Cauac and Imix Mayan compatibility

What works

Cauac (Storm) and Imix (Crocodile) come out at 70% 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 Imix brings care that never runs out and a long memory of where everything started. They share an element, so they react in similar ways when things get hard.

It is no accident that it fits: what Cauac needs is room to discharge without anyone taking it personally, and what Imix needs is to be told that what they did was already enough. 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. People born under Imix are natural caretakers with deep intuition and a strong connection to the Earth. They possess a powerful protective instinct and the ability to nurture those around them. Their energy is that of the primordial mother who gives life and sustenance to all creation.

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. Imix: protects so hard that nothing around them gets to grow up.

Destructiveness, difficulty with calm, tendency toward chaos, emotional unpredictability. Overprotectiveness, difficulty letting go, emotional possessiveness, tendency to absorb others' pain.

At 70% overall, the weakest point of this pair is shared plans (69 out of 100): that is where Cauac and Imix will have to say more out loud to end up in the same place.

As a couple

As a couple they score 71 out of 100. Cauac loves the way they do everything else, and so does Imix — which is the whole point.

When the bond is looked after, Cauac stops silently waiting room to discharge without anyone taking it personally and Imix finally dares to ask to be told that what they did was already enough.

Working on something together

As a team they score 69 out of 100. Cauac and Imix 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. Deep intuition, nurturing capacity, natural protection, earth connection, primordial creativity, instinctive generosity.

The natural split is clear: Cauac takes care of cleaning out something that went rotten at the root, and Imix of starting something and feeding it.

How they talk

Talking, they score 71 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Cauac and Imix do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Cauac needs to say it now and Imix 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 Imix 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 Imix days, connect with your nurturing side. It's a good time to begin new projects, care for others, and reconnect with nature. Meditate near water to amplify your energy.

For this pair, Cauac (Storm) days are good for cleaning out something that went rotten at the root, and Imix (Crocodile) days for starting something and feeding it.

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. Imix: ask to be told that what they did was already enough before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Cauac and Imix get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
