Twelve khri sgo (khri so bcu gnyis)

• When divinations are made concerning the wedding day, this calculation is employed to determine whether the enemy's sector will be destroyed (dgra khyim gzhom pa), and the wealth sector adopted (nor khyim blang ba), or whether the portents suggest a marriage within the same sector (rang khyim 'bubs/rang khyim 'bugs). For example, the mouse and pig are the year signs of the bride destroying the enemy sector of the year, which suggest an open opportunity for marriage in the ox and sheep years. Similarly, the tiger and hare year signs suggest an open opportunity for marriage in the bird or monkey years; the horse and snake do so for marriage in the mouse and pig years; the bird and monkey do so for marriage in the horse and snake years; and the ox, dog, sheep and dragon do so for marriage in the tiger or hare year.
