班固《天文志》曰:“月犯心,其國有憂,若有大喪。”《摘亡闢》曰:“六月辛酉,月犯心,亡君之戒也。”郗萌曰:“月犯明堂星,大人憂。”《海中占》曰:“月犯心中央星,人主惡之;犯其前星,太子惡之,及失位,犯其後星,庶子惡之;皆應以善事。”郗萌曰:“月行出心以南,在外大將易。一曰無兵。太子事。”陳卓曰:“月行宿心而霧,山崩谷塞,一曰水深。”

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says: When the moon invades the Heart Mansion, the country will have calamity or a great mourning. The three stars of the Heart Mansion, along with the stars of Di and Fang, belong to the territory of the State of Song. The central bright star is the heavenly king, the star before it is the crown prince, and the star after it is the younger son, also called the Bright Hall. "Zhai Wang Bi" says: On the sixth month Xinyou day, when the moon invades the Heart Mansion, this is a warning that the sovereign will perish. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the Bright Hall star, the person in the high position will have worry. "Hai Zhong Zhan" says: When the moon invades the central bright star of the Heart Mansion, the sovereign will dislike this omen; if it invades the star before it, the crown prince will have misfortune and lose his position; if it invades the star after it, the younger son will have misfortune; all these should be responded to with good governance to dispel the omen. Xi Meng says: When the moon moves south of the Heart Mansion, the general in the outer court will be replaced; another view is that there will be no military action, but rather matters concerning the crown prince. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion and a great fog arises in the sky, there will be mountain collapses and blocked valleys; another view is that there will be flooding as a disaster.

《石氏占》曰:“月乘心,其國相死;月北出,其國旱,宗廟有焚者;月南出,其將相有起兵。”《荊州占》曰:“月犯乘心,大人凶,天下大旱,萬民災傷,近期三年,遠九年。”《石氏占》曰:“月合心星,其君死。”又曰:“犯大星,主遇賊害,國人為亂。”又占曰:“月犯心大星,女執行;又曰太子不立。”郗萌曰:“月犯心星,臣弒君;又曰滅其君,三年有憂賊臣。”

The Shi school says: When the moon covers the Heart mansion, the country's prime minister will die; when the moon rises to the north, the country will suffer drought and the ancestral temples will be burned; when the moon rises to the south, generals and ministers will rise in rebellion. The Jingzhou divination says: When the moon invades and covers the Heart mansion, the person in high position will have misfortune, the whole country will suffer a great drought, and the people will be afflicted. The calamity will occur within three years or nine years. The Shi school also says: When the moon is in conjunction with the Heart mansion star, the king will die. It also says: When the moon invades the great star of the Heart mansion, the ruler will be harmed by thieves, and the people will rebel. Another divination says: When the moon invades the great star of the Heart mansion, a woman will hold power; it also says the crown prince will not be established. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the star of the Heart mansion, a minister will kill the king; it also says the king will be destroyed, and within three years there will be worry about treacherous ministers.

《海中占》曰:“月犯心,有亂臣,天下有亡國;蝕心,國內亂,有大賊。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯心,亂臣在旁伐國,期不出三年,其下有亡國;又民伐其主,應之以善事,已殃除。”《海中占》曰:“月犯心中央星,人主敗,國有賊,人為亂。”(按魏甘露二年六月己酉,月犯心中央大星,景元元年五月,高貴鄉公敗。)

The Sea in the Middle Divination says: When the moon invades the Heart Mansion, there will be rebellious ministers in the court and the country will suffer from the downfall of a state; when the moon obscures the Heart Mansion, there will be internal turmoil in the country and a great bandit will arise. The astrological text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the Heart Mansion, rebellious ministers will be in the vicinity of the ruler and will attack the state, and this will occur within three years, with the place corresponding to the position of the moon suffering from the downfall of a state; it also indicates that the people will rise up against their ruler, and if the ruler promotes good governance, the calamity can be eliminated. The Sea in the Middle Divination also says: When the moon invades the central star of the Heart Mansion, the ruler will perish, there will be bandits in the country, and someone will cause disorder. The original commentary notes: In the second year of Ganlu of the Cao Wei dynasty, in June, on the day of Jiyou, the moon invaded the central star of the Heart Mansion; in the first year of Jingyuan, in May, the high prince Cao Mao was defeated in battle and killed.

郗萌曰:“月貴心,其國亂,臣弒君。”《石氏占》曰:“月貴心,其國政亂。”《海中占》曰:“月貫心,其國亂,臣弒君。”《石氏占》曰:“月貴心,其國政亂。”《海中占》曰:“月貴心,一年國君死,不則臣伐主。”

Xi Meng said: The moon passes through the Heart Mansion—the original text "guì" is a homonym for "guàn," a similar character, same below—the country will be in turmoil, and a minister will kill the sovereign. The Shi school's divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the country will have disorder in its affairs. The Hai Zhong divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the country will be in turmoil, and a minister will kill the sovereign. The Shi school's divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the country will have disorder in its affairs. The Hai Zhong divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the sovereign will die within a year, otherwise it will be a case of ministers attacking the sovereign. The sources of these passages often repeat, and all are preserved as they were originally.

《黃帝占》曰:“月貫心星,三年國內亂。”(按漢孝成帝陽朔元年七月壬子,月犯心星。占曰:“其國憂,若有喪。房心為宋,今為楚地,十月辛未,楚王芳薨,積四月應。又按王莽地皇元年正月,月犯心前星,為太子。是歲後,莽殺,太子臨之。黃初四年十二月丙子,月犯心大星。占曰:“犯心國憂,若有喪。七年五月丁巳,文帝崩。積二年六月。魏景初二年閏九月癸丑。月犯心大星,占曰:月犯中央星,其國有憂。若有大喪。到三年十二月,明帝崩,積一年四月。)

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon passes through the stars of the Heart Mansion, there will be turmoil within the country within three years. The commentary from the original text says: In the first year of Yangshuo during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, in the seventh month on the day of Renzi, the moon invaded the star of the Heart Mansion. The divination text says that the country will have sorrow or mourning. The Room Mansion and the Heart Mansion originally belonged to the state of Song, but now belong to the state of Chu; in the tenth month on the day of Xinwei, the king of Chu died, and this was verified after four months. Further examination shows that in the first year of Dihuang during the reign of Wang Mang, in the first month, the moon invaded the star before the Heart Mansion, and the star before the Heart Mansion is associated with the crown prince; after that year, Wang Mang killed the crown prince Wang Lin. In the fourth year of Huangchu during the Wei dynasty, in the twelfth month on the day of Bingzi, the moon invaded the main star of the Heart Mansion. The divination text says that invading the main star of the Heart Mansion indicates the country will have sorrow or mourning; in the seventh year of Huangchu in May on the day of Dingsi, the emperor Wen of Wei died, and this was verified after two years and six months. In the second year of Jingchou during the Wei dynasty, in the leap ninth month on the day of Guichou, the moon invaded the main star of the Heart Mansion. The divination text says that invading the central main star indicates the country will have sorrow or a great mourning; by the twelfth month of Jingchou in the third year, the emperor Ming of Wei died, and this was verified after one year and four months.

The Moon invades the sixth position of the Tail.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯尾,君臣不和。”郗萌曰:“月犯尾,貴戚有誅者,其國有軍將死。”又曰:“在尾宿有變,後宮不安,妃后爭人君,子孫不吉,在宮中矣。”

The esoteric text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" from the Wei Shu says: When the moon invades the Tail Mansion, the ruler and ministers will not be in harmony. The Tail Mansion has nine stars and corresponds to the territory of Yan State, which is associated with Youzhou, and it governs the order of the imperial concubines. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the Tail Mansion, there will be a nobleman or a royal relative who is executed, and a general from that country will die. It also says: If there is an anomaly in the Tail Mansion, the palace will not be peaceful, the concubines and the empress will vie for the emperor's affection, the descendants will be inauspicious, and calamity will arise within the palace.

The Moon invades the constellation Ji and the seventh position.

石氏曰:“月干犯箕度,君臣不和。”《含文嘉》曰:“月至箕,則風揚。”《春秋緯考異郵》曰:“月失行,離於箕者,風。”《春秋緯潛潭巴》曰:“月入箕中,其國有憂。”《黃帝占》曰:“月入箕,糴大貴。”郗萌曰:“月入箕,天下大亂,有兵,國君死之;又曰必赦,月在箕,踵期三十日;在口,期六十日。”

Shi Shen said: When the moon intrudes upon the degree of Ji Xu, there will be discord between the sovereign and ministers. The four stars of Ji Xu and the stars of Wei Xu belong to Yan's territory, governing wind and speech. The Li Wei "Hwan Wen Jia" says: When the moon reaches Ji Xu, wind will rise. The Ch'un Chiu Wei "Kao Yi You" says: When the moon deviates from its normal path and adheres to Ji Xu, wind will arise. The Ch'un Chiu Wei "Qian Tan Ba" says: When the moon enters Ji Xu, the country will suffer calamity. The Huang Di Zhan says: When the moon enters Ji Xu, grain prices will rise sharply. Xi Meng said: When the moon enters Ji Xu, the whole country will be in chaos, there will be military affairs, and the sovereign will die because of it; also, there will certainly be an amnesty. When the moon is in the heel of Ji Xu—the narrow end of the箕 shape—it will be thirty days; when it is in the mouth of Ji Xu, it will be sixty days.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯箕,有客讒人者。”《海中占》曰:“月犯箕,女主有憂。”郗萌曰:“月犯箕,其國有軍將死。”(按魏嘉平五年六月十二日庚辰,月犯箕,占曰:“軍將死。”到正元元年正月乙丑,鎮東將軍母丘儉反,正月甲辰,斬儉,積一年九月。又按魏甘露元年八月七日辛亥,月犯箕東北星,占曰:“犯箕東北星,軍將死。”到二年五月,徵東大將軍諸葛誕謀叛不就,後殺揚州刺史樂[糹休],積十月。)

The apocryphal text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Ji Xiu, there will be foreign guests spreading slander. Ji Xiu is originally associated with speech and guests, so it is interpreted as slander. "The Sea Divination" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Ji Xiu, the female ruler will have worries. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the mansion of Ji Xiu, a country will lose a general in military service; Ji Xiu corresponds to the region of Yan, so the event will mostly occur in the areas of Youyan. The original commentary says: In the sixth month of the fifth year of Cao Wei's Jiaping era, on the twelfth day of the month, on Gengchen, the moon invaded the mansion of Ji Xiu, and the divination said that a general in the army would die. In the first year of Zhengyuan, on the first day of the first month, the Eastern General Guan Qiu Jian rebelled, and on the thirteenth day of the first month, Guan Qiu Jian was executed. The time span between these events was one year and nine months. Further examination of the first day of the eighth month in the first year of Wei Ganlu, on Xinhai, the moon invaded the star of Ji Xiu in the Northeast, and the divination said that invading the star of Ji Xiu in the Northeast would mean that a general in the army would die. In the second year of Ganlu, in May, the Eastern General Zhuge Dan plotted a rebellion but failed, later killing the governor of Yangzhou, Yue Chen. The time span between these events was ten months.

The moon invades the seven northern stars.

The moon invades the southern dipper star one.

郗萌曰:“月宿南斗風,一曰雨。”又曰:“月入南斗魁中,大人憂;一曰太子殃;又曰宮中有自賦者,期三十日。”《荊州占》曰:“月入南斗,兵起,有憂,不出三年。”京氏曰:“月以子丑申入南斗,後百八十二日赦,無餘囚。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is near the Southern Dipper, it indicates wind; another view says it indicates rain. The six stars of the Southern Dipper belong to the region of Wu and Yue, corresponding to Yangzhou, and indicate rank, honor, and longevity. Xi Meng also said: When the moon enters the Southern Dipper's 'Kui'—'Kui' refers to the four stars forming the body of the Dipper—the person in a high position will have worries; another view says the crown prince will suffer calamity; also, there will be someone in the palace who confesses his guilt, and the period will be thirty days. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon enters the Southern Dipper, military affairs will arise, there will be worries, and this will not exceed three years. Jing Fang said: When the moon enters the Southern Dipper on a Zi day, a Chou day, or a Shen day, there will be an amnesty issued within 182 days, and no prisoners will remain in jail.

陳卓曰:“月犯入南斗魁,天下大赦;一曰兵起。”(按晉成帝咸和六年正月丙辰,月入南斗,占曰:“有兵,一曰有大赦。”是月石勒殺掠婁武進二縣,於是遣戌中州;明年湖賊又掠南沙海虞民,是年正月大赦,伐淮南討襄陽,平之。又咸和八年三日己巳。月入南斗、與六年占同。其年七月,石勒死,彭彪以譙石生、以長安郭權、以泰州並歸順,於是遣督護喬球率眾救彪;彪敗球退。又石季龍、石斌功滅生權,咸康元年正月大赦。)

Chen Zhu said: When the moon enters the southern dipper, there will be a great amnesty throughout the country; another interpretation says there will be military action. The original commentary notes: In the first month of the sixth year of Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the year being Jia Chen, the moon entered the southern dipper, and the divination text said there would be military action, while another interpretation said there would be a great amnesty. In that month, Shi Le killed and plundered the counties of Lou and Wujin, and the court sent troops to garrison the central region. In the following year, bandits in the lake region raided the people of Nansha and Haiyu. In that year, in the first month, there was a great amnesty, and the army advanced to Huainan and attacked Xiangyang, which they eventually subdued. In the third month of the eighth year of the same era, the moon again entered the southern dipper, and the divination text was the same as in the sixth year. In that year, in the seventh month, Shi Le died. Peng Biao, along with Shi Sheng from Qiao and Guo Quan from Chang'an, together with Taizhou, surrendered to the court. The court then sent Qiao Qiu to lead troops to rescue Peng Biao. Peng Biao was defeated, and Qiao Qiu withdrew. Later, Shi Jilong and Shi Bin defeated Shi Sheng and Guo Quan. In the first month of the first year of Xiankang, there was a great amnesty.

《黃帝占》曰:“月以十月至四月南斗中,天下大赦,近期六十日,中期六月,遠期一年。”郗萌曰:“月一歲三入南斗口者,其歲有赦。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯南斗,大臣及將去。”《郗萌占》曰:“月犯南培魁,女主當之,不出三年。”《荊州占》曰:“月犯南斗,將軍死。”陳卓曰:“月犯南斗風,雨不時,大臣誅,不出三年。”郗萌曰:“月乘南斗,色惡蒼蒼,丞相死。”又占曰:“月變於南斗,亂臣有更天子之法令者。”《荊州占》曰:“月變於南斗,易相,近臣死。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Southern Dipper between the tenth month and the fourth month, there will be a great amnesty. The near occurrence will take sixty days, the middle occurrence six months, and the distant occurrence one year. Xi Meng says: When the moon enters the mouth of the Southern Dipper three times within a year, there will be an amnesty in that year. The esoteric book "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the Southern Dipper, ministers and generals will be displaced.

Xi Meng says: When the moon suppresses the Southern Dipper, the color is dark and bluish-green, and the chancellor will die. Another divination says: When the moon shows abnormality in the Southern Dipper, there will be a rebellious minister who changes the emperor's laws.

石氏曰:“月入昴中,胡王死。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯昴,天子破匈奴,不出五年,中若有白衣會。”《荊州占》曰:“月犯昂,以粟米為賤。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月行犯昴,北有赤白雲緣月,兵入匈奴,地有得;赤白雲不緣月,兵入無得,期不出三年。”《黃帝占》曰:“月乘昴,貴人有憂。”

Shi Shen said: When the moon enters the mansion of Maoshou, the king of the Hu people will die. The seven stars of Maoshou and the mansion of Bi are both associated with Zhao state's territory, corresponding to Ji州, also known as Maotou, which governs the Hu people and border troops. The apocryphal text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon invades Maoshou, the Son of Heaven will defeat the Xiongnu, and within five years, if there is a mourning ceremony in the Central Plains, it will happen. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When the moon invades Maoshou, it indicates that millet will be cheap. The "He Tu Di Lan Xi" also says: When the moon moves and invades Maoshou, there will be red and white clouds surrounding the moon in the north; if the army goes into the Xiongnu territory, it will gain something; if there are no red and white clouds surrounding the moon, the army will gain nothing, and the event will occur within three years. The "Huangdi Zhan" says: When the moon presses upon Maoshou, the nobleman will have worries.

郗萌曰:“月乘昴,天下用法峻,一曰水滿野,五穀不收。”又占曰:“月合昴,有赦。”又占曰:“月行觸昂,匈奴擾擾。”又曰:“月生於昂,天下有赦。”《黃帝占》曰:“月變於昂,兵在外食絕。”郗萌曰:“月變於昂,國有喪。”《石氏占》曰:“月蝕昴,貴臣誅,貴女失勢。”《海中占》曰:“月蝕昂諸候黜,門戶臣有事,天下飢。”石氏曰:“月出昴北,天下有福,一曰胡王死。”

Xi Meng said: The moon pressing upon the Hairy Head mansion indicates that the laws of the world will be severe; another interpretation says there will be great floods covering the fields and no harvest of the five grains. Another divination says: When the moon is in conjunction with the Hairy Head mansion, there will be an amnesty. Another says: When the moon touches the Hairy Head mansion, the Xiongnu will be restless and disturbed. It is also said: When the moon is born from the Hairy Head mansion, there will be an amnesty. The Yellow Emperor's divination says: When the moon shows an anomaly in the Hairy Head mansion, the army outside will run out of food. Xi Meng said: When the moon shows an anomaly in the Hairy Head mansion, there will be mourning within the country. The Shi school's divination says: When the moon covers the Hairy Head mansion, high-ranking ministers will be executed, and high-ranking women will lose their power. The Sea Divination says: When the moon covers the Hairy Head mansion, the princes will be deposed, the gatekeepers will have problems, and the whole world will suffer from famine.

郗萌曰:“月犯昴,其國有憂,將軍死;一曰胡不安。”(按魏正始元年四月二十七日戊午,月犯昴水頭第一星,其年十月庚寅、月犯昴北第四星。占曰:“月犯昴,胡不安,將軍死。”到二年六月,征西將軍趙[亻敢]上言,鮮卑大人阿炒兒等殺掠敦煌太守王延等。將兵斬首千一百級。冬十月,又討斬阿炒兒,唐首千級。三年正月,又斬鮮卑大師首六百級。討鮮卑斬首千餘級,八月丁巳,輕車將軍特進王忠薨,積三年四月應。)

Xi Meng said: When the moon invades the mansion of Maosou, the country will have troubles, and the general will die; another interpretation says that the Hu people will be restless. Maosou is also called Maotou, which is a star associated with the Hu, so all the examples given are related to border issues involving the Xianbei and Xiongnu. The original book's small note says: In the first year of Zhongshi of the Cao Wei dynasty, on the 27th day of the fourth month, Wuwu, the moon invaded the first star of Maosou Waterhead; in the same year, on the 17th day of the tenth month, Gengyin, the moon again invaded the fourth star to the north of Maosou. The divination text says that when the moon invades Maosou, the Hu people will be restless, and the general will die. In June of the second year, General Zhao Yan of the Western Expedition submitted a report saying that the Xianbei chieftain Achaoye and others killed and plundered Wang Yan, the governor of Dunhuang, and others, and the official army led an expedition, killing 1,100 enemies. In the winter of the same year, on the tenth month, they again went out to kill Achaoye, killing 1,000 enemies. In the first month of the third year, they again beheaded six hundred Xianbei commanders; in total, the campaign against the Xianbei resulted in over 1,000 enemy deaths. On the 4th day of the eighth month, General Wang Zhong, who held the rank of Light Chariot General and Special Advisor, died. This fulfilled the prophecy over three years and four months.

《詩》曰:“月離於畢,俾滂沱矣,謂大雨也。”《春秋緯考異郵》曰:“月失行,離於畢,則雨。”蔡氏《月令章句》曰:“月離者,所歷也。”班固《天文志》曰:“月入皆,則多雨。”郗萌曰:“月入畢,其國君大憂;又曰兵起,期一年,先起兵者有破亡;又曰與兩股齊,近期二十日,遠期六十日,有將死。”

The Book of Poetry, Xiao Ya, "Zhan Zhan Zhi Shi" says: "The moon is attached to Bi, causing torrents of rain." This refers to the moon being attached to Bi mansion, which will bring heavy rain. Bi mansion and Mao mansion are both associated with the state of Zhao, governing military affairs on the borders and hunting, as well as rain. The Spring Annals, Kao Yi You says: when the moon deviates from its normal course and is attached to Bi mansion, it will rain. Cai Yong of the Han dynasty, in his "Yue Ling Zhang Ju," says: the term "li" refers to the position the moon passes through. Ban Gu in the Han Shu, Tian Wen Zhi says: when the moon enters Bi mansion, there will be much rain (the original text "ruo jie" should be "ruo bi"). Xi Meng says: when the moon enters Bi mansion, the ruler will have great worries; also, military actions will arise, with an expected time of one year, and the side that initiates the military action will be defeated; also, when the moon and Bi mansion are level, the one closer will have an expected time of twenty days, and the one farther will have sixty days, and a general will die.

劉向《洪範傳》曰:“月入畢中,將若相有一家事坐罪革起;一曰有女喪;一曰女主當之。”(按魏太和四年二月丁未,月加午在畢大星三月蜀劉升為丞相。諸葛亮將五萬人入天水,攻將軍賈魏副車騎將軍舒等三萬餘人,討之,斬首三萬餘人,投降者萬餘人。七月乙酉,大赦,六年正月甲戌,皇女暴薨,上及群臣皆為之服。五月甲戌,皇太子殿下薨。十一月壬寅,吳越賊將周賀於東萊牟平之內恣殺掠,與青州刺史程喜戰,射殺周賀,斬首四千餘級,又生擒八千餘人。青龍元年八月已未,大赦。二年三月庚寅,故漢帝山陽公崩,以天子禮葬之,諡曰獻帝。積三年六月應也。)

Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Wu Xing Zhuan Lun" says: When the moon enters the Net Mansion, a general or prime minister will have a family member who will be dismissed from office due to a crime; another interpretation is that there will be a funeral for a woman; yet another is that the female ruler will bear this calamity. The original commentary notes: In the second year of Tahe in the Cao Wei dynasty, in February, on the day of Dingwei, the moon was positioned at the noon position and directly faced the great star of the Net Mansion - "moon at noon" means the moon was at the position of noon; in March, Liu Sheng became the prime minister of Shu Han. Zhuge Liang led five thousand soldiers into Tian Shui, attacking General Jia Wei and Deputy Chief General Shu, and three other generals with over thirty thousand troops. The official army defeated them, killing over thirty thousand and capturing over ten thousand. In July, on the day of Yiyou, a general amnesty was declared. In the sixth year, in January, on the day of Jiaxu, the imperial daughter died suddenly, and the emperor and ministers mourned her. In May, on the day of Jiaxu, the crown prince died. In November, on the day of Renyin, the traitorous general Zhou He of Wu killed and looted in the territory of Moupingshan County, Donglai Prefecture, fought against the governor of Qingzhou, Cheng Xi, and was shot dead, with over four thousand heads cut off and eight thousand captured alive. On August of the first year of Qinglong, a general amnesty was declared. In March of the second year, on the day of Gengyin, the former emperor of Han, the mountain yang gong, died - he was the last emperor of Han who abdicated the throne to Cao Pi - the court buried him with the rites of a sovereign, with the posthumous title of Xian Emperor. All these events took three and a half years to come to pass.

Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" said: When the moon invades the Net mansion, there will be changes in the laws and regulations of the country.

《黃帝占》曰:“月犯畢,出其北,陰國有憂。”《海中占》曰:“月犯畢,南陽國有憂,一曰賊臣誅,不然邊有兵。”郗萌曰:“月行犯畢赤星,臣弒主;一曰乘畢赤星,將死。”又占曰:“月犯蝕畢,有小疾。”又曰:“合畢,天有下赦,合其陰,水;合其陽,風;又曰:月變於畢,邊境有事。”《黃帝占》曰:“月蝕畢,使邊者凶。”《郗萌占》曰:“月蝕畢,諸侯相謀。”又曰:“月入畢中而暈,人主生;一曰人主伐。”又占曰:“月入畢而聖人生;一曰人主伐。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon covers the star in the Net mansion, the star is within the moon's disk, and this will not occur in the same year; the female ruler will bear this calamity. The *Shi School Divination* says: When the moon covers the star in the Net mansion, the star is within the moon's disk, and this will not occur in the same year; the female ruler will bear this calamity. This passage is repeated verbatim, and both versions are preserved. The *Shi School Divination* also says: When the moon covers the star in the Net mansion, it indicates there will be earth and wood construction activities; another interpretation is that the female ruler will have sorrow, and high officials will be imprisoned; yet another interpretation is that warfare will arise throughout the land, which is called "the country of petty people." Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the浊 mansion and a great fog arises, the king's envoys will die in the territory of the feudal lords (the word "says" at the end is possibly a later addition); another interpretation is that envoys sent by the feudal lords will die on the way, "dying on the road" meaning dying on the journey. (Original note: "Zhu" is another name for the Net mansion.) The *Chen Zhuo Divination* says: When the moon invades the star of the attached ear, warfare will arise, or there will be mourning and sorrow for ministers and generals, otherwise officials will be dismissed from office.

Xi Meng said: When the moon is near the Three Stars mansion or near the star Fa below it, there will be wind, rain, and storms. The Seven Stars of the Three Stars mansion and the stars Zi and Wei belong to the territory of Wei, and they indicate military commanders and warfare. The book of纬书 "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the Three Stars mansion and the star Fa, there will be military conflicts and struggles over fortresses. The book "Sea Divination" says: When the moon invades the Three Stars mansion, the country will have troubles; it also says that there will be military conflicts within the country.

Xi Meng said: When the moon invades the right thigh star, the general will die; when it invades the red star, the commander will be executed. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades and covers the right thigh star of the Three Stars mansion—there is a missing text here, and the divination text is incomplete—the text continues with a passage from "Five Middle Divination": When the moon obscures the Three Stars mansion and the star Fa, there will be great military conflicts.

《郗萌占》曰:“月宿東井,雨;不雨則風。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月入東井,諸侯貴人多死。”《荊州占》曰:“月入東井,有兵。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯入東井中,其國君有憂。”《黃帝占》曰:“月犯東井,有水事,若水令。”

The Xi Meng divination text says: When the moon is near the eastern well mansion, it indicates rain; if there is no rain, there will be wind. The eight stars of the eastern well mansion and the ghost mansion belong to the territory of the state of Qin, corresponding to the state of Yongzhou, and they presage water-related events and legal matters. The apocryphal book "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon enters the eastern well mansion, many nobles and high officials will die. The Jingzhou divination text says: When the moon enters the eastern well mansion, there will be military affairs. The "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" also says: When the moon invades and enters the eastern well mansion, the ruler will have worries. The Huangdi divination text says: When the moon invades the eastern well mansion, there will be water-related events, or the government will issue policies related to water management.

《郗萌占》曰:“月犯東井,軍將死。”(按魏青龍三年十一月己丑,月犯東井轅西第一星。占曰:“月犯東井,將死;一曰:國內有憂;一曰:有水令。”到十二月己卯,右將軍朱益薨。四年十二月癸巳,司空穎陰侯群薨。又景初元年九月壬申,詔曰:“今年雨過差,翼兗徐豫四州特劇。遇水溺沒死者,所在開倉救濟。”瘐辰,皇后毛氏崩。積二年十一月應。正始五年十一月壬申,月犯東井距星。六月癸酉,月犯東井南轅西頭第二星。占曰:“月犯東井,將死。”到七年十一月庚子,鎮北將軍呂昭薨。積二年,魏嘉平三年四月戌寅,月犯東井南轅西頭第二星,占曰:“月犯東北井,將死,一曰:有憂。”到七月壬戌,甄皇后崩,太尉王陵誅,積四年。)

The "Ximeng Divination" says: When the moon invades the East Well, the general will die. The East Well has eight stars arranged in two yuans, north and south, each with four stars, so the following text refers to the position by "the first star of the western head of the southern yuans"; the "distance star" is the standard star used to calculate the degree of a mansion. The original commentary says: In the third year of Cao Wei's Qinglong, November Jichou, the moon invaded the first star of the western head of the southern yuan of the East Well. The divination says that when the moon invades the East Well, the general will die; another interpretation says there will be domestic worries; another says there will be policies related to water. In December Jichou, General Zhu Yi died. In December of the fourth year, Gui Si, Cao Shu, the Grand Minister of the County of Yingyin, died. In the first year of Jingchou, September Ren Shen, an edict was issued saying: This year has had excessive rain, especially in the four states of Ji, Yan, Xu, and Yu (the original text says "Yi" but should be "Ji"), which have been flooded, with many people drowned. In Geng Chen (the original text says "Yu Chen"), the Empress Ma died. The prophecy was fulfilled after two years and eleven months. In the fifth year of Zhengshi, November Ren Shen, the moon invaded the distance star of the East Well. In June Gui You, the moon invaded the second star of the western head of the southern yuans of the East Well. The divination says that when the moon invades the East Well, the general will die. In November of the seventh year, General Lü Zhao, the Commander of the Northern Army, died. The prophecy was fulfilled after two years. In the third year of Wei Jiaping, April Wuyin, the moon invaded the second star of the western head of the southern yuans of the East Well. The divination says that when the moon invades the East Well, the general will die; another interpretation says there will be calamity. In July Ren Xu, the Princess Zhen died, and Grand Minister Wang Ling (the original text says "Wang Ling") was executed. The prophecy was fulfilled after four years.

《黃帝占》曰:“月蝕東井,大臣有謀,皇后不安,五穀不登。”《陳卓》曰:“月行宿東井而霧,有水患。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯鉞,大臣誅。”郗萌曰:“月中犯乘鉞,兵起,斧鉞用。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon covers the Well mansion, ministers will have secret plots, the empress will not rest in peace, and there will be a poor harvest of grain. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the Well mansion and a great fog arises in the sky, there will be floods. The esoteric text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the钺 star—the钺 star is located before the Well mansion, indicating execution and punishment—ministers will be executed. Xi Meng says: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades or presses upon the钺 star, military actions will arise, and the use of axes and halberds for punishment will be enacted.

又曰:“月中犯乘鉞,若蝕鉞,為內亂。”(按魏正始四年十月七日十一月十四日,月犯乘守鉞,兵起。一曰斧鉞用,是月太傅舞陽侯上言:吳將諸葛恪屯據。遣眾軍討恪,恪棄城奔走。投水死者萬計。到五年三月己卯,大將曹爽率眾軍徵蜀,積六月應。又按魏嘉平五年,月暈犯鉞,兵起,一曰光祿夫夫張緝皆誅,九月車騎將軍郭準上言,姜維等攻隴西,斬首萬餘人,積十月應。)

Xi Meng also said: When the moon is in the middle and invades, presses upon, or stays on the钺 star, it indicates internal disorder. The original commentary states: In the fourth year of Cao Wei's Zhengshi period, on the seventh day of the tenth month and the fourteenth day of the eleventh month, the moon invaded, pressed upon, and remained on the钺 star, indicating military actions would arise. Another interpretation is that the use of斧钺 punishment would be enacted. In that month, the Grand Tutor and Duke of Wuyang, Sima Yi, submitted a memorial stating that the Wu general Zhuge Ke had stationed his troops to hold the position. The court dispatched various armies to attack Zhuge Ke, who abandoned the city and fled, drowning tens of thousands. In the third month of the fifth year, the Grand General Cao Shuang led the armies to attack Shu Han, and the events were verified after six months. Further examination of the fifth year of Jiaping in the Wei dynasty, when the moon's halo invaded the钺 star, indicated military actions would arise. Another interpretation is that the officials such as Zhang Ji were all executed. In September, the Marquess of Chiqi, Guo Huai, submitted a memorial stating that Jiang Wei and others attacked Longxi, and the official army killed over ten thousand enemy soldiers. The events were verified after ten months.

The Moon is in conflict with the Ghost and the Second.

《郗萌占》曰:“月犯輿鬼,有軍將死。”陳卓曰:“月行宿輿鬼而霧,軍戰,主人敗。”又占曰:“月犯乘天尸,亂臣在內。”郗萌曰:“月有入輿鬼者,皆為財寶出。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰:“月犯鬼,大臣有誅;一曰國有憂。”陳卓曰:“月犯鬼天尸,國君有憂,大亂,大臣誅。”

The book "Xi Meng's Divination" says: When the moon enters the Ghost Mansion, there will be the death of a general leading troops. The four stars of the Ghost Mansion and the Well Mansion belong to the territory of the state of Qin, governing rituals and funerals. The white light in the center is called "Ji Shi," also known as the Heavenly Corpse. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the Ghost Mansion and a great fog arises, two armies will fight, and the main side will suffer defeat. Another divination says: When the moon invades and presses upon the Heavenly Corpse, there will be internal disorder among the ministers. Xi Meng says: Whenever the moon enters the Ghost Mansion, it indicates that wealth will be dispersed. The esoteric text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon invades the Ghost Mansion, there will be ministers who will be executed; another interpretation says the country will face calamity. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon invades the Heavenly Corpse of the Ghost Mansion, the sovereign will be in distress, the whole country will be in chaos, and ministers will be executed.

又曰:“月入輿鬼乘質者,君貴人憂,金玉用,人民多病;從南入為男,從北入為女,從西入為老,棺木倍貴。”(按魏青龍二年二月辛卯,月犯輿鬼中央星,其年十二月甲子,復犯,輿鬼為天鑕,主斬殺。占曰:“民多病,大臣憂,又曰:國有憂。”三年正月辛巳,自冬涉春,節氣不和,因下詔曰:“連年疫疾,雕傷人民。”二月丁巳,文德皇后崩。四年五月乙卯,司徒樂平侯董昭薨。三年三月應。魏正始二年九月癸酉,月犯鬼西北星,主金玉。三年二月丁未,月犯鬼西南星,主布帛。占曰:“大臣憂,一曰:有錢金到。”八月丁巳,輕車將特進王忠薨。至四年甲子,上加服元,賜諸侯王公公卿校將軍以下錢各有差,一年五月應。又魏嘉平二年十月丙申,月犯鬼距星。五年三月一日,月犯鬼距星,如占。六年七月甄皇后崩,太尉王凌楚王彪有謀,妻子五歲以下皆誅,積十月應。)陳卓曰:“月蝕輿鬼,貴臣皇后有憂,天下不安,近期一年,遠期三年。”

Chen Zhuo also said: When the moon enters the Ghost Mansion and covers the central star within it (i.e., the accumulated corpse qi), the sovereign and nobleman will have worries, and gold and jade will be used, with many people suffering from illness; if the moon enters from the south, it indicates a man, from the north a woman, from the west an old person, and the price of coffins will double. The original commentary says: In the second year of Qinglong of the Cao Wei dynasty, the second month, on the day of Xinmao, the moon invaded the central star of the Ghost Mansion. That year, in the twelfth month on the day of Jiazi, it invaded again. The Ghost Mansion is the heavenly chopping block, which governs execution. The divination says that the people will suffer from illness, the ministers will have worries, and the state will have worries. In the third year, the first month on the day of Xinsi, from winter to the Spring Festival, the qi was unbalanced, so an edict was issued saying: Continuous plague, the people were greatly affected. In the second month on the day of Dingsi, the Empress Wen De died. In the fourth year, the fifth month on the day of Yimao, the Minister of State Luo Ping Marquis Dong Zhao died. The total time spanned three years and three months, which was verified. In the second year of Zhengshi of the Wei dynasty, the ninth month on the day of Guiyou, the moon invaded the northwest star of the Ghost Mansion, which governs gold and jade. In the third year, the second month on the day of Dingwei, the moon invaded the southwest star of the Ghost Mansion, which governs silk and cloth. The divination says that ministers will have worries, and another says that wealth and silk will arrive. In the eighth month on the day of Dingsi, the light chariot general and special advisor Wang Zhong died. By the fourth year of Zhengshi on the day of Jiazi, the emperor held the ceremony of the coming of age, and bestowed money to the marquises, dukes, ministers, and generals, with varying degrees. The total time spanned one year and five months, which was verified. Again, in the second year of Jiaping of the Wei dynasty, the tenth month on the day of Bingshen, the moon invaded the distant star of the Ghost Mansion; in the third year, the third month on the day of Dingsi, the moon invaded the distant star of the Ghost Mansion again, both verifying exactly as the divination said. In the sixth year, the seventh month, the Queen Mother Zhen died, and the Grand Minister Wang Ling conspired with Prince Chu Gao Biao, and even the children under five years old were executed. The total time spanned ten months, which was verified. Chen Zhuo said: When the moon covers the Ghost Mansion, the powerful ministers and empresses will have worries, and the country will be in turmoil. The near time is one year, the distant time is three years.
