This is the space where I will seek to illustrate Ancestral Astronomy practices from a practical standpoint, in accordance with the findings of my research on the Maya and Aztec calendars, the Haab and the Tzolkin.

For the curious, the initiated, and astronomy enthusiasts alike, this approach to Ancestral Astronomy is entirely different from the methods commonly known to everyone. Here, we will discuss an astronomy strictly confined to the Earth’s Space-Time Fabric—the space between the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon.

These are the results of a research project on the calendars conducted from an exclusively mathematical perspective, where the conclusions also take the same mathematical format. All results of this study are supported by and aligned with mathematical justification.

This system of study, devoid of abstract or religious concepts regarding the calendars, has led this research to unprecedented—or perhaps forgotten—knowledge and methods on how Earth's Space-Time was observed in ancient astronomy.

A confirmação de que os Calendários construídos por aquelas culturas, representam alinhamentos perfeitos de diversos Ciclos astronómicos de Tempo e de Espaço da Terra. Foi a principal conquista para poder encontrar os métodos e práticas da Astronomia Ancestral. 

A dynamic generated by four elements—the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun in Space—which describes in detail the pattern in which the Earth's journey through Space-Time unfolds.

This four-way dynamic restores astrology's direct connection to astronomy, as well as the origin of the archetypes of the four elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.

The concepts on which the Ancestral Astronomy resulting from this study, is based can be much more easily understood and confirmed by those with knowledge of astrology. It is highly fascinating how both fields of knowledge combine so perfectly. I have no doubt that this form of astronomy lies at the origin of the astrology we know today.

Astrology is not the only field where the insights of Ancestral Astronomy find validation and meaning—common foundations and references can also be found across modern science, spirituality, and culture.

With defining consequences for natural life on Earth, the dynamic found within the ancestral space-time fabric also serves as a lens for observing space from Earth; the outer space-time observed from Earth finds proportional and similar rhythmic patterns within planetary dynamics, mirroring its own space-time model.

The elements and dynamic described within Earth's space-time fabric and found in the calendars are the pillars of this astronomy.

Come along on this astronomical journey and I hope you have fun!
