Explanation for the Elements, conjunctions and drubjor:
In the skar rtsis system of Tibetan astrology, derived from Indian astrology, the relative locations of planets, constellations and other celestial bodies are considered to provide important indicators of the daily rythyms of our lives. These computated locations are explained through different systems which use analogical language drawn from the cultural norms. The Complete Tibetan Calendar provides explanations of these computations and their associations in terms of the "auspiciousness" of a certain activity on a certain day. By observing these energetic patterns over time, one may develop an awareness of important patterns which influence our mental relationship to our daily activities.
The Complete Tibetan Calendar provides daily calculations of three important astrological systems designed to provide predictions about the auspiciousness of the day for conducting certain types of activities. In relative order of importance, the primary system is called the Ten Element Combinations. The secondary indicator calculated for the Calendar is the occurence of a Drubjor, the most important of the 15 Great Conjunctures. The third indicator system is called the 28 Great Conjuntions.
These three systems are primarily derived from calculations emphasized in Eastern astrological systems: 1) the “lunar mansion” (the celestial location, based on the fixed stars, that the moon passes through each day), and 2) the planetary ruler for each day of the week (Sun for Sunday, Moon for Monday, and so on). The element combination associates the daily ruling planet’s element with that of the current lunar mansion. Likewise, the twenty-eight great conjunctions associate the daily ruling planet’s characteristics with those of the lunar mansion of the day. Accordingly, each day is associated with a particular element combination and one of the 28 Great Conjunctions. The Complete Tibetan Calendar provides the Tsurluk calculations of each of these indicators for every day of 2004.

The primary means for determining the auspiciousness of the day for certain types of events is to calculate the combination of elements that govern the day. There are four elements (water, earth, fire and wind) in the skar rtsis calculation system. Each celestial location determined by the lunar orbit is associated with a particular element. Further, each planet is associated with an element. The element of the planet when combined with the element of the lunar constellation result in ten possible element combinations which provide clues to the energy of day.
The Tibetan system further classifies some of these combinations of days and mansions into what is sometimes called “the fifteen great conjunctures.” The auspicious combination of drubjor is the conjuncture most commonly referred to by Tibetans using this calendar system. On drubjor, most activities are considered auspicious. A Drubjor does not occur daily, but only a few times a year.
The 28 Great Conjunctions are based on an association of the ruling planet for the day with lunar mansion, focusing on the characteristics of the energies of these celestial bodies rather than the elements associated with them. Each conjunction describes the overall energy of the day with respect to the risks and benefits of beginning activities on that day.
The occurence of a Drubjor is considered very auspicious and typically occurs during a favorable element combination. When the Conjunction is contra-indicative, the tradition is to give substantially greater weight to the auspiciousness of the Drubjor.
The Complete Tibetan Calendar provides a table explaining the meaning of the different element combinations and 28 Great Conjunctions. The element combination explanations are set forth below; the Great Conjunctions explanatory table and designation of which days are Drubjors are available in The Complete Tibetan Calendar print version and the digital version, a sample of which may be downloaded for free from this page.
The combination of earth with earth is the first of the three very auspicious combinations. The energy of this day favors the accomplishment of one's wishes, and is favorable to beginning construction projects. The combination of water with water is also a very auspicious combination. The energy of this day favors personal activities, such as participation in religious ceremonies, which will help one prolong life and increase one's energy. The combination of water with earth is the third of the very auspicious combinations. Engaging in joyous activities on this day will bring great good fortune and happiness.
The combination of fire with fire is the first of the favorable combinations. The energy of the day increases the benefits of activities which provide material support like shelter and provisions. The combination of wind with wind is also favorable to activities. The energy of this day brings activities such as religious practice and travel to a speedy and successful fruition. The combination of fire with wind is the third of the favorable elements. The energy of this day encourages the gathering of vitality and strength for auspicious engagements.
The combination of earth and wind is the first of the three unfavorable combinations. Positive activities will be impeded by the energy of the day, which portends poverty, failure and the diminishment of one's strength, and negative activities will be strengthened. The combination of water and wind is also an unfavorable combination. Positive activities on this day will be marked by divisiveness and disagreement, and negative actions which harm unity will increase. The combination of earth and fire is the third of the unfavorable combinations. Activities on this day will be obstructed by the day's energy, and will be marked by strife and displeasure.
The element combination of fire and water is extremely unfavorable. Fire and water is the combination prefiguring death, and any activity on this day will face significant obstacles that may weaken one's vitality.
