## What is Tonalamatl?

Learn to read the timekeeping system of ancient Mexico. Explore its cycles with interactive wheels, look up any date and discover the meanings of its signs, numerals, regents and guardian animals.
Tonalamatl brings together a calendar and the teachings of a living oral tradition from Mexico. You can start with today, browse other dates or explore the day you were born.

UNDERSTAND HOW EACH DAY IS COUNTED
Seven wheels show the elements that make up each date. Move forward or back to see what changes and what stays the same. Tap a wheel to see how its sequence works.
You can explore how the thirteen numerals, twenty signs, trecenas, veintenas and years relate to each other. The Gregorian date appears alongside.

EXPLORE THE CALENDAR
Look up dates from year 0 to 5000 and find their place in both counts:
• Tonalpowalli: the 260-day cycle of thirteen numerals and twenty signs.
• Xiuhpowalli: the 365-day year of eighteen veintenas and five Nemontemi days.
Each date shows its signs, numerals, regents and companion animals. The cards explain the meaning of each element within the tradition.

LEARN THE TEACHING
The texts describe the qualities, challenges and themes for reflection associated with each day. A short reading lets you start; “Read more” opens the full explanation.
The interpretations belong to the tradition that Tonalamatl follows. They invite you to learn about it and reflect on it. They make no claims about what will happen to anyone.

YOUR BIRTH AND YOUR PEOPLE
Find where a birth date falls in the count and learn its traditional meanings. You can add the time of birth if you know it. You can also save the dates of the people close to you and look them up again.

COMPARE OTHER COUNTS
The same date can correspond to different days depending on the count you choose. Besides the Ancestral Count, Tonalamatl lets you look up four other counts and see their results.

SHARE THE DAY
Create a card with the date in both counts and share it on WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook.
Available in Spanish and English.

TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION
