The Tonalpohualli Calendar
The 20 Day Signs
The Tonalpohualli, the sacred 260-day calendar of the Aztec people, combines 20 day signs with 13 numbers to create a cycle that shaped destiny, governed ritual, and revealed the cosmic nature of each soul. These are the 20 signs — the animals, elements, and forces that mark each day and define those born within them.
