Authors: Youla Azkarrula, Susanne M Hoffmann

In the early prehistory of Tibet, astronomy was used for basic purposes like that of the old grandmother’s. In order to know when to plant and harvest the crop, astrological markers, like the length of the day and the arrival of certain constellations in the sky, were consulted. [1]

Tibetan Name Romanisation English

Tibetan Lunar System(s)

Lunar Mansion

The star names documented in the table below draw from multiple sources. Johnson-Groh (2013) collected star names from the Tibetan community in Dharamsala, India, rather than from within Tibet itself. This compilation is polished by Lyu Haocheng and the IPA(s) are the consideration as the native spelling.

The Indian system traditionally identifies 27 nakshatras, with Abhijit sometimes included as the 28th or merged with Jyeṣṭhā. The Tibetan system follows this convention with variations.
