*The thirty Chinese and Tibetan Computational Charts, which form the subject matter of Part X, pp. 000-000, are considered to be among the most ancient aspects of elemental divination. Each of the charts has eight sectors, where distinctive readings may be obtained. The count is made in reverse ([[i.e. anticlockwise]]) for subjects with a female year-sign, starting from the female year of a given pair, and consecutively or clockwise for those with a male year-sign, starting from the male year of a given pair. On reaching the subject's log men year-sign in any of these charts, it is compared with the vitality element four places backwards ([[yar bzhi'i srog]]), with the body element four places forwards ([[mar bzhi'i lus]]), with the destiny element eleven places backwards ([[yar bcu gcig dbang thang]]), and with the luck element eleven places forwards ([[mar gyi bcu gcig klung rta]]). In addition, the vitality element seven places backwards ([[yar bdun srog]]) and the body element seven places forwards ([[mar bdun lus]]) are compared respectively with the subject's vitality and body elements, while the subject's log men year-sign is compared with the corresponding destiny and luck elements.
