Astrology

One of the main expertise of the Ancients was the knowledge of the Modality of Time. Astrology is based on the assumption that the positions of the planets, stars and the moon at the momement of our birth and constantly throughout our life affects us. If the law of relativity were stretched a little, it could support this notion.

The oldest astrological system is the Mayan Calendar, along with the Chinese and the Egyptian. The best way to think of astrology is to imagine a wheel-within-a-wheel type of time measuring system. The Chinese is marked by the 5 Element and 12 Animal days, months and years. The Egyptian as well as one type of Ancient Hindu and Hebrew astrology is a decan based system, where each constalation and house has a deity assigned. The Western astrological system is solar, the Chinese is character based, the Tibetan and Mayan calendars are solar, lunar and stellar systems.

Considering that this knowledge is based on observations over up to thousands of years, the time cycles become an important concept. The Chinese calendar is the most charactercentered, the Tibetan is most oriented towards Spirituality, Western astrological system is useful because it notes the position of the planets and constalations most accurately and the Mayan calendar is most effective for sorcery.

Tibetan Astrology

Tibetan culture developed from the merging of Tibetan Bon, Chinese and Hindu cultures. That is reflected in the Tibetan System of Astrology.

The Bon part of Tibetan Astrology is the Parkha and Mewa system - the Parkhas are the 8 trigrams of the I Ching, the Mewas are magic spuares based on the number 3 as base. From the Chinese tradition the Tibetans derive the 5 Element and 12 Animals system. From the Hindu tradition the Deities within the Lunar Mansions are used to construct mantras. Tibetan Astrology is unique among known astrology systems in that it is ecumenist and innovative

Tibetan Astrology has many meditative and spiritual applications - it is superb system for the analysis of time.
