Built around the Phugpa calculation tradition
Norbu’s lunar calendar follows the Phugpa system associated with Kalachakra astronomy. Lunar and solar days do not always align one-to-one, so a lunar day may repeat or be omitted. The app makes these cycles readable while preserving their traditional structure.

FAQ
Common questions
Clear answers about the calendar and responsible use of its guidance.
Is Norbu a prediction of the future?+
No. Norbu presents traditional calendar interpretations as reflective guidance. Important decisions should always include your real circumstances and professional advice where relevant.
Why can a lunar day repeat or disappear?+
In the Phugpa system lunar days are mapped to solar days. Because the cycles have different lengths, some lunar dates repeat and others are omitted.
