Aztec Calendar Astrological Signs Zodiac Pendant Medallion
AztecĀ (Mexica) godĀ Huitzilopochtli
The Mexica/Aztec were said to be guided by their godĀ Huitzilopochtli, meaning "Left-handedĀ Hummingbird" or "Hummingbird from the South." At an island inĀ Lake Texcoco, they saw anĀ eagleĀ holding a rattlesnake in its talons, perched on aĀ nopalcactus. This vision fulfilled a prophecy telling them that they should found their new home on that spot. The Aztecs built their city ofĀ TenochtitlanĀ on that site, building a greatĀ artificial island, which today is in the center ofĀ Mexico City. This legendary vision is pictured on theĀ Coat of Arms of Mexico.
