The significance of this day
6 Cuetzpallin was the time of ritual to Macuilxochitl and Mictlantecuhtli. This day sign is in no way good. For the one born at this time, man or woman, nothing resulted as his deserts. He labored only in vain; his fate, deserts, and gifts were full of misery. And he was only given to talk, completely enveloped in talk. He was hot-tempered. He reprimanded people; he only knew how to agitate them and cause them to riot. This is why they considered that not one of them was a decent person. For such was the time of their birth. To make this day sign good, the reader waited to bathe the child on the day sign 7 Coatl. Once he was bathed on 7 Coatl his life would not be hopeless and something would become his lot with his penance. (Florentine Codex, Dibble and Anderson, bks 4-5, page 49)
