What follows are four separate tables that list the positions for the earth lords, one each for years, months, days, and double hours. Each table is organized by the twelve traditional animal signs (Mouse, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Bird, Dog and Pig).

To used these tables to plot the positions of the earth lords for the current year, take the animal for that year. For example, 2007 is the year of the Fire Pig, so we would look under the ‘years’ section for the table for the Pig. In that table, you will find a list of each of the houses or compass directions, and under each direction a list of the names (can numbers) of the earth lords that appear in that direction for the year.

The same procedure is used for months, days, and double hours. You need the animal for the particular month, day or hour. Then select the section for month, day or hour and proceed to note the list of earth lords for time period. If you find this too tedious, I have released a program that does this automatically for the PC. You can read about it at StarTypes.com, where you just follow the links to any of the programs and look up the one on Tibetan Astrology.
