Enter any date from the year 1 CE through 9999.
Dates before October 15, 1582 are read in the Julian calendar, which was used before the Gregorian calendar replaced it. Countries made the switch at different times (Britain and its colonies not until 1752), so for dates between 1582 and the mid-1700s, check which calendar the original record used.
The Cholq'ij is a 260-day cycle of 20 Nawales (day signs) and 13 Powers (numbers). This calculator follows the count kept today by Maya daykeepers in the highlands of Guatemala, with the names and spellings used in The Book of Destiny by Carlos Barrios. In this tradition the Cholq'ij day begins at sunrise, so a time before sunrise belongs to the previous day.
