Between Karma, Buddhism and Chinese astrology: all about Tibetan astrology

  • last year
Tibetan astrology, originating from Asia, is the result of two different approaches:
- Hindu astrology,
- Chinese astrology.

It is also inspired by a branch of Buddhism called Lamaism.
One of its main foundations is based on Karma, which designates the influence of our actions on our destiny.

The astrological signs (which depend on the year of birth) correspond almost to the Chinese astrological signs:
- mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

Tibetan astrology is also based on the 5 elements:
Wood: symbol of vitality and harmony.
Fire: symbol of joy of life, ambition and idealism.
Earth: symbol of wisdom and caution.
Metal: symbol of severity.
Water: symbol of calm, listening, intuition and shyness.

Did you know? It is said that the Dalai Lama surrounds himself with Tibetan astrologers who advise him!
