石氏曰:“歲星犯營室;犯陽、為陽有急;犯陰、為陰有急。”郗萌曰:“歲星犯營室,有土功之事。”《黃帝占》曰:“歲星入營室,過而去,人主有慶賜之事,天下當有受爵祿者。”郗萌曰:“歲星逆行營室,其君用兵不時;一曰其君不還。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星之營室,田宅大賤。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years invades Encampment Mansion, if it reaches the yang star, there will be urgent difficulties in the yang direction; if it reaches the yin star, there will be urgent difficulties in the yin direction. Xi Meng says: When the star of years invades Encampment Mansion, there will be matters concerning earth and wood construction. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the star of years enters Encampment Mansion, passes through and then departs, the ruler will have rewards and grants, and there will be someone in the world who receives titles and salaries. Xi Meng also says: When the star of years movesretrograde in Encampment Mansion, the ruler will use military force inappropriately; another interpretation says the ruler will go out and not return. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the star of years reaches Encampment Mansion, the prices of fields and houses will drop greatly. Encampment Mansion is also called Encampment Mansion, which governs palaces, military provisions, and earth and wood construction. Its corresponding region is the state of Wei, so the divination statements for this mansion mostly concern palaces, earthworks, and fields and houses.

郗萌曰:“歲星處營室東壁,半赦;其去陽之陰,天下喜,牢中虛。”又曰:“歲星處營室東壁北,入月不移,有兵七十日罷。”又曰:“歲星處營室東,食貴;處南,春食賤;處西南,馬牛賤。”《海中占》曰:“歲星宿營室東,民多徙去;處其北,民有憂。”《北官候》曰:“歲星舍營室,不順正道,其君吏不選者。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years stops between Ying Shi and Dong Bi, there will be partial pardons; if it leaves the Yang position and moves to the Yin position, the whole country will be joyful and the prisons will be empty. He also said: When the star of years stops on the northern side of Ying Shi and Dong Bi and does not move for a month, there will be warfare, and after seventy days the war will cease. He also said: When the star of years stops on the eastern side of Ying Shi, grain prices will rise; when it stops on the southern side, grain prices will be cheap in spring; when it stops on the southwest side, horses and cattle will be cheap. The "Sea Divination" said: When the star of years enters the mansion of Ying Shi on its eastern side, many people will migrate; when it stops on the northern side, the people will have worries. The "Northern Officials' Observation" said: When the star of years enters the mansion of Ying Shi without following the normal path, the ruler will appoint officials without careful selection.

郗萌曰:“歲星出入留舍營室,八十日不下,其地半動;九十日不下,有急令;一曰大將出。”《齊伯五星占》曰:“歲星出入留舍營室,主危。又曰:歲星守之,其國有急令。”《春秋緯》曰:“歲星守營室,天下皆以飢為憂。”《春秋緯》曰:“歲星守營室,其國有急令。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the mansion of Camp, and does not leave for eighty days, half the area will experience earthquakes; if it does not leave for ninety days, urgent government orders will be issued; another view is that a general will go to war. The "Zi Bo Wu Xing Zhuan" says: When the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the mansion of Camp, the ruler will face danger. It also says: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Camp, the country will issue urgent orders. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Camp, the whole world will worry about famine. The "Chun Qiu Wei" also says: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Camp, the country will issue urgent orders.

《孝經內記》曰:“歲星守營室,在其東,有喜事,期四十日應;在其北,民憂,期三十日;在其西,期四月、五月,糴貴,及黍貴十倍,有銅弊之事;在其南,不占。”石氏曰:“歲星守營室,人君施,不加親戚;宮中有火災,人君不安。”巫咸曰:“歲星守營室,為民多病疾。”

The Xiaojing Neji says: When the star of years stays in the constellation of the Encampment, if it is偏 in the eastern side, there will be joyful events, which will occur within forty days; if it is偏 in the northern side, the common people will have worries and troubles, which will occur within thirty days; if it is偏 in the western side, it will correspond to the fourth and fifth months, with a rise in grain prices, and the price of millet will increase tenfold, and there will also be disorder in the copper coinage system; if it is偏 in the southern side, there is no prediction. The Shi school says: When the star of years stays in the constellation of the Encampment, the ruler may have generosity, but it does not extend to his own relatives; a fire will occur in the palace, causing the ruler to be anxious and restless. Wu Xian says: When the star of years stays in the constellation of the Encampment, the common people will suffer from many diseases. Although it is the same character "守" (to stay), different predictions are made based on the direction it is偏 in, resulting in four different interpretations: joy, sorrow, prosperity, and no prediction. This is the system of the Xiaojing Neji school, which determines auspiciousness and misfortune based on the four directions.

《海中占》曰:“歲星守營室,三日以上,王者去正殿,居省室,布恩德,赦有罪,則無咎。”郗萌曰:“歲星守營室,為土功事,糴貴。”又曰:“歲星守營室南,有遷王;一曰立后。”又曰:“歲星守營室,為大人忌,以赦令解之。又曰:歲星守營室,為宮中女有夭死者。”又曰:“歲星守營室中,為后夫人憂。”

The book "Sea Divination" says: If the planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Weiqi for more than three days, the emperor should leave the main hall and retreat to a side chamber for self-reflection, widely distribute kindness and mercy, and pardon criminals, thus avoiding calamity. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter stays in Weiqi, it presages earth and wood construction projects and rising grain prices. It also says: If Jupiter is in the southern part of Weiqi, there will be a king who moves the capital; another interpretation is the appointment of a queen. It also says: When Jupiter stays in Weiqi, the powerful and noble will be wary, and an amnesty should be issued to resolve it. It also says: When Jupiter stays in Weiqi, there will be the death of a woman in the palace. It also says: When Jupiter is in the center of Weiqi, the empress and concubines will face worries. "Shengshi" refers to a side hall outside the main hall; retreating there, distributing virtue and pardoning criminals, is an old practice for the emperor to humble himself in response to heavenly omens.

《玄冥占》曰:“歲星守營室,其年國有得地。”《帝覽嬉》曰:“歲星近守營室,三日以上,王者避正殿,入省室;二十日以上至七十日,王者自整三軍,御賊;天下兵車行。”石氏曰:“歲星犯守營室,君有德者得地歸,與民爵。”郗萌曰:“歲星犯守營室,宮中有夭死,大人皆有土功之事。”《荊州占》曰:“歲星犯守營室,為女有宗廟事,以赦解之。”

The book Xuanming Zhuan says: When the star of years stays in Yingshi, the country will gain territory. The book Dili Xiyu says: When the star of years approaches and stays in Yingshi for more than three days, the emperor should avoid the main hall and retreat to a side chamber; if it stays for more than twenty days up to seventy days, the emperor should personally organize the military to resist bandits, and the whole country's army will be mobilized. The Shi school says: When the star of years invades and stays in Yingshi, a virtuous ruler will gain territory and have people submit, and will bestow titles upon the people. Xi Meng says: When the star of years invades Yingshi, someone in the palace will die prematurely, and the powerful will all start construction projects. The Jingzhou Zhuan says: When the star of years invades Yingshi, there will be temple worship matters on the side of women, and an amnesty will be used to resolve the situation. This entry is similar to the previous one from Hai Zhong Zhuan "avoiding the main hall and staying in the provincial hall," indicating that avoiding the hall, spreading virtue, and issuing an amnesty are common methods of appeasement when Yingshi changes.

The planet Jupiter is said to be in the area of the eastern wall, the seventh position.

《北官候》曰:“歲星入東壁三月,天下男子有慶賀,君受爵祿。”郗萌曰:“歲星逆行東壁,其君決獄不以時,赦令不明。”石氏曰:“歲星居東壁,五穀以水傷。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星舍東壁,人心不寧。”郗萌曰:“歲星舍東壁北,民憂,期二十五日。”

The Northern Officials' Manual says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Wall Mansion for three months, there will be joyous events for men throughout the land, and the ruler will receive titles and honors. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter moves backward in the Wall Mansion, the ruler will judge cases out of season and issue pardons without understanding. The Shi school says: When Jupiter stays in the Wall Mansion, the five grains will be flooded. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When Jupiter enters the Wall Mansion, people's minds will not be at ease. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter enters the Wall Mansion on its northern side, the people will suffer misfortunes, and this will occur within twenty-five days. The Wall Mansion is the same as the mansion of the Wall, which governs literary works and records, and together with the Room Mansion, it symbolizes palace walls and buildings. Therefore, the divination texts often involve scholars, pardons, and construction.

又曰:“歲星出入留舍東壁,五十日不下,大人當之;九十日不下,土功大起;百日不下,國空有徙王。”又曰:“歲星出入留舍東壁,人民流亡,不歸其鄉;三十日不下,五穀貴。”甘氏曰:“歲星守東壁,王者有堯舜之治,四海同心。”

It is also said that when the star of years appears, stays, and enters the dwelling of Dongbi for fifty days without leaving, calamity will fall upon the powerful and noble; if it stays for ninety days, there will be a great flourishing of earth and wood construction; if it stays for a hundred days, the state treasury will be empty and there will be a king who moves the capital. It is also said that when the star of years appears, stays, and enters the dwelling of Dongbi, the people will flee and be unable to return to their homes; if it stays for thirty days, grain will be expensive. The Gan school says that when the star of years stays in Dongbi, the emperor will have the achievements of Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, and the whole world will be united in loyalty.

郗萌曰:“歲星守東壁,人君施不加親戚,宮中有火災,人君不安。”又曰:“歲星守東壁,諸侯相謀。”又曰:“歲星守東壁,為大人衛守。”又曰:“歲星守東壁,為天下兵起;一曰秋兵起。”又曰:“歲星守東壁,為有土功事。”又曰:“歲星守東壁,為歲多晚水。”

Xi Meng said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, the sovereign shows favor not reaching his own relatives, and there is a fire in the palace, causing the sovereign to be restless. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, the princes plot against each other. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, the sovereign adds guards and soldiers for the powerful. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, there will be military actions across the country; another interpretation says the military actions occur in autumn. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, there will be construction projects. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, there will be much rain in the latter part of the year. The Wall Mansion governs palaces and walls, as well as books and documents, so the phenomena of fire, construction, and garrisoning all fall under its name.

《荊州占》曰:“歲星守東壁,去之九寸,守四十日至百四十日,王者好文章,天下舉用文士,不出百八十日。”陳卓曰:“歲星守東壁,天下大赦。”《玄冥占》曰:“歲星守東壁,天下大興,有聖主朝延,君臣天下同心。”《河圖》曰:“歲星逆行守東壁,若成勾已,其君教令不明,人心不寧,木能害土故也。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at Dongbei, and the distance is nine inches, it will remain there for forty to one hundred and forty days. Emperors will favor literature, and the whole country will recommend and employ scholars, and this will be verified within one hundred and eighty days. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter is stationed at Dongbei, the whole country will be pardoned. The *Xuanming Divination* says: When Jupiter is stationed at Dongbei, the whole country will experience great prosperity, there will be a sage emperor on the throne, and the sovereign, ministers, and people will all be in harmony. The *He Tu* says: When Jupiter retrogrades and is stationed at Dongbei, if its path forms a hook shape and stops, the emperor's decrees will be unclear, and people's hearts will be restless — this is because wood overcomes earth. The term 'cheng gou yi' refers to when Jupiter's retrograde path bends like a hook and remains stationary, which ancient people regarded as an ominous sign.

The Kaiyuan Treatise on Astrology, Volume 26

The Star of Years (Jupiter) is associated with four directions.

The planet Jupiter (the Year Star) invades the seven constellations in the western sky.

The planet Jupiter enters the constellation of the Celestial Square.

郗萌曰:“歲星入奎,其年五穀以蟲為害。居其南,春糴賤,牛馬繒帛皆賤;居其西,糴貴,凡物皆貴。民不安。”《海中占》曰:“歲星潤澤,出奎,有善令,變色入奎,有偽令來者;若出奎,有偽令,出使者。”《帝覽嬉》曰:“歲星之奎,有喜慶之事,若有赦令。”石氏曰:“歲星居奎,五穀以水傷;處奎中,有土功之事。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the Legs mansion, the five grains will be damaged by insects. If it resides to the south of the Legs mansion, the price of rice in spring will be cheap, and cattle, horses, and silk will also be cheap; if it resides to the west, the price of rice will be expensive, and all kinds of goods will rise in price, causing the people to be restless. The "Sea Divination" says: When the star of years emerges from the Legs mansion with a bright and beautiful color, there will be good government orders; if it enters the Legs mansion with a changed color, there will be false imperial orders coming; if it emerges from the Legs mansion with a changed color, there will also be false orders, and envoys will be sent. The "Imperial View of Joy" says: When the star of years reaches the Legs mansion, there will be joyful events or imperial pardons will be issued. The Shi school says: When the star of years stays in the Legs mansion, the five grains will be ruined by water; if it stops in the middle of the Legs mansion, there will be construction projects involving wood and earth. The Legs mansion governs canals and waterways, and also military stores and warfare. Its corresponding region is the state of Lu.

郗萌曰:“歲星處奎中,有白衣之會。”《海中占》曰:“歲星處奎中,小赦。”《帝覽嬉》曰:“歲星舍奎南,牛馬繒布帛賤;舍其北,八月兵起,七十二日罷,或至三歲乃罷。”《海中占》曰:“歲星舍奎處其南,春食賤;處其東,糴乍賤乍貴,民移徙,不安;處其西,四月、五月食貴;處其北,民憂。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter stops in the Legs mansion, there will be gatherings with people in mourning clothes. The book "Sea Divination" says: When Jupiter stops in the Legs mansion, there will be small-scale pardons. The book "Imperial Viewing and Enjoyment" says: When Jupiter enters the mansion and stops to the south of the Legs mansion, cattle, horses, silk, and cloth will be cheap; if it stops to the north, there will be military campaigns in August, and the military will cease after seventy-two days, or it may last up to three years. The book "Sea Divination" says: When Jupiter enters the Legs mansion and stops to the south, grain prices will be low in spring; if it stops to the east, rice prices will fluctuate and people will be unsettled; if it stops to the west, grain prices will rise in April and May; if it stops to the north, the people will have worries.

《齊伯五星占》曰:“歲星出入留舍奎,有小旱晚多水雨,居左右者不占,其中者,外客軍且來矣。”《黃帝占》曰:“歲星守奎北,夷來降。”《洛書》曰:“歲石氏曰:“歲星守奎,大飢。”甘氏曰:“歲星守奎,其國道興,王者至仁行,忠臣並進,天下三年而平。”

The Qi Bo Five Stars Divination states: When the planet Jupiter appears, disappears, stays, or enters the Legs mansion, there will first be a minor drought, but later there will be much rain. If Jupiter is located to the left or right of the Legs mansion, no prediction is made; but if it is located in the center, foreign troops will come. The Yellow Emperor's Divination states: When Jupiter is stationed to the north of the Legs mansion, the barbarians will come to submit. The Luo Writing says: Age—here the original text is missing. The Luo Writing entry only has the character 'Age' and then proceeds to the Shi school's statement. The Shi school says: When Jupiter is stationed in the Legs mansion, there will be a great famine. The Gan school says: When Jupiter is stationed in the Legs mansion, the state will flourish, the emperor will practice supreme benevolence, loyal ministers will all be appointed, and the world will become peaceful within three years.

《海中占》曰:“歲星守奎,執法吏多死。”《海中占》曰“歲星守奎,逆行,旱,五穀耗;其順行,色潤澤,即星守天庫,多獄貴人。”又曰:“歲星守天庫,以飢起兵,若有客軍。”又曰:“歲星守奎,為有溝瀆事;一曰有水事。”

The book "Sea Divination" says: When the year star is in the Legs mansion, officials who enforce laws will suffer many deaths. "Sea Divination" also says: When the year star is in the Legs mansion and moves retrograde, there will be drought and poor harvests; if it moves forward, the star's color is moist and bright, which is equivalent to the star being in the Heavenly Storehouse, and many noblemen will be imprisoned. It also says: When the year star is in the Heavenly Storehouse star, there will be rebellion due to famine, or an invading army from outside. It also says: When the year star is in the Legs mansion, there will be projects of digging canals and building dikes; another saying refers to water disasters.

《荊州占》曰:“歲星守奎,王者憂之;一曰大人當之。”又曰:“歲星逆行守奎,女子多死。”《河圖》曰:“歲星入奎中而守之,國有匿謀,有兵起,人主有憂;若大臣當之。”甘氏曰:“歲星逆行入奎而守之,其君好攻戰,兵甲不息,人民流亡,不安其居。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter resides in the mansion of Legs, the emperor will be troubled; another view is that the calamity will fall upon the powerful officials. It also says: When Jupiter moves retrograde and resides in the mansion of Legs, there will be many deaths among women. The *Yellow River Chart* states: When Jupiter enters and resides in the mansion of Legs, there will be secret plots within the country, wars will arise, and the sovereign will face troubles; or the calamity will fall upon the ministers. The Gan school says: When Jupiter moves retrograde and enters and resides in the mansion of Legs, the sovereign will have a fondness for warfare, military campaigns will never cease, and the people will flee, unable to settle. The mansion of Legs is at the head of the White Tiger in the west, originally governing military stores and weapons. When Jupiter moves retrograde and resides there, therefore, all schools of interpretation conclude that there will be secret plots in the country and continuous warfare.

The planet Jupiter is said to be in the constellation娄, the second one.

《荊州占》曰:“歲星入婁,國有聚人,若有喪,期一年。”《海中占》曰:“歲星入居婁中,小赦。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星之婁,牛馬大賤。”郗萌曰:“歲星居婁,五穀以水傷,歲多水。”《海中占》曰:“歲星處婁南,春食賤,牛馬繒帛賤;處其北,八月兵起,七十二日罷,遠期三年。”郗萌曰:“歲星處婁北,有奪地之君;處東,金器貴。”《海中占》曰:“歲星舍婁、胃,去婁、舍奎,有赦。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the star of years enters the mansion of Lou, there will be gatherings within the country or funerals, and this will happen within a year. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the star of years enters and stops in the mansion of Lou, there will be minor pardons. The book Chūnqiū Tú says: When the star of years reaches the mansion of Lou, the prices of cattle and horses will drop sharply. Xi Meng says: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Lou, the five grains will be ruined by water, and there will be much rain in this year. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the star of years stops on the southern side of the mansion of Lou, the grain prices will be low in spring, and the prices of cattle, horses, and silk will also be low; when it stops on the northern side, there will be military campaigns in August, and the campaigns will end after seventy-two days, and in some cases it may take up to three years. Xi Meng says: When the star of years stops on the northern side of the mansion of Lou, there will be a ruler who takes land from others; when it stops on the eastern side, the prices of metal tools will rise. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the star of years enters the mansion of Lou and Wei, and leaves the mansion of Lou to enter the mansion of Kui, there will be an edict of pardon. The mansion of Lou governs parks, livestock, and sacrifices, and also governs gatherings and military campaigns, and its corresponding region is the state of Lu.

《河圖聖治符》曰:“歲星守婁,天下赦。”石氏曰:“歲星守婁,三十日不下,天下平;九十日不下,國有兵,穀貴。”甘氏曰:“歲星守婁,王者承天得度,天下安平。”巫咸曰:“歲星守婁,王者承天位,天下安寧,有慶賀,有兵罷。”司馬彪曰:“歲星守婁,為兵為匿謀。”《海中占》曰:“歲星守婁中,又暈之,大赦;期九十日。”

The River Chart Sacred Governance Symbol says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, the whole country will have a general amnesty. The Shi school says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion for thirty days without leaving, the country will be peaceful; if it stays for ninety days without leaving, there will be warfare within the country and the price of grain will rise. The Gan school says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, the emperor will receive the mandate of heaven in accordance with the law, and the whole country will be peaceful and stable. Wu Xian says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, the emperor will inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven, the whole country will be peaceful, there will be joy and celebration, and warfare will cease. Sima Biao says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, it presages military affairs and secret plots. The Sea in the Middle Divination says: When the year star stays within the Bond mansion and is surrounded by a halo, the whole country will have a general amnesty, and this will occur within ninety days. The Bond mansion originally governs gatherings, so the same word 'stay' can be interpreted either as the emperor receiving the mandate of heaven and the country being peaceful, or as there being warfare within the country and the price of grain rising, depending on the number of days the star remains and the color of the star.

巫咸曰:“歲星守婁,民多疾疫。”郗萌曰:歲星守婁,有土功之事;一曰大熱。”又曰:“歲星守婁,歲多獄貴人。”又曰:“歲星守婁,有死君,歲大飢。”又曰:“歲星守婁,有白衣之會。”《荊州占》曰:“歲星守婁東,有徙民;守其北,有兵;守其西,不占;守其陰,牢空,天下有慶賀。”

Wu Xian said: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, and many people will suffer from epidemic diseases. Xi Meng said: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood; another view says that the weather will be extremely hot. It also says: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, many noblemen will be imprisoned that year. It also says: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, the king will die and there will be a great famine that year. It also says: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, there will be gatherings wearing mourning clothes. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the year star stays at the eastern side of the Bond mansion, there will be migrations of the people; when it stays at the northern side, there will be warfare; when it stays at the western side, no divination is made; when it stays at the shady side, the prisons will be empty and the world will have good news to celebrate. "Staying at its shade" refers to the year star staying at the dark side of the Bond mansion, which is listed together with staying at the east, north, and west, following the old practice of dividing by the four directions.

又曰:“歲星守婁,有德令,牛馬多死,苑囿空虛。”《玄冥占》曰:“歲星守婁,去之五尺以外,守之十五日以上,至三十日,王者出祀四海、山川、百神,不出九十日。”《西官候》曰:“歲星守婁南,春糴賤,牛馬又賤,皆在歲月中;守其東,一貴一賤;守其中,有白衣之會,又有小赦。”

It is also said that when the star of years stays in the mansion of Lou, the imperial court will issue edicts bestowing grace, but many cattle and horses will die, making the royal parks and enclosures empty. The "Xuanming Divination" states that when the star of years stays in the mansion of Lou at a distance of more than five feet and remains for more than fifteen days up to thirty days, the emperor should travel to worship the four seas, mountains and rivers, and all spirits. This should be verified within ninety days. The "Xiguan Hou" says that when the star of years stays to the south of the mansion of Lou, there will be cheap rice and cattle and horses in spring, and these should all occur within the same year; when it stays to the east, prices of goods will fluctuate; when it stays in the center, there will be gatherings in mourning clothes and small-scale pardons. The mansion of Lou originally governs royal parks and sacrificial animals, so the "Xuanming Divination" associates it with worshipping the four seas and mountains and rivers, while the "Xiguan Hou" associates it with cattle, horses and grain prices, each explaining according to the affairs governed by the mansion itself.

《玄冥占》曰:“歲星守婁,六畜大貴,其國尤甚。”《海中占》曰:“歲星逆行守婁;甚其君牢吏,獄斷不以時,人多怨訟,若有赦令。”《感精符》曰:“歲星入婁,犯守之,有白衣眾聚;三十日不下,其國有兵;九十日不下,必有大喪,期三年。”

The Xuanming Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Lou, the prices of livestock will surge greatly, and the country corresponding to the Lou mansion will be particularly affected. The Hai Zhong Divination says: When the planet Jupiter moves retrograde and stays in the mansion of Lou, the ruler's officials in charge of the prison will be overly harsh, and cases will not be decided on time, causing people to have much resentment and lawsuits, and later there may be an amnesty. The Gan Jing Fu says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Lou and invades and stays there, there will be a large number of people in mourning gathering together; if it does not leave within thirty days, the country will have warfare; if it does not leave within ninety days, there will certainly be a great mourning, and it will correspond to a period of three years.

The planet Jupiter (the Star of Years) enters the stomach (the Earthly Branch Wei) three times.

郗萌曰:“歲星犯胃,為天下谷不實;以食為憂。”石氏曰:“歲星經胃、昴、畢,趙水澇,魚行人道。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星之胃,其年早霜。又曰:歲星處胃北,八月兵起,七十二日罷,遠三年。”郗萌曰:“歲星處胃中,有白衣之會;處其南,男子疾,一曰牛馬賤;處其東,民移徙不定,若食貴。又曰:歲星舍胃,是謂去陽之陰;有喜,牢空。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter invades the Stomach mansion, and the grains in the world do not grow full, people worry about food. The Shi school said: The planet Jupiter passes through the three mansions of the Stomach, the昴, and the毕, and the area of Zhao experiences flooding, fish swim on the paths where people walk. The "Spring and Autumn Diagram" said: When the planet Jupiter reaches the Stomach mansion, there will be early frost in that year. It also said: When the planet Jupiter stops at the northern side of the Stomach mansion, there will be military action in August, and the war will end in seventy-two days, but in some cases it may last up to three years. Xi Meng said: When the planet Jupiter stops in the middle of the Stomach mansion, there will be gatherings with mourning clothes; when it stops at the southern side, men will be sick, another interpretation says that cattle and horses will be cheap; when it stops at the eastern side, the people will migrate unpredictably, or grain prices will rise. It also said: When the planet Jupiter enters the Stomach mansion, this is called leaving the yang position and entering the yin position, which indicates good news and the emptying of prisons. The Stomach mansion in the Star of officialdom governs granaries and stored grain, and its corresponding region is Zhao.

《荊州占》曰:“歲星宿之逆行胃,其君不愛五穀。”《齊伯五星占》曰:“歲星入留守胃,國家即妄動土功,事不祥,小人且亡絲綿布帛,有急令。”郗萌曰:“歲星出入留舍胃,兵起,不用;一曰大人有憂;一曰十月小旱。”《巫咸占》曰:“歲星守胃,為兵災,萬物不成。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of the Stomach and moves backward there, the ruler will not cherish the five grains. The *Qibei Five Stars Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter enters and stays in the mansion of the Stomach, the country will rashly start large construction projects, and events will be unfavorable; the common people will lose silk, cotton, and cloth, and there will be urgent decrees. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter appears, stays, or enters the mansion of the Stomach, military affairs may arise but actual warfare will not occur; another interpretation is that the powerful will suffer misfortune; yet another is that there will be a minor drought in October. The *Wuxian Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of the Stomach, it indicates military calamity and the failure of all things to grow.

《黃帝占》曰:“歲星守胃,國以無義失幣;有水旱事。”甘氏曰:“歲星守胃,王者順天德,中畿國昌。”《海中占》曰:“歲星守胃,歲大熱;一曰五穀大熟。”郗萌曰:“歲星守胃,趙兵伐中國。”《荊州占》曰:“歲星守胃,三尺以外,守入二十日,王者開倉廩,大賦天下,轉運不出百八十日。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Stomach mansion, the country suffers losses of wealth due to lack of righteousness; there will also be droughts and floods. The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Stomach mansion, the emperor follows the virtue of Heaven, and the capital region experiences prosperity. The Sea Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Stomach mansion, the weather will be extremely hot; another view is that there will be a great harvest of grain. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Stomach mansion, the State of Zhao will send troops to attack the Central Plains. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Stomach mansion, if it is three feet away, after waiting twenty days, the emperor should open the granary and distribute grain extensively to the whole country, and the transportation of grain will not take more than one hundred and eighty days. The Stomach is the granary of Heaven, so all these interpretations, whether predicting good or bad fortune, focus on storage, relief, and grain prices.

《甄曜度》曰:“歲星入胃,犯守之國,有更令,大人有憂;若有禍殃,必有土功。”郗萌曰:“歲星犯守胃,鄰國有暴兵伐中國者。”《荊州占》曰:“歲星犯胃國,有變更之令,期四月;又曰天下獄空。”陳卓曰:“歲星犯守胃,天下無人。”

The Zhen Yaodu says: When the star of years enters the Stomach mansion, any country it invades or stays in will change its policies, and the powerful will have worries; if calamity comes, it will certainly be accompanied by construction projects. Xi Meng says: When the star of years invades or stays in the Stomach mansion, a neighboring country will attack the Central Plains with force. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the star of years invades the country corresponding to the Stomach mansion's territory, there will be changes in decrees, and the time of occurrence will be four months; it also says that the prisons of the whole country will be emptied. Chen Zhuo says: When the star of years invades or stays in the Stomach mansion, the population of the whole country will be reduced.

《甄曜度》曰:“歲星入昴,胡兵入國,有土功,若有赦令。”郗萌曰:“歲量入昴,天下有白衣之會,期六十日;遠百二十日。”郗萌曰:“歲星入昴中,小赦。”《西官候》曰:“歲星入昴,為金寶貴。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星之昴,棺木大貴。”郗萌曰:“歲星乘昴,若出北者,為陰國憂;若外,王死。”

The book Zhen Yao Du says: When the star of years enters the mansion ofHairy Head mansion, the army of the Hu people invades the country, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood, or an imperial pardon will be issued. Xi Meng says: When the star of years (the original text says 'years measure', which is a miswriting for 'star') enters the mansion ofHairy Head mansion, there will be gatherings where people wear mourning clothes throughout the country, the duration will be sixty days, and if it is far away, it will be one hundred and twenty days. Xi Meng also says: When the star of years enters the middle ofHairy Head mansion, there will be a small-scale pardon. The book Xi Guan Hou says: When the star of years enters the mansion ofHairy Head mansion, the price of gold and silver treasures will rise. The book Chūnqiū Tú says: When the star of years reaches the mansion ofHairy Head mansion, the price of coffins will surge. Xi Meng says: When the star of years passes overHairy Head mansion, if it comes out from the north, there will be worries in the region of the Yin side; if it goes out to the outside, the king will die. The mansion ofHairy Head mansion is also called Maotou and Tianyu, which presages Hu troops and legal cases and mourning events, and its corresponding region is the state of Zhao.

郗萌曰:“歲星居昴、畢間,赤色,大旱;一曰其國有大殃。”又曰:“歲星處昴南,男子病,歲旱早,水晚;處昴北,多暴雨;處昴東,徙民。”又曰:“歲星留之逆行昴,其君殺不辜。”《荊州占》曰:“歲量舍昴處南,有土功,民多口舌。”

Xi Meng said: The star of years stops between the mansion of Hairy Head and the mansion of Net, showing a red color, indicating great drought across the land; another view says that the country will suffer a great calamity. It also says: If the star of years stops to the south of the mansion of Hairy Head, men will fall ill, with drought in the early part of the year and much rain in the later part; if it stops to the north, there will be much heavy rain; if it stops to the east, the people will migrate. It also says: If the star of years stops and moves backward in the mansion of Hairy Head, the ruler will unjustly kill the innocent. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the star of years (the original text says "star of measure") enters the mansion of Hairy Head and stops to the south, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood, and the people will have much verbal disputes.

郗萌曰:“歲星入留舍昴,五十日不下,必有死君,期三歲;若有死將,期四月。”又曰:“歲星出入留舍昴,其年早霜。”《齊伯五星占》曰:“歲星出入留舍昴,胡人以出,其國無兵,禾豆耗,布帛貴。”《黃帝占》曰:“歲星守昴東,糴大貴,三月復;守北,其國有德令。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters, stays, and resides in the mansion of Hairy Head for fifty days without leaving, there must be the death of a king, and this will happen within three years; if it is the death of a general, it will happen within four months. It also says: When the star of years enters, stays, and resides in the mansion of Hairy Head, there will be early frost that year. The "Five Stars Divination of Qi Bo" says: When the star of years enters, stays, and resides in the mansion of Hairy Head, the Hu people will take action, but that country will not have warfare, and there will be a poor harvest of millet and beans, with high prices for silk and cloth. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the star of years stays to the east of the mansion of Hairy Head, the price of rice will rise greatly, and it will recover after three months; when it stays to the north, that country will have a decree of benevolence.

《孝經章句》曰:“歲星守昴在其南,糴一貴一賤,其月土功,有死君,變其政;在其東,金器刀劍貴;在其北,有別離之國,奪地之君,若死;在其西,不占。”甘氏曰:“歲星守昴,王者有德令。昴者,天之囚室,歲星近之,下獄之臣皆有解者,不出四十日。”

The "Commentary on the Classic of Filial Piety" says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Hairy Head and is偏 in the southern direction, the price of rice will suddenly become expensive and then cheap again; during that month, there will be construction activities, and the king will die, leading to changes in the government. If it is偏 in the eastern direction, the price of metal vessels and swords will rise. If it is偏 in the northern direction, there will be separated states, a ruler who seizes land, or someone's death. If it is偏 in the western direction, there will be no prediction. The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Hairy Head, the emperor will issue an edict of benevolence. The mansion of Hairy Head is the prison of heaven; when the planet Jupiter approaches it, all officials in prison will be released, and this will be verified within forty days.

巫咸曰:“歲星守昴,大飢;為萬物不成。又曰:歲星守昴,大旱;多火災,若有兵。”《海中占》曰:“歲星守昴,天倉實。”郗萌曰:“歲星守昴,夷狄勝中國。又曰:歲星守昴北,多暴雨。”又曰:“歲星守昴東,行至天天高復反,至五車邊,兵發;一曰為赦令。”石氏曰:“歲星入,若守天獄,天下獄虛。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, there will be a great famine and all things will not grow properly. He also said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, there will be a severe drought, many fires, or warfare. The book "Sea Divination" said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, the Heavenly Granary star, which governs the granary, will be full. Xi Meng said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, the barbarians will defeat the Central Plains. He also said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed to the north of the Hairy Head mansion, there will be much heavy rain. He also said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed to the east of the Hairy Head mansion, it will move to the Heavenly High star and then turn back, proceeding to the vicinity of the Five Carriage star, indicating military action; another interpretation says it indicates a pardon. The Shi school said: When the planet Jupiter enters or is stationed at the Heavenly Prison star, the prisons across the land will be empty. The Heavenly Prison is another name for the Hairy Head mansion, and the Heavenly High and Five Carriage stars are also near the Hairy Head and Big Dipper constellations, so Xi Meng used the movement of the planet Jupiter in this area to infer military actions and pardons.

《河圖》曰:“歲星犯守昴,大臣有坐法死者,津關吏憂,人民飢多,食草實。”郗萌曰:“歲星中犯乘守昴,為兵,北征於狄;一曰近臣為亂;一曰白衣之會。”甘氏曰:“歲星守昴,王者失禮,陷於刑;大赦除咎。”郗萌曰:“歲星中犯乘守昴,天下有福;一曰近臣為亂。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays in the mansion of Hairy Head, there will be senior officials who die due to breaking the law, officials at ferry crossings and checkpoints will face troubles, and many people will suffer from hunger, eating only seeds to survive. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter invades, dominates, and stays in the mansion of Hairy Head from the center, it indicates military affairs, and the country will march north to attack the Di people; another interpretation is that there will be rebellion among close ministers; yet another is that there will be gatherings in mourning attire. The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Hairy Head, the emperor will have improper conduct, fall into punishment, and must rely on a general pardon to remove the calamity. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter invades, dominates, and stays in the mansion of Hairy Head from the center, the world will have blessings; another interpretation is that there will be rebellion among close ministers.

The planet Jupiter enters the constellation of the Great Bear.

《黃帝占》曰:“歲星犯畢,出其北,為陰國有憂;出其南,為陽國有憂。”《聖洽符》曰:“歲星入畢口,將相憂,大人當之;期不出百八十日。”石氏曰:“歲星入畢中,邊有兵。”巫咸曰:“歲星入畢中,各伺其出日而數之,期二十日為兵發。伺始入處之率,一日期十日,為軍罷。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Net mansion from its northern side, there will be calamity in the Yin region; when it enters from the southern side, there will be calamity in the Yang region. The Sacred Harmony Symbol says: When Jupiter enters the mouth of the Net mansion, ministers will be anxious and worried, and the calamity will affect the powerful, with the occurrence within 180 days. The Shi school says: When Jupiter enters the middle of the Net mansion, there will be warfare at the borders. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter enters the middle of the Net mansion, starting from the day it exits, the occurrence of military action will be within twenty days; if calculated according to its original position of entry, another account says the occurrence will be within ten days, and the army will disband. The Net mansion governs border troops and hunting, as well as rain and water, and its corresponding region is in the states of Wei and Zhao.

郗萌曰:“歲星入畢,為其國易主。”又曰:“歲星入畢中,邊有憂兵。”《西官候》曰:“歲星入畢中,八十日若有百四十日,人君謀兵,大起。”石氏曰:“歲星出畢陽,則旱;出華陰,則水;為政令不行。”郗萌曰:“歲星逆行畢,其君畋獵不時,若徙倚不明,其君不敬祠。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星之畢,有德令。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the Net mansion, the country will change its ruler. He also said: When the star of years enters the Net mansion, there will be military troubles on the borders. The Western Officials' Manual says: When the star of years enters the Net mansion, within eighty days or one hundred forty days, the ruler will plan for military action and launch a large-scale campaign. The Shi school said: When the star of years exits the Net mansion from its southern side, there will be drought; when it exits from the area north of the Huashan mountain, there will be flooding, and the government's decrees will not be effectively implemented. Xi Meng said: When the star of years moves retrograde in the Net mansion, the ruler will hunt out of season, or hesitate and lack clarity, and also be disrespectful towards worship. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the star of years reaches the Net mansion, there will be a decree of benevolence.

郗萌曰:“歲星居畢、昴間,色赤,大旱,國有大殃在王;一曰在民。”又曰:“歲星處畢北,其歲有赦令;有別離之國,奪地之君;一曰歲星處畢南,有土功,男子多疾;早旱,晚水;處畢東,多暴雨,金器刀劍貴。”

Xi Meng said: The star of years stops between Bi Xu and Mao Xu, its color is red, there will be a great drought, the country will suffer a great calamity, which should be on the king; another view says it should be on the common people. It also says: if the star of years stops on the northern side of Bi Xu, there will be an amnesty, there will be separated states and a ruler who takes land; another view says if the star of years stops on the southern side of Bi Xu, there will be construction projects, many men will be sick, drought in the early period and much rain in the later period; if it stops on the eastern side of Bi Xu, there will be much heavy rain, metal vessels and swords will be expensive.

又曰:“歲星出入留舍畢二十日,其國有以武致天下;絲絮布帛大貴,雨百斤千。”《荊州占》曰:“歲星出入留舍畢,三十日不下,人民流亡,不反故鄉。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星守畢,王者出遊獵;不出四十日,兵車行。”石氏曰:“歲星守畢中,國大赦,王賜夷狄,若有德令;一曰糴大貴。”

It is also said that when the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the Net mansion for twenty days, the country will gain the empire by force; the price of silk and cloth will surge, selling a hundred catties for a thousand coins. The "Jingzhou Divination" says that when the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the Net mansion for thirty days without leaving, the people will flee and be unable to return to their homeland. The "Chunqiu Tu" says that when the star of years stays in the Net mansion, the emperor will go out for hunting; within no more than forty days, chariots will be deployed for warfare. The Shi school says that when the star of years stays in the middle of the Net mansion, the country will issue a general amnesty, the emperor will bestow gifts upon the barbarians, or issue an edict of benevolence; another view is that the price of rice will rise sharply.

巫咸曰:“歲星守畢,為大旱,多水災。”郗萌曰:“歲星守畢,萬物不成,國以飢亡。”《玉曆》曰:“歲星入畢,留守之三十日不下,人君有謀,大兵起,有攻戰,客軍敗,人民流亡,不反其鄉,期一年。”陳卓曰:“歲星犯守畢,年穀小豐。”《西官候》曰:“歲星犯守畢,軍亂國,有赦令,王者有賜夷狄,若有謀兵,期八十日,若二百四十日。”陳卓曰:“歲星犯畢、附耳,兵起,若將相有喪,憂也;若不,即免退。”

Wu Xian said: When the star of years stays in the Net mansion, there will be a great drought and also much flooding. Xi Meng said: When the star of years stays in the Net mansion, all things do not grow, and the country will perish due to famine. The Jade Calendar said: When the star of years enters the Net mansion and stays there for thirty days without leaving, the ruler will have plans, launch a large military campaign, and there will be warfare, the guest army will be defeated, and the people will flee and not return to their homeland, which will happen within a year. Chen Zhuo said: When the star of years invades the Net mansion, the grain will have a slight harvest. The Western Officials' Forecast said: When the star of years invades the Net mansion, the army will cause chaos within the country, followed by an amnesty, the emperor will reward the barbarians, or plan for military action, which will occur within eighty days or two hundred and forty days. Chen Zhuo said: When the star of years invades the Net mansion and the Ear Star, warfare will arise, or ministers and generals will die, causing people to be anxious and fearful; if not, then officials will be dismissed and retire. The Ear Star is one star beneath the Net mansion, which indicates listening to and discerning slanderous words, and it also shares the same governance over border troops as the Net mansion, so Chen Zhuo combined the two for divination.

The planet Jupiter (the Year Star) invades the constellation Zui Zhu Li.

石氏曰:“歲星犯觜觽,萬物不成。”石氏曰:“歲星犯觜觽,其國兵起,天下動移。”郗萌曰:“歲星入觜觽中,伺其出日而數之,期二十日,兵發;伺始入處之率,一日期十日,軍罷。”郗萌曰:“歲星入觜觽,五穀更貴更賤,歲一旱一水,天氣不和調;一曰有兵。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years invades the constellation Zizui, all things will not grow properly. The Shi school also says: When the star of years invades the constellation Zizui, the country will experience warfare, and the world will be in turmoil and migration. Xi Meng says: When the star of years enters the constellation Zizui, starting from the day it exits, the military actions should occur within twenty days. Another calculation based on its initial position suggests the military actions should occur within ten days, and the army will disband. Xi Meng also says: When the star of years enters the constellation Zizui, the prices of grain will fluctuate, and the year will have both drought and flood, with the weather out of harmony. Another interpretation suggests there will be warfare. The constellation Zizui is the head of the White Tiger, governing the gathering and storing of resources and military reconnaissance. Its corresponding region is the territory of Wei.

郗萌曰:“歲星入觜觽,多盜賊。”又曰:“歲星逆行觜觽,其國君誅罰不當。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星之觜觽,兵器大貴。”《洪範傳》曰:“歲星舍觜觽,為白衣之會。”郗萌曰:“歲星入留觜觽,六十日不下,禾豆半傷,九十日不下,侯王見功。”又曰:“歲星出入留舍觜觽,二百日不下,客軍大敗,主人大勝;一曰山林空。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter enters the constellation Zizui, and there will be many bandits. He also said: When Jupiter is in Zizui and moves backward, the king will carry out punishments in an inappropriate manner. The "Spring and Autumn Diagram" says: When Jupiter reaches Zizui, the price of weapons will rise sharply. The "Hóng Fàn Zhuan" says: When Jupiter enters the constellation Zizui, there will be gatherings where people wear mourning clothes. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter enters and stays in Zizui for sixty days without leaving, half of the grain and beans will be damaged; if it stays for ninety days without leaving, the princes and kings will display their achievements. He also said: When Jupiter appears, stays, enters, and resides in Zizui, and does not leave for two hundred days, the guest army will suffer a great defeat, while the main army will achieve a great victory; another account says that the mountains and forests will be completely emptied. "Entering and staying" refers to entering and then remaining still, which is different from "entering, leaving, staying, and residing," which involves repeated appearances and disappearances. Therefore, the number of days recorded and the degree of effect mentioned in the two accounts differ.

石氏曰:“歲星守觜觽,三日以上,王者大將軍出兵在道。”石氏曰:“歲星守觜觽,國有反者,民疫,天下大飢。又曰:歲星守觜觽西方,客動侵地,欲為君主,崇禮以制義,則國安。”又曰:“歲星守觜觽,君臣和同。”《荊州占》曰:“歲星守觜觽,妖怪起,丁壯多暴死。”《玄冥占》曰:“歲星守觜觽,大臣且亡。”(魏時木守觜觽,後諸葛公亡。)

The Shi school says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui for more than three days, the emperor's great general has already led troops on the way. The Shi school also says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, there are rebels in the country, the people suffer from epidemic diseases, and the whole country faces great famine. It also says: If the star of years stays in the western part of the constellation Zizui, the invading army will move to seize land and wants to establish itself as a king; at this time, if the country can respect rituals and govern with righteousness, the country will be stable. It also says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, the sovereign and ministers will be in harmony and work together. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, strange and abnormal events occur frequently, and many young men die suddenly. The "Xuanming Divination" says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, the ministers will die. The original book's marginal note says: During the state of Wei, the star of years stayed in the constellation Zizui, and later Zhuge Gong died. The marginal note's reference to "Zhuge Gong" refers to Zhuge Liang, the chancellor of the state of Shu Han, which was in opposition to the state of Wei.

《齊伯五星占》曰:“歲星守觜觽,六十日,五穀傷;九十日兵起。”石氏曰:“歲星犯守觜觽,不出一旬,民病瘧。”《海中占》曰:“歲星犯守觜觽,不出一旬,必有偵候之事;農夫不耕,天子皇后俱崩,期甲辰日。”《玉曆》曰:“歲星犯守觜觽三十日,五穀傷,其國大飢,民多餓,天下大疫,農夫不耕,婦女不績。”

The Qi Bo Wu Xing Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter stays at the constellation Zui Zhu for sixty days, the five grains will be damaged; when it reaches ninety days, there will be warfare. The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays at Zui Zhu, within ten days, the common people will suffer from malaria. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays at Zui Zhu, within ten days, there will certainly be military intelligence about reconnaissance and scouting; farmers will be unable to till the fields, the emperor and empress will both die, and this will occur on the day of Jiachen. The Yu Li says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays at Zui Zhu for thirty days, the five grains will be damaged, the country will suffer a great famine, many people will be hungry, there will be a great plague throughout the land, farmers will not till the fields, and women will not spin thread. The three schools record different numbers of days, from sixty to ten to thirty, but the three events of grain damage, people suffering from plague, and military intelligence are interrelated in terms of their severity, and can be cross-referenced with each other.

The planet Jupiter (the Star of Years) enters the constellation of the Seven Stars (the Big Dipper).

石氏曰:“歲星犯參,水旱不時。”《聖洽符》曰:“歲星入參,天子更佈政,宰相不安,期六月。”郗萌曰:“歲星逆行參,其君誅罰不當。”又曰:“歲星逆行,若留上衡中,為兵革起。”《黃帝占》曰:“歲星處參東,若處伐東,多走民,多暴雨;處參西,若處伐西,多流民,從東方來,處參北,若伐北,衡水。”

The Shi school says: The planet Jupiter invades the Three Stars mansion, causing drought and flood to occur out of season. The "Divination of the Perfect Harmony of the Sage" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Three Stars mansion, the Son of Heaven will issue new decrees, and the prime minister's position becomes unstable, with an expected period of six months. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter moves retrograde in the Three Stars mansion, the ruler will carry out punishments in an inappropriate manner. It also says: When the planet Jupiter moves retrograde or remains in the upper balance, warfare will arise. The "Divination of the Yellow Emperor" says: When the planet Jupiter stops in the eastern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the eastern side of the star Faval, there will be many fleeing people and frequent heavy rains; when it stops in the western side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the western side of the star Faval, there will be many wandering people coming from the east; when it stops in the northern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the northern side of the star Faval, there will be flooding. The Three Stars mansion is the body of the White Tiger, governing execution and warfare, and its corresponding region is the land of Wei.

郗萌曰:“歲星處參南,若處伐南,為易君;一曰大人多寒熱之疾;處參北,國有易相;處參東,若伐東,晚稼不成;處參西,若伐西,產子者多死;一曰老人多死。”《荊州占》曰:“歲星處參,所近者,是王者欲封為遠國君也,期一年。”郗萌曰:“歲星宿參,若宿伐者,為有反臣中兵也。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years stops in the southern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the southern side of the star of Felling, it indicates a change of ruler; another interpretation says that the powerful officials will suffer from fevers and chills. When it stops in the northern side of the Three Stars mansion, the country will change its prime minister; when it stops in the eastern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the eastern side of the star of Felling, late-maturing crops will not be harvested. When it stops in the western side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the western side of the star of Felling, many mothers and infants will die; another interpretation says that many old people will die. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of years stops in the Three Stars mansion, the person it is close to is the one the emperor intends to appoint as a distant king, and the time will be one year. Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the Three Stars mansion or the star of Felling, there will be a traitor hidden in the army.

《荊州占》曰:“歲星入參,七日以上至七十日,王者欲出之他國,不出百八十日。”石氏曰:“歲星守參,國有反者,五穀更貴。”又曰:“歲星守參,天下農夫不耕。”又曰:“歲星守參,有赤星出參中,邊有兵。”甘氏曰:“歲星守參,其歲大疫,五者恐疫,木入金,其君危。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Sanxing and stays there for more than seven days up to seventy days, the emperor intends to travel to another country, and will definitely set out within one hundred and eighty days. The Shi school says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, there are people within the country who plot rebellion, and the price of grain becomes more expensive. It also says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, farmers across the land refuse to till the fields. It also says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, if a red star appears within the mansion of Sanxing, there will be warfare on the borders. The Gan school says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, there will be a great plague that year, and people from all five directions fear contracting the disease. If the Jupiter, which belongs to the Wood element, enters the mansion of a Metal element, the ruler will be in danger.

《荊州占》曰:“歲星守參,多雨歲惡。”巫咸曰:“歲星守參,萬物不成,民大飢。”《海中占》曰:“歲星守參,多盜賊,高田貴,下田賤,其年樹木多爛。”郗萌曰:“歲星守參,晚稼不成。”《春秋圖》曰:“歲星入參,犯守之,其國以兵致天下;退而守之,士卒有驚,若離散,五穀貴;一曰水火為敗。”郗萌曰:“歲星入參、守伐,天下有兵驚,不足傷民,天下受兵事。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, there will be much rain and a poor year. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, all things do not grow properly, and the people suffer from great famine. The book "Hai Zhong Divination" says: When Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, there will be many thieves, the price of land in high places becomes expensive, while the price of land in low places becomes cheap, and that year many trees will rot. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, the late-maturing crops will not be harvested. The book "Chunqiu Tu" says: When Jupiter enters the Three Stars mansion and invades and stays there, the country will gain the world by military strength; if it retreats and stays there, the soldiers will be disturbed or even scatter, and the price of grain will be high; another interpretation says that the country will suffer defeat caused by water and fire. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter enters the Three Stars mansion and stays in the star of chopping, there will be military disturbances throughout the world, but it will not harm the people, yet the whole world will have to bear the burden of military service.
