Chicchan and Cib Mayan compatibility

What works

Chicchan (Serpent) and Cib (Owl) come out at 86% Mayan compatibility. These are occult day signs — their numbers add up to 21, the relationship that holds the power each of them cannot see in themselves.

The trade is the first thing you notice: Chicchan brings life force, desire and a whole-body kind of honesty, and Cib brings old counsel, calm and the exact question at the exact moment. They share an element, so they react in similar ways when things get hard.

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 Cib needs is to be believed when they say they have already lived this. Their colour families are neighbours: they understand each other, even though each comes in through a different door.

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 Cib carry deep ancestral wisdom and the ability to see in darkness like the owl. They have access to ancient knowledge through their spiritual lineage and the capacity for forgiveness as a path to karmic liberation.

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. Cib: advises so much that they never get around to telling their own story.

Jealousy, possessiveness, tendency toward manipulation, difficulty controlling intense emotions. Pessimism, tendency to carry others' karma, difficulty living in the present, excessive seriousness.

At 86% overall, the weakest point of this pair is the affection (86 out of 100): that is where Chicchan and Cib will have to say more out loud to end up in the same place.

As a couple

As a couple they score 86 out of 100. Chicchan loves the way they do everything else, and so does Cib — 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 Cib finally dares to ask to be believed when they say they have already lived this.

Working on something together

As a team they score 87 out of 100. Chicchan and Cib 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. Deep wisdom, night vision, capacity for forgiveness, ancestral knowledge, patience, discernment.

The natural split is clear: Chicchan takes care of moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Cib of asking someone who has already been through it.

How they talk

Talking, they score 86 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Chicchan and Cib do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Chicchan needs to say it now and Cib 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 Cib 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 Cib days, seek wisdom in silence. Ideal for deep meditation, study of ancient traditions, forgiveness practice, and connecting with elders' wisdom.

For this pair, Chicchan (Serpent) days are good for moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Cib (Owl) days for asking someone who has already been through it.

What to actually do

This is one of those bonds that runs almost without instructions. 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. Cib: ask to be believed when they say they have already lived this before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Chicchan and Cib get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
