Though the rudiment for this system was present in Tibet during the pre-Buddhist era of Bon, it has been passed down only through Oral transmission. However, later during the time of gNam-ri-srong-btsan in the 6th century, the translation of elemental astrology from Chinese started and helped develop the same.

This is one of the systems used to make predictions regarding joys and sorrows that a human being experiences in one’s lifetime by using elemental laws of relations and methods. This doesn’t require any mathematical calculation as in astronomy. The elemental system is believed to have been taught by the lord Manjushri in China during 837 B.C.

The Kar Tsi approach to astrology is based upon the calculation of the signs, constellations, and planets and their inter-relationships. In the Kalacakra Tantra as a whole, the subject matter is usually divided into three Wheels, or phases, known as the External, Internal, and Alternative Wheels.

The External wheel is the External Cosmos, with the cycles of the planets, constellations, and stars, and this includes a system of both astronomy and astrology.

The Internal wheel is the internal Cosmos of chakras (wheels), channels and energies within the body, and their relation to the cycles of the External Cosmos.
