[Aztlan] Tlaloc Star?

[Gary Daniels]

Does Tlaloc  have an association with stars (or a particular star)?

On Lintel 41 from Yachilan, the figure on the right wears a headdress which
includes an emblem that looks like a five-pointed star. The interior of the
star contains a circle-within-a-circle design. This headdress is referred to
by Carolyn Tate in  her book on Yaxchilan as ³Tlaloc.² Here¹s a link to an
image:

So I started doing a little research on Tlaloc and found this very
interesting depiction on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlaloc

It appears the sculptor purposefully rendered Tlaloc¹s face as a sort of
³EK² glyph. The nose and eyebrows seem purposefully combined into one unit-
which I haven¹t seen in other sculptures. Tlaloc also appeas to have rays of
light emanating from behind his head, star-like. And in his head band is the
circle-within-a-circle motif repeated multiple times.  I¹ve seen this same
headband on a sculpture of Quetzalcoatl, who definitely has an association
with a star/planet: Venus.

The article states Tlaloc was the Aztec version of the Mayan god Chac.  I¹ve
read elsewhere that God GI is also associated with Chac. Interestingly, God
GI is ³enthroned in the sky² at the beginning of the Mayan Flood Myth and
Decapitation of the Cosmic Caiman. This ³enthronement in the sky² seems very
star-like and suggests Chac (and thus Tlaloc) has an association with a
particular star.

Is this the case? If so, do scholars know which star Tlaloc is associated
with?
