Hi there Jaguar, could you let me know of the links to other date decoders so i can have a look?
And would you agree that it's important to be looking at time in terms of this calendar? [And that it's great fun to decode your birthdate - and a good way in!]
The Tortuga site seems pretty large and reputable, but as always with these things you have to look into them for yourself...
They [Tortuga] have this great Library for research too;

In the meantime, here's a bit more about the new spin cycle.
It's from a different site;

~ SPIRALS OF TIME~
NEW GALACTIC SPIN CYCLE ABOUT TO BEGIN!
Based on the Dreamspell [their name for the Tzolkin, don't know why they've called it that...Jaguar, any thoughts on this new Cycle?]
Every 260-days we undergo a sacred spiral
of time known as the Galactic Spin Cycle.
Each approx 9 month cycle of time is understood as a
spiritual gestation cycle of growth and unfolding.
*Nov 4th 2008 is Yellow Cosmic Sun Day, Kin 260,
which is the final day of this Galactic Spin Cycle.
Nov 5th is Red Magnetic Dragon, Kin 1, which always
starts a new 260-day Galactic Spin cycle.
These 2 days are potent portals as people in over 90 countries
will be synchronized in the contemplation and celebration on these days!
*For those who may find it interesting, Nov 4, Yellow Cosmic Sun is also the presidential election day in the U.S.A.!
The 260-day cycle that will be completing spanned from
Gregorian: Feb 18, 2008 - Nov 4, 2008.
(aka Galactic 12 to Self-Existing 18.)
And the new 260-day cycle will span:
Gregorian: Nov 5, 2008 - July 22, 2009.
(aka Self-Existing 19 to Cosmic 26.)
Each time we begin a new Galactic Spin cycle it signifies that we
have completed a journey through all of the 260 sacred permutations
of creation energy, and Now we begin again, travelling through
the same 260 frequencies of movement and measure,
yet at a new rung of experience on the ascending evolutionary Spiral.
The perpetual unfoldment of the codes of creation spirals over and over,
inviting new and current interaction, ever-revealing deeper layers of
its Synchronistic Magic...
As we receive the initiation delivered to us by the launching of this
new Spin cycle, we are collectively invited to make space to review
what has occurred in our inner and outer lives in the last 9 moons
that we may consciously integrate all we have realized, learned and
experienced in the last Spin. Let us honor all that we have undergone
in the last 260-days and note where we have grown, as well as the
personal aspects and areas of our lives we have more room to evolve.
May this self-reflection gift us with an expansive and fortified sense
of inner truth and clarity with which to operate from!
This new spin cycle also offers us a potent invitation to forgive
all of our "mistakes" or inadequacies of the past cycle,
and start fresh with humility and connection
to the grace of our own inherent innocence and wholeness.
May we also extend this peaceful vibration by compassionately forgiving
All of our Relations, thus offering our hearts and minds as a "clean slate"
for the Universe to once again create upon.
As the Wise Ones say: The Journey is the Destination!
