The Monkey moon is the seventh moon of the year

January 10 - February 6

The seventh moon of the Mayan year is the Monkey moon. The Maya called the monkey ‘Batz’
and they saw it in the sky as a enormous constellation that dwarfed nearby Aquarius,
Capricorn and Sagittarius.

People born under this moon will have the characteristics of the totem Monkey
as well as the number seven.

Seven is a ‘resonant’ number and is always associated with channelling energy. It is the moon of psychic experiences and growth through intelligence.
Monkeys are speculated as being our ancestors. We supposed have evolved from Monkey. How did we evolve from apes? Because we adapted to our environment and became more clever.
In this moon, you too can evolve with your mind. Be open to spirit and let it speak through you.
Let the universe inspire you..

The legend of Monkey is Universal. In China, Buddha allocated one year in every 12 to the monkey in honour of this amazing animal. People born in the
Year of the Monkey are considered to be clever, resourceful and communicative.

The Hindu’s have a Monkey god called Hanuman. He is wise and regarded highly as a great healer. He is a great protector of women and children.

In the Nazca desert in Peru , there is a giant figure of a monkey, 260 ft. long. His spiral tail representing, some believe, the swirling galaxy.

The Mayans certainly honoured the Monkey well, for not only has he a moon named after him but a day in the Tzolkin as well. So it is possible to be born a
Blue monkey in the monkey moon. The only other animals that have both are Serpent and Dog.

People born under monkey influence are naturally inquisitive and they usually posses a busy mind. If you have ever watched monkeys in a zoo, you will see
how they incessantly chatter and they are always getting into mischief. Whether you are born under the Monkey moon or not you can use this time to
monkey around yourself and have a bit of fun.

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.
