❖ THE FULL NAMKHA CALCULATOR
the upcoming program to reveal
the full capacity of the method
The first look at the interface – how a calculation chart can look. 2022 explorations
⟐ What is this program?
The Full Namkha Calculator will be a free online software to calculate four types of Namkhas.
🌈 The calculation methods for all four types of Namkhas were first published at the end of 2022.
The developing program will use these methods for calculations
The Full Namkha Calculator will be based on the final
edition of “Namkha” book by C.N.Norbu.
The book provided refined and full calculation methods
for all four types of Namkhas for the first time.
⟐ Why practitioners need it?
The reason to create this program is my healing and transformation. I could reach it only getting myself all 4 types of personal Namkhas. The default option of having just one Namkha calculated for the year of birth was extremely insufficient.
That’s why I spent 2 years vacuuming every bit of information about Namkhas and their potential in Chogyal Namkhai Norbu texts. And reaching every Tibetan astrologist in access to understand how to calculate every other – more impactful types – properly.
And, of course, I also communicated directly with The Shang Shung Institute established by C.N.Norbu – we had meet-ups where we discussed what is correct and what is not.
This is why and for what purpose I’m on the way to provide this initiative for the community and those who are deeply interested. This program will change many lives. And I have both required expertise and reason to overcome all problems on the way to release it.
⟐ But what about Namkha.info?
This is the precious initiative from Russian practitioners and developers – I made my first Namkha with this program!
But there are no analogues to the Full Namkha Calculator at this moment.
– https://namkha.info/en/ calculates only Year Namkhas – easiest to calculate, but least astrologically effective and important type of a personal Namkha. 
Whereas everyone can and need to benefit from more astrologically powerful and important types Namkhas.
⟐ Where and how it's started?
We’ve started development in 2022 – and continue development right now.
The development, as it turned out, takes a lot, a lot and a lot of time – much more that we expected initially. This is a big harmonizing project related to Dharma so we experience obstacles constantly – but we gradually find the ways to overcome them.
E.g. we’ve started developing the program in Russia – me and my husband Simon Weiss, a former software engineer. We began the development right after Russia started the war, so we had our hard time leaving the country and reaching safe territory.
Not to mention that the very type of the task is very specific and finding specialists who can advise us is a separate quest. But we’re moving forward – every 3-4 months we have something to show – a little or more considerable progress.

⟐ What is the current status of development?
We didn’t find an astronomer, but we found an astrologer who consulted us on questions we had.
The part of the code responsible for defining any Tibetan year of birth is done – now we have converter from any Western date to correspondent Tibetan year of birth.
But we have new issue – one of the toughest in the development. We need to define how to calculate Tibetan day and Tibetan nights in high latitudes, where there are long polar nights and polar days. Somewhere in Svalbard there’s no usual cycles of sunsets and sunrises for long periods of time, and these cycles are crucial for calculating new types of Namkhas. We need to do some approximation that will allow to get calculations for people born is high latitudes.
The astrologer recommended us to research sources related to Vedic Astrology, so this is what we’re going to do in nearest future.
We’re looking for an astrologer who’d give us advice on astronomical calculations. If you know how to help, please contact us. Thank you!
One more software engineer joined our team and now advises us how to continue the development. In total there are 3 developers in our team now – we finally have enough of specialists to enter the main stage of development.
Right now Namkha Encyclopedia experiences crisis – details are here – but we plan to be fully operational in February 2025.
Our next step is to provide calculation for Year Namkhas – with consideration of place of birth and gender. We’ll do it for Northern hemisphere first – and then develop it for Southern hemisphere as well.
The calculation of Year Namkhas – for the first time with consideration of the gender – is done. 
Namkha.info doesn’t consider the gender of a person and many of you have Namkhas for the wrong gender. The Full Namkha Calculator solves this issue.
But we have other issues to solve. Our code doesn’t work for Southern hemisphere at the moment 🙁
- The program provides maximum accuracy and considers your place of birth. Since the Losar begins everywhere in the world in its own time due to different time zones, 2 hours difference in the Losar day may mean that you were born in previous Tibetan year – or already born in new one. Which affects your astrological condition directly.
- The code of the program works perfectly for Northern hemisphere, and doesn’t work for Southern hemisphere at all. We don’t know why – and in February 2025 the latest we will return to this issue. If you know how to help – please contact us.

⟐ Translation to other languages
Translating to other languages would complicate development immensely. We’d be happy to create the program in other languages as well, but in this case, we would never be able to release it.
The program will be available in English—this is the compromise to make it available sooner. Thank you for your understanding!
⟐ Support the project
We work on the Calculator in our free time. Donations will help us release the program faster, as we’ll be able to dedicate more time to it.
Donations of any amount are appreciated. A donation of 5-10 USD will make a huge difference.
Thank you!
