Chicchan and Lamat Mayan compatibility

What works

Chicchan (Serpent) and Lamat (Star) 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 Lamat brings everyday beauty and the feeling that life is worth the trouble. 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 Lamat needs is forgiveness for how hard they are on themselves in the mirror. 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 Lamat radiate light and are drawn to beauty in all its forms. They have a natural gift for artistic expression and an innate desire for aesthetic perfection. Their presence illuminates any space and they attract abundance like stars attract the gaze.

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. Lamat: mistakes something looking good for something being right.

Jealousy, possessiveness, tendency toward manipulation, difficulty controlling intense emotions. Perfectionism, vanity, difficulty accepting imperfection, tendency toward material excess.

At 72% overall, the weakest point of this pair is the affection (71 out of 100): that is where Chicchan and Lamat will have to say more out loud to end up in the same place.

As a couple

As a couple they score 71 out of 100. Chicchan loves the way they do everything else, and so does Lamat — 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 Lamat finally dares to ask forgiveness for how hard they are on themselves in the mirror.

Working on something together

As a team they score 73 out of 100. Chicchan and Lamat 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. Artistic expression, aesthetic sense, natural abundance, luminous charisma, elegance, creativity.

The natural split is clear: Chicchan takes care of moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Lamat of making what you already own beautiful.

How they talk

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

A simple deal helps: when Chicchan needs to say it now and Lamat 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 Lamat 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 Lamat days, surround yourself with beauty and create art. Perfect for visiting museums, decorating your space, dressing with intention, or starting artistic projects.

For this pair, Chicchan (Serpent) days are good for moving your body and getting the stuck thing out, and Lamat (Star) days for making what you already own beautiful.

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. Lamat: ask forgiveness for how hard they are on themselves in the mirror before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Chicchan and Lamat get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
