Current Numeric Square (babs sme)

• The numeric square corresponding to a subject's present age (babs sme) can be calculated once the chart with the appropriate natal numeric square at its centre has been determined. At the beginning of the count, one moves directly east from the centre, and then continues in an anti-clockwise sequence in the case of persons born in one of the six male years (mouse, tiger, dragon, horse, monkey, or dog) or in a clockwise sequence in the case of persons born in one of the six female years (ox, hare, snake, sheep, bird or pig). On the completion of one circuit, the calculation returns to the centre, and so on until the desired numeric square corresponding to the subject's present age is eventually obtained. Once the current numeric square has been obtained, it may then be compared to the natal numeric square for predictive purposes. GD (from the Glossary to Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings)
