The contents itself is traditional, but the burmese tradition is not very

Burmese astrology is a mixture of chinese and indian astrologies, 12 zodiac

The Burmese tradition is a 8-dayweek and a complex fate calculation based
on 7-day cycle.
Here I want to show how far can travel the "western zodiac".
