Chicchan and Chuen Mayan compatibility

What works

Chicchan (Serpent) and Chuen (Monkey) 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: Chicchan brings life force, desire and a whole-body kind of honesty, and Chuen brings play, wit and the knack for defusing any tension in the room. Their elements feed each other: one lights the fire, the other keeps it going.

It is no accident that it fits: what Chicchan needs is nobody asking them to turn the intensity down as if it were a flaw, and what Chuen needs is to be taken seriously the one time they are being serious. They sit in opposite colour families, which puts them face to face more often than either would like.

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. Those born under Chuen are natural artists, entertainers, and masters of creative expression. They have a unique ability to find joy and playfulness in any situation. Their creativity is divine and they can weave realities with their imagination.

Where they get stuck

Neither of them fails out of malice; they fail out of habit. Chicchan: when something moves inside, everything outside gets knocked over. Chuen: cracks a joke exactly when the subject needed one more minute.

Jealousy, possessiveness, tendency toward manipulation, difficulty controlling intense emotions. Lack of seriousness, difficulty committing, tendency to avoid responsibilities, superficiality.

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

As a couple

As a couple they score 69 out of 100. Chicchan loves the way they do everything else, and so does Chuen — which is the whole point.

When the bond is looked after, Chicchan stops silently waiting nobody asking them to turn the intensity down as if it were a flaw and Chuen finally dares to ask to be taken seriously the one time they are being serious.

Working on something together

As a team they score 70 out of 100. Chicchan and Chuen deliver when each of them owns their own half and nobody corrects the other’s work halfway through.

Intense charisma, healing power, transformation capacity, passion, sensual magnetism, body wisdom. Unlimited creativity, sense of humor, artistic ability, ingenuity, contagious joy, versatility.

The natural split is clear: Chicchan takes care of moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Chuen of playing with an idea without asking it to be useful.

How they talk

Talking, they score 73 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Chicchan and Chuen do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Chicchan needs to say it now and Chuen 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 Chicchan day and a Chuen day back on the calendar, and you can feel it. 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. On Chuen days, play and create without restrictions. Perfect for art, music, dance, theater, or any form of spontaneous creative expression.

For this pair, Chicchan (Serpent) days are good for moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Chuen (Monkey) days for playing with an idea without asking it to be useful.

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:

Chicchan: look your habit in the eye — when something moves inside, everything outside gets knocked over. — and say out loud that you need nobody asking them to turn the intensity down as if it were a flaw. Chuen: ask to be taken seriously the one time they are being serious before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Chicchan and Chuen get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
