This is a very
subtle and elegant glyph with esoteric meanings. I created an
interpretive tool using the Mayan Tzolkin and Aztec Tonalpohualli in
interpreting architecture of American Archaeology. I named it the
Tzolkin Lunar Solar Device and explain its usage in my book Sipapuni.
However one can overlay this device over a site and instantaneously see
if there are any obvious astronomical aspects in the design.
Wouldham
intrigued me and I overlaid my device over this glyph. The results are:
When one of the planetoids are pointed due north or south the
bifurcations of the six petaled lotus is directly in the rising and
setting of the winter solstice and lunar events (south) or summer
solstice (north). The equinoxes are also represented.
I have colour
coded the solstices and lunar events in red and the equinoxes in blue.
The six petaled lotus represents the reproduction charka or kundalini.
Hence the interaction of the sun and the moon within the bifurcations.
