We turn to the astronomy of Mesoamerica, with a particular focus on the Maya and Aztec. The central feature of their astronomy was a pair of interlocking calendars which regulated all aspects of life. The surviving Maya manuscripts also deal extensively with the motion of Venus, which may also have driven decisions to go to war. We also look at the famous Aztec Sun Stone, the 2012 phenomenon, and the fall of the Itzá Kingdom. NOTE: The Song of Urania will be going on hiatus and will return on the first full moon of 2026.
