Thank you, Tenzin! Very interesting!! We do love our prayer flags. Already they are fraying in the wind. Fran

Found your blog randomly, enjoyed the post. I’m pretty literate in Tibetan and lunar astrology myself, I think Rigdzin was near the mark, but mistakenly labelled you a Sheep when he meant Rabbit (eastern Astrology animals are grouped by three…The Pig, Sheep and Rabbit are all very similar). Translating from English to Tibetan and back into English in one’s head can be difficult :).

By my reading you are born on the cusp between the Rabbit and Dragon year, and although according to Chinese astrology you are a Dragon, the Tibetan lunar calendar sometimes falls on a different date, likely setting you in the Rabbit year according to a Tibetan reading.

Either way, you’re a ‘cusp baby’ as they call it, so it makes sense you identify a bit as a Dragon, along with Rabbit like qualities :).

Enjoy those prayer flags!

Hi Alice, Thanks for reading my blog and commenting! According to the Tibetan calendar checked by Rigdzen, February 9, 1952 is the year of the sheep. According to Rigdzen’s calendar, New Year’s Day, the year of the Dragon, officially began on February 15, 1952. However, Rick, determined to be the Dragon he has always thought himself to be, searched the internet and found a calendar that said he is a Dragon. Who is accurate? I am not sure? At any rate, Dragon or Sheep, you have a big birthday coming up! Happy 60th to you! Fran
