The Thousand-Year Calendar - the sophisticated one?
Dr. Michael Oon
This calendar is the backbone of the study of the time dimension of Feng Shui and Chinese Metaphysics. The document is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Each page is jam-packed with valuable information necessary to the serious practitioner.
We have the 60-year calendar described above. The thousand-year calendar has the elements for months, days, hours together with other related information on the LoShu movement against time.
For the month, there is the 60-month cycle. Likewise, there is a 60-day cycle. For the hour, there is a separate method to work out the combinations for the hour.
Let me go through a page in the thousand-year calendar.
