Tibetan Horoscope
There is a Tibetan astrology system used to cast a birth horoscope. It is known as the Kalachakra system, and is called Dhus Khor. This system makes use of eight heavenly bodies, but of which Kethu is not included.
Much like in western astrology, this horoscope system focuses on a person’s Sun Sign. However, it also focuses on the Ascendant Sign as well as the weekday of a person’s birth.
In addition to Kalachakra teachings there also is a secret tantric practice that is sometimes used. It is known as Yangchar (Shiva Sarodhaya Tantra), which means Arising Vowels.
The Kalachakra system has an Indian origin. However, it often is used along with the Tibetan astrology horoscope.
