Aztec astrology
22 Dec 1972
The Day is 3 Cozcaquauhtli (Vulture)
The sign of Cozcaquauhtli is the vulture who symbolises old age and riches.
The presiding deity is Itzpapalotl, the Black Obsidian Butterfly, who flutters round at night striking terror into the hearts of men. She signifies the terror of a nightmare and the ultimate evil associated with the night. She is a destructive but beautiful demon who represents the evil that comes out of darkness and the destruction of all that we hold to be good. [oooo, fun! of course, I've never really thought of myself as having much of a serious dark side. Am I really destructive but beautiful?]
The person born on this day can look forward to a long and prosperous life in which they will be quite lucky, but beware of a darker and more sinister side to their nature. The goddess of this day signifies an unpredictable fate or an occurrence of an unusual nature. Long life can be looked forward to in most cases but beware of accidents that could be tragic. [Well, I've got tragic accidents covered.]
The Week is 1 Ocelotl (Ocelot)
The presiding deity is Quetzalcoatl, the great sky god, the Plumed Serpent, who in his aspect as god of Wind symbolises instability.
The Aztecs believed that men born during this week would become immoral or be taken prisoner and their hearts removed on the sacrificial altar. Through necessity, they might also be forced to sell themselves into slavery. [hmmm. I don't like where this is going.]
This could well imply a shortage of money, incurring a large debt perhaps. [Nope. Not so much.]
Women however would be prone to adultery, which to the Aztecs was so serious that it was punishable by death. [Oooo! hey! Suddenly I'm glad to be a woman - this option sounds much better than having my heart cut out!]
