The Tibetan system of astrology is a combination of Indian and Chinese methods, the greater and most essential (spiritual) part being taken from the Chinese, and with the technical element coming from the Indian system. The Indian or technical part (ephemeredes, lunar tables, etc.) is called Kar-Tsi and the Chinese or spiritual part, is called jung-tsi.Tibetan astrology is lunar-based, with the Sun (and all the planets) taking a secondary position to the Moon. Your Tibetan birthday is not your solar birthday (or yearly return), but the lunar phase-angle day on which you were born. Thus you would celebrate your birthday on that 25th (or whatever) day of the lunar month you were born in. It is here that the Tibetan system excels and has a great deal to offer Westerners, while here in the West the awareness of the lunar cycle has been lost or trivialized.In Tibetan astrology, numbers are counted forward, backward, and around in many different combinations. It is complicated enough so that not everyone can do it. It requires an astrologer. In fact, it is ironic that astrology, East and West, seems to be just complicated enough that the average person can’t do it for themselves and requires some expert to do it for them.If the examples of Chinese Astrology got your attention,
try a Tibetan horoscope reading.
