Eb and Imix Mayan compatibility

What works

Eb (Grass) and Imix (Crocodile) come out at 74% 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: Eb brings common sense, service and a road where there used to be undergrowth, 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 Eb needs is somebody to ask how they are doing, for once, 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 Eb are compassionate humanitarians with a deep understanding of human suffering and joy. They walk the path of life with wisdom and empathy, helping others find their own way. They are the guardians of the human journey. 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. Eb: puts up with too much and reports it only after it breaks. Imix: protects so hard that nothing around them gets to grow up.

Carrying others' suffering, tendency toward martyrdom, difficulty asking for help, emotional exhaustion. Overprotectiveness, difficulty letting go, emotional possessiveness, tendency to absorb others' pain.

At 74% overall, the weakest point of this pair is shared plans (73 out of 100): that is where Eb 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. Eb loves the way they do everything else, and so does Imix — which is the whole point.

When the bond is looked after, Eb stops silently waiting somebody to ask how they are doing, for once 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 73 out of 100. Eb and Imix deliver when each of them owns their own half and nobody corrects the other’s work halfway through.

Deep compassion, humanitarian understanding, vitality, empathy, path wisdom, service. Deep intuition, nurturing capacity, natural protection, earth connection, primordial creativity, instinctive generosity.

The natural split is clear: Eb takes care of taking one more step on the long road, 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. Eb and Imix do not argue about the subject: they argue about the pace.

A simple deal helps: when Eb 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 Eb day and a Imix day back on the calendar, and you can feel it. On Eb days, walk with awareness. Ideal for meditative walks, community service acts, reflection on your life path, and connecting with nature. 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, Eb (Grass) days are good for taking one more step on the long road, and Imix (Crocodile) days for starting something and feeding it.

What to actually do

There is plenty of foundation here; what breaks can be fixed by talking. Translated into something you can do this week:

Eb: look your habit in the eye — puts up with too much and reports it only after it breaks. — and say out loud that you need somebody to ask how they are doing, for once. Imix: ask to be told that what they did was already enough before it piles up, not afterwards. Both of you: Eb and Imix get better the day you stop handing out blame and start handing out tasks.
