YourKodex: Find Your Kin in the Tzolkin

The day you were born has a name.

The Maya kept a count of 260 days called the Tzolkin, and each day in it has its own name. The name of your birthday is your Kin. It never changes, and roughly one person in 260 shares it with you.

Every Kin joins one of 20 Seals with one of 13 Tones. Your Seal shows what you are like, and your Tone shows how you go about things. YourKodex reads both for you.

About YourKodex

The Tzolkin of the Maya,
read for you in plain words.

The Tzolkin is a 260-day sacred calendar the Maya kept for more than a thousand years. Every day in it has a name, and the day you were born is your Kin.

YourKodex reads that Kin for you: your Seal, your Tone and the Wavespell you belong to. The direct kind of reading, with no fluff and no vague horoscope language.

Personal, private, and ready in minutes. Your Kin never changes, so your reading is yours to keep.

What Your Kin Tells You

One birthday. Four readings.

Personal. Who you are when nobody is asking you to be anything. Your Seal, your Tone, and the talents that run through your whole Wavespell.

Career. How you work, whether you have a job, run a business, or make content. What you are best at and what drains you.

Love. How you love, what you need from a partner, and the pattern to watch.

Wavespell. The 13-day arc your Kin was born into, from Purpose to Transcendence. Your life's mission sits here.

All four come from the same place: the Kin you were born on. Answer the questions at the top of this page and yours shows up in seconds.

Every Day Has a Kin Too

Today's Kin is the same for everyone. What it does to you is yours.

The Tzolkin never stops counting. Each day carries its own Kin, and that Kin belongs to everyone on Earth at once. It sets the weather of the day: the mood in the room, what moves easily, what resists.

Then that Kin meets yours, and the two together make the Kin the day carries for you alone. YourKodex shows you both. The Tzolkin page gives you today's Kin for free, and the Daily reads the two layers together every morning.

The System

What is the Tzolkin?

The Tzolkin is a sacred calendar of 260 days, first kept by the ancient Maya more than a thousand years ago. Where our calendar follows the sun, the Tzolkin follows the quality of each day.

It is built from two cycles turning together. There are 20 Seals, like Dragon, Wind, and Sun, and a Seal is what a day is made of. There are 13 Tones, from Magnetic to Cosmic, and a Tone is how that Seal moves. Twenty Seals times thirteen Tones gives 260 Kins, and no two are alike.

Every Kin also sits inside a Wavespell, a run of 13 days with a beginning, a challenge, and an ending. Your birth Kin has a place in one of them, and that place says a great deal about what your life keeps asking of you.

Freedom from mystic fluff

No vague affirmations, no horoscope hedging, no words standing in for an answer. Every reading names the Kin it comes from and says plainly what it means.

Freedom from empty promises

Nobody here will promise you an overnight transformation. Your Kin is the pattern that has been yours since birth, and knowing it helps your effort go somewhere.

Freedom to run your own read

You live the life. YourKodex is the map. The decisions, and the credit, are yours.
