Cimi and Imix Mayan compatibility

What works

Cimi (Death) 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: Cimi brings the ability to close a cycle without drama and to sit with someone in the hard part, and Imix brings care that never runs out and a long memory of where everything started. Their elements feed each other: one lights the fire, the other keeps it going.

It is no accident that it fits: what Cimi needs is not to be asked for cheerfulness in the middle of a grief, and what Imix needs is to be told that what they did was already enough. Their colour families are neighbours: they understand each other, even though each comes in through a different door.

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. 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. Cimi: lets go too early, including of things that still worked. Imix: protects so hard that nothing around them gets to grow up.

Tendency toward melancholy, attachment to the past, difficulty enjoying the present, excessive seriousness. Overprotectiveness, difficulty letting go, emotional possessiveness, tendency to absorb others' pain.

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

As a couple

As a couple they score 75 out of 100. Cimi loves the way they do everything else, and so does Imix — which is the whole point.

When the bond is looked after, Cimi stops silently waiting not to be asked for cheerfulness in the middle of a grief 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. Cimi and Imix deliver when each of them owns their own half and nobody corrects the other’s work halfway through.

Healing power, ancestral connection, spiritual guidance ability, acceptance of change, deep wisdom. Deep intuition, nurturing capacity, natural protection, earth connection, primordial creativity, instinctive generosity.

The natural split is clear: Cimi takes care of ending something that has nothing left to give, and Imix of starting something and feeding it.

How they talk

Talking, they score 73 out of 100, and that number says more about the silences than about the words. Cimi and Imix do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Cimi 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 Cimi day and a Imix day back on the calendar, and you can feel it. 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. 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, Cimi (Death) days are good for ending something that has nothing left to give, 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:

Cimi: look your habit in the eye — lets go too early, including of things that still worked. — and say out loud that you need not to be asked for cheerfulness in the middle of a grief. Imix: ask to be told that what they did was already enough before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Cimi and Imix get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
