About
Tibetan Astro. Science
History of Tibetan Astrology
 The
Tibetan Astro. Science, spread in Tibet is mainly of two
kinds: Astronomy (skar-rtsis) and Astrology
('Byung-rtsis). The basis for this system was there in Tibet from
very ancient times when farmers and nomads in Tibet make examination
of the constellation to forecast changes in seasons, monsoon for
crops and pasture for cattles. However, this system became more
systematic after the translation of Kalachakra tantra into Tibetan
in the year 1027A.D, which contains five chapters.
Buddha Shakyamuni first taught this Kalachakra
tantra when he was 81 year old (881 B.C.) at the stupa of Shri Dhanakataka
or Palden Drepung in Amravati, South India on the full moon day
of 3rd month of a Metal-Dragon Year. This tantra contains information
such as the natural state of the Universe, inhabitance and especially
the planetary or the cosmological influence on the four seasons.
The Kalachakra tantra presents the sources of all the calculations
and interpretation used for determining the position of the Sun,
Moon and other planets for preparation of the calendar or almanac.
This Kalachakra also includes various activities according to planetary
aspects, and contains the text known as "Arising Vowel",
which correlates the characteristics of Sanskrit alphabet and phonemic
systems of vowels and consonants with Astrological interpretations
from the positions of the planets.
Though the rudiment for this system present in Tibet during the
pre-Buddhist era of Bon, it has been passed down only through Oral
transmission. However, later during the time of gNam-ri-srong-btsan
in the 6th century, the translation of elemental astrology from
Chinese started and helped develop in the same.
This is one of the systems used to make predictions regarding joys
and sorrows that a human being experience in one's lifetime by using
elemental laws of relations and methods. This doesn't require any
mathematics calculation as in astronomy. The elemental system is
believed to have been taught by the lord Manjushri in China during
837 B.C.
In brief, the Kalachakra tantra contains all the information and
calculation used in Astrology and Astronomy. Therefore, Kalachakra
is the foundation of our practice.

Introductions to Tibetan Astrology
Traditional Tibetan Astrology originates from two distinct systems,
that of the cycles of Animals and Elemental Astrology or 'byung
rtsis, that from the Highest Yoga Tantra of Kalachakra, Kalachakra
Astrology, or sKar-rtsis. Kar- Tsi also includes astrological calculations
and interpretations from Yangchar (Shivasvarodhaya tantra). Although
influenced by early Bon and Chinese astrology, the elemental approach
took a unique course of development within Tibet.
 1.
Astronomy (Tib. Kar-tsi)
The Kar Tsi approach to astrology is based upon the calculation
of the signs, constellations and planets and their inter-relationships.
In the Kalacakra Tantra as a whole, the subject matter is usually
divided into three Wheels, or phases, known as the External, Internal
and Alternative Wheels.
- The External wheel is the External Cosmos, with the cycles
of the planets, constellations and stars, and this includes a
system of both astronomy and astrology.
- The Internal wheel is the internal Cosmos of chakras (wheels),
channels and energies within the body, and their relation to the
cycles of the External Cosmos. This section contains a basis for
understanding how the planets affect us through the mechanism
of the subtle body.
- The Alternative wheel is the yogic technique for purifying and
transforming the inner and outer energies to release our innate
awareness and capacities. These are all depicted within the Kalachakra
Mandala.
 2.
Elemental Astrology (Tib. Nag tsi)
It includes a 60-year cycle of animals and elements.
Tibetan elemental astrology, 'byung-rtsis, which draws from
Classical Elemental Astrology, is the ancient art of calculation
and interpretation of celestial phenomena. Classical Elemental
Astrology or nag-rtsis is based on the five elements, the twelve-year
cycle, eight par-kha or trigrams, and nine sme-ba or magic square
numbers. Tibetan astrologers use these to calculate horoscopes
along the four major themes: one's life span, physical condition,
economic and political power, and overall luck in business and
work.
3. Shiva Sarvodaya Tantra (Tib. Yangchar)
The astrology of rising sounds – is a system of astrological
wheels for a wide variety of results.
The Arising Vowel System, dbyangs-char, which assigns a different
vowel to each of the days of the month, and calculates its effect
on individuals and nations.
