Chicchan and Ik Mayan compatibility

What works

Chicchan (Serpent) and Ik (Wind) come out at 72% 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 Ik brings words that put things in order and air whenever the room gets stuffy. 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 Ik needs is someone to land the ideas before the wind takes them. 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 Ik are eloquent communicators, drawn to teaching, writing, and spiritual guidance. Their mind is agile as the wind and they can transmit ideas with inspiring clarity. They are natural messengers between the material and spiritual worlds.

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. Ik: talks a great deal and commits to very little.

Jealousy, possessiveness, tendency toward manipulation, difficulty controlling intense emotions. Inconstancy, difficulty committing, tendency to scatter, emotional coldness under stress.

At 72% overall, the weakest point of this pair is the affection (70 out of 100): that is where Chicchan and Ik will have to say more out loud to end up in the same place.

As a couple

As a couple they score 70 out of 100. Chicchan loves the way they do everything else, and so does Ik — 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 Ik finally dares to ask someone to land the ideas before the wind takes them.

Working on something together

As a team they score 72 out of 100. Chicchan and Ik 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. Eloquence, inspiration, mental versatility, teaching ability, spiritual connection, power of words.

The natural split is clear: Chicchan takes care of moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Ik of saying out loud what has been sitting unsaid.

How they talk

Talking, they score 75 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Chicchan and Ik do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Chicchan needs to say it now and Ik 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 Ik 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 Ik days, express your ideas and communicate what's within. Ideal for writing, teaching, public speaking, or conscious breathing meditation. Let the wind carry your intentions.

For this pair, Chicchan (Serpent) days are good for moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Ik (Wind) days for saying out loud what has been sitting unsaid.

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. Ik: ask someone to land the ideas before the wind takes them before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Chicchan and Ik get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
