The Peacock moon is the fifth moon of the year

November 15 -December 12

The Peacock moon is the 5th moon of the year. The Maya called it `cutz`. The number five is associated with the key words empowerment, command and radiant. These charactristics affect number five days as well as the fifth moon. This is a good moon therefore to find your own power. The Maya saw in the sky a peacock whose tail began at Antares which is the head of the serpent, and whose head reached almost to Bootes. It`s eye is the star Kornephorus.

People born under this moon will be influenced by the totem Peacock. This creature has always been admired for it`s beauty. Most notably it`s splendid tail. The `eyes` of the tail symbolise psychic ability as peacock is said to use his `eyes` to see all. There is a legend about peacock and it`s curious call. It is said that it is a vain creature, very proud of it`s beauty, but the peacock has ugly feet and whenever it bends down and catches sight of them he lets out a scream. On a more serious note the peacock`s unusual call is said to represent the cry of the soul. Always seeking joy yet experincing anguish.

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.
