When the moon is eclipsed, its color changes, indicating a change of six.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕青色，人民多死者，五穀有傷，糴且大貴，望之下賤，皆不出一年，各為其國災；月蝕赤色者，君為客，不出其年；蝕黃色者，不出其年，有立諸侯為國者；月蝕白色，其國失地，若有喪。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When a lunar eclipse occurs and the moon appears red, it indicates that the ruler will leave the country and reside elsewhere, and this will happen within the same year. When a lunar eclipse occurs and the moon appears yellow, it indicates that within the same year there will be someone appointed as a feudal lord and establishing a new state. When a lunar eclipse occurs and the moon appears white, it indicates that the country will lose territory or there will be mourning events.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕盡者，糴貴，各為國。月已蝕而青者，為憂；月已蝕而赤者，為兵；月已蝕而黃者，為財；月已蝕而白者，為喪；月已蝕而黑者，為水。”（蕭子顯《齊書》曰：“永泰元年正月乙亥，月蝕，色赤如血，二日而大司馬王敬則舉兵反。）

The book "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the moon is completely eclipsed, it indicates that grain prices will rise sharply, and each region will correspond to a particular country. If after the moon is eclipsed and regains its round shape, the moon appears bluish, there will be calamities; if it appears red, there will be military conflicts; if it appears yellow, there will be benefits from wealth; if it appears white, there will be funerals; if it appears black, there will be floods. (A note from the original text cites Xiao Zixian's "Southern Qi Book": In the first month of Yongta year of Emperor Ming of the Southern Qi dynasty, on the day of Yihai, there was a lunar eclipse, and the moon turned red like blood. Two days later, the Grand Marshal Wang Jingze rebelled.)

京房《易飛候》曰：“月暈蝕殃祥；得其日者吉，得其時者凶。”石氏曰：“月蝕而暈，其國君主惡之。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈而蝕，人相食。”石氏曰：“月斗薄而蝕，有軍必戰，無兵兵起。”石氏曰：“兩月並蝕，天下大亂。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Fei Hou" says: The calamities and blessings indicated by a lunar halo or lunar eclipse depend on the time they occur. If they appear on the proper day, it is auspicious; if they only occur at the proper time, it is inauspicious. The Shi school says: When a lunar eclipse occurs and a halo appears, it indicates that the ruler of the corresponding region will encounter misfortune. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: When the moon first appears as a halo and then wanes and is eclipsed, it indicates a great famine where people eat each other. The Shi school says: When two moons confront each other, their light is dim and they are eclipsed, it indicates that those who already have armies will definitely fight, and even those without military affairs will start wars. ("Dòu yuè" refers to an unusual phenomenon where two moons appear close to each other.) The Shi school says: When two moons are both eclipsed, it indicates great chaos throughout the world.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕，有氣從外來，入月中，主人凶，氣從中出，客凶，氣南行，南軍凶；北東西者亦然。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* states: When an eclipse of the moon occurs, if clouds come from outside and enter the moon's body, it indicates disaster for the defending side. If clouds emerge from within the moon and spread outward, it indicates disaster for the attacking force from a distant place. If the clouds move southward, it indicates disaster for the army in the southern direction. Similarly, if the clouds move northward, eastward, or westward, the respective armies in those directions will suffer misfortune.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“軍在外，一月而再蝕，將還兵其國，戰不勝。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" states: When the army is stationed abroad, and two lunar eclipses occur within a single month, it indicates that the general should return home, and the battle will not be victorious. (Having two lunar eclipses in one month is not a common occurrence, and ancient people regarded it as an extremely ominous omen.)

石氏曰：“月生三日而蝕盡，是謂大殃，國有喪。”甘氏曰：“月生十日至十四日而蝕，天下兵起。”（如望在十四，依垣占。）石氏曰：“十五日出而蝕，國破滅亡。”（如望在十五亦然。）

The Shi school says: When the moon is newly born and is completely eclipsed on the third day, this is called "great calamity," indicating that the state will have mourning events. The Gan school says: If there is an eclipse between the tenth and fourteenth day after the moon's birth, it indicates that the whole country will have military actions. (Original book note: If the full moon falls exactly on the fourteenth day of the month, then the usual method is applied.) The Shi school says: If an eclipse occurs when the moon rises on the fifteenth day, it indicates the state will suffer defeat and destruction. (Original book note: If the full moon falls exactly on the fifteenth day, the same method is applied.)

京氏曰：“月春蝕，歲惡，將軍死，一曰有憂；夏蝕，旱，憂殺；秋蝕，羌兵起；冬蝕，其國飢，有女喪。”京房《易候》曰：“月春蝕，有憂；夏蝕，有兵起，民無有一月糧，糴貴。《荊州占》曰：“孟春月蝕，賤人當之；仲春蝕，貴人當之；季春蝕，人主當之。”

Jing Fang said: If a lunar eclipse occurs in spring, it indicates a bad harvest, the death of a general, another interpretation suggests only disaster and worry; if it occurs in summer, it indicates drought and worry about punishments and executions; if it occurs in autumn, it indicates the rise of troops from the Western Qiang; if it occurs in winter, it indicates famine in the country and the death of a woman. In his book "Yi Hou," Jing Fang said: If a lunar eclipse occurs in spring, it indicates disaster and worry; if it occurs in summer, it indicates military action, with the people having no grain for a month, and grain prices rising sharply. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month of spring, the disaster will be borne by a low-ranking person; if it occurs in the second month, it will be borne by a high-ranking person; if it occurs in the third month, it will be borne by the sovereign.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月春蝕東方，王死之；夏蝕南方，王死之；季夏蝕中央，王死之；秋蝕西方，王死之；冬蝕北方，王死之，國以謀亡。”《荊州占》曰：“月夏蝕南方，歲飢；秋蝕西方，兵起。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" states: if a lunar eclipse occurs in spring with the moon in the east, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in summer with the moon in the south, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in late summer with the moon in the center, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in autumn with the moon in the west, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in winter with the moon in the north, the king will die because of it, and the country will perish due to internal plots. (Each of the four seasons corresponds to a direction; when an eclipse occurs in the direction corresponding to the season, the calamity is most severe.) The "Jingzhou Divination" states: if a lunar eclipse occurs in summer with the moon in the south, it indicates a year of famine; if a lunar eclipse occurs in autumn with the moon in the west, it indicates military action.

《荊州占》曰：“正月蝕，有災異蟲。一曰燕受災，期在七月之後。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“正月月蝕，賤人病，糴石二千；二月月蝕，貴人病，糴石二千；三月月蝕，人主當之，糴石四千；四月月蝕，人主當之；五月月蝕，年飢；六月月蝕，赤地千里；七月月蝕，有兵；八月月蝕，兵罷；九月月蝕，年飢；一曰有戰；十月月蝕，藏谷，一曰起軍；十一月月蝕，有喪，兵圍城夏，軍殺將；十二月月蝕，不盡，是謂當其數，不占。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month, it indicates a calamity involving insects; another interpretation suggests disaster in Yan territory, occurring after the seventh month. The "Dilang Xi" states: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month, it indicates illness among those of low status, with grain prices at two thousand coins per stone; in the second month, illness among the powerful, with grain prices at two thousand coins per stone; in the third month, the sovereign bears the calamity, with grain prices at four thousand coins per stone; in the fourth month, the sovereign bears the calamity; in the fifth month, it indicates a year of famine; in the sixth month, it indicates vast areas of land without vegetation; in the seventh month, it indicates military affairs; in the eighth month, it indicates the cessation of military actions; in the ninth month, it indicates a year of famine, another interpretation suggests military conflict; in the tenth month, it indicates hoarding of grain, another interpretation suggests military action; in the eleventh month, it indicates mourning, enemy siege of the city, and the execution of the general within the army; if a lunar eclipse occurs in the twelfth month but does not fully consume the moon, this is called conforming to the regular cycle, and no divination is needed.

《荊州占》曰：“正月月蝕，歲災。上旬蝕；旱，中旬蝕，蟲；下旬蝕，賤人死。”《荊州占》曰：“十二月月蝕，吳國受災，期六月；一曰有流民，盡乃以日辰占其野。”《荊州占》曰：“十二月月蝕，來年國有大事，小兵起。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month, it indicates that there will be calamity in that year. If it occurs in the first ten days, it signifies drought; if in the middle ten days, it signifies pestilence; if in the last ten days, it signifies the death of those of low status. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the twelfth month, it indicates disaster in the region of Wu, and the fulfillment will be in June; another interpretation suggests there will be a large number of refugees, and when their food runs out, one should refer to the stem and branch of that day to determine which region it will affect. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the twelfth month, it indicates that the country will have major events in the following year, and there will be small-scale military actions.

《洛書》曰：“月以甲乙日蝕，年多魚；丙丁日蝕，年飢；一曰年穀收。戊己日蝕，無耕下田；庚辛日蝕，高田不入，凶；壬癸蝕，其歲和美。司馬遷《天官書》曰：“月蝕甲乙，四海之外，不占；丙丁，淮海，岱也，戊己、中州，河濟也；庚辛、華山以南；壬癸，恆山以北；月蝕皆將軍當之。”

The Luo Writing says: If a lunar eclipse occurs on a Jia or Yi day, it indicates that there will be an abundance of fish that year; if it occurs on a Bing or Ding day, it suggests a year of famine, though another view suggests the opposite, that the grain will be harvested; if it occurs on a Wu or Ji day, it indicates that the low-lying fields cannot be cultivated; if it occurs on a Geng or Xin day, it suggests that the high fields will yield nothing, and the harvest will be poor; if it occurs on a Ren or Gui day, it indicates that the year will have favorable weather with proper rainfall and wind. Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian, in the section on the Star of Officialdom, says: If a lunar eclipse occurs on a Jia or Yi day, the disaster will be in the regions beyond the four seas and does not need to be interpreted; if it occurs on a Bing or Ding day, the disaster will be in the areas around the Huai River, the East Sea, and Mount Tai; if it occurs on a Wu or Ji day, the disaster will be in the central plains and between the Yellow River and the Ji River; if it occurs on a Geng or Xin day, the disaster will be south of Mount Hua; if it occurs on a Ren or Gui day, the disaster will be north of Mount Heng. In all cases of lunar eclipses, the disaster will be borne by the general.

《荊州占》曰：“蝕辰巳地，來年麥傷，春蟲；蝕千未地，禾稼少實，麥夏傷。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If an eclipse of the moon occurs in the regions corresponding to the directions of Chen and Si, it indicates that the wheat of the following year will be damaged, and there will be insect infestation in spring. If an eclipse occurs in the regions corresponding to the directions of Wu and Wei, it indicates that the grain will be sparse and the wheat will be damaged in summer. (This section's heading "Southern Eclipse" refers to the celestial region偏南 of Chen, Si, Wu, and Wei; the original text mistakenly writes "Qian" instead of "Wu".)

甘氏曰：“月行宿歲星而蝕，民相食，粟石千文，司農憂。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈歲星而蝕，天下大戰。”甘氏曰：“月行宿熒惑而蝕，天下破亡，有憂；期不出三年。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯熒惑，暈而蝕，天下破亡，失地，大將有憂，期不出三年。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯熒惑，暈而蝕，天下破亡地，大將有憂；蝕盡者，王位也；不盡者，大臣位也；近期三月，遠期三年。”

The Gan school says: When the moon reaches the same mansion as the star of years and there is an eclipse, it indicates that the people will suffer from famine so severe that they eat each other. The price of a stone of millet will reach a thousand coins, and the Grand Minister of Finance and Grain will be anxious and worried. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is enveloped by a halo around the star of years and there is a lunar eclipse, it indicates that there will be a great war throughout the world. The Gan school says: When the moon reaches the same mansion as the planet of chaos and there is an eclipse, it indicates that the world will suffer defeat and destruction, with worries and calamities, and the occurrence will not be beyond three years. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon invades the planet of chaos, and both a halo and an eclipse occur, it indicates that the world will suffer defeat and loss of territory, with worries for the great generals, and the occurrence will not be beyond three years. The "Di Lian Xi" says: When the moon invades the planet of chaos, and both a halo and an eclipse occur, it indicates that the world will suffer defeat and loss of territory, with worries for the great generals; if the moon is completely devoured, the calamity will be upon the ruler's position; if the moon is partially devoured, the calamity will be upon the ministers' positions; the calamity will occur within three months at the earliest, and within three years at the latest.

甘氏曰：“月行宿填星而蝕，其國以伐，飢亡。”《巫咸占》曰：“月當填星而蝕，其國有土功之事。”甘氏曰：“月行宿太白而蝕，強國戰，不勝亡城，大將有兩心；不出三年。”《荊州占》曰：“月宿太白，暈而蝕，其國有強兵，若戰而亡。”甘氏曰：“月行宿辰星而蝕，其國有女亂而亡國；期三年，若五年。”

The Gan school says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the planet Filling Star and undergoes an eclipse, the country will suffer from warfare and famine, leading to its downfall. The Wu Xian Divination says: When the moon is directly opposite the Filling Star and an eclipse occurs, the country will have major construction projects. The Gan school says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the Bright Star and an eclipse occurs, a powerful country will engage in battle but fail to win, losing its cities, and the general will be disloyal; the prediction will not come true within three years. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the Bright Star, and both a halo and an eclipse appear, the country will have a strong military force, but may eventually be destroyed by warfare. The Gan school says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the Morning Star and an eclipse occurs, the country will be destroyed by internal disturbances caused by women; the prediction will occur within three or five years.

石氏曰：“月蝕在角、亢，刑法之臣有當黜者。”《黃帝占》曰：“月入角而蝕，將使有憂，國門四閉，其邦凶。”陳卓曰：“月蝕於角，其君死。”甘氏曰：“月在亢中蝕，其君邦有憂。”《黃帝占》曰：“蝕在氐中，天子憂疾；一曰妃后憂疾。”石氏曰：“月在氐中蝕，大臣死，後惡之；一曰後宮惡之；王者復禮，以赦除之。”

The Shi school says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Horn mansion or the Neck mansion, it indicates that officials in charge of legal punishment should be dismissed. This passage explains how lunar eclipses are interpreted based on the mansion they occur in, with each mansion corresponding to different officials and calamities. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Horn mansion and undergoes an eclipse, it indicates that generals and envoys will face troubles, the capital's four gates will be closed, and the state will suffer misfortune. Chen Zhuo says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Horn mansion, it indicates the death of the ruler of the corresponding territory. The Gan school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Neck mansion, it indicates that the ruler and the state will face troubles. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Root mansion, it indicates the Son of Heaven will be troubled by illness; another interpretation says the queen consort will be troubled by illness. The Shi school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Root mansion, it indicates the death of a high minister, the empress will face misfortune; another interpretation says the imperial harem will face misfortune; the king should renew rituals and use clemency to eliminate the calamity.

《荊州占》曰：“在氐、房蝕，主治耕之臣當有黜者。”石氏曰：“月在房而蝕，公卿大夫在憂，當有黜者。”石氏曰：“月在房蝕，王者有憂，皆亂大臣專政，必有憂病。”京氏《妖占》曰：“月蝕於房，天子有喪。”郗萌曰：“月蝕房心間，人主有兵害。”石氏曰：“月在心蝕，人主惡之，太子庶子有憂，三公有死者。”郗萌曰：“月蝕，臣伐主，內亂。”《荊州占》曰：“月在心蝕，三公諸候有當黜者。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the mansion of Di or Fang, it indicates that there will be a minister in charge of agriculture who will be dismissed. The Shi school says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Fang, it indicates that the prince, marquises, and ministers will have troubles, and some will be dismissed. The Shi school also says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Fang, it indicates that the king will have worries, which is due to ministers disrupting the state affairs and monopolizing power, and there will certainly be sorrow and illness. Jingfang's "Yao Divination" says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the mansion of Fang, it indicates that the emperor will have a funeral. Xi Meng says: If a lunar eclipse occurs between the mansions of Fang and Xin, it indicates that the ruler will face military threats. The Shi school says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Xin, it indicates that the ruler will encounter misfortune, the crown prince and other sons will have troubles, and there will be death among the Three Dukes. Xi Meng says: If the moon is eclipsed, it indicates that ministers will attack the ruler and internal disorder will arise. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Xin, it indicates that there will be dismissals among the Three Dukes and the feudal lords.

甘氏曰：“月蝕尾、箕，后族有刑罪，若妾有坐者，后有憂。”石氏曰：“月在尾、箕而蝕，主御者及樂人有當黜者。”郗曰：“月蝕於箕，為風；一曰車騎發。”陳卓曰：“月宿箕而蝕，人相食。”

The Gan school says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Tail mansion or the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates that someone from the imperial family's maternal relatives or the imperial harem will be punished, or some palace attendants will be implicated and punished, and the empress will have worries. (The Tail mansion is naturally associated with the imperial harem, so the calamity will affect the maternal relatives.) The Shi school says: When the moon is in the Tail mansion or the Winnowing Basket mansion and is eclipsed, it indicates that there will be dismissals among the drivers of the imperial chariots and the musicians. Xi Meng says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates that there will be wind; another interpretation suggests that the imperial cavalry will be mobilized. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon is in the Winnowing Basket mansion and is eclipsed, it indicates a great famine where people eat each other.

甘氏曰：“月在南斗而蝕，將相有憂，飢、凶。”甘氏曰：“月入牽牛度而蝕，其國叛兵起。”甘氏曰：“月在須女而蝕，邦有女主憂，天下女功廢。”郗萌曰：“月在須女而蝕，宮中有巫咒詛禱祝以求，幸有當黜者。”《黃帝占》曰：“月蝕在虛而蝕，邦有崩喪，天下改服，期九十日。

The Gan school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Dou star, it indicates that generals and chancellors will suffer misfortune, and there will be famine and a year of calamity.

The Gan school says: When the moon is eclipsed in Su Nu, it indicates that the female rulers of states will have worries, and the weaving industry of women throughout the land will be neglected. Xi Meng says: When the moon is eclipsed in Su Nu, it indicates that there will be people in the palace who use witchcraft and incantations to seek favor, among whom some will be dismissed. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in Xu Su, it indicates that the state will suffer from deaths and losses, and the whole country will change its mourning attire, and the period of calamity will last ninety days. (Xu Su is originally associated with mourning and funerals, so the calamity will be as described; the original text has an extra 'eclipse' character in the phrase 'moon eclipse in Xu Su and eclipse,' and the last sentence is missing the quotation mark.)

郗萌曰：“月蝕虛、危，民多去其室；一曰大戰。”郗萌曰：“月在虛、危而蝕，主刀，主刀劍衣履金玉之臣有當黜者。”甘氏曰：“月蝕危，不有崩喪，必有大臣薨，天下改服。”石氏曰：“月在危而蝕，刀劍之官憂；一曰月在虛、危而蝕，戒在衣履金玉之臣有黜者；一曰必有驚恐之事。”石氏曰：“月蝕危，不有病主，必有大喪，天下改服。”

The Shi school said: When the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Rooftop, it indicates that the officials who oversee weapons will be troubled; another interpretation suggests that when the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Emptiness or the mansion of Rooftop, the warning is that among the ministers who oversee clothing, gold, and jade, some will be dismissed; yet another interpretation suggests that there will certainly be something alarming. The Shi school said: When the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Rooftop, if it is not the king falling ill, then certainly there will be a great mourning, and the whole country will change its mourning attire.

甘氏曰：“月在營室而蝕，為軍族士眾之潰。”石氏曰：“月蝕營室，大軍絕糧。”郗萌占曰：“月在營室而蝕，陰道毀，不能化生，有黜削之罪。”《玄冥占》曰：“月在東壁而蝕，大臣有戮，文章者執。”

The Gan school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the constellation Yingshi, it indicates that the military clan and soldiers will scatter. The Shi school says: When an eclipse occurs in Yingshi, it signifies that the great army will be cut off from provisions.

The Xuanming divination says: When the moon is eclipsed in Dongbi, it indicates that ministers will be killed and those in charge of literature and records will be arrested.

石氏曰：“月在奎而蝕，有大臣憂，削凶；期九十日。”石氏曰：“月奎度中，魯國凶，一曰邦君不安，白衣之會。”《郗萌占》曰：“月在奎而蝕，主邊兵之臣有當黜者。”《海中占》曰：“月蝕於奎，大將軍有謀。”石氏曰：“月在奎、婁而蝕，主聚斂之臣有黜者。”甘氏曰：“月蝕婁，皇后犯危，大臣受誅。”《海中占》曰：“月蝕婁，其國有王事。”郗萌曰：“月宿婁而蝕，人相食。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Stomach mansion, it indicates that kings will devour each other, large cities will lose their rulers, and generals will lose their armies; another interpretation suggests that a minister entrusted with a mission will be guilty of a crime. (The original text mistakenly writes 'bone' instead of 'stomach mansion'.)

Gan Shi said: When the moon is eclipsed in Can Xu, it signifies the death of a powerful minister, a great famine, and people eating each other; another interpretation suggests that powerful ministers have plots. The "Sea of Divination" says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in Can Xu, it indicates that there are armies outside the country, a general dying in battle, and the state corresponding to that constellation will face troubles, with the whole world changing its policies.

石氏曰：“月在井、鬼而蝕，主人主五祠之官憂。”甘氏曰：“月在東井而蝕，大臣誅，一曰大臣謀，皇后不安，五穀不登。”陳卓曰：“月在東井而蝕，其國內亂。”甘氏曰：“月在輿鬼而蝕，廢貴臣，后有憂，天下不安；期一年，遠三年。”

The Shi school says: When the moon wanes in the Well mansion and the Ghost mansion, it indicates that the officials in charge of the five types of worship will have worries.

The original text notes that '蚀' was mistakenly written as '烛'. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Note star, it indicates that people will eat each other. The original text notes that 'Note' is another name for the Willow mansion. The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Seven Stars mansion, it indicates a loss of the vital yang energy and the Wealth star and mother star, leading to sudden execution of high officials and great famine in the country; also, officials responsible for documents and legal cases will be dismissed. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Seven Stars mansion, it indicates that officials responsible for roads, bridges, gates, and defenses will be dismissed.

甘氏曰：“月在張而蝕，貴人失勢，皇后有憂，期七十日。”郗萌曰：“月在張而蝕，人相食。”甘氏曰：“月在張而蝕，水衡虞人當有黜者。”甘氏曰：“月在翼而蝕，忠臣見譖言，清正者亡，不出其年。”郗萌曰：“月在翼而蝕，主車駕之臣有黜者。”甘氏曰：“月在軫而蝕，貴臣亡；一曰后不安，期百八十日。”郗萌曰：“月在軫而蝕，車騎發。”

The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Zhang mansion, it indicates that a person of high status will lose power, and the queen will have worries, with the event occurring within seventy days. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Zhang mansion, it indicates people eating each other. The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Zhang mansion, it indicates that the water balance general and the forest and lake officer will have someone dismissed. The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Yi mansion, it indicates that loyal ministers will be slandered, and the upright and virtuous will perish, occurring within the same year. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Yi mansion, it indicates that the official in charge of carriages will be dismissed. The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Chen mansion, it indicates that the powerful ministers will perish; another interpretation suggests the queen will be uneasy, with the event occurring within one hundred and eighty days. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Chen mansion, it indicates the mobilization of chariots and cavalry. (The Chen mansion originally governs carriages, so the disaster will affect chariots and cavalry.)

《荊州占》曰：“月在建而蝕，后妃癙娣有當黜者。”石氏曰：“月在太微而蝕，有破國易王。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon is eclipsed in the star cluster Jian, it indicates that there will be a concubine or a maid-in-waiting among the royal harem who will be dismissed. (The Jian star cluster consists of six stars located north of the Nandou star cluster, representing the banners and gates of the Son of Heaven.) The Shi school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Taimei Enclosure, it signifies the possibility of the country's destruction and the replacement of the king.

石氏曰：“月在弧、狼而蝕，主供養之官當黜者；一曰食者亡。”

The Shi school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the constellations Gu Shu and Tian Lang, the officials responsible for providing food and drink to the sovereign should be dismissed; another interpretation suggests that those who receive salaries and food will perish. (Gu Shu and Tian Lang are located south of Jing Xu, and belong to the outer officials transmitted by Shi Shen, originally responsible for guarding against thieves and defending the realm.)

《海中占》曰：“月蝕，王者以救，除咎則安；又曰：月蝕，清刑明罰，敕法。”《周禮地官司徒》曰：“救月蝕，則詔王鼓。鄭玄曰：救日月食，王者必親擊鼓。《禮記婚義》曰：“婦教不修，陰事不得，謫見於天，月為之食。是故月蝕則後素服而修六宮之職，蕩天下之陰事。”《星傳》曰：“月者、刑也，月蝕修刑。”（鄭玄曰：救月蝕，王必親擊鼓也。）

The Sea of Divination says: When an eclipse of the moon occurs, the sovereign should perform a ritual to avert calamity, thus eliminating misfortune and restoring peace. It also says that during a lunar eclipse, one should clear up legal cases, clarify rewards and punishments, and regulate laws and regulations. The Rites of Zhou, Department of the Grand Master, says: When performing the ritual to avert a lunar eclipse, one should request the sovereign to personally beat the drum. Zheng Xuan explains: When avert a solar or lunar eclipse, the sovereign must personally beat the drum. The Book of Rites, On the Meaning of Marriage, says: If the education of women's virtue is neglected, and matters of the yin aspect are out of order, heaven will send a warning sign, and the moon will be eclipsed as a result. Therefore, when a lunar eclipse occurs, the empress should wear plain mourning clothes,整顿 the duties of the six palaces, and cleanse all yin-related affairs throughout the land. The Star Transmission says: The moon governs punishment, so when a lunar eclipse occurs, one should reform the judicial system. (Original book note: Zheng Xuan says, when avert a lunar eclipse, the sovereign must personally beat the drum.)

《春秋緯》曰：“天有五帝，五星為之使。”《荊州占》曰：“五星者，五行之精也；五帝之子，天使者，行於列舍，以司無道之國王者；施恩佈德，正直清虛，則五星順度，出入應時，天下安寧，禍亂不生；人君無德，信奸佞、退忠良、遠君子、近小人，則五星逆行、變色、出入不時、揚芒角、怒變為妖星、彗、孛、茀、掃、天狗、枉矢、天槍、天掊、攙雲、格澤，山崩地振，川竭雨血，眾妖所出，天下大亂，主死國滅，不可救也，餘殃不盡，為飢旱疾疫。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings state: There are five heavenly emperors in the heavens, and the five stars are their envoys. The Jingzhou Divination says: The five stars are the refined essence of the Five Phases, the sons of the Five Emperors, and heavenly envoys who move among the twenty-eight mansions, observing and inspecting unrighteous states. If a ruler extends benevolence and virtue, is upright, tranquil, and non-interfering, the five stars will follow their regular paths, appearing and disappearing in accordance with the seasons, bringing peace to the world and preventing calamity. But if a ruler lacks virtue, listens to villains, expels the virtuous, distances the gentlemen, and draws near the petty, the five stars will moveretrograde, change their colors, appear at inappropriate times, and raise theirpointed rays, becoming wrathful and transforming into妖星, such as comets,孛星,茀星,扫星, Heavenly Dog,枉矢,天枪,天掊,搀云, and格泽. These phenomena will be followed by mountain collapses, earth tremors, river droughts, and heavenly blood rains, with various omens appearing together, leading to great chaos, the death of the ruler, and the destruction of the state, which cannot be reversed. The remaining calamities will further manifest as famine, drought, and epidemics.

甘氏曰：“五星主兵，太白為主；五星主谷，歲星為主；五星主旱，煢惑為主；五星主土，填星為主；五星主水，辰星為主。五星木土以逆行為凶；火以鉤巳為凶；金以出入不時為凶；水以不效為凶；五凶並見，其年必惡。”

The Gan school says: Among the five planets, the one governing military affairs is the White Star; the one governing grain harvests is the Jupiter; the one governing drought and flood is the Red Star; the one governing earthworks is the Filling Star; and the one governing water affairs is the Dawn Star. If they go out of their proper course, the Jupiter and the Earth Star are ominous when they moveretrograde; the Red Star is ominous when it forms a hook shape and lingers; the White Star is ominous when it appears or disappears out of season; and the Dawn Star is ominous when it fails to appear at the proper time. If all five ominous signs appear together, the harvest of that year will certainly be poor. (The original text mistakenly writes 「茕」 instead of 「荧」.)

巫咸曰：“五星者，五勝也。十二辰、二十八宿舍於刑德；日為朱鳥，月為玄武，房心為青龍，參為白虎；常每向北斗、太一，審能知此，萬事盡畢。五星、二十八舍以王時，則王者之事也；以相時，則卿相之事；以囚時，則囚徒之事也；以廢時，則萬民之事也。

Wu Xian said: The five stars represent the energies of the Five Phases in a state of mutual overcoming. The twelve earthly branches and the twenty-eight mansions can be summarized as either '刑' (punishment) or '德' (virtue). The sun belongs to the Red Bird, the moon to the Black Tortoise. The Room Mansion and Heart Mansion belong to the Azure Dragon, while the Three Stars Mansion belongs to the White Tiger. These constellations often face the Big Dipper and Taiyi. If these can be clearly discerned, all matters of divination will be complete. When the five stars and the twenty-eight mansions are in the phase of 'Wang' (dominance), they signify matters concerning the ruler; when in 'Xiang' (minister), they relate to officials and ministers; when in 'Qiu' (captivity), they pertain to prisoners; and when in 'Fei' (decline), they concern the common people. (Wang, Xiang, Qiu, and Fei represent the successive phases of the Five Phases according to the changing strength of the four seasons.)

五星各受制，而司無道之國；故審五星逆、順、變色、留守，觀其喜、怒、變色所加宿之左右、前後、遠近、疏數、害克、陰陽，及見五氣相賊王者，而救之轉禍為福，宗廟可得而保，社稷可得而有。”石氏《五星贊》曰：“五星更出司不祥，應節守道不為殃，月滿不入其事興，過時不出陰謀行；以星所守占其方、芒角變動非其常；審察五色別青黃，各以事類知其殃。”

The five planets are each subject to the constraints of the Five Phases and individually observe and scrutinize countries that are unjust. Therefore, one must examine the retrograde and direct motion of the planets, their changing colors, and their lingering in a particular star position. "Ling" refers to the planet stopping in its motion, while "shou" means the planet remains in a certain star position for several days without moving. One should observe the planet's expressions of joy and anger, whether the color change occurs on the left or right, in front or behind, the distance between them, whether they are scattered or gathered, and whether they are mutually harmful or controlling. One should also determine whether the planet's movement is along the yin or yang path, until the interactions among the Five Phases' energies are clearly understood. The king can then take corrective measures to transform misfortune into good fortune, ensuring the preservation of the ancestral temple and the continued existence of the state. The Shi school's "Five Stars Ode" states: the five planets take turns appearing and disappearing, specifically overseeing ominous events. If they align with the seasons and remain within their usual paths, they will not become calamities. If during a full moon they should appear but do not, the matter will surely arise. If they should emerge but do not after their appointed time, secret plots are being carried out. One should determine the direction corresponding to the star position where the planet is stationed, observing whether the planet's brightness and its position are abnormal. Then carefully examine the distinctions of the five colors—green, yellow, red, white, and black—and determine the specific calamity each color signifies.

石氏曰：“五星不失行，則年穀豐昌。”《黃帝占》曰：“有道之國，五星過之不失其行，則人君吉昌，萬民安寧。”又曰：“出中道，天下太平；出陰道，旱；出陰道，多雨水。”《動聲儀》曰：“五音和，則五星如度。陳卓曰：“五星出陰道，多陰謀。”

The Shi school says: If the five planets do not deviate from their regular paths, the year will have abundant and prosperous harvests. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: In a virtuous state, the five planets pass through their respective regions without departing from their normal courses, which indicates the sovereign will have good fortune and prosperity, and the people will be at peace. It also says: When the five planets move along the central path of the Yellow Path, the world will be in peace; when they move along the northern path of the Yellow Path, which is the yang path, there will be drought; when they move along the southern path of the Yellow Path, which is the yin path, there will be excessive rain. (The original text has both instances as "yin path," but the first one should be a mistake for "yang path.") The "Dongsheng Yi" says: When the five tones, Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu, are in harmony, the five planets will each follow their proper paths. Chen Zhuo says: When the five planets move along the yin path, there will be much scheming and intrigue.

石氏曰：“五星分天之中，積於東方，中國大利；積於西方，負海之國，用兵者利。”《春秋緯》曰：“五星早出為盈，盈者為客；晚出為縮，縮者為主人，禍發其沖。”《考靈耀》曰：“天失日月，遺其珠囊。”（珠五星也，遺囊者，盈縮失度也。）

The Shi school says: Divide the celestial sphere in half, and when the five planets gather in the east, it indicates great benefit for the central plains; when they gather in the west, it indicates benefit for the distant coastal regions, and the side that uses military force will gain advantage. The "Chunqiu Wei" says: When the five planets appear earlier than their usual positions, it is called "ying," and "ying" takes the position of the guest; when they appear later than their usual positions, it is called "suo," and "suo" takes the position of the host; calamity occurs in the direction opposite to it. The "Kao Lingyao" says: If the heavens lose the sun and moon, it is like losing the bag containing precious jewels. (Original book note: The jewels refer to the five planets, and losing the bag refers to the five planets being out of their proper positions.)

《黃帝占》曰：“五星不出兩河間，必有不道之臣；一曰必有道不通。”《春秋緯》曰：“君臣有謀，心憤未言，精象動於物，五星錯於官。”郗萌曰：“五星不行天門、天闕間，皆為有喪。

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the five planets do not pass between the southern and northern rivers, there will certainly be a minister who does not abide by the way of a subject. Another interpretation says this indicates a definite obstruction in the roads. The Spring Orbit says: The king and the ministers each have their own schemes, resentment and anger accumulate in their hearts but remain unspoken. This surge of spirit and energy moves all things, and the five planets then become disordered in their respective positions. Xi Meng says: If the five planets do not pass through the heavenly gate and heavenly terrace, it foretells a funeral. (The text of this section ends here; the last sentence is missing from the original, and the following text belongs to the next section.)

五星不道東西咸，皆為必有賊。五星行往天闕，不出其年，有兵。五星皆逆行，主且乘法臣且謀其主。”石氏曰：“五星行二十八舍裡七寸內者，及宿者，其國君死。五星舍二十八宿，王者誅，除其國。五星犯合宿中間星，其坐者在國中；犯南為男，犯北為女，東為少，西為老。五星逆行，去宿雖非七寸內而守之者，其國君被誅刑死，順而留下，疾病死。”

The five planets (the bright star, which is Jupiter, the red star, which is Mars, the filling star also called the stabilizing star, which is Saturn, the white star, which is Venus, and the morning star, which is Mercury) do not follow their usual paths, but instead sometimes deviate to the east and sometimes to the west. If all five planets behave this way, there will certainly be bandits emerging. If the five planets move toward the 'Celestial Gate'—a star official symbolizing the heavenly gate—there will be military conflict within the year. If all five planets move retrograde, that is, they no longer move from west to east as usual, but instead move westward, this is a sign that the ruler will overstep the law and ministers will plot against the ruler. The above is still a continuation of the previous divination. The Shi school says: if the five planets move within the twenty-eight mansions and approach within seven inches, or directly overlap a mansion star, the king of the region corresponding to that mansion will die. If the five planets stop within the twenty-eight mansions, the king will be executed and the country will be destroyed. If the five planets invade and congregate at the center of a particular mansion star, the person who will be punished will be in the capital city; if the deviation is to the south, it refers to a man; to the north, a woman; to the east, a young person; and to the west, an old person. If the five planets move retrograde and although they are not within seven inches of a mansion star, they remain stationed there without moving, the king of that region will be executed and killed. If they move normally but stop below a mansion star, the king will die of illness.

郗萌曰：“五星並出，皆逆行，不出其年，天下遣五將，期五十日。”巫咸曰：“五星受制而出，司無道之國，變色而逆行，犯度列宿及中官，留守二十日以上，皆臣殺；滿六十日以上，王者殺；則彗、-出所過之鄉，其下有亂兵。故世亂感，則天文變；下侵上，則五星逆。五星逆守列宿，若已去之還復，居之繞環成勾己，乍大乍小，乍明乍晦，是謂絕紀，其禍愈甚。”

Xi Meng said: The five planets appear at the same time and all move retrograde, and this will not take more than the same year; the whole country will send out five generals, and the appointed time will be within fifty days. Wu Xian said: The five planets are revealed under the mandate of heaven and are used to inspect the unrighteous state; they change their original colors and move retrograde, violating the degrees of the twenty-eight constellations and the stars in the Central Palace. The term 'stay' refers to remaining in one place for a long time without moving; if they stay for more than twenty days, it indicates the death of a minister; if they stay for more than sixty days, it indicates the death of the sovereign. At this time, a comet-like evil star appears (the original text is missing one character, only a symbol remains). Whenever they sweep across, there will be chaos below. Therefore, when the world becomes confused, the heavenly phenomena change accordingly; when the lower parts encroach upon the upper, the five planets appear to move retrograde. If the five planets move retrograde and stay in a certain constellation, and if they have already left but then return, lingering in that area forming a curved shape, sometimes large and sometimes small, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, this is called 'cutting off the record', meaning the heavenly order is broken, and the resulting calamity is especially severe.

《海中占》曰：“五星不當歷列宿，絕列星；有分國貴人有獄，抵列舍其國有喪；以五色占其吉凶；黃為喜，赤為兵，白為喪，蒼為憂，黑為水。”董仲舒曰：“五星失行度者，臣非其人，賢不肖並立，臣亂於下，則星錯於上，進賢，退不肖，以救亡。”

The Sea Divination says: The five planets should not pass through certain star mansions but instead go directly through them, abandoning the orderly sequence of the star mansions; in this case, the nobleman of the country corresponding to the affected mansion will be involved in legal troubles. If a planet stops directly in a particular mansion without passing through, the country will suffer calamity. Whether the outcome is auspicious or inauspicious should be judged by the five colors displayed by the five planets at that time: yellow signifies joy, red signifies military conflict, white signifies mourning, blue signifies worry, and black signifies flood. Dong Zhongshu said: The five planets deviate from their normal paths because the officials in power are not suitable people, and the virtuous and the unworthy are placed together and advance together; when the ministers cause chaos on earth, the stars err in the sky. The remedy is to promote the virtuous and dismiss the unworthy, using this method to save the country from peril.

《黃帝占》曰：“五星逆行變色，出入不時，則王者宜變俗更行，起毀宗廟，立無後，賑貧窮，恤孤寡，寬刑罰，賞有功，舉名士，禮賢者，順天道；四時發藏財物，虛府庫，薄賦斂，則日月五星，妖孽虹彗，不為禍害矣。”郗萌曰：“五星有逆行及變色，若非其常，則以聞於上；各以其事修其政。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the five planets moveretrograde, change color, and appear or disappear at times not in accordance with the usual, the ruler should change customs and reform laws and decrees. He should rebuild destroyed ancestral temples, establish heirs for families without descendants, provide relief to the poor, care for orphans and widows, lighten punishments, reward those who have merited, recommend virtuous scholars, and treat the virtuous with propriety. In all matters, he should follow the ways of Heaven. In each of the four seasons, he should distribute stored wealth, empty the treasuries, and reduce taxes. In this way, the abnormal phenomena of the sun, moon, and five planets, as well as omens such as comets, rainbows, and shooting stars, will not bring calamity. Xi Meng says: When the five planets appearretrograde or change color, if they do not conform to the usual, they should be reported to the sovereign. Then, each matter should be properly handled according to its appropriate affairs.
