Example: If Sunday is <strong>the</strong> first day of <strong>the</strong> month (as above), <strong>the</strong>n every Sunday<br />

in that month is very powerful, but if Sunday is friend or enemy (or o<strong>the</strong>rwise not very<br />

good), <strong>the</strong>n it dampens <strong>the</strong> best day of <strong>the</strong> month.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r, if <strong>the</strong> first day of <strong>the</strong> month falls on a Sunday, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> planet is sun,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> element fire. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> son of fire is earth, and earth is powerful for <strong>the</strong><br />

month. The mo<strong>the</strong>r of fire is wood, so wood is medium powerful that month. The friend<br />

of fire is iron, and <strong>the</strong> enemy of fire is water. Fire and water are bad for that month.<br />

Depending upon <strong>the</strong> animal sign for <strong>the</strong> year of one’s birth, three days of <strong>the</strong><br />

week will have special significance. According to John Reynolds in his 1978 Tibetan<br />

Astrological Calendar, “Days which are best and good are considered to be auspicious<br />

for undertaking projects, for doing business and similar activities; while days which are<br />

bad are considered inauspicious for any activity at all. In addition, birth on a good or<br />

best day indicates long life, while birth on a bad day portends an early death.” Using<br />

<strong>the</strong> animal sign for <strong>the</strong> year of one’s birth, enter <strong>the</strong> following table:<br />
