Si era varón, sería hombre valiente y captivaría los enemigos, o moriría en la guerra, porque decían que en tal signo nació.
\nY todos hacían penitencia, chicos, hombres y mujeres, y cortaban las orejas y sacaban la sangre a honra del Sol. Decían que con esto se creaban el Sol.
\nLa séptima casa de este signo se llama xúchitl. Decían que era indiferente, bien afortunado y mal afortunada. Especialmente que los pintores honraban este signo que se llama xúchitl, y le hacían una estatua y le daban ofrendas. Y también las mujeres labranderas honraba este signo, y ayunaban antes ochenta o cuarenta o veinte días que llegasen a la fiesta deste signo xúchitl por razón que le pedían que les diese y favoreciese en sus labores de bien pintar, y a las mujeres
