" BON ORIGINS
The Bon religion was well established in Tibet before the introduction of Buddhism. Over the centuries however, it appears that many Buddhist practices have taken root in Bon and reverse. For someone not too familiar with robes, iconography or rituals it may even be hard to spot the difference.
Astrology is important within the Bon system. Methods are given for divination, warding off negative influences, astrological calculations and medical diagnosis.
The four types of astrological calculation systems according to David Snellgrove are:
- The mirror of magical horoscopes
- The circle of Parkhas (trigrams) and Mewas (magic squares in 9 colours) - Chinese origin
- The Wheel of Time (Kalachakra) of the Elements
- The Jushak method: calculation of interdependence
A very important Bon deity is called Balchen Geko, who is said to govern time and the three world of existence. In this respect the deity is analogous to Kalachakra in Buddhism.
The Tibetan system works with a 360-day lunar year and cycles of 60 and 180 years. As a year is longer than 360 days, some days are doubled, but others are skipped in a complicated manner. To make the calendar fit the observations, occasionally even an extra month is introduced."
" ibetan Astrology originated from several different traditions: Indian, Chinese, the local Bon religion, and the Buddhist Kalachakra tantra.
Traditionally, astrology was one of the five secondary sciences in Tibet. It concerns not only divination, but it is also used in the study of time cycles, Tibetan chronology and the compilation of the calendar. The calendar in the form of an almanac is still quite important in the daily life of the Tibetans to ensure that their daily activities are in tune with the cosmos.
In general, certain days of the week and of the month are considered auspicious for specific activities (from marriage to hanging of prayer flags - even cutting one’s hair); but also, every day relates to one’s own specific astrological chart of the day of birth. Furthermore, the position of the planets and the cycles of the elements determine good or bad fortune and good or bad health.
In a Tibetan village, the astrologer would use his skills to advise people about nearly everything: from the weather, the best time to harvest, verify if and when two people should marry, to important business deals. In case the outcome would be negative, often religious practices would be advised to remove obstacles, which would be carried out by monks of the local monastery. Traditionally, a doctor in Tibetan medicine (Amchi) has also studied Astrology to determine for example the best timing for a treatment. As a consequence, in many villages, the Tibetan doctor would also be the astrologer; besides a local Buddhist teacher, he/she would probably be the most important person to visit for general advice.
At the birth of a child, the charts would be checked to see if any special rituals were required to ward off negative planetary influences. Also a “death chart” would often be prepared to decide the exact performance of the funeral. Improper performance could result in problems for the family, as well as for the deceased.
Tibetan astrology is not only strongly linked to religion, also Tibetan medical practitioners would study astrology (and religious texts) to determine the timing of medication etc.
Tibetan ‘Naktsi’ astrology has mainly Chinese origins, and the ‘Kartsi’ astrology has Indian origins."

@_Barry time stamped at the cosmic turtle:
(you think its tied to any Native American Myths!?!?!?!?):
Manjushri
Sure. See the following:
bodyDid you paint it? Or Patron? Who is the red Deity?
The first time I viewed the pic I didn’t catch the Dragons in the sea and in the Sky. It wasn’t until after I posted the Dragon heart scenes, and looked at the pic a second time that I saw them.
Cool coincidence…
How far humanity has strayed. In the modern era, our most powerful intellects have transformed the study of the stars from a source of wonder and guidance into a harbinger of Armageddon.
“Yama, the lord of death”
I thought this might be him.
Double coincidence, no?!?!?!?:
Death & Dragons…
" The Quadrantids have the potential to produce 60 to 200 meteors per hour under perfect conditions, according to NASA, but the best part of this skyward spectacle only lasts for about six hours—so you’ll have just one evening to catch the dazzling show.
This year, the Quadrantids run from December 26, 2024, to January 16, 2025, according to the American Meteor Society. But the best time for viewing them in the United States will fall in the late evening of January 2 and into the early morning hours of January 3. They’re most easily seen from the Northern Hemisphere, but visibility can be dicey because of the cloudy weather conditions that often occur in early January."
