Advice on posing a question: Include your gender and birth date, and the gender and birth date of any other person who is part of a compatibility question. Request a report for one person for any year, or ask a love or other relationship question. The most effective question involves a compatibility chart. For example,
- "How will my business/love life/etc. do this year?"
- "How does my horoscope match up with that of_____ (partner/child/fiancee)?"
- "What is a good date for me and _____ to have our wedding/start a business/buy a house/travel?"

Here is a brief description of Tibetan astrology and its secrets, followed by references:
Homage to Manjusri!
Several
types of Tibetan divination rely on the sky or birds. Astrology is the
most elaborate of these; it is a part of traditional medical practice.
The universe mirrors the human body, a macrocosm of the same patterns and
forces.
Tibetan astrologers practice both the Indian/Greek/Persian sidereal astrology, mapping the passage of the sun through constellations of stars, and Central Asian lunar astrology (best known in its Chinese version). The Chinese system is known as dark, and the Indian as light. This web site offers advice based on lunar astrology, including the sixty-year cycle of animals and elements, the dates of the lunar month and the days of the week, based on the yearly calendar of the Tibetan government in exile.
The great synthesis of astrology for Tibetans is based on the Kalachakra ("Cycles of Time") Tantra, an enormous and relatively late (tenth century) tantric treatise that also contains microcosmic and macrocosmic "supreme yoga" instructions for meditation, and the revelation of the kings of Shambhala, probably located in present-day northern Afghanistan, who will defeat materialists in an apocalyptic battle.
Everyone is age one ("in their first year") when born, turns "two" at the first new year, and so forth. Everyone's birth day falls at New Year. New Year's Day for the male water-sheep year was pre-dawn of Monday, March 3, 2003.
