Description

Tibetan Astrology provides a comprehensive introduction to this traditional art and science, exploring its historical roots and influences from China and India. The book delves into the two main branches of Tibetan astrology: Nagtsi and Kartsi, and explains the twelve- and sixty-year cycles, as well as the twelve animals and five elements associated with them. The text also covers the mewa, or magical squares, which are numerological factors used to calculate the auspiciousness of days or years, and the parkha, or eight trigrams of the I Ching. Practical guidance is offered on how to analyze the character of hours, days, months, and years, as well as how to cast and interpret a Tibetan horoscope. Numerous diagrams and charts are included in the book, including tables for converting Western dates to dates on the Tibetan calendar, making it an indispensable resource for those interested in this ancient practice.
