For the Tibetans, the Grand Duke is King The-Se, and his entire retinue includes literally hundreds of earth lords. As pointed out earlier, this is handled by astrologers and almanacs by a chart diagram with 12 or 16 sections laid out like a map, with compass directions. In these sections the earth lords are positioned, often in groups.
The above diagram is the kind used for chart the Earth Lords for the current year and for the current hours. In this chart, as you can see, there are twelve directional houses, very similar to our Western horoscope of the twelve houses. Only here, the accent is not the zodiac or ecliptic, but on the particular direction. The familiar eight directions (North, South, East, West, N.E., N.W., S.W., and S.E.) and augmented by dividing the four cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) each into two parts, one before the cardinal point and one following it. The net result is a 12-house system of directions.
Notice that one of the twelve animal signs is placed in the center, in this case the Ox. To calculate the directions of the earth lords for any given year, consult the tables at the end of this book for the animal sign for the current year. For example, 2007 is the year of the Dog, so we would place the dog in the center of the wheel and access the tables to see which earth lords are in which houses for the year of the Pig.
