Trecena 19 opens on 1 Cuauhtli, the eagle, under the patronage of Xochiquetzal, goddess of flowers and weaving, patroness of female artisans, embroiderers and weavers, whose own myth includes an abduction by Tezcatlipoca that made her, in that telling, goddess also of illicit love, a darker thread running beneath her more usual associations with beauty and craft. The eagle week flies high and lands hard: its children read as brave and open handed, given to boldness that outruns means, and Sahagun's augury warns the eagle born against excess even while promising them honours, a week of ambition and its price that pairs a bird associated with the sun's daily flight and with elite warrior standing to a goddess whose own story includes both great honour and a fall into circumstances not of her choosing.
The pairing of a weaving goddess with the eagle, a sign more usually read for war and solar vigour than for craft, is one of the count's less obviously matched patronages, and the readers' warning against excess may owe as much to the eagle sign's own soaring, ambitious character as to any specific trait of Xochiquetzal's, the trecena patron and the day sign each contributing a distinct thread to the week's full reading.
