February 7 - March 6

The Hawk moon is the eighth moon in the Mayan year. It begins during Aquaruis and overlaps into Pisces. The Mayans called the Hawk ‘Coz’ and they saw it in the sky as a vast bird that stretched from Capricorn, where it’s tail began, to the beak, which reached all the way to North of Pegasus.
The hawk is featured in many legends and myths throughout the world and in all cultures. In Greek mythology the Hawk was the messenger and ruler of the planet Mercury. The hawk is the fastest creature on this planet and records of 240 kms have been recorded.
Hawk feathers are very useful for dreams and it can be helpful to place hawk feathers under your pillow to attract messages.
People born under the Hawk moon share the attributes of this well respected bird. They will be sharp minded, quick-witted and inituitive. You should always trust their impeccable judgement. Always creative and full of new ideas, Hawk people are invaluable contributors to mankind’s evolution. Don’t forget that they are predators too and have sharp beaks and talons. They are very courageous and are more than capable of defending themselves. Their tongues can be as quick as their minds, so look out. People born under this moon can have a tendency to be impatient and get frustrated my the lack of intelligence in others. If they don’t like your company they simply fly away. Hawk people have vivid imaginations but need to come down to earth now and then to ground their good ideas.

People born under this moon also share the characteristics of the number eight which is associated with harmony and integrity. Whether you were born under this moon or not, when we pass through it, it is good for everyone to remember the message of the hawk and of the number eight. Strive for more harmony in your life and try to see your life from the vantage point of a hawk in flight.
The hawk always sees things from a higher perspective.

SACRED CRYSTAL

AMETHYST

The information about the constellations and crystals in this section come from an out -of -print book by Hugh Harleston jnr. `Zodiac de Maya`. This book was the only one ever printed that named the constellations and they were based on his archelogical findings. The interpretation of the meanings of the animals comes from T.O`Sinend, a teacher of animal Totemnism and here on this website is the only place anywhere that this information is available.
