The creation account of the Mexica/Azteca is called the five suns because it represents the previous attempts of creating life/ or the birth of a new sun. Throughout the process, four gods had to sacrifice their own life. This mythology reflects on the idea of birth, death and rebirth, which is exactly what happened with the past four suns. The first cycle of life or the first sun is known as Jaguar, the second sun is Wind, the third is known as Rains, the fourth sun is Water, and lastly the fifth cycle, which we live in, is known as Earthquake.

So the omen was less of a reason and more of a foreshadowing.
