Tibetan Astrology Session
Tibetan Astrology is an important part of Tibetan culture. It is interwoven into daily life and provides guidance for major decisions providing the wisdom. Tibetans have used astrology for thousands of years as a tool to better understand both themselves—including their health and fortune—as well as external factors in their lives. Tibetan Astrology functions on the principle of interdependent logic. Nothing in this universe functions independently. We exist 100% in interdependence. This means that things are not random. From one thing, it is possible to discover everything.
Generally, the basis of Tibetan Astrology is the five elements. All of the elements conclude in time and move in predictable ways. Time is like the sixth element. So, if you know the basics of time, then it is possible to catch the elements. Through the use of time, it is possible to discover when and where something will happen, what time it will occur and what elements are involved. We completely depend on the elements. We don’t have control over them ourselves. However the elements move, we move. Therefore, if we know when the elements will be a certain way, we also know how we will be at that time.
Tibetan Astrology is very much in connection with Tibetan Buddhism. Traditionally, almost all practicing astrologers in Tibet were monks. For correct understanding, deep insight into Buddhist psychology is needed. Tibetan Astrology is as much a result of mental training, such as meditation, developing fine awareness and intuition, as the result of skillful astrological calculations. It is a practice of compassion.
The shifting of the elements according to the astrological cycles affects our bodies and the functioning of the organs. A good doctor needs to understand this, especially when doing a pulse diagnosis. Otherwise, since the person’s pulse changes according to seasonal changes, this could result in a misdiagnosis.
Tibetan Astrology teaches us that we are part of universal cycles. We may think we act independently, but this is only illusion and ignorance. We are completely dependent on these cycles and affected by them—mentally, physically and energetically. It is wise to understand this and harmonize ourselves with these changes. This will help us to be happy and healthy.
Business, Land, or Home Blessing
Conditions often ripen in our homes, properties, businesses and communities that call for powerful rituals to eliminate their effects. The monks perform rituals to transform conditions into harmony and peace eliminating negative forces, increasing positive forces, long life, healing, protection, transformation of forces in the environment, and more. Suggested donation is variable.
Sacred Art Sand Mandala
The monks will come to your location, perform an opening ceremony to set the space for the creation of a Tibetan Buddhist sacred art sand mandala and will end the day with a closing ceremony where the 3-D art is swept and dispersed.

In life, we have many ups and downs leaving imprints into the people and places of our lives. These imprints create the need to clear us and our spaces of residue and to invite optimal and prosperous energies into our lives.

With the goal of housing a permanent center with a resident teacher and monastic support staff and local volunteers, Aspen Tibet coordinates events near and far.
In support of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's wishes, it is an honor to continue the auspicious tradition of welcoming and hosting Tibetan Buddhist Monks from the historic Gaden Shartse Monastery (exiled in southern India).
The monastics offer a full schedule of Tibetan programs, lectures, art, and cultural events. Alive with the rich color and pageantry of ancient rituals and ceremonies of mystical Tibet, these opportunities giving area residents and visitors a chance to experience firsthand the unique culture of the Tibetan people and the rich traditions of Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism.
Through ceremonial ritual to eliminate interference and promote balance and harmony, one-on-one and group blessings or house, property, and business blessings along with unique personal events are also available by appointment.
In addition, handmade weavings, paintings, jewelry, and other unique items made by Tibetan refugees in the Tibetan resettlement area in India, will be available for purchase.
