AZTEC ASTROLOGY: 1300-1521 AD
The Aztecs worshipped many gods. Perhaps chief
among them were the sun god Uitzilopochtli (who
murders his sister the moon goddess), the moon
goddess Coyolxauhqui, the rain god Tlaloc, and the
Venus god Quetzalcoatl (who creates the calendar and
system of writing). The Aztecs conducted animal and
human sacrifice--they believed that the sun would
weaken if it were not nourished with human blood.
Inheriting much of the Mayan's culture, the Aztecs
devise a 365 day calendar and their own version of
the 12 signs of the zodiac.
