Mesh the two ancient Mayan calendars with the Julian calendar and venture an understanding of your mystic horoscope on a level you have never suspected. Unto you can come the knowledge that on this date, warnings abound of the evils that lurk in the dark. Yet it may be a fine day for making war, love or money. Only the MAYAN calendar can bring you these arcane truths! The ancient Mayans used a complicated system of two calendars running parallel with each other. One, like ours, was a solar calendar, based on the 365-day year. The other was a 260-day astrological calendar. Together, they formed a 52-year cycle of named and num- bered days and months, and were the basis of festivals, predictions, and religious practices. (Imagine the two calendars as big gear wheels with intermeshing cogs, one with 365 cogs, the other with 260. It takes 52 years for a particular cog in one wheel to mesh again with a particular cog in the other, thus repeating the days in their original order.) Converting a modern calendar date to its Mayan equivalent requires complex calculations. This program performs the task quickly and even prints your Mayan horoscope! Not superstitious? Astronomers and anthropologists share great interest in the one solar calendar of 365 days and the second 260-day astrological calendar. Harmonic convergences lurk where they mesh!
