The 260-Day Cycle

General explanation

The 260-day cycle is the foundational structure of the Tzolkin Calendar, created by the interaction of 20 signs and 13 numbers. It is shorter than a solar year but long enough to observe meaningful transitions.

Common misunderstandings

Why 260 days were chosen is debated, but the significance lies not in the number itself, but in the cyclical structure it creates.

MLS perspective

MLS uses the 260-day cycle as a medium-term cycle suitable for goal setting, review, and strategic reflection.
