Table of the Element of the Year

From Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Tibetan calendar operates with a 60-year cycle going through all combinations of the five elements and the twelve animals. This cycle is called Rab-byung and it runs from a Fire-Rabbit year to a Fire-Tiger year. The table below shows in a graphic representation how the elements rules over the years throughout one cycle of Rab-byung. One element rules two years in a row and then changes to the next element, while an animal sign will rule for one year at a time. At present, in 2001, we are in an Iron-Snake year, and 2002 will be a Water-Horse year.
