Chicchan and Imix Mayan compatibility

What works

Chicchan (Serpent) and Imix (Crocodile) come out at 73% 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 Imix brings care that never runs out and a long memory of where everything started. 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 Imix needs is to be told that what they did was already enough. They share a colour family and a direction, so they face the same way without ever agreeing to.

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. 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. Chicchan: when something moves inside, everything outside gets knocked over. Imix: protects so hard that nothing around them gets to grow up.

Jealousy, possessiveness, tendency toward manipulation, difficulty controlling intense emotions. Overprotectiveness, difficulty letting go, emotional possessiveness, tendency to absorb others' pain.

At 73% overall, the weakest point of this pair is trust (72 out of 100): that is where Chicchan and Imix will have to say more out loud to end up in the same place.

As a couple

As a couple they score 73 out of 100. Chicchan loves the way they do everything else, and so does Imix — 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 Imix finally dares to ask to be told that what they did was already enough.

Working on something together

As a team they score 74 out of 100. Chicchan and Imix 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 intuition, nurturing capacity, natural protection, earth connection, primordial creativity, instinctive generosity.

The natural split is clear: Chicchan takes care of moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Imix of starting something and feeding it.

How they talk

Talking, they score 74 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Chicchan and Imix do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Chicchan 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 Chicchan day and a Imix 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 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, Chicchan (Serpent) days are good for moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, 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:

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