Matlactli Uan Yei is the number thirteen. Matlactli Uan Yei is one of the most important factors in ancestral mathematics; as a number it allows us to understand the cycles of the stars that traverse the celestial dome. Matlactli Uan Yei also allows us understand the gestation of humans that inhabit the earth. In the case of humans it takes the period of thirteen times twenty plus one more trecena to complete the gestation period from the moment that the precious seed is deposited until the instant that a newborn inhales the Ihiyotl, the breath of life. Thirteen is blossoming. Those that possess the essence of Matlactli Uan Yei blossom and then give sustenance: with sustenance life continues leaving behind the seeds for future generation.
Resume: Matlactli Uan Yei, the number thirteen is implicit in persons that achieve their objectives with tenacity and determination. Citlalin I cue is the female essence of stars that accompanies el numero trece, and converts itself in our minds into a profound vision to accomplish objectives with maturity and the feet firmly planted on mother earth. Cochotl, the green macaw is happiness in life, physical beauty, and easiness of expression. Xochiquetzalli is beauty and spiritual preciousness with a tendency to manifest emotions through creativity.
Xochitl is the flower. Flowers are the most beautiful things we encounter in life: Nature is the most beautiful when she is covered in flowers, with colors and perfumes that enlighten our souls. With flowers the heart is joyful. When trees are flowered, we know that fruit will follow. In life everything should flower. We humans flower when we work at accomplishing deeds that are good for our families and our community. When we finish a task it is as though we created a flower. We encountered no negative aspects related to Xochitl for it represents all that we as humans contain within us. We all need to flower in our thoughts and through our actions. The persons born under this glyph are very creative and productive. That is why we affirm that Xochitl represents everything that comes to a positive ending. Xochitl is present in the arts, in music, in dance, in painting and generally in everything related to the arts, thus the phrase, in xochitl in cuicatl, la flor y canto, the flower and the song. Those persons that have a direct relationship with Xochitl should be of pure spirit, with a clear voice, and a strong will.
