The day, read by the moon.

The lunar calendar studied in datsans for centuries, as a daily app — computed by the classical Pugpa school of Tibetan astronomy, not Western horoscope filler.

The almanac recommends

  • Making offerings and reciting
  • Beginning study or long work
  • Meeting elders and teachers

It counter-recommends

  • Cutting hair on this day
  • Moving house or setting out far
  • Quarrels and settling debts

Illustrative values. In the app the reading is computed for your date and place, with the haircut guidance the tradition actually gives for each lunar day.
