So, what’s your sign?

Boy, this is fun… Everything you ever wanted to know about Aztec calendars… and even a calculator to look up your sign.

In the odd even I find myself back in the age of disco (hey, calendars were circular for a reason … everything old is new again), I know what to say when asked:

Ome-Ozomahtli — which translates: “Hey, hey, we’re the monkeys…” (well, literally it’s “two monkey…” but same diff…)

There’s a handy-dandy calculator for those of us a little challenged by the conversion process… or just curious about our own Tonalli:

(… as to my Xihuitl — birth year — non of ya bizness!)
