Cauac and Chicchan Mayan compatibility

What works

Cauac (Storm) and Chicchan (Serpent) come out at 66% Mayan compatibility. Neither of the oracle’s fixed relationships links them, so nothing is handed to them: whatever they build, they build on purpose.

The trade is the first thing you notice: Cauac brings energy to shake loose whatever went stagnant, and rain after the lightning, and Chicchan brings life force, desire and a whole-body kind of honesty. Their elements pull in different directions, and that is where most of the daily friction comes from.

It is no accident that it fits: what Cauac needs is room to discharge without anyone taking it personally, and what Chicchan needs is nobody asking them to turn the intensity down as if it were a flaw. They sit in opposite colour families, which puts them face to face more often than either would like.

Those born under Cauac are dynamic agents of change with the ability to purify and renew everything they touch. Like the storm that cleanses the air and nourishes the earth, they bring necessary though sometimes turbulent transformation. Their power lies in their ability to destroy in order to rebuild. Those born under Chicchan possess intense charisma and natural healing abilities. Their vital energy is powerful and magnetic, capable of mesmerizing and healing others. Like the serpent that sheds its skin, they have an innate capacity for radical transformation.

Where they get stuck

Neither of them fails out of malice; they fail out of habit. Cauac: shakes from end to end and drags along whoever is standing nearby. Chicchan: when something moves inside, everything outside gets knocked over.

Destructiveness, difficulty with calm, tendency toward chaos, emotional unpredictability. Jealousy, possessiveness, tendency toward manipulation, difficulty controlling intense emotions.

At 66% overall, the weakest point of this pair is trust (65 out of 100): that is where Cauac and Chicchan will have to say more out loud to end up in the same place.

As a couple

As a couple they score 66 out of 100. Cauac loves the way they do everything else, and so does Chicchan — which is the whole point.

When the bond is looked after, Cauac stops silently waiting room to discharge without anyone taking it personally and Chicchan finally dares to ask nobody asking them to turn the intensity down as if it were a flaw.

Working on something together

As a team they score 67 out of 100. Cauac and Chicchan deliver when each of them owns their own half and nobody corrects the other’s work halfway through.

Transformative power, purification ability, dynamic energy, renewal, change catalyst, natural force. Intense charisma, healing power, transformation capacity, passion, sensual magnetism, body wisdom.

The natural split is clear: Cauac takes care of cleaning out something that went rotten at the root, and Chicchan of moving your body and getting the stuck thing out.

How they talk

Talking, they score 69 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Cauac and Chicchan do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Cauac needs to say it now and Chicchan needs to think it over, say half of it today and the other half tomorrow.

Each other’s days

Every thirteen days the Tzolk’in puts an Cauac day and a Chicchan day back on the calendar, and you can feel it. On Cauac days, accept change as purification. Ideal for cleansing rituals, emotional release, herbal baths, and personal renewal ceremonies. On Chicchan days, work with your vital energy. Ideal for kundalini practices, yoga, dance, or any activity that activates your body and releases stagnant energy.

For this pair, Cauac (Storm) days are good for cleaning out something that went rotten at the root, and Chicchan (Serpent) days for moving your body and getting the stuck thing out.

What to actually do

It works well as long as both of them keep putting something in. Translated into something you can do this week:

Cauac: look your habit in the eye — shakes from end to end and drags along whoever is standing nearby. — and say out loud that you need room to discharge without anyone taking it personally. Chicchan: ask nobody asking them to turn the intensity down as if it were a flaw before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Cauac and Chicchan get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
