Tibetan astro interpretation is a simplified approach to the traditional Tibetan science of astrology. Tibetan astrology as a whole draws from many ancient traditions that share a belief in the interdependence of energies throughout our universe. In its complete form, it can be quite complex, using many precise calculations to provide a detailed analysis of changing interplanetary influences over a person’s entire lifetime. Astro interpretations are more condensed, offering both a general overview of an individual’s astrological situation, and guidance on relationships, employment, lifestyle, spiritual matters or other issues.

In the smaller towns and villages of traditional Tibet, astrological readings and charts were often provided by the local doctor, who in many cases was also the resident spiritual teacher. Advice was handed out on matters ranging from business decisions and marriage problems to deeper questions regarding spiritual practice. In keeping with this tradition, Tibetan astro interpretation can offer helpful advice at critical moments in people’s lives. Individuals ask a specific question, provide their day/year of birth, and later receive a brief written report containing pertinent information. Typical questions might relate to things like:
