*In order to calculate the current trigram ([[babs spar]]) corresponding to a subject's present age, one should count clockwise in the case of male subjects, starting from Li, and in the case of female subjects, one should count anticlockwise, starting from Kham. Counting through each of the eight trigrams in turn, after reaching the number ten, one should take a diagonal leap, and continue counting in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction, as appropriate. Eventually one will obtain the trigram corresponding to the subject's current age. [[GD]] (from the Glossary to [[Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings]])

Current Trigram (babs spar)

  • In order to calculate the current trigram (babs spar) corresponding to a subject's present age, one should count clockwise in the case of male subjects, starting from Li, and in the case of female subjects, one should count anticlockwise, starting from Kham. Counting through each of the eight trigrams in turn, after reaching the number ten, one should take a diagonal leap, and continue counting in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction, as appropriate. Eventually one will obtain the trigram corresponding to the subject's current age. GD (from the Glossary to Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings)
