1 Akbar, 1st day in the 13-day Akbar (Akbar) Week
1 Akbar (Ch'orti'): Night (Glyph of razors or jaguar fangs)
1 Aq'ab'al (Quiche) / 1 Ak'bal (Yucatec Maya): Darkness; night
1 Calli (Aztec): House
Direction: West
Note: Like yesterday, today's day sign honors the four great ancestors. Balam Akbar or dark jaguar was one of the four leaders that founded the Mayan-Mesoamerican civilizations. The nation that he founded was also called the Greathouses, possibly due to the large or long houses that they lived in. This is likely where the Aztec name came from. The Greathouses lived near the ocean on El Salvador's eastern coast and became a great sailing people. Most of the great Mesoamerican peoples, other than the Mayans, come from the Balam Akbar lineage. In the Mayan Mars long-count calendar, the date 1 Akbar occurred in about 2500 BC.
Night Sky: Venus is just now reappearing as a morning star where it
will be for nearly one tzolkin (260-day cycle). Mars continues
retrograde in Leo.
Semi-diurnal Tide range (Difference in High/Low Tides): 0.92 meters average and at its lowest today and tomorrow. Very bad fishing and crabbing.
