Parkha Trigrams in Tibetan Astrology
Explore the eight Parkha trigrams, their directional associations, elemental meanings, and how they shape your personal lucky direction and daily energy in Tibetan astrology.
Understanding the Parkha System
Parkha refers to the eight trigrams used in Tibetan astrology: Li representing East, Khon representing South, Dwa representing West, Khen representing North, Kham representing South-East, Gin representing South-West, Zin representing North-East, and Zon representing North-West. Each Parkha symbol consists of three lines, either broken or unbroken, arranged in a configuration that encodes information about elemental association, direction, and energetic quality.
The Parkha system is related to the Chinese Bagua but has developed its own unique interpretations within the Tibetan tradition. Your personal Parkha is calculated from your birth year and Mewa number and represents an energetic orientation that influences how you interact with your environment.
Parkha in Daily Practice
Your Parkha direction is considered your lucky direction. When the daily Parkha on the Tibetan calendar aligns with your personal Parkha, it is considered an especially favorable time for activities connected to that direction. The Lucky Color Calculator on this site determines both your Parkha direction and associated lucky colors.
In daily life, you can use Parkha knowledge to orient your workspace, choose travel directions, and plan important activities. The relationship between your personal Parkha and the daily Parkha adds a directional dimension to Tibetan calendar guidance that goes beyond the Mewa and element systems.
