Fourth Removed Adversarial Aspect (bzhi gshed)

  • An inauspicious calculation made when divinations concerning obstacle years are carried out according to the gSer-lo-can, gYu-lo-can, or Dung-lo-can methods. It entails calculating the fourth removed year sign counting forwards or backwards from the present year. A similar calculation is also made in divinations concerning timely and untimely death, counting four places forwards or backwards from the year in which a death occurs. GD (from the Glossary to Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings)
