Alchemist horoscope
The alchemical or alchemist horoscope combines numerology with metals. It is made up of 10 signs: Silver, Iron, Mercury, Zinc, Tin, Lead, Platinum, Nickel, Gold and Copper. Each one is named after a different element. There are two fairly simple ways to know which horoscope you belong to:
First we must reduce our date of birth to a single digit and the resulting number will tell you what metal you are in the alchemical horoscope.
On the other hand, if we wish to guess our metallic influence for the year, in the same way, we must leave day and month, but change the year of your birth with the year we are in at the moment.

Mayan horoscope
The Mayan horoscope is one of the most special of all astrological prediction systems and predicting the future was key in its history. The Mayans relied on a lunar calendar based on 13 moons, which means that in this horoscope there are 13 signs and not 12, as in the Greek horoscope that we know.
The Mayan horoscope is made up of 13 signs. The name of each one is represented by a traditional animal from its geography. For current Western culture it is complex to understand the reason for the 13 signs. To understand the system that this pre-Columbian culture used, we must associate it with its calendar.
