Protective Talisman Chart (Tibetan: sid pa ho).

A Tibetan astrological chart is an instructional tool and an auspicious talisman that brings good fortune. The central figure is a yellow tortoise, emanation of Manjushri, lying on its back with various diagrams drawn on the flat stomach of the shell. The head is at the top and four limbs protrude from the circle of the body each holding a stick with an impaled corpse. The figure is surrounded by the flames of wisdom and is placed above a pond of blue water. The innermost circle has 9 squares in various colours which contain the 9 magic numbers (Tib.: me wa gu). The middle circle is composed of the 8 trigrams (Tib.: par kha ge) of Chinese origin displayed on a blue wheel atop an orange background. The outer circle is divided into 12 lotus petals and supports the 12 animals of the 60 Year Cycle. The symbols for the five elements are found along the sides.

At the top center is the bodhisattva Manjushri, orange in colour, seated on a lotus, with one face and two hands holding a flaming sword of wisdom in the right and the stem of a lotus at the heart with the left. On the right sits the bodhisattva Vajrapani, blue in colour. On the left sit Avalokiteshvara, white in colour.

Below the central tortoise are two smaller circles containing auspicious protection mantras written with gold lettering. Between these are the symbols of the eight planets; Sun, Moon, Mars (eye), Mercury (hand), Jupiter (kila), Venus (stick), Saturn (sheaf), Rahu (bird head). The first 7 also represent the days of the week.

At the top left is the stylized mantra of Kalachakra, the ten power letters (Tib.: nam chu wang den). At the right the 9 magic numbers are repeated. Vertically along both sides are numerous auspicious letters and symbols in various colours for balancing and subjugating inauspicious circumstances. Along the bottom on a red background, written in gold Tibetan lettering is further explanation of the various symbols.

Protective Talisman Chart (Tibetan: sid pa ho).

Centrally located, containing a large circle is a yellow tortoise, emanation of the bodhisattva Manjushri, with the head pointed upward and the four limbs extended at the sides. In the center of the flat belly is a small circle of nine variously coloured squares containing the 9 magic numbers (Tib.: me wa gu). Surrounding that, on a dark blue background are the 8 trigrams (Tib.: par kha ge) of Chinese origin. The outer circle in various colours, representing the elements, contains the 12 animal figures of the 60 Year Cycle.

Below, two smaller circles contain protection wheels. The circle on the left is also on the belly of a tortoise. Both contain mantras and verses to bring about good fortune.

At the top center is the Buddha Amitabha, red in colour, with the hands folded in the gesture of meditation. At the left is the bodhisattva Green Tara. At the right corner is the combined mantra of Kalachakra, the ten power letters (Tib.: nam chu wang den).

Along the sides, written vertically, are the protection seals for the 12 year cycle, the 'Earth Lords and Ministers,' and the seals of protection against nagas, 'nyen,' earth lords and the seal of the 'sid pa ho' astrological chart. At the bottom, on a yellow background, auspicious verses and protection mantras are written with black lettering. The Tibetan system of astrology derives from two main sources: the early Manjushri system and the later Kalachakra Tantra system.

Protective Talisman, (Tibetan: sid pa ho).

At the top center is Manjushri, orange in colour, with one face and two hands holding an upraised sword in the right and a lotus stem to the heart with the left, the blossom supporting the Prajnaparamita book. Manjushri, the patron bodhisattva of astrology is seated on a lotus in vajra posture surrounded by a blue and orange nimbus.

The central image is a yellow tortoise lying on the back with the head to the top and the four limbs extended holding staves with impaled corpses. At the center of the round flat belly is a circle of nine multi-coloured squares containing the 9 magic numbers (Tib.: mewa gu). Surrounding that, on a dark blue wheel and brown background are the 8 trigrams (Tib.: parkha ge) of Chinese origin, each in a different colour. The outer circle of various colours represents the elements; wood, fire, iron, water and earth. Pictured within are the 12 animal figures of the 60 Year cycle. Starting from the top green square on the left and moving to the right is a hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, bird, dog, boar, mouse, ox and tiger. Outside of that, the tortoise, an emanation of Manjushri, is completely surrounded by flames.

Below the central figure are two smaller mandala circles of auspicious verses containing dark blue protection wheels with mantras in the center. The left circle is also on the belly of a tortoise and contains the 8 trigrams. Between the two are the symbols of the planets - also representing the days of the week; sun, moon, eye, hand, kila, arrowhead, sheaf and bird head.

At the top left is the Kalachakra mantra, the ten power letters (Tib.: nam chu wang den). Below that, are the protective seals for the 12 Year cycle and the 'Earth Lords and Ministers.' At the top right corner is the seal of Padmasambhava as a set of multi-coloured squares with auspicious verses and mantras. Below that are the seals of protection against nagas, 'nyen,' earth lords and the seal of the 'sid pa ho' astrological chart. At the bottom of the painting, on a yellow background, are lists of the various planetary and elemental influences that are controlled by these auspicious symbols. The list is concluded with the mantra of 'Dependant Arising.'

The Tibetan system of astrology derives from two main sources, the early Manjushri system and the later Kalachakra Tantra system.
