Chicchan is one of the 20 day signs on the Mayan Calendar, the Tzolkin. The calendar has 260 days in each year, divided into 13 months. The twenty day signs, or glyphs, move consecutively through the month and into the next. Chicchan represents the kundalini life force, the serpent, Energy itself that permeates our reality. It is wise to learn, understand, honor, and direct Energy. Chaos ensues if left to its own devices.
