Background
Tibetan astrology is one of the "Ten Sciences" of Tibetan culture and shows influence from both Chinese and Hindu astrology. The Vaidurya Karpo (White Beryl) is its premier text on astrological divination.
How it works
Birth year animal and element, the parkha trigrams and mewa numbers are combined with the Tibetan calendar to judge favourable days and personal cycles.
Notes and limits
Culture: Tibetan astrology is a specialised traditional discipline; consult trained Tibetan astrologers rather than a generic calculator.
