, Washington, and Johnson. Think about it!! It does not take rocket science to figure out where our Hispanic names come from. Check the list below…
