Prepared by Nawang Thartho, based on Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute's calendar. Additional advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of FPMT, and Geshe Nawang Dakpa, astrologer lama of FPMT's Tse Chen Ling in San Francisco.

We have marked days* that are auspicious and inauspicious for various activities, and days that are favorable and unfavorable according to the combination of elements: earth, air, fire and water. These combinations impact on the effectiveness of one's activities as well as one's health.

As always, many Tibetan days are either missed or repeated.
