Imix - Crocodile

The first day sign representing the primordial waters and new beginnings.

Imix, the crocodile or water lily, represents the primordial waters from which creation emerged. It signifies new beginnings, creativity, and the unconscious depths. Those born under Imix have strong emotions and creative potential but may struggle with boundaries.

From the waters, life emerges; Imix remembers the first stirring.

Traditional, Day-Keeper Teaching

Imix as the first day sign connects to creation mythology and primal origins.
