Question asked by Paulo Sérgio
Dear Pastor Niral, thank you for researching Arya Tara's mantras for me. I feel safe practicing now, because you and the other pastors of Kechara always write great things, and I love coming here to read.
Let me ask you another kindness: I would like you to send me the words "Leo" and "Scorpio" in Tibetan. These are my solar and lunar sign according to the western horoscope, and I want to make a themed tattoo, however written in Tibetan, which is a beautiful language. Thank you in advance for the amorousness with which you always answer my requests. Tashi Delek!
Dear Paulo Sergio,
It is good to see you back here. I am glad that the mantras provided were helpful.
In regards to the zodiac signs, the majority of Tibetan astrology actually uses animal signs classified like the Chinese Zodic, so there are no equivalents to Scorpio and Leo. However, there are section of Tibetan astrology that use Vedic (Indian) astrology which has elements borrowed from the Mesopotamian/Greek astrology (on which Western astrology is based). You can read more about this here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/tibetan-astrology/introduction-to-tibetan-astrology.html
Using this side of Tibetan astrology, I have found the corresponding words in Tibetan:
Scorpio in Tibetan: སྡིག་པ་
The word is pronounced as “Digpa” and literally means “Scorpion”. However, just to let you know it also have another meaning, which is wrong action or negative action. You may need to explain this, if people ask you why you have such a word if you decide to get a tattoo.
Leo in Tibetan: སེང་གེ་
The word is pronounced as “sengge” and literally means “lion” if translating the meaning.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
