Your result uses a clearly stated Phugpa-style Losar boundary. Tibetan astrology has multiple calendars and lineages, so the convention matters.
Tibetan Astrology Goes Beyond a Single Animal
The traditional elemental layer combines a 60-year animal-and-element cycle with 9 Mewa, 8 Parkha and five major life forces. The Tibetan year begins at Losar rather than on January 1, which is why an accurate Tibetan astrology calculator must handle January and February birthdays carefully.
8 Parkha
Eight trigrams with traditional directional and elemental associations.
5 Life Forces
Life force, body, power, luck or windhorse, and soul in the elemental tradition.
60-Year Cycle
Animal and element combinations repeat through a traditional 60-year cycle.
What Is a Tibetan Mewa?
Mewa is a number from 1 to 9 arranged in the Tibetan magic-square tradition. Each number is associated with a color, an element and a direction. Your birth Mewa is calculated from the Tibetan year convention used for the profile.
What Is a Tibetan Parkha?
Parkha means one of the eight trigrams used in Tibetan elemental astrology. The free calculator shows the birth-year Parkha and an age-progressed annual Parkha. Transliteration varies across English sources: Khön/Kon, Da/Dva, Khin/Gin, Tsin/Zin and Zön/Zon can refer to the same trigrams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tibetan astrology?
Tibetan astrology is a family of traditional calculation systems that includes animal and element cycles, Mewa, Parkha and other calendrical factors.
What is the difference between Tibetan and Chinese astrology?
Both traditions share animal and element cycles, but Tibetan elemental astrology adds its own calculations such as Mewa, Parkha and the five life forces.
Why does Losar matter for a Tibetan astrology calculator?
Losar marks the start of the Tibetan year, so a January or February birth can belong to the previous Tibetan year.
What is my Mewa?
Your birth Mewa is one of the nine numbers in the Tibetan magic square and is a major layer of elemental astrology.
What is my Parkha?
Parkha is one of eight trigrams. The free profile distinguishes the birth-year Parkha from the age-progressed annual Parkha.
