The Kaiyuan Treatise on Astrology, Volume 22

石氏曰：“太白乾填星，敗殃五穀不熟，惟飢之亡。”《文耀鉤》曰：“填星與金合，則為白衣會。”《春秋緯》曰：“填星與金合，為水。”石氏曰：“地侯與太白合，所合之宿，國亡地。”《荊州占》曰：“填星與太白合，太白在填星南，名曰牝牡，年穀熟；在填星北，歲偏無飢。”又曰：“填星與太白合一舍，太白在上，填星在下，名曰並光，逆也，不出三年，有兵民流。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Tai Bai (the planet of metal) approaches the planet Tian Xing (the planet of earth), it indicates destruction and disaster, with poor harvests of grain, leading to famine and death. The Wen Yao Gou says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet, there will be mourning events with people wearing white clothes. The Chun Qiu Wei says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet, there will be floods. The Shi school says: When the planet Di Hou (another name for Tian Xing) meets Tai Bai, the country corresponding to the constellation where they meet will lose its territory. The Jing Zhou Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet, if Tai Bai is to the south of Tian Xing, this is called "Pine and Male," and the harvest of grain will be good; if Tai Bai is to the north of Tian Xing, this year there will be some areas suffering from hunger. It also says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet in the same constellation, with Tai Bai above and Tian Xing below, this is called "parallel light," indicating chaos and disorder. Within three years, there will be warfare and the people will be displaced.

又曰：“填星與太白合，在金北，去之七寸，母子同光，義讓而年，年穀登，人主壽。”又曰：“填星太白合，相守，為兵飢，疾疫，不出三年，有流民。”石氏曰：“填星與太白，俱入營室中，天下且有謀兵。”郗萌曰：“填星與太白合斗，光芒相接，相為亂。”甘氏曰：“太白與填星合，為疾，為內兵。”

It is also said that when the planet Filling Star joins with the planet Tai Bai, and the Filling Star is north of the Tai Bai, with a distance of seven inches, this is called "mother and child shining together," indicating that people uphold righteousness, are humble and yielding, and have a good harvest, with abundant grain. The ruler will live a long life. It is also said that when the Filling Star and Tai Bai join and mutually guard each other, there will be military conflicts, famine, and widespread disease, and within three years, there will be wandering people. The Shi school says: when the Filling Star and Tai Bai enter the Encampment Mansion together, the whole country will have plots for military action. Xi Meng says: when the Filling Star and Tai Bai join and fight, their light touches each other, indicating mutual rebellion. The Gan school says: when Tai Bai and Filling Star join, there will be disease and internal military disturbances.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉惠帝光熙元年十二月癸未，太白犯填星，是後河間王為東海王越所殺，明年正月，東海王越殺諸葛玖等，五月汲桑馮嵩，殺東燕王，八月苟= 大破汲桑。穆帝永和十二年七月丁卯，太白犯填星，在柳七度，其年八月，桓溫破姚襄於伊水定周之地。）

The original commentary states: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," in the first year of Guangxi of Emperor Huai of Jin, on theGuiwei day of the twelfth lunar month, the bright star invaded the planet of filling; afterwards, the Prince of Hejian was killed by the Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue. In the next year, the first lunar month, the Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue, executed Dugejiu and others; in the fifth lunar month, Jisang and Fengsong killed the Prince of Dongyan; in the eighth lunar month, Gouxi defeated Jisang (the name here is damaged, only a symbol remains). In the twelfth year of Yonghe of Emperor Mu of Jin, on theDingmao day of the seventh lunar month, the bright star invaded the planet of filling, located at the seventh degree of the Willow Mansion; in this same eighth lunar month, Huan Wen defeated Yao Xiang at the Yi River, pacifying the area of the former Zhou dynasty's capital.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與填星合，填星色蒼，為眷多死，亦為兵，黃為旱。”又曰：“太白在填星北一尺，女主不用事；在填星南一尺，女主死。”又曰：“太白環繞填星，將治兵，必增土。”焦延壽曰：“填星與太白俱出，國得地。”《荊州占》曰：“填星、太白相近，數十日間不相去，有奸太后者。”《文耀鉤》曰：“主任恣，則太白觸填星。”《荊州占》曰：“填星干太白，水草木死。”《文耀鉤》曰：“太白觸填星，發大兵，相殘賊。”巫咸曰：“太白與填星斗，期九十日，其君憂，王者亡地，若有兵與喪，更立王公。”《荊州占》曰：“填星與太白合斗，臣謀主，有兵起，其國失地。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the star Tai Bai meets the star Tian Xing, if Tian Xing appears green, it indicates many relatives will die, and there will be military conflicts; if Tian Xing appears yellow, it indicates a drought. It also says: When Tai Bai is one chi north of Tian Xing, it indicates the female ruler cannot hold power; when Tai Bai is one chi south of Tian Xing, it indicates the death of the female ruler. It also says: When Tai Bai circles around Tian Xing, it indicates the need to prepare for military defense and definitely to reinforce earthworks and fortifications. Jiao Yanshou says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai appear together, it indicates the country will gain territory. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai are very close, and remain together for dozens of days, it indicates someone is conspiring with the empress dowager. Wen Yao Gou says: When the king is capricious and indulgent, Tai Bai will offend Tian Xing. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing offends Tai Bai, it indicates the death of aquatic plants and trees. Wen Yao Gou says: When Tai Bai offends Tian Xing, it indicates a large-scale military campaign, with mutual destruction. Wu Xian says: When Tai Bai and Tian Xing fight, the period of the event is ninety days, the ruler of that region will have worries, the king will lose territory, or there will be military conflicts and funerals, and a new prince or minister will be established. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet and fight, it indicates ministers plotting against the king, military conflicts will arise, and the country will lose territory.

《荊州占》曰：“填星干辰星，冬虹、雷行、夏寒、雨雹、隕霜。”甘氏曰：“水乾土，夏寒而雨雪，妨女主。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星犯填星，夏多寒霜，秋多淫雨，女主見放；一曰女主有憂。”石氏曰：“地侯與免星合於東方，免星色白而大，天下有兵於外，裂地相賂為和。”

The Zhongjiao Divination says: The planet Tianming (Fill Star) conflicting with the planet Chenxing (Morning Star) indicates that there will be a rainbow in winter and thunder in winter, cold in summer, hail and frost falling. The Gan school says: Water conflicting with earth indicates cold in summer and snowfall, which harms the female ruler. The Zhongjiao Divination also says: The planet Chenxing conflicting with the planet Tianming indicates many cold frosts in summer and continuous rain in autumn, the female ruler being exiled; another interpretation is that the female ruler has worries. The Shi school says: The planet Tianming (Fill Star), representing the earth, and the planet Chenxing (Morning Star), representing the rabbit, meeting in the east, with the Chenxing appearing white and large in size, indicates military conflicts occurring outside the country, requiring the offering of land to seek peace.

《五行傳》曰：“漢文帝后七年十一月戊戌，填星、辰星合於危，齊分；占曰：為壅沮，若得水，為懷所當之，國不可舉事，用兵必受其殃，將有覆軍。後三年，齊王舉兵應吳楚，吳楚敗而自殺之應也。”《天官書》曰：“土與水合，為壅斗，有覆軍，其國不可舉事；出亡地，入得地。”（謂所出宿所入宿也。）又曰：“土與水合，則變謀而更事。”

The "Transmission of the Five Phases" states: In the seventh year of the later period of Emperor Wen of Han, in the eleventh month on the Wuxu day, the planet of filling and the planet of the morning star met at the mansion of the rooftop. This is the territory corresponding to the state of Qi. The divination text says: This is called "obstructing and blocking." If it coincides with water vapor, the area it indicates will be flooded. The country should not initiate any actions; if it goes to war, it will surely suffer calamity, and there will be a complete defeat. Three years later, the king of Qi raised an army to support Wu and Chu. Wu and Chu's armies were defeated, and the king of Qi committed suicide, which was the fulfillment of this prophecy. The "Book of Celestial Officials" says: When the planet of filling and the planet of water meet, it is called "obstructing and blocking," which indicates a complete defeat. If it occurs in the country, it will lose territory; if it enters the country, it will gain territory. The original commentary says: This refers to the mansion it leaves and the mansion it enters. It also says: When earth and water meet, there will be a change in plans and a change in the affairs to be carried out.

《文耀鉤》曰：“免星與填星合，內亂飢，勿用戰。”石氏曰：“浼星與填星合，為壅沮，所當之國，不可舉事，用兵必受其殃。”甘氏曰：“免星志填星合，有敗軍，死將。”《海中占》曰：“辰星與填星合，在虛中，秋水出。”（案檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：孝武太元五年七月丙子，辰星犯填星，冬十月，丹陽、平陵、義興水災，六年六月，揚、荊州，江大水。）郗萌曰：“曰：“辰星與填星合，有陰謀者。”又曰：“辰星與填星合虛中，齊國地動。”

The Wen Yao Gou says: When the star of exemption (Chen star) and the filling star meet, it indicates internal disorder and famine, and one should not engage in warfare. The Shi school says: When the star of exemption (also written as the star of浼) and the filling star meet, it is called obstruction and stagnation, and the country that corresponds to this should not undertake any actions, and warfare will certainly bring calamity. The Gan school says: When the star of exemption and the filling star meet, it indicates defeat of the army and death of generals. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the Chen star and the filling star meet, and their position is in the mansion of Emptiness, it indicates a great flood in autumn. The original book's note says: According to Tan Daoluan's Jin Yang Chou, in the fifth year of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin's Taoyuan era, seventh month, on the Bingzi day, the Chen star invaded the filling star; in the winter of the same year, in the tenth month, there was flooding in Danyang, Pingling, and Yixing areas; in the sixth month of the next year, there was a great flood along the Yangtze River in Yangzhou and Jingzhou. Xi Meng says: When the Chen star and the filling star meet, it indicates someone plotting secretly. It also says: When the Chen star and the filling star meet in the mansion of Emptiness, it indicates an earthquake in the state of Qi.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星出而與填星會，主令不行。”石氏曰：“辰星填星會者，國有土功田役，非法奸臣所為，誅之吉。”郗萌曰：“填星所在，辰星從之，伐者不利。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星所在，填星從之，伐者利，有功。”又曰：“填星與辰星為雌雄，俱入之宿，其國得地；俱出之宿，其國失地。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星與浼星；斗東方，臣代君斗西方，期九十日，強國，宮中有亂事。”《荊州占》曰：“填星與辰星合斗，軍在外，必戰；無軍，為內亂。”又曰：“辰星與填星合斗，其國有兵，水土相從，關梁不通，其分亂。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the planet Chen Xing appears and meets the planet Tian Xing, the ruler's decrees will not be implemented. The Shi school says: When Chen Xing and Tian Xing meet, there will be earth and wood construction projects and agricultural labor, which are not in accordance with the law, caused by corrupt ministers. If these ministers are executed, it will be auspicious. Xi Meng says: When Tian Xing is in a certain position and Chen Xing follows it, it is unfavorable for military campaigns. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Chen Xing is in a certain position and Tian Xing follows it, it is favorable for military campaigns and can lead to military achievements. It also says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing are divided into male and female, and they enter the same constellation together, the country corresponding to that constellation will gain territory; if they leave the same constellation together, the country corresponding to that constellation will lose territory. The Yellow Emperor's divination says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing fight in the east, it indicates that a minister will replace the ruler; when they fight in the west, it indicates a period of ninety days, and there will be disturbances in the palace of a powerful country. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing meet and fight, if there are armies outside the country, there will certainly be battles; if there are no armies, it indicates internal disorder. It also says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing meet and fight, the country corresponding to the constellation where they meet will have military affairs, with water and earth following each other, and the pass and bridge will be blocked, leading to disorder in that country.

石氏曰：“太白乾辰星西方，有人；東方，大虛有殃，及匹夫。”甘氏曰：“辰星干太白，魚不為化。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出東方，辰星出其下，謂在太白東方；太白出西方，辰星出其後，謂在太白西方；太白、辰星，以初出為先後。”又曰：“太白出東方，辰星亦出東方，太白先出，辰星後出，辰星上過太白而去，臣倍其主者，不出其年。”又曰：“太白、辰星，同日出於東方，東方有兵，同日出於西方，西方有兵。”

The Shi school says: When the star Tai Bai (the planet Venus) is in the west and interferes with Chen Xing (the planet Mercury), it indicates that someone will have troubles; if Tai Bai is in the east and interferes with Chen Xing, it indicates that there will be calamity in the area of the great emptiness, affecting common people. The Gan school says: When Chen Xing interferes with Tai Bai, it indicates that fish will be unable to reproduce. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Tai Bai appears in the east, and Chen Xing appears below it, it means Chen Xing is to the east of Tai Bai; when Tai Bai appears in the west, and Chen Xing appears behind it, it means Chen Xing is to the west of Tai Bai; Tai Bai and Chen Xing are distinguished by which appears first. It also says: When Tai Bai appears in the east and Chen Xing also appears in the east, if Tai Bai comes out first and Chen Xing comes out later, and Chen Xing passes over Tai Bai from above, it indicates that a minister will betray his sovereign, and this will not be verified in the same year. It also says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing appear on the same day in the east, there will be military affairs in the east; if they appear on the same day in the west, there will be military affairs in the west.

《天官書》曰：“辰星不出，太白為客，其出，太白為主人。”《荊州占》曰：“太白、辰星，更迭出入，以為主、客，太白出而辰星不出，太白為客，辰星出而太白不出，辰星為客；而金水俱不出，熒惑為客；無主人有兵，雖盛不合戰。”《黃帝兵法》曰：“太白與辰星俱出東方，西方國大敗；俱出西方，東方國大敗。若客、主人俱了，軍在東方，東方軍敗；在西方，西方軍敗；言其表面軍也，在表者，不善不獲，已軍堅守可也。”

The Tian Gao Shu says: If the planet Chén Xīng does not appear, then the planet Tai Bai will act as the distant guest; if Chén Xīng appears, then Tai Bai will act as the defending host. The Jingzhou Zhàn says: When Tai Bai and Chén Xīng alternate in their appearances, one can determine who is the host and who is the guest: if Tai Bai appears and Chén Xīng does not, then Tai Bai is the guest; if Chén Xīng appears and Tai Bai does not, then Chén Xīng is the guest; if neither the planet of metal nor the planet of water appear, then the planet of fire will be considered the guest. If there is only a guest and no host, even though there are armies, the strength of the army will not lead to battle. The Huang Di Bing Fa says: If Tai Bai and Chén Xīng both appear in the east, the western country will suffer a great defeat; if they both appear in the west, the eastern country will suffer a great defeat. If both the guest and the host are clearly defined, and the army is in the east, the eastern army will be defeated; if the army is in the west, the western army will be defeated—this refers to exposed armies. Those in exposed positions, if not skilled in warfare, will gain nothing, and their own army should remain in defense without engaging.

石氏曰：“辰星與太白俱出東方，皆赤而角、倍，海國大敗，中國大勝；其與太白俱出西方，皆赤而角，中國大敗，倍海國大勝。（倍海國，夷秋也。）一曰皆黑色，水國利。”《荊州占》曰：“太白、辰星俱郵東方，俱出西方，客主相見，有軍必戰，無軍起軍。”又曰：“太白出，辰星右走居太白前，主人小利，逐入之主大利；太白出，辰星左走居太白前，客小利，逐入之客大利；留有兵，兵罷。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Chen Xing and Tai Bai appear together in the east, both red with a halo, it indicates a great defeat for the countries by the sea, and a great victory for the Central Plains. If they appear together in the west, both red with a halo, it indicates a great defeat for the Central Plains and a great victory for the countries by the sea. The original commentary says: the countries by the sea refer to the夷狄. Another view is that if both stars appear black, the country associated with water will benefit. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing appear together in the east or together in the west, it indicates that the host and the guest meet, and if there are armies, there will certainly be a battle; even without armies, there will be military action. It also says: if Tai Bai appears and Chen Xing moves to the right ahead of Tai Bai, the defending side gains a small advantage, while the attacking side gains a great advantage. If Tai Bai appears and Chen Xing moves to the left ahead of Tai Bai, the distant guest gains a small advantage, while the attacking guest gains a great advantage. If both stars remain stationary, even if there are military matters, they will cease.

又曰：“太白出辰星北，客利；辰星出太白北，主大利；並出東方利，以西伐；並出西方利，以東伐。”又曰：“太白出，辰星居其後，二十日兵起；辰星居其前，十五日兵罷；居其右，去之三尺，有軍必戰，客將死；居其左，兵闕一人吏死。”又曰：“辰星居太白前，則兵罷；居後，則兵起；居陽，則利客，居陰，則利主人。”石氏曰：“辰星居太白前，旬三日，軍罷；出太白後，兵起。”

It is also said that when the star Tai Bai appears north of the star Chen Xing, a distant army will be advantageous; when Chen Xing appears north of Tai Bai, the defending general will have great advantage. If both stars appear together in the east, it is favorable for waging war to the west; if they appear together in the west, it is favorable for waging war to the east. It is also said that when Tai Bai appears and Chen Xing is behind it, an army should be mobilized within twenty days; if Chen Xing is ahead of Tai Bai, the army should disband within fifteen days; if Chen Xing is to the right of Tai Bai, with a distance of three feet, there will certainly be a battle, and the commander of the guest army will die; if Chen Xing is to the left of Tai Bai, the defending army will suffer losses, and one military officer will die. It is also said that when Chen Xing is ahead of Tai Bai, the army should disband; when Chen Xing is behind Tai Bai, the army should be mobilized; when Chen Xing is on the southern side (the yang side), it is favorable for the guest army; when Chen Xing is on the northern side (the yin side), it is favorable for the defending army. The Shi school says that when Chen Xing appears thirteen days before Tai Bai, the army will disband; when Chen Xing appears after Tai Bai, the army should be mobilized.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星遇，太白避之，主人畏客；又曰天下有兵。太白在東方，辰星居其前而不去，十五日，若二十日而入，陰兵滅；不，大戰；辰星去，兵罷。又曰天下有兵。辰星在西方，居太白之前，十五日若二十日而入，陽兵滅，客去。”又曰：“天下無兵，辰星太白俱出西方，辰星居太白之前，相近，間可含劍，（蘇林曰：含音函，函容也，其間可容一劍也。）在酉北，陰國有兵謀；在酉南，陽國有兵謀；其不相近，兵官有滅者。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star Tai Bai meets the star Chen Xing, if Tai Bai yields to Chen Xing, it indicates that the ruler of the territory fears the distant guest; it also indicates that there will be military conflicts throughout the realm. If Tai Bai is in the east and Chen Xing is ahead of it without departing, and after fifteen or twenty days it disappears, it indicates that the forces of the Yin side are destroyed; if it does not disappear, there will be a great battle; if Chen Xing departs, then the war will cease. It also says that there will be military conflicts throughout the realm. If Chen Xing is in the west and is ahead of Tai Bai, and after fifteen or twenty days it disappears, it indicates that the forces of the Yang side are destroyed and the guest army retreats. It also says: When there is no military conflict in the realm, Chen Xing and Tai Bai appear together in the west, with Chen Xing ahead of Tai Bai, and the two stars are very close, with a gap that can fit a sword. The original commentary cites Su Lin saying: "Hán" is read as "Hán", meaning to contain, indicating that the space between the two stars can fit a sword. If the two stars are located to the north of the You position, the territory of the Yin side has military plans; if they are located to the south of the You position, the territory of the Yang side has military plans; if the two stars are not close, it indicates that there will be executions among the military officials.

郗萌曰：“太白辰星在酉北，北國之事也；在酉南，南國之事也；正在酉，則中國之事也；正在卯，則陽國之事也。”《荊州占》曰：“有軍，太白辰星俱出一方，同面異宿，客主人來會，敵軍雖近，勢未戰，宿乃逐，不同合，各自罷。”又曰：“有軍，太白出東方，辰星出西方；若太白出西方，辰星出東方，格野雖有兵，軍不戰。”石氏曰：“辰星出而與太白不相從，雖有軍，不戰。”

Xi Meng said: Tai Bai and Chen Xing in the north of You position indicate affairs of the northern country; in the south of You position, affairs of the southern country; directly at You position, affairs of the central country; directly at Mao position, affairs of the Yang Fang country. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: when there is an army, Tai Bai and Chen Xing appear in the same direction, facing the same way but residing in different star mansions, indicating that both sides will come to meet; although the enemy is close, the battle has not yet begun; when the two stars follow each other in the mansions and no longer meet, both sides will cease hostilities. It also says: when there is an army, Tai Bai appears in the east while Chen Xing appears in the west, or Tai Bai appears in the west while Chen Xing appears in the east, then although there are troops on the battlefield, there will be no battle. The Shi school says: when Chen Xing appears but does not follow Tai Bai, even if there is an army, there will be no battle.

《海中占》曰：“辰星與太早合東方，天下兵大起，盛而不戰，裂地相賂為利。”甘氏曰：“辰星與太白合，為變謀，為兵憂。”（班固《天文志》曰：孝景元年正月癸酉，金水合於婺女，其三年，吳楚、膠西、膠東、藺川、濟南、趙七國反，軍敗散走。又《宋書天文志》曰：孝武大明三年四月，金水合於西方，時竟陵王謀反，遣羽林軍攻戰，其應也。）

The book "Sea Divination" says: When the water star and the bright star meet in the east, the whole country will start large-scale military campaigns. Although the military strength is strong, there will be no actual fighting, and both sides will exchange territories to seek benefits. The Gan school says: When the water star and the bright star meet, it indicates a change in plans and worries about military affairs. The original book's marginal notes cite Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records" which says: In the first month of the first year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, on theGuiyou day, the bright star and the water star met in the Girl mansion; by the third year of Emperor Jing, the seven states of Wu, Chu, Jiao Xi, Jiao Dong, Zi Chuan, Jiao Nian, and Zhao rebelled, and their armies failed and scattered. It also cites the "Book of Song · Astronomical Records" which says: In the fourth month of the third year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty, the bright star and the water star met in the west; at that time, Prince Jingling plotted a rebellion, and the court sent the Yu Lin army to attack, which was the fulfillment of this prediction.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星相去二尺若一尺，破軍殺將；其從前，大病；從旁，小病；與太白相薄，戰其先起兵，凶。”又曰：“辰星與太白不相近，三四尺於東方，辰星二十日不入，至三十日，東南國有兵，不戰；期至春、夏，有兵。”又曰：“辰星與太白不相近於西方，二十日至三十日，辰星不及，入西方，北國有兵。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star and the morning star are two feet or one foot apart, it indicates the vanguard star and the expenditure star will kill the general; if the morning star approaches the bright star from in front, it signifies a serious illness; if it approaches from the side, it indicates a minor illness; if they approach each other closely, then whoever initiates the military action will suffer misfortune. It also says: If the bright star and the morning star are three or four feet apart in the east but not close, and the morning star does not set for twenty days up to thirty days, it indicates military affairs in the southeast, but there will be no actual battle; the fulfillment of the prediction will occur in spring or summer, when the military conflict will arise. It also says: If the bright star and the morning star are far apart in the west but not close, and the morning star does not set for twenty days up to thirty days, it indicates military affairs in the north.

又曰：“辰星與太白相近，三尺四尺於西方，二十日至三十日，軍戰；辰星相遠，不戰。”郗萌曰：“辰星隨太白於西方，天下無兵兵起，期六月，天下有兵，客利；相去間可四尺，客兵愈相遠，不戰；兵軍未解，辰星退而罷。”郗萌曰：“太白與辰星合，邊有兵。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝殤元興元年，閏七月辛亥，水金二星合於一舍，其年遼東貊人反抄六縣發上谷漁陽右北平遼西馬桓討之。）

Another divination passage states: When the planet of water (Chen Xing) and the planet of metal (Tai Bai) are close to each other in the western sky, with a distance of three or four chi (one chi is approximately one degree), warfare will occur within twenty to thirty days. If the two stars are far apart, there will be no warfare. Xi Meng says: When the planet of water follows the planet of metal in the west, war will break out even in a time of peace, and this will happen within six months. If there is already warfare, the invading army will gain advantage. When the two stars are about four chi apart, the strength of the invading army increases. The farther apart the two stars are, the less likely warfare will occur. When the war is not yet over, if the planet of water retreats, the warfare will cease. Xi Meng also says: When the planet of metal and the planet of water are in conjunction, there will be warfare at the borders. (Note from the original text: According to司马彪's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records," in the first year of Yuan Xing of Emperor Shangdi of the Han dynasty, on the leap month of July, on the day of Xinhai, the planets of water and metal appeared in the same constellation. That year, the Mo people of Liao Dong rebelled, plundering six counties. The court mobilized troops from the four commanderies of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi, known as the "Ma Huan" (which is actually the Huo Hu).)

石氏曰：“太白辰星聚於一舍，天下小旱，其下之國，必以重德致天下，守之三十日，不去，其草木皆傷，五穀滅亡。”陳卓曰：“太白與辰星舍箕，用事者坐之。”《洪範傳》曰：“金水合婺女，有變謀，為兵憂。”《二十八宿山經注》曰：“太白辰星同守昴，不出百日，趙君為人所囚，大臣相戮。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Tai Bai and the star Chen Xing gather in the same mansion, there will be a minor drought throughout the land; the country corresponding to this mansion will certainly be able to win the allegiance of the world through its great virtue. If these two stars remain in this mansion for thirty days without departing, then all grass and trees will be harmed, and the five grains will be completely ruined. Chen Zhuo says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing share the same mansion of Ji, the person in power will be punished for this. The "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: When the planet Jin Xing and the star Shui Xing meet in the mansion of Wu Nu (which is the same as Nu), there will be plots of turmoil, which is a worry of military disaster. The "Ershiba Xu Shan Jing Zhu" says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing both stay in the mansion of Mao, within a hundred days, the king of Zhao will be imprisoned, and the ministers will fight each other. This is because the territory corresponding to the mansion of Mao is Zhao, so the prophecy will be fulfilled in Zhao.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星合，太白為主人，辰星為客，則有兵戰，客勝；若辰星環繞太白，大戰，主人偏將死，抵太月，主人大將死。”又曰：“太白出，辰星從之，急，相去一尺，兵起大戰，光芒相及，若摩之其下有數萬人戰，客勝，主人軍敗。”又曰：“辰星隨太白於西方，環繞居抵，太白居酉北，則陰國起兵；居酉南，則陽國起兵；期六月，兵在外則戰，客利。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star Tai Bai and the star Chen Xing meet, Tai Bai represents the host side that is defending, and Chen Xing represents the guest army that is attacking, so there will be warfare, and the guest army will win. If Chen Xing circles around Tai Bai, there will be a great battle, and a subordinate general of the host side will die in battle. If Chen Xing confronts "Tai Yue" (which is likely a miswriting of "Tai Bai"), then the main general of the host side will die in battle. It also says: After the appearance of Tai Bai, if Chen Xing quickly follows and approaches closely, with a distance of one foot between them, there will be a great military campaign. If the light of the two stars touches each other, as if they are rubbing against each other, then there will be warfare involving tens of thousands of soldiers in the area corresponding to their positions, with the guest army winning and the host army retreating. It also says: If Chen Xing is in the west following Tai Bai, circling and approaching closely, and Tai Bai is located to the north of the position of You (the western direction), then the country of the Yin side will raise an army. If Tai Bai is located to the south of the position of You, then the country of the Yang side will raise an army. The predicted time is six months, and if the army is already stationed outside, there will be warfare, and the guest army will gain the advantage.

石氏曰：“辰星來，抵太白不去，將死，正旗所出，破軍，殺將，客勝。（《天官書》曰：不出，客亡地也。）視旗所指，以命破軍。”又曰：“辰星摩太白左，大戰，主人與吏死；摩太白右，萬人戰，主人勝。”《文耀鉤》曰：“辰星摩太白，入相傾。”（宗伯曰：摩，謂光相及也；傾，壞敗也。）巫咸曰：“太白與浼星斗，不出其年。國臣反。”

The Shi school says: When the star of the hour (Chen star) approaches the star of the bright warrior (Tai Bai) and remains close for a long time, the general will die. If the star's light resembles a flag, the side from which the flag's light originates will break the enemy's army and kill the enemy's general, and the guest army will win. (The original book's note citing the "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials" says: If the flag's light does not appear, the guest army will lose territory.) Observing the direction pointed by the flag's light determines which army will be defeated. It also says: When the Chen star rubs against the left side of the Tai Bai star, there will be a great battle, and the officials of the host side will die in battle; if it rubs against the right side of the Tai Bai star, there will be a battle involving tens of thousands, and the host side will win. The "Wen Yao Gou" says: When the Chen star rubs against the Tai Bai star, the chief minister who enters the court will be ruined and destroyed. (Original note: The "Zong Bo" says, "Mo" refers to the two stars' lights touching each other; "qing" means destruction and ruin.) Wu Xian says: When the Tai Bai star and the "Mai star" (i.e., the Chen star) fight, it will not be more than a year before the ministers of the country rebel.

《天官書》曰：“太白與辰星斗，必有大戰，客勝，主人與吏死。”《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星合斗，有軍在外，大戰流血；兵在外，則有內亂。”《春秋緯》曰：“辰星圍太白，若與斗，大戰；過太白，間可容劍，小戰；出太白，右軍急；青角，兵憂；黑角，水流。”甘氏曰：“辰星與太白合斗，亢旱。”

The Records of the Grand Historian: The Book of Celestial Officials says: When the star Tai Bai (Venus) and the star Chen Xing (Saturn) clash, there will certainly be a great battle, with the guest army winning and the officers of the host army dying in battle. The Jingzhou Divination says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing meet and clash, if there are armies outside the country, there will be a great battle with bloodshed; at the same time, there will also be internal disturbances within the country. The Spring Orbit says: When Chen Xing circles around Tai Bai or clashes with it, there will be a great battle; if Chen Xing passes over Tai Bai, and the space between them is only as narrow as a single sword, there will be a small-scale battle; if Chen Xing emerges from outside Tai Bai, then the right wing of the army will be in danger. If the stars emit a green glow, it indicates military worries; if they emit a black glow, there will be great flooding. The Gan school says: When Chen Xing and Tai Bai meet and clash, there will be a severe drought.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星與太白相逢而斗，辰星不勝，燕、趙、代有憂。”又曰：“辰星與太白斗，其分有反臣，期不出三年。”又曰：“辰星與太白斗，太白分散，客軍勝；秦國有憂。若辰星分散，主人軍勝，燕、代有憂。”又曰：“太白環繞辰星，若與太白牴觸，一尺容劍，破軍殺將，主人勝。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Chén Xīng (Venus) meets and fights with Tàibái (Mars), Chén Xīng cannot win, and the regions of Yān, Zhào, and Dài will suffer calamity. It also says: When Chén Xīng and Tàibái fight, there will be a rebellious minister in the region corresponding to their positions, and the time of the event will not exceed three years. It further says: When Chén Xīng and Tàibái fight, if Tàibái's light disperses, the guest army will win, and the state of Qín will suffer calamity—since Tàibái's region corresponds to Qín. If Chén Xīng's light disperses, the host army will win, and the regions of Yān and Dài will suffer calamity. It also says: When Tàibái circles around Chén Xīng, or when the two stars clash, and they are one chi apart, with only a single sword fitting between them, this indicates the enemy army will be defeated and the enemy general will be killed, and the host army will win.

石氏曰：“免星入太白中，五日而出，反入而上出，破軍殺將，客勝；下出，客亡地三百里。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星入太白中復出，有君死。”又曰：“太白守辰星，其國君死。”又曰：“辰星從太白，相守，其間可含劍，有數萬人戰其下。”

The Shi school says: When the star of the constellation 'Mian' (another name for the star 'Chen') enters the light of the star 'Tai Bai', and five days later exits; if it enters again and exits from above, it indicates the enemy army will be defeated and their general killed, and the guest army will win; if it exits from below, the guest army will lose land of three hundred li. The 'Jingzhou Divination' says: When the star 'Chen' enters the light of 'Tai Bai' and then exits, there will be the death of a king. It also says: When 'Tai Bai' stays near 'Chen', the king of the corresponding region will die. It also says: When 'Chen' follows 'Tai Bai', and the two stars guard each other, with the space between them only able to fit a single sword, there will be a battle involving tens of thousands of soldiers in the corresponding region.

石氏曰：“歲星，他名曰攝提；一名重華；一名應星；一名經星。”《天官書》曰：“歲星一名紀星；又曰歲星；廟也。”《春秋緯》曰：“春精靈威仰神為歲星體，東方青龍之宿。”石氏曰：“歲星，木之精也，位在東方，青帝之子，歲行一次，十二年一周天，與太歲相應，故曰歲星。人主之象，主仁，主義，主德，主大司農，主次相，其國吳、齊，齊春日，甲乙其辰，寅卯所在之邦，有福。”

The Shi school says: The star of the year (which is Jupiter) is also called "She Ti", "Chong Hua", "Ying Xing", and "Jing Xing". The "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials" says: The star of the year is also called "Ji Xing", which is also called the star of the year. It is a star that represents the ancestral temples in the heavens. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: The vital energy of spring and the Eastern Emperor "Ling Wei Yang" deity transforms into the form of the star of the year, belonging to the seven stars of the Azure Dragon in the East. The Shi school says: The star of the year is condensed from the vital energy of wood, located in the East, and is the son of the God of the East. It travels through one "zhi" (one of the twelve divisions of the Yellow Path, such as Xing Ji and Xuan Xiao) each year, and completes a full circle around the sky in twelve years, corresponding one by one with the heavenly official known as the Great Year. Therefore, it is called the "star of the year". It symbolizes the sovereign, governing benevolence, righteousness, and virtue. In terms of officials, it corresponds to the Grand Minister of Agriculture and the deputy prime minister. The states it governs are Wu and Qi, the season it governs is spring, the day stems it corresponds to are Jia and Yi, and the earthly branches are Yin and Mao. The state where the star of the year is located will be prosperous.

石氏曰：“歲星主顏貌怒、喜，意所欲施行。”《合誠圖》曰：“歲星主含德。”《洪範五行傳》曰：“歲星者，於五常為仁、恩、德、孝、慈，於五事為貌、威、儀、舉、動，仁虧貌失，逆春令，則歲星為災。（案班固《天文志》曰：逆春令傷木氣，則罰見歲星。）雖主福德，見惡逆則怒，為殃更重。”

The Shi school says: The star of years governs a person's appearance and expression, whether they are angry or happy, and the matters they intend to carry out. The "Hecheng Tu" says: The star of years governs the hidden virtue. The "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan" says: Among the five constants, the star of years corresponds to benevolence, kindness, virtue, filial piety, and compassion; among the five affairs mentioned in the "Shangshu · Hongfan," it corresponds to appearance, authority, ceremony, demeanor, and movement. If benevolence and virtue are lacking, and appearance is improper, violating the proper policies of spring, the star of years will manifest calamities. (Original book note: According to Ban Gu's "Hanshu · Tianwen Zhi," violating the spring season harms the wood element, and the punishment is manifested through the star of years.) Although the star of years governs virtue and fortune, whenever it encounters evil and rebellious matters, it becomes angry, and the calamities it brings are even more severe.

《淮南子》曰：“東方木也，木入地而生也。其神太皞，（天神五帝，太皞主東方。）其佐勾芒，執規而治春，（規者，圓也）其神為歲星，其獸為青龍，其音角，其日甲乙。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星主春，農官也；其神上為歲星，主東維。”又曰：“主歲五穀。”又曰：“歲星主司天下諸侯人君之過。”《天鏡》曰：“歲星主春，蒼帝之子，為天佈德。”

The *Huainanzi: Astronomical Treatise* says: The East belongs to wood, and grass and trees take root in the soil before they sprout. The deity of the East is Taihao (the original note says: among the five deities of heaven, Taihao governs the East). Assisting him is the official of wood, Goumang, who holds a compass and governs spring (the original note says: compass means circle). In the sky, it corresponds to the planet Jupiter, the corresponding divine beast is the Azure Dragon, the corresponding five tones is the Jue tone, and the corresponding day stems are Jia and Yi. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: Jupiter governs spring, and is the heavenly agricultural official; its deity corresponds to Jupiter, governing the East dimension. It also says: it governs the harvest of the five grains in a year. It also says: Jupiter oversees the examination of the faults of the feudal lords and the sovereign. The *Tianjing* says: Jupiter governs spring, is the son of the苍帝 (Emperor of the Azure), and represents heaven in bestowing virtue and blessings.

石氏曰：“歲星所在之國，不可伐，可以伐人。”甘氏曰：“邦將有福，歲星留居之。”《淮南子》曰：“歲星之所居，五穀豐昌；其對為沖，歲乃有殃。”《荊州占》曰：“曰：“歲星所居之宿，其國樂，所去宿，其國飢；又曰所從野，有慶；所去，起兵。又曰：歲星居交順常，其國不可以加兵，可以伐無道之國，伐之必克。又曰歲星所留之舍，其國五穀成熟。”石氏曰：“歲星，君之象也。”《石氏占》曰：“歲星象主，色慾明潤。”

The Shi school says: The country corresponding to the position of the star of years (Sui Xing) cannot be attacked, but instead one can use its power to attack others. The Gan school says: When a state is about to receive blessings, the star of years will stay in its corresponding area. The Huainanzi says: Where the star of years resides, the five grains will be abundant; the opposite direction is called "Chong," and that direction will suffer calamity in that year. The Jingzhou Divination says: The country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years resides will have peace and happiness; the country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years has left will suffer famine. It also says: The country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years moves to will have joy, while the country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years leaves will have military action. It also says: When the star of years moves smoothly and conforms to the usual course, the country corresponding to its position cannot be attacked, but one can use its power to attack an unjust state, and the attack will surely succeed. It also says: The country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years stays will have matured grains. The Shi school says: The star of years symbolizes the ruler. The Shi Divination says: Since the star of years symbolizes the ruler, its color should be bright and moist.

《洪範五行傳》曰：“歲星以上元甲子歲，十一甲子朔旦冬至夜半甲子時，與日月五星俱起於牛前五度，順二十八宿右行，十二歲而一周天。”（案曆法歲星一見，三百六十三日而伏，三十五日一千三百三十分日之一千一百六十二奇四十五復見如初，一終三百九十八日一千三百四十分日之一千一百六十二奇四十五，眾家之說皆云十二年而一周天，唯此微為疏矣。）

The "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan" says: In the first year of the Jiazi cycle, which is the eleventh Jiazi, when the winter solstice occurs at the beginning of the lunar month, at the midpoint of the night, the star of years (Su Xing) together with the sun, moon, and five planets starts from five degrees before the Ox mansion, and moves eastward (rightward) in the order of the twenty-eight mansions. It completes a full circle around the sky in twelve years. (Original book note: According to the calendar calculation, after the Su Xing appears once, it disappears after 363 days, and then reappears after 35 days and 1330/1162 of a day plus 45 small fractions. A complete synodic period is 398 days and 1340/1162 of a day plus 45 small fractions. All schools of thought say that it takes twelve years to complete a full circle around the sky, but when compared with this calculation, the twelve-year period is somewhat approximate.) The actual time for the Su Xing to complete a full circle around the sky is slightly shorter than twelve years. Over time, it will advance into the next star position ahead of schedule, which is what is referred to later as "chao chen" (overtaking a star). This is precisely why the integer statement of "twelve years for a full circle" is not precise enough.

《河圖洛書》曰：“歲星日行十二分度之一，十二歲而周天，出東方以晨，入西方以昏。”甘氏曰：“歲星凡十二歲而周，皆三百七十日而夕入於西方，三十日復晨出於東方，視其進退左右，以占其妖祥。”甘氏曰：“歲星所居處，安靜中度，吉。”《天官書》曰：“歲星出，東行十二度百日而止，反逆行八度，百日復東行。”

The Yellow River Chart and Luo Writing say: The star of years moves one twelfth of a degree each day, completing a full circle around the sky in twelve years; it rises in the east in the morning and sets in the west in the evening. The Gan school says: The star of years completes a full circle in twelve years, and each time it sets in the west in the evening, it will reappear in the east in the morning after thirty days; by observing its movement forward, backward, left, and right, one can predict auspiciousness and ominous signs. The Gan school also says: When the star of years is in a stable and regular position, it is a sign of good fortune. The Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Celestial Officials, says: After the star of years appears, it moves eastward for twelve degrees, stops after one hundred days, then retrogrades eight degrees, and after another hundred days, it resumes moving eastward—this forward and backward movement is the normal pattern of planetary stationary and retrograde motion.

巫咸曰：“歲星受制，則行柔惠；進群賢、封有功、出財貨、行賑貸、禁開闔、通障塞、無伐木。”《尚書緯》曰：“時五紀；氣在於春紀，可以觀農桑，禁斬伐，以安國家；如是，則歲星得度，五穀滋矣。政失於春，星不居其常。”《樂動聲儀》曰：“角度和調，則歲星常應太歲；月建以見，則發明至，為兵備。”（發明，金精烏也，金既克木，又兵象也。）

Wu Xian said: When the star of years is restrained and moves in harmony, the sovereign should implement gentle and benevolent policies: appoint many virtuous officials, grant fiefs to meritorious ministers, distribute wealth, provide relief and loans, prohibit arbitrary opening and closing of borders, clear blocked roads, and refrain from cutting down trees. The "Book of Documents - The Heavenly Mandate" says: The annual seasons are divided into five categories, and when the seasonal divisions are appropriate for the spring category, one should inspect agriculture and sericulture, prohibit cutting down trees, to stabilize the state; by doing so, the star of years will move in its regular course, and the five grains will flourish accordingly. If the policies of spring are improper, the star of years will not remain in its usual position. The "Book of Music - The Movement of Sounds" says: When the tone of Jue is harmonious and orderly, the star of years will often correspond with the sovereign star; if the month builder god appears, then "invention" occurs, and one should prepare in advance for military affairs. (Original book note: "Invention" refers to a bird formed from the essence of metal, which symbolizes both the power of metal to overcome wood and the image of military weapons.)

《荊州占》曰：“歲星居舍，進退如度，其國有福；王者吉，奸邪息。”又曰：“人君治急，歲星行疾；緩者，行遲；刻者，行陰道；寬者，行陽道；和者，行中道。行陽道者，旱；行陰道者，水；行中道者，陰陽調和。又曰：歲星行正，則王者心正；行邪；則人主心邪。行正者，行黃道也；行邪者，失黃道也。又曰：君行寬，則歲星行陽道，多旱，王者外其心，憂在邊臣，封寵無功之人。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star of the year is in its proper place and moves forward and backward in accordance with the usual course, the country under its influence will be blessed, the king will be auspicious, and wicked deeds will be quelled. It also says: When the ruler governs with urgency, the star of the year moves quickly; when he governs with leniency, the star moves slowly; when he is harsh, the star travels along the northern path of the Yellow Path; when he is kind, it travels along the southern path; and when he is balanced, it travels along the central path. Traveling along the southern path brings drought, traveling along the northern path brings floods, and traveling along the central path signifies harmony between yin and yang. It also says: When the star of the year moves straight, it indicates the ruler's mind is upright; when it moves crookedly, it indicates the ruler's mind is not upright. By "moving straight" it means following the Yellow Path; by "moving crookedly" it means deviating from the Yellow Path. It also says: When the ruler's governance is overly lenient, the star of the year travels along the southern path, resulting in frequent droughts. At this time, the ruler's thoughts are outward, his worries fall upon the ministers of the border regions, and he will reward and favor those without merit.

甘氏曰：“凡歲星所在，不可伐，假令歲星在寅，則其歲不可東北征，利西南；西南無年有亂民，是為歲星之沖，常受其凶也。十二歲皆放此。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星歲行一次，居二十八宿，與太歲應，十二歲而周天。太陰居維辰，歲星居維宿二，太陰居仲辰，歲星居仲宿三。”

The Gan school says: wherever the year star is located, that region should not be attacked. Suppose the year star is in the寅 position, then in that year, it is not advisable to wage war in the Northeast, but favorable to attack in the Southwest. The Southwest will have poor harvests and people's troubles, because that is the 'conflict' position of the year star, which often brings misfortune. This applies for twelve years in succession. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: the year star travels through one "zhi" each year, successively residing in the twenty-eight constellations, corresponding to the cycle of the sovereign star. In twelve years, the year star completes a full circle around the sky. When the Wealth star (i.e., the sovereign star) is in the four cardinal directions (丑寅, 辰巳, 未申, 戌亥), the year star resides in the two constellations under the cardinal direction's jurisdiction. When the Wealth star is in the four intermediate directions (子午卯酉), the year star resides in the three constellations under the intermediate direction's jurisdiction.

《淮南子》曰：“太陰在四仲，則歲星守三宿；（太陰謂太歲也，四仲子午卯酉也，假令歲陰在卯，星守須女、虛、危，故曰三宿也。）太陰在四鉤，歲星行二宿；（四鉤，謂丑寅為一鉤，辰巳為一鉤，未申為一鉤，戍亥為一鉤。假令歲陰在寅，歲星在斗、牛，故曰二宿也。案惡灼曰：太陰在四孟、四季，則歲行二宿也。）二八十六，三四十二；故十二歲而行二十八宿，日行十二分度之一，歲行三十度十六分度之七，十二歲而周。”

The *Huainanzi·Tianwen Xun* says: When the Taiyin is in the four central positions, the star of the year stays for three constellations. (Original note: Taiyin refers to the master star; the four central positions refer to Zi, Wu, Mao, and You. If the star of the year is in Mao, it stays in Xun, Xu, and Wei, hence three constellations.) When the Taiyin is in the four hooks, the star of the year stays for two constellations. (Original note: The four hooks refer to Chou and Yin as one hook, Chen and Si as one hook, Wei and Shen as one hook, and Xu and Hai as one hook. If the star of the year is in Yin, it stays in Dou and Niu, hence two constellations. Also, according to "Evil Burn" — which is likely Jin Zhuo — it says: When Taiyin is in the four firsts and the four ends, the star of the year stays for two constellations.) Two multiplied by eight gives sixteen, three multiplied by four gives twelve, together making twenty-eight. Therefore, twelve years are sufficient for the star of the year to traverse all twenty-eight constellations. The star of the year moves one twelfth of a degree each day, and thirty and seven twelfths degrees each year, completing a full circle around the sky in twelve years.

《春秋緯》曰：“太陰在亥，歲星居角、亢；太陰在子，歲星居氐、房、心；太陰在丑，歲星居尾、箕；太陰在寅，歲星居斗、牽牛；太陰在卯，歲星居須女、虛、危，太陰在辰，歲星居營室、東壁；太陰在已，歲星居奎、婁；太陰在午，歲星居胃、昴、畢；太陰在未，歲星居觜、參、伐；太陰在申，歲星居東井、輿鬼；太陰在西，歲星居柳、九星、張；太陰在戍，歲星居翼、軫；運之常也。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings state: When the Wealth star and Mother star are in the亥 position, the Year Star is in the角 and 亢 positions; when they are in the子 position, the Year Star is in the氐, 房, and 心 positions; when they are in the丑 position, the Year Star is in the尾 and 箕 positions; when they are in the寅 position, the Year Star is in the斗 and 牵牛 positions; when they are in the卯 position, the Year Star is in the须女, 虚, and 危 positions; when they are in the巳 position (the original text says '已'), the Year Star is in the营室 and 东壁 positions—this should follow the order of the辰 position; when they are in the辰 position, the Year Star is in the营室 and 东壁 positions; when they are in the巳 position, the Year Star is in the奎 and 娄 positions; when they are in the午 position, the Year Star is in the胃, 昴, and 毕 positions; when they are in the未 position, the Year Star is in the觜, 参, and 伐 positions; when they are in the申 position, the Year Star is in theWell mansion and Ghost mansion positions; when they are in the酉 position (the original text says '西'), the Year Star is in the柳, 七星 (the original text says '九星'), and 张 positions; when they are in the戌 position, the Year Star is in the翼 and 轸 positions. This is the regular course of the Year Star's movement.

甘氏曰：“歲星處一國，是司歲十二名攝提格之歲。（案李巡曰：“言萬物承陽而起，故曰攝格，格起也。孫炎曰：陽攝，特提攜萬物，使上至。）攝提格在寅，歲星在丑，以正月與建、斗、牽牛、婺女，（案《天官書》與斗、牽牛。石氏曰：在斗、牛，太初曆曰：在營室、東壁，《淮南鴻烈解》曰：太陽在寅，見效中攝提格，其雄為星、舍斗、牽牛。許慎注曰：太陰在天為雄、歲星；在地為太陰。）晨出於東方為日；十二月（宋《準南鴻烈解》曰：以十二月與之晨出東方，東井、輿鬼為對。許慎注曰：東井、輿鬼在未，斗、牽牛，在丑，故為對也。）夕入於西方，其名曰監德；其狀蒼蒼，若有光；其國有德，乃熱泰稷；其國無德，甲兵惻惻；其失次；將有天應，見於輿鬼，（《天官書》曰：應見杓。）其歲早水，而晚旱。（案《淮南鴻烈解》曰：攝提格之歲，早水晚旱，稻疾蠶不登，菽麥昌，民食四升。）

The Gan school says: When the star of brightness and prestige is located in the territory of a particular state, it governs one of the twelve years' names, namely the year of "She Ti Ge." According to Li Xun, this refers to the emergence of all things through the reception of yang energy, hence the term "She Ti Ge," where "Ge" means rising. Sun Yan explains that yang energy gathers and supports all things, enabling them to grow upward. The year of "She Ti Ge" corresponds to the year of Yin. At this time, the star of brightness and prestige rises in the sign of Chou in the morning, and during the first lunar month, it is together with the Dipper mansion, the Ghost mansion, the Ox mansion, and the Girl mansion. According to the "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials," it is with the Dipper and the Ox; the Shi school says it is in the Dipper and the Ox; the "Tai Chu Calendar" says it is in Ying Shi and Dong Bi; the "Huainanzi: Interpretation of the Great Vastness" says that when the sun is in the year of Yin, the year is called "She Ti Ge," and the dominant star is the star of brightness and prestige, which resides in the Dipper and the Ox. Xu Shen notes that in heaven, the dominant star is the star of brightness and prestige, and on earth, it is the wealth star and mother star. The star of brightness and prestige rises in the morning from the east and sets in the west in the evening. The name of the star of brightness and prestige for this year is "Jian De," appearing dark blue and shining with its own light. If the state under its jurisdiction has virtue, millet and foxtail millet will mature; if it lacks virtue, there will be military conflicts and people will be anxious. If the star of brightness and prestige deviates from its proper position, moving earlier or later than it should, there will be heavenly signs appearing in the Ghost mansion. According to the "Celestial Officials Book," such signs appear where the handle of the Dipper points. This year first has floods, then droughts. According to the "Huainanzi: Interpretation of the Great Vastness," the year of "She Ti Ge" first has floods and then droughts, rice has diseases, silkworms have poor harvests, beans and wheat are abundant, and the people each receive four sheng of grain per day.

甘氏曰：“單閼之歲，（案李巡曰：日在卯，言陽氣推萬物而起，故曰單閼，單盡也，閼止也，孫炎曰：本單作殫，釋曰：殫猶中也，閼雍之拘，於此盡申也。）攝提格在卯，歲星在子，與虛危，（《天官書》曰：與婺女、虛、危。《漢書天文志》曰：太初曆在奎，婁。）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍婺女、虛、危，以十二月輿之晨出東方，柳、七星張翼對也。）其狀甚大，有光，若有小赤星附於其側，是謂同盟。兩國或昌或亡，死者不在其鄉，其失次，見於張，其名曰降入，周王受其殃，國斯反服，甲兵惻惻，其歲大水。（《淮南子》曰：單閼之歲，歲和，菽惡，蠶昌，民食五升。）

The Gan school says: In the year of Dan'han, according to Li Xun's explanation, the sovereign star is in the position of卯, which refers to the movement of yang qi propelling all things into activity, hence it is called 'Dan'han'. 'Dan' means completion, and 'han' means stop. Sun Yan explains that 'Dan' was originally written as 'Tan', meaning 'Tan is the middle'. The qi that was previously restrained is now fully extended. The year's yin refers to the position of卯 (the original text says 'Sheshige is in卯', Sheshige is the name for the year of寅, but here it generally refers to the position of the year's yin). The star of years is in the position of子, and is located with Xu and Wei. According to the 'Tian Gao Book', it is with Wu Nu, Xu, and Wei; according to the 'Han Shu · Tian Wen Zhi', it is fixed in Gui and Lou according to the Tai Chu calendar. The star of years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. According to the 'Huainanzi', the star of years resides in Wu Nu, Xu, and Wei, and in the twelfth month, it rises with the star of officialdom in the east, facing Li, Qixing, Zhang, and Yi. Its body is large and luminous; if a small red star is attached to it, it is called 'Tongmeng', and two countries will be one prosperous and one ruined, with the dead not in their native land. If the star of years goes out of its place, the omen appears in Zhang Su, and it is called 'Jiang Ru'. The king of Zhou will suffer calamity, the people will rebel and submit to others, armies will rise, people will be anxious, and there will be great floods in that year. According to the 'Huainanzi', in the year of Dan'han, the harvest is harmonious, beans are scarce, sericulture is prosperous, and each person's daily grain ration is five sheng.

甘氏曰：“執徐之歲，（案李巡曰：‘言蟄之物，皆敷舒而出，故曰執徐，執、蟄也，徐、舒也。’孫炎曰：‘勾者，畢達蟄伏之物，盡敷舒也。’）攝提在辰，歲星在亥，與營室、東壁，（《天官書》曰：以三月與營室東壁。《天文志》曰：太初曆在胃昂。）晨出、夕入，（《淮南子》：‘歲星合營室，東壁，以正月與之晨出東方，翼、軫為對。）其名為搏谷。（《天官書》曰：‘青章、甚韋也。’）其國有德，必數其狀；其失次、見於軫，（石氏曰失次杓。）其名曰青章、其國不利，治兵將有大喪，其歲早旱而晚水。”（《淮南子》曰：‘執徐之歲，早旱晚水，小飢，蠶開，麥熟，民食三升。）

The Gan school says: In the year of Zhixu, the annual star is in the position of Chen, and the star of officialdom is in Hai, sharing the same position with Yingshi and Dongbi. The star of officialdom rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The name of the star of officialdom for this year is "Bo Gu." The state corresponding to this star's domain, if it has virtue, will surely show signs of auspiciousness; if the star goes out of order, the effect will be seen in Chenshou. At this time, the star is called "Qing Zhang," and the state corresponding to its domain will be unfavorable, with great loss in military campaigns. This year will first experience drought and then flood. The Huainanzi says that in the year of Zhixu, there will first be drought and then flood, with some famine, sericulture begins, wheat ripens, and each person receives three sheng of grain per day.

甘氏曰：“大荒落之歲，（李巡曰：‘言萬物皆熾茂，而大出，霍然落落，故曰荒落。’孫炎曰：‘物長大荒無落莫者也。’）攝提在巳，歲星在戍，與奎、婁、胃（《天官書》曰：以四月與奎、婁、胃。《漢天文志》曰：太初曆在伐也。）晨出夕伏，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍奎，婁，以二月之晨，出東方，角、亢為對也。）其名曰路嶂，（《天官書》謂之跰踵。）其狀熊，色有光，其國兵，其君增地，其失次，見於亢，其名曰清明；其下出賊、死主，是歲不可西北征，利東西；東南無軍，有亂民，將有兵作於其旁，執殺其主。”（《淮南子》曰：‘大荒落之歲，有小兵，蠶登，麥昌、菽疾，民食二升也。）

The Gan school says: In the year of Da Huang Luo. (Original note: Li Xun says that in this year, all things are flourishing and abundant, with branches and leaves sparse and falling, hence the term 'Huang Luo'; Sun Yan says that all things are growing large and flourishing, without signs of withering or decay.) The year's Yin refers to the position of Si, and the star of years is in Xu, sharing the position with Gui, Lou, and Wei. (Original note: The "Book of Celestial Officials" says that in the fourth month, the star of years is with Gui, Lou, and Wei; the "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says that according to the Tai Chu calendar, it is fixed at the star of Fa.) The star of years rises in the morning and hides in the evening. (Original note: The "Huainanzi" says that when the star of years is in Gui and Lou, it rises in the east in the morning of the second month, facing Jiao and Kang.) The name of the star of years in this year is "Lu Zhang." (Original note: The "Book of Celestial Officials" calls it "Peng Zhong.") It appears strong and powerful like a bear, with a luminous color; in the territory corresponding to its position, there will be military actions, but the ruler will be able to expand the territory. If the star of years deviates from its course, the effect will manifest in the mansion of Kang Su, at which time it is called "Qing Ming," and in the territory corresponding to its position, there will be bandits and the death of the ruler. In this year, it is not advisable to wage war in the northwest, but it is favorable to wage war in the east and west; although there is no military action in the southeast, there will be people causing disturbances, and there will be military troubles nearby, possibly even capturing the king of the country. (Original note: The "Huainanzi" says that in the year of Da Huang Luo, there are small-scale military actions, sericulture is bountiful, wheat is flourishing, beans have diseases, and the people each receive two sheng of grain per day.)

甘氏曰：“敦牂之歲，（太陰在午，歲名攙抑。郭璞曰：郭牂。《淮南子注》曰：‘則郎切。’升巡曰：‘言萬物皆茂狀，猗移其枝，故曰敦牂；敦茂也，牂狀也。’孫炎曰：萬物茂狀也。）攝提在午，歲星在酉，與畢、昴（《天官書》曰：‘以五月與胃、昴、畢。《天文志》曰：‘太初曆在井，輿鬼也。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：“歲星舍胃、昴，以三月輿之晨出東方，氐、房心，為對。’）其名曰啟明；（《天官書》曰：‘開明，一曰天津。’石氏曰：‘名聲明。’）其狀熊熊，若有光，天下偃兵，唯利二立王，不利治兵，其失次見於房。（石氏曰：失次杓。）其名曰不祥，孽及殷王，禍及四鄉；其歲早旱、晚水。”（《淮南子》曰：‘攙搶之歲，歲大旱，蠶登稻疾，菽麥昌，禾為民食二升。’）

Gan Shi said: In the year of Dun Zhang. (Original note: The Tai Yin is in the position of Wu, and the name of the year is also called 'Chan Yi'. Guo Pu said it should be read as 'Guo Zhang', and the annotation in the 'Huainanzi' gives the pronunciation as 'Ze Lang Chie'. Li Xun said that this refers to the flourishing and vigorous growth of all things, with branches graceful and spreading, hence called 'Dun Zhang', 'Dun' meaning flourishing, and 'Zhang' meaning vigorous. Sun Yan said that it refers to the meaning of flourishing and vigorous growth.) The year's Yin refers to the position of Wu, and the Star of Years is in You, sharing the position with Bi and Mao. (Original note: The 'Tian Guan Shu' said that in May, the Star of Years is with Wei, Mao, and Bi; the 'Hanshu · Tianwen Zhi' said that according to the 'Tai Chu Li', it is located in the Well Mansion and the Ghost Mansion.) The Star of Years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. (Original note: The 'Huainanzi' said that the Star of Years resides in Wei and Mao, and after three months, it rises with the Tai Yin in the east, facing Di, Fang, and Xin.) The name of the Star of Years in this year is 'Qiming'. (Original note: The 'Tian Guan Shu' wrote it as 'Kaiming', also called 'Tianjin'; the Shi school said its name is 'Shengming'.) It shines brightly, as if it has its own light; the world rests from warfare, benefiting the establishment of a king but not the military campaigns. If the Star of Years goes out of order, the omen will appear in the Room Mansion. (Original note: The Shi school said that if the Star of Years goes out of order, it should be in the direction pointed by the handle of the Big Dipper.) At this time, it is called 'Bu Xiang', and the calamity spreads to the Yin King, disaster spreads throughout the land; in this year, there is first drought and then flood. (Original note: The 'Huainanzi' said that in the year of Changan, there was great drought, the silkworm raising was abundant, but rice had disease, beans and wheat were flourishing, and the people had two sheng of grain per day.)

The star of officialdom rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The star of officialdom is called "Zhanglie" (张列) in this year. It is bright and radiant, with a reddish color, and there are no other strange signs. It is favorable for military campaigns and conquering the four directions, and enemies dare not oppose. If the star of officialdom deviates from its course, the omen will appear in the mansion of the Winnowing Basket (箕宿), and at that time it is called "Buyi" (不疑). At this time, common people give birth to children, and father and son make vows to protect each other with their lives. The original commentary says: The Huainanzi mentions that in the year of Xieqia, there were minor military actions, a good harvest of silkworms, flourishing rice, poor harvest of beans and wheat, and each person's daily grain ration was three sheng.

甘氏曰：“涒灘之歲，（郭璞曰：涒音湯昆切，灘音湯干切，李巡曰：言萬物皆脩其精氣，故曰涒灘，孫炎曰：涒灘物吐秀，傾垂之貌也。）攝提在申，歲星在未，與東井、與輿，（《天官書》曰：‘以七月與東井，輿鬼；’《漢天文志》曰：‘太初曆在翼、軫也。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍東井、輿鬼，以五月與之晨出東方，斗、牽牛為對。’）其名曰大晉，其狀昭昭，白色有光，有國其亡，亦不在其鄉，其失次見於牽牛，其名曰小章，不利治兵，其國有誅，必害其王；歲小水雨。”（《淮南子》曰：‘涒灘之歲，歲和小雨行，蠶登菽麥昌，民食三升。’）

The Gan school says: In the year of "Zuo E" (original note: The Huainanzi says "Zuo E" or "Zuo E"; Sun Yan says "E" is read as "E". Li Xun says, when the Tai sui is in You, it refers to the withering of all things, so it is called "Zuo E", "Zuo" means to be desolate, and "E" means flourishing. Sun Yan says, "Zuo E" refers to the falling of fruits and the straightening of branches. ) The year's Yin refers to the position of You (original text says "West"), the Sheng star is in Wu, and is together with Liu, Qixing, and Zhang. (Original note: The Huainanzi says the Sheng star is in Liu, Qixing, and Zhang; The Tian Gao Shu says in August it is together with Liu, Qixing, and Zhang; The Han Shu·Tianwen Zhi says the Tai Chu Li determines it in the Kangle mansion.) The Sheng star rises in the morning and sets in the evening. (Original note: In June, it rises together with Tai Yin in the east, and is opposite Xun, Xu, and Wei.) In this year, the Sheng star is named "Chang Wang", and its shape has芒刺 (spines). Some countries become prosperous, and there is communication of documents from all directions, which is a good omen of tribute. If the Sheng star goes out of order, the verification appears in Xu mansion (original note: The Tian Gao Shu says the verification appears in Wei mansion; the Shi school says if it goes out of order, it should be where the handle of the Big Dipper points). At this time, it is named "Dazhang", although there is drought, it can still flourish, or it may suffer the opposite, and it must fall in its territory. In this year, there is fire, the death of a woman, and many people are sick. (Original note: The Huainanzi says, in the year of Zuo E, there is large-scale warfare, people are sick, sericulture fails, beans and wheat do not bear grain, and each person gets five sheng of grain per day.)

The star of years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The star of years in this year is called "Tian Sui," appearing white and very bright. If its color is more blue, there will be a great plague in the country. If the star of years goes out of order, the effect will be evident in the constellation of Dongbei (东壁).
