http://lucidcrossroads.co.uk/mayan.
The Maya lived in the in Central America that now
consists of Yucatan, Guatemala, Belize and southern
Mexico. They did not last long after the Spanish got to
them in the sixteenth century. The Mayans lasting
legacy to the world is their calendars, all based firmly in
rock hard math's, that looked to the stars for inspiration.
Left is the most famous calendar the Tzolkin, a repeating spiral
(some call it the double helix DNA others a rattle snake pattern) of
special days (dark blue squares) known as Portal days and (white
squares) known as Core days that cycle every 260 days. The
periods of time that the calendars take in are massive in scale but
the Dreamspell comes to an end in 2012! This is not suppose to be
the end of the world but will actually herald a new age free from
time as we know it. *Note* the way the Dreamspell is counted is a
matter of debate, look on the web to get to grips with the issues.

I can't tell you what your full reading might be but I can
paste in extracts from Aluna Joy Yaxk'in book "MAYAN
ASTROLOGY A User Friendly Guide to Mayan
Astrology" (below). I've personally heard reading from
this book and it was very accurate.
This site is an amazing resource look up your glyph
from the long list and it has a page on each with pretty
indepth, although slight poetic reading .

GLYPHS of the RED CASTLE (EAST)
Understanding the Suns of the East The Mayan
word for east is "Likin". East is represented by the
color red. In Mayan it is called "Chau" The suns
of the east are represented by the Suns IMIX,
CHICCHAN, MULUC, BEN and CABAN. East
is where the sun rises.
It is the direction of "coming to power" or the "birth",
the renewal of life. These Eastern days can be very
powerful. It is a good time to start projects or at least
begin to create them in your dream time. In the suns of
the east, issues such as struggling with personal problems
or concerns with the establishment of self arise. Let us
look at these five suns in detail.
