Maya Sun Sign Imix: The Crocodile – Origin and Creative Power

Imix – The First Maya Sun Sign

The Maya Calendar consists of several interlocking cycles. One of the most important is the Tzolkin – a sacred 260-day calendar made up of 20 Sun Signs and 13 Tones. The first of the 20 Sun Signs is Imix (also known as Crocodile or Dragon), and it forms the beginning of all cycles.

Imix symbolises the primal ocean from which all life emerges. It is the creative matrix, the nourishing source, the foundation upon which all reality is built. In Maya cosmology, the crocodile represents the Earth itself, floating on primordial waters on the back of a great crocodile.

Characteristics of Imix

• Direction: East – the rising, the beginning
• Element: Water (primal ocean)
• Colour: Red
• Energy: Receiving, nurturing, beginning, creating

Imix as Birth Sign

If you were born with Imix as your Sun Sign, you bring a deep, nourishing energy into the world. You are intuitively connected to the collective, sensitive to the needs of others and have a natural ability to give birth to new ideas and projects. The challenge for Imix-born individuals often lies in not losing themselves in the needs of others.

Imix in the Tzolkin Cycle

As the first sign, Imix marks the beginning of each new 260-day cycle. An Imix day is a day of new beginnings, creative potential and openness to new impulses. Learn more at the Maya Calendar page at UmbraLux.
