石氏曰:“辰星入少微,君當求賢佐,不求賢佐,則失威奪勢者矣。”又曰:“犯守少微,名士有憂,王者任用小人,忠臣被害,有死;又曰五官亂,宰相易,有兵憂矣。”
The four stars of Shao Wei are located to the west of Tai Wei Yuan, representing the positions of reclusive scholars, advisors, and doctoral officials, and they oversee the selection of virtuous talents. Shi Shen said: if the water star enters Shao Wei, the ruler should seek out capable ministers. If he does not seek capable ministers, there will be loss of authority and being deprived of power. He also said: if one violates and occupies Shao Wei, it indicates that renowned scholars will suffer misfortune, the king will employ petty men, loyal ministers will be falsely accused, and even people may die. It also indicates disorder among the five officials, replacement of the prime minister, and worries about military conflicts.
石氏曰:“辰星入,中犯乘守少微,宰相易;一曰女主憂,不出其年。”《帝覽嬉》曰:“行犯左右執法,為大臣有憂。”郗萌曰:“犯左右執法,執法者誅,若有罪;又曰犯天庭,臣為亂。”
Shi Shen said: The water star entering the Xiaowei constellation, appearing directly in the middle, offending, overpowering, and staying above it, indicates a change in the prime minister; another interpretation says that a female ruler will have worries, but the predicted time does not occur in the same year. The "Imperial Leisure" said: When the star moves and offends the Left and Right Law Officials in the Taimei constellation, it indicates that ministers will have worries. Xi Meng said: Offending the Left and Right Law Officials indicates that the officials in charge of law enforcement will be executed or punished; he also said that offending the Heavenly Court indicates that ministers will rebel.
The planet Chen Xing (Saturn) has entered the Taiwei constellation, specifically the forty-fourth position.
《荊州占》曰:“辰星道;從太微西藩北南方星間入,到南方東方星間南出道;中西藩直坐入者,非道也。”《春秋圖》曰:“辰星若以立秋後七十二日得壬子,入太微朝見,當此之時,陰氣隆盛,陽氣潛藏,不欲穿池,決溝渠,犯之冬雷。”《荊州占》曰:“辰星以壬子日順入太微,天子所使也;不以壬子日,非天子使也。”
The Taimei Enclosure is the southern palace court of the Son of Heaven, enclosed by eastern and western outposts. Facing south, the central gate is the Duanmen, with the Left and Right Yemen on either side. Within the enclosure are the Five Emperors' Seats, the Tian Ting, and the stars of Left and Right Law-Enforcers. The "Jingzhou Divination" states that the planet Water follows a specific path when passing through the Taimei Enclosure; it enters from the northern side of the western outpost between the southern stars, and exits to the south between the southern and eastern stars, which is the correct path. If it enters directly opposite the Emperor's Seat in the western outpost, it is not the correct path. The "Chunqiu Tu" says that if the planet Water enters the Taimei Enclosure to pay homage to the Son of Heaven on the Renzi day, seventy-two days after the Beginning of Autumn, at this time the Yin energy is abundant and the Yang energy is concealed, it is not appropriate to dig ponds or clear ditches, as doing so would cause thunder in winter. The "Jingzhou Divination" also states that if the planet Water moves in a clockwise direction into the Taimei Enclosure on a Renzi day, it is sent by the Son of Heaven; if it enters on any other day, it is not sent by the Son of Heaven.
郗萌曰:“辰星當太微門,為受制;當左執法,為受事左執法;當右執法,為受事右執法守;太微門三日以下為受制,三日以上,為兵、為賊、為亂、為飢。”《荊州占》曰:“辰星出東掖門,為相受命;東南出德事也。出西掖門為將受事,西南出刑事也;期以春秋。”《黃帝占》曰:“辰星入天庭,色白潤澤,為期百八十日,有赦。”巫咸曰:“辰星入太陰門西,出太陰門東,後宮破,右有大水,期百二十日。”《合誠圖》曰:“辰星入華闕門,為臣弒之候也。”
Xi Meng said: When the water star is directly opposite the Taimei垣 gate, it indicates receiving the emperor's decree; when it is directly opposite the left law officer star, it indicates receiving duties from the left law officer; when it is directly opposite the right law officer star, it indicates receiving duties from the right law officer; if it stays at the Taimei gate for three days or less, it indicates receiving decrees, but if it stays for more than three days, it indicates military affairs, bandits, unrest, and famine. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the water star emerges from the eastern gate, it indicates the chancellor receiving a mandate; when it emerges from the southeast, it indicates the implementation of virtuous governance. When it emerges from the western gate, it indicates the general receiving a mandate; when it emerges from the southwest, it indicates judicial punishment; the time of occurrence is in spring or autumn. The "Yellow Emperor Divination" says: When the water star enters the heavenly court, and the star is white and moist, the time of occurrence is 180 days, and there will be a great amnesty. Wu Xian said: When the water star enters from the west side of the Taoyin gate and exits from the east side, it indicates the palace breaking down, and there will be a great flood on the right side, with the time of occurrence being 120 days. The "Hecheng Tu" says: When the water star enters the Huaque gate, it is a sign of a minister killing the king.
石氏曰:“辰星入太微中華東西門;若左右掖門,而南出端門,必有反臣;若入西門出東,為人君不安,欲求賢佐;有入中華西門,出中華東門,為臣出令;入太陽西,出太陰東門,為天下大亂,有喪,若大水。”郗萌曰:“入太微西門,犯天庭,出端門,為大臣伐主;入西門,折出右掖門,為大臣假主之威而不從主命;入西華門,南出端門,為臣詐稱詔;入太微,若入端門出東門,貴者奪勢。”
Shi Shen said: If the planet Mercury enters from the eastern gate, the western gate, or the left and right wings of the Middle Palace, and exits to the south from the end gate, there will certainly be a rebellious minister; if it enters from the western gate and exits from the eastern gate, the sovereign will be troubled and seek capable ministers; if it enters from the western gate of the Middle Palace and exits from the eastern gate, the ministers will issue orders擅自; if it enters from the western gate of the Sun Palace and exits from the eastern gate of the Moon Palace, there will be great chaos throughout the realm, calamity, or a great flood. Xi Meng said: If it enters from the western gate of the Middle Palace and violates the heavenly court, then exits from the end gate, the ministers will rebel against the sovereign; if it enters from the western gate and exits from the right wing gate, the ministers will pretend to act under the sovereign's authority but not obey the sovereign's orders; if it enters from the western gate of the Huahua Palace and exits to the south from the end gate, the ministers will falsely claim the sovereign's decree; if it enters the Middle Palace, or enters from the end gate and exits from the eastern gate, the powerful will lose their authority.
《荊州占》曰:“辰星入太微宮,天下有聖女子出燕代;若有大水,傷人民,期三十日。”(《天文志》曰:“孝桓永壽元年七月巳未,辰星入太微中,八十日去,出左掖門,是歲洛水溢至津門,南陽大水。)
The book "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the water star enters the Taimei Palace, it indicates that there will be a virtuous woman of great virtue emerging from the Yan and Dai regions; or there will be a major flood that harms the people, and the event will occur within thirty days. (Original commentary: The "Astronomical Records" say that in the first year of Hengdi Emperor's Yongshou period, on the巳 and 未 days of the seventh month, the water star entered the center of Taimei, and left eighty days later, exiting from the left gate. In that year, the Luo River overflowed, flooding the jinmen gate of Luoyang, and there was a major flood in the Nanyang region, which exactly matches the divination text.)
《荊州占》曰:“辰星入太微天庭,出端門,臣不臣;入太微宮,為天下大驚;一曰有兵;又曰入天庭,國不安其宮;又曰辰星見太微,天子當之。”陳卓曰:“辰星入太微,天子之宮,群臣相殺。”(《宋書天文志》曰:“晉永寧元年七月,辰星入太微,初齊王冏定京都,因留輔政,遂專權無君,是月成都王穎,河間王顯,長沙王乂討之,冏乂交戰,攻焚宮關,冏兵敗,夷滅乂殺其兄,上將軍寔以下二十餘人,大安二年成都攻長沙,於是公私飢困,百姓力屈也。)
The book "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the water star enters the Taimei celestial court and exits from the Duamen gate, it indicates that ministers do not abide by their duties. When it enters the Taimei palace, it signifies great alarm throughout the land; another interpretation suggests there will be military affairs. It also says that when the water star appears in Taimei, the outcome is verified to affect the emperor. Chen Zhuo explains: When the water star enters Taimei, which is the imperial court of the emperor, it indicates that ministers will fight each other. (Original book note: The "Song History · Astronomical Records" states that in the seventh month of Yongning Year One of the Jin Dynasty, the water star entered Taimei. At that time, Prince Sima Jing of Qi pacified the capital and remained to assist in governance, thus monopolizing power and disregarding the emperor. In that month, Prince Sima Ying of Chengdu, Prince Sima Yong of Hejian, and Prince Sima Yi of Changsha raised armies to attack him. Sima Jing fought against Sima Yi, attacking and burning the palace gate. Sima Jing was defeated and executed, his family was exterminated, and Sima Yi later killed his elder brother and General Sima Shi and more than twenty others. In the second year of Taian, Prince Sima Ying attacked Prince Sima Yi, causing both public and private sectors to suffer from famine and exhaustion, with the people's strength depleted.)
齊伯曰:“辰星入左右掖門而東出,天下有憂,若入端門而守天庭,強臣奪主位。”《黃帝占》曰:“辰星東行,入太微庭,出東門,天下有急兵;若守,將相丞相御史大臣有死者;若入端門、守庭,大禍至;入南門出東門,國大旱;若入南門逆行出西門,國大亂;逆行入東門,出西門,大國破亡;若順入西藩而不留去;楚國凶殃。”巫咸曰:“辰星逆行,入太微天庭中,為大臣有誅,若諸侯戮死,期二年。”石氏曰:“辰星逆行於太微中,及出左右掖門者,有逆謀,天子有命將征伐之事;一曰大赦可以解其患也。”
Qi Bo said: When the water star enters from the left and right gates and goes eastward, it indicates there will be calamities in the world; if it enters from the end gate and stays in the heavenly court, it indicates a powerful minister will seize the throne. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the water star moves eastward and enters the Taiwei court, then exits from the eastern gate, it indicates there will be urgent military affairs in the world; if it stays there without leaving, it indicates death among the ministers, including generals, prime ministers, and censors; if it enters from the end gate and stays in the heavenly court, it indicates great calamity; if it enters from the southern gate and exits from the eastern gate, it indicates a great drought in the country; if it enters from the southern gate and goes westward from the western gate, it indicates great chaos in the country; if it goes westward from the eastern gate and exits from the western gate, it indicates the collapse of a great state; if it enters the western gate and leaves without stopping, it indicates misfortune for the state of Chu. Wu Xian said: When the water star goes westward and enters the Taiwei court, it indicates ministers will be executed, or诸侯 will be killed and die, and this will happen within two years. Shi Shen said: When the water star goes westward in the Taiwei court, or comes out from the left and right gates, it indicates there will be conspiracies of rebellion, and the emperor will appoint generals to lead military campaigns; another interpretation suggests that a great pardon can remove this calamity.

The planet Chen Xing (Saturn) has entered the position of the wild chicken, which is the twenty-fifth position.
甘氏曰:“辰星入犯守野雞,其國凶,必有死將;軍營敗,兵士散走。”
A single star of the wild fowl appears in the military market, indicating strange and unusual events, a sign of alarm in the military. Gan De said: If the water star enters, offends, or occupies the wild fowl, it foretells calamity in the territory associated with that star. There will certainly be the death of a general, the collapse of the military camp, and soldiers scattering in all directions.

The star Wolf is located in the southeast of the Three Stars mansion. It appears white with a sharp edge, indicating invasion and plunder. Shi Shen said: When the planet Water enters and occupies the Wolf star, it signifies the death of wild animals. The "Sheng Qia Fu" states: When the planet Water offends and occupies the Wolf star, it indicates many villains and thieves in the world, and military conflicts will arise. The country corresponding to this area will suffer from water disasters. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When the Wolf star is occupied, it indicates a general going to war, and the country will have military affairs; another interpretation suggests that a general will die in battle.

《荊州占》曰:“辰星守弧星,大將有千里之行,國政驚。”
A cluster of nine stars called the Arc Star is located to the southeast of the Wolf Star, forming the shape of a bent bow facing the Wolf Star. This indicates the need for vigilance against thieves and is also associated with bows and arrows.
