What Is a Mayan Seal and Galactic Number?
A Mayan Seal is one of the 20 day signs used in the Tzolk’in cycle. A Galactic Number is one of the 13 tones that moves through that same cycle. Each day receives one seal and one number.
This is why two people with the same Sacred Seal can still feel different. The seal gives the symbolic pattern, while the number changes how that pattern behaves.
How the Tzolk’in Creates Your Signature
The Tzolk’in combines 20 day signs with 13 numbers, creating a cycle of 260 unique combinations. Your birth date maps to one of those combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find my Mayan sign by birth date?
To find your Mayan sign by birth date, convert your Gregorian birth date into the 260-day Tzolk’in calendar. This gives you one of the 20 Sacred Seals and one of the 13 Galactic Numbers. Together, they form your basic Mayan signature.
What’s my Mayan sign?
Your Mayan sign usually refers to your Sacred Seal in the Tzolk’in calendar. To find it, use your birth date in a Mayan calendar converter and read the seal and Galactic Number returned for that date.
How do I find my Mayan Seal?
You find your Mayan Seal by converting your birth date into the Tzolk’in calendar. The converter identifies which of the 20 Sacred Seals was active on your birth date.
What is a Mayan Galactic Signature?
A Mayan Galactic Signature is the combination of your Sacred Seal and your Galactic Number. The Sacred Seal describes the main archetype, while the Galactic Number shows the tone, rhythm, or mode of expression.
Is a Mayan Seal the same as a zodiac sign?
No. A Western zodiac sign is usually based on a 12-part solar zodiac, while a Mayan Seal belongs to the 260-day Tzolk’in cycle. Both can be used for symbolic self-reflection, but they come from different traditions and use different calendar systems.
Why is the Galactic Number important?
The Galactic Number is important because it changes how the Sacred Seal expresses itself. The same seal can feel different depending on whether its tone is initiating, stabilizing, empowering, balancing, releasing, or transcending.
Do I need my birth time to find my Mayan Seal?
In most modern Mayan sign calculators, your birth date is enough to find your Mayan Seal and Galactic Number. Birth time is not usually required in the same way it is for a Western Ascendant. If you were born very close to a day boundary, it can be useful to compare the neighbouring signature.
What is the difference between a Sacred Seal and a Galactic Number?
The Sacred Seal is the symbolic archetype of the day, such as Imix, Ik, Akbal, Lamat, Ix, or Ahau. The Galactic Number is the tone from 1 to 13 that modifies that archetype. The seal shows the pattern; the number shows how that pattern moves.
