The Sixty-Year Cycle
The Tibetan calendar is based on a sixty-year cycle. It appeared along with a translation into Tibetan of the Kalachakra Tantra in 1027, the year of the Fire Hare.
The year 2025 of the Wood Snake is part of a cycle that began in 1987. Each year of the cycle is associated with one of the twelve Animals and one of the Five Elements. (If you multiply 12 by 5, you will get a 60-year cycle.)
To find your Animal and your Element go to the Chapter "How to identify your Animal and your Element".
