Chicchan and Cimi Mayan compatibility

What works

Chicchan (Serpent) and Cimi (Death) come out at 67% 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 Cimi brings the ability to close a cycle without drama and to sit with someone in the hard part. 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 Chicchan needs is nobody asking them to turn the intensity down as if it were a flaw, and what Cimi needs is not to be asked for cheerfulness in the middle of a grief. 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 Cimi are powerful healers and guides between worlds. They have a deep connection to ancestors and the ability to facilitate important transitions in others' lives. They don't fear change because they understand that every ending is a new beginning.

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. Cimi: lets go too early, including of things that still worked.

Jealousy, possessiveness, tendency toward manipulation, difficulty controlling intense emotions. Tendency toward melancholy, attachment to the past, difficulty enjoying the present, excessive seriousness.

At 67% overall, the weakest point of this pair is the conversation (67 out of 100): that is where Chicchan and Cimi will have to say more out loud to end up in the same place.

As a couple

As a couple they score 68 out of 100. Chicchan loves the way they do everything else, and so does Cimi — 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 Cimi finally dares to ask not to be asked for cheerfulness in the middle of a grief.

Working on something together

As a team they score 69 out of 100. Chicchan and Cimi 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. Healing power, ancestral connection, spiritual guidance ability, acceptance of change, deep wisdom.

The natural split is clear: Chicchan takes care of moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Cimi of ending something that has nothing left to give.

How they talk

Talking, they score 67 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Chicchan and Cimi do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Chicchan needs to say it now and Cimi 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 Cimi 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 Cimi days, honor your ancestors and release what no longer serves you. A powerful time for closure rituals, meditation on impermanence, and gratitude ceremonies.

For this pair, Chicchan (Serpent) days are good for moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Cimi (Death) days for ending something that has nothing left to give.

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. Cimi: ask not to be asked for cheerfulness in the middle of a grief before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Chicchan and Cimi get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
