-*The divination of obstacle years ([[keg rtsis]]), which forms the content of Part VI, pp. 000-000, is applied to determine the degrees of happiness or suffering which a given subject might experience in the course of a given year within the sexagenary cycle. Forty-seven divinatory pebbles are deployed corresponding to the outer ([[phyi]]), inner ([[nang]]), and intermediate ([[bar]]) calculations, which are respectively made on the basis of the log men year signs, trigrams and numeric squares, along with the secret ([[gsang]]) calculation of the sectors of growth and decline, the most secret ([[yang gsang]]) calculation of the hours coinciding with the destiny element, the calculation of the multiples of nine ([[dgu mig]]) and the tomb sign calculation ([[dur mig]]). Among these, some of the combined trigram prognoses correspond directly to the hexagrams of the I Ching, while others are unique to this system. Other more complicated calculations of obstacle years may be made by applying the so-called Chinese method of pebble distribution ([[rgya nag rdel skor]]), or the three cycles of sPang rgyan lo ma.
