郗萌曰:“客星犯危,國有哭泣之事。”(案《宋書天文志》曰:魏明帝景初二年十月癸己。客星見危。逆行在離宮北,卷蛇南,三年正月,明帝崩。)一曰:多雨水,五穀不收,人相食於道。”《荊州占》曰:“客星入危,有土功,王者築宮室;不出一年,大水;不出三年,大飢,萬人無食。”

Xi Meng said: A guest star invades the "Wei" mansion - the Wei mansion is the fifth of the seven northern Black Tortoise mansions, consisting of three stars, governing house construction and also funerals and burials - there will be mourning and funeral affairs in the country. (Original book note: According to the "Astronomical Records" in the "Book of Song," on the tenth day of the tenth month in the second year of Jingchou during the reign of Emperor Ming of Wei, a guest star appeared in the Wei mansion, moving逆行 north of the Li palace and south of the Juan She; by the first month of Jingchou in the third year, Emperor Ming died.) Another interpretation says that a guest star invading Wei indicates excessive rain, poor harvests, and people starving to the point of eating each other on the road. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When a guest star enters the Wei mansion, there will be earth and wood construction projects, and the king will greatly expand palaces; within a year there will be a great flood; within three years there will be a severe famine, with thousands of people having no food to eat.

《百二十占》曰:“他星入危,有蓋屋之事;色赤,大變;青,憂。”甘氏曰:“客星出危,大臣被刑,法官有憂,國多水災,有土功,王者築宮室;期不出年。”甘氏曰:“赤星出危,以火廢國。”郗萌曰:“客星出危中,大水,一曰大飢。”甘氏曰:“客星出危,王者遷都,其國更立侯王。”

The "One Hundred and Twenty Divinations" states: If other strange stars enter the constellation of Rooftop Mansion, there will be construction of houses and buildings; if the strange star appears red, it indicates a major calamity; if it appears blue, it indicates worries and troubles. The Gan school says: If a guest star exits from the constellation of Rooftop Mansion, ministers will suffer punishment, officials in charge of law will have worries, there will be frequent flooding in the country, and there will be much construction, with the king building palaces. This prediction will not be verified within a year. The Gan school also says: If a red guest star exits from the constellation of Rooftop Mansion, the state will be ruined by fire. Xi Meng says: If a guest star exits from the middle of the constellation of Rooftop Mansion, it indicates a great flood, or alternatively, a great famine. The Gan school says: If a guest star exits from the constellation of Rooftop Mansion, the king will move the capital, and the state will establish a new king.

郗萌曰:“客星守危,天下必有易政更令。客星守危,人主失勢奪土,強臣專國,命在臺族;又曰:具有大風,有所危敗;又曰:不出三年,王者蓋屋治宮,天下匠工起,多土功;又曰:人流亡。”郗萌曰:“客星守危,國政危。”巫咸曰:“客星入守危,糴大貴,不出三年。”

Xi Meng said: The guest star staying in the mansion of the rooftop (Wei Su) indicates that the country will certainly change its government and alter its laws. The guest star staying in the mansion of the rooftop indicates that the sovereign will lose power and lose his territory, and the powerful ministers will monopolize the state affairs, with the country's fate falling into the hands of the aristocratic families. He also said that there will be a great wind causing harm and destruction. He also said that within three years, the king will build a large house and repair the palaces, and all the craftsmen in the country will be conscripted, with heavy construction work. He also said that the people will be displaced. Xi Meng also said: The guest star staying in the mansion of the rooftop indicates that the country's political situation is extremely dangerous. Wu Xian said: When the guest star enters and stays in the mansion of the rooftop, grain prices will rise sharply, and it will be verified within three years.

《荊州占》曰:“客星守危,若彗星干之,王侯有死者;王改服,不出百八十日。”(《黃帝占》曰:以日入命其國。)《黃帝占》曰:“客星入守危;若出危,大飢,人食貴,為後年。”郗萌曰:“客星守墳墓,人主有哭泣之聲。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If a guest star stays at the Rooftop Mansion or if a comet approaches the Rooftop Mansion, there will be death among the princes and dukes; the king should change his mourning clothes, and this will come to pass within 180 days. (Original note: The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says, according to the Day Branch on the day the guest star appears, it can be determined which state it will affect.) The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: If a guest star enters and stays at the Rooftop Mansion, or exits from the Rooftop Mansion, there will be a great famine and high grain prices, which will occur in the second year. Xi Meng says: If a guest star stays at the "grave" star, there will be mourning sounds coming from the royal household.

A guest star invades the constellation Weilu (Camp Room) sixth section.

郗萌曰:“客星犯營室,國且有宗廟哭泣事。”《黃帝占》曰:“奇星入營室中者,天子有憂。”《河圖》曰:“客星入營室;順行,有德;逆行,凶。”《聖洽符》曰:“黑星起廟南,入廟北,女主有死者;死者,廢廟之事。若出廟以北行中,人有鳩死者;或曰廟祭之事。黑星出月入廟,人主有藥死,不然有藥人主者。”

Xi Meng said: A guest star invading the "Camp Room" mansion - Camp Room, also called the Encampment mansion, is the sixth mansion of the Northern Black Tortoise, consisting of two stars, governing palace buildings and the construction of ancestral temples - there will be mourning and funerals in the state. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: an unusual star entering the Camp Room, the Son of Heaven will have worries. The Yellow River Chart says: a guest star entering the Camp Room, moving in order with the sequence of the mansions, is a good omen of virtuous governance; moving against the sequence in reverse is an ominous sign. The "Saint Harmony Symbol" says: a black guest star rising from the south of the "Temple" star and entering the north of the Temple star, there will be death among the female household members; this death belongs to a calamity related to the abandonment of the ancestral temple. If it emerges from the Temple star and moves northward through it, someone will be poisoned to death; another interpretation refers to matters concerning ancestral temple worship. A black guest star emerging from the moon and entering the Temple star, the sovereign will die from taking medicine, or someone will attempt to poison the sovereign.

巫咸曰:“客星入營室,天下有兵;又曰:人民流食千里。”《海中占》曰:“客星入營室,有軍,軍中大飢,將離散,士卒死亡。”郗萌曰:“客星入營室,外夷兵起,貸倉,多飢死者。客星入營室,邊外起兵,此為外夷之事。客星入營室,國亂,去其主。奇星入營室,不盜即賊,大亂。又曰:無兵兵起,有兵兵罷;星大,軍皆大;星小,軍皆小。黑星起廟北;而南入;女主惡之。客星從東壁入西壁,廟若城郭有起者。赤星入廟,人臣謀主。”

Wu Xian said: A guest star entering the constellation Yingshi indicates that there will be military actions throughout the country; it also says that the people will have to migrate thousands of miles to seek food. The "Sea Divination" says: When a guest star enters the constellation Yingshi, there will be military movements, great famine in the army, generals dispersing, and soldiers dying. Xi Meng said: When a guest星 enters the constellation Yingshi, foreign tribes will raise armies, the government will have to open granaries for loans, and many people will die of starvation. When a guest star enters the constellation Yingshi, armies will rise beyond the borders, which is an affair of the foreign tribes. When a guest star enters the constellation Yingshi, there will be great chaos in the country, and the people will abandon their sovereign. A strange star entering the constellation Yingshi indicates either theft or robbery, and chaos throughout the country. It also says: Those who originally had no military actions will start them, and those who originally had military actions will cease them; a large guest star indicates a large army, while a small guest star indicates a small army. A black guest star rising from the north of the Temple Star and moving southward into it is considered an omen of ill fortune for the female master. A red guest star entering the Temple Star indicates that ministers will plot against the sovereign.

《荊州占》曰:“他星入營室,諸侯有來使者;出營室,君使人之諸侯;色赤,皆言兵;白,皆言義;黃,皆言土;青,皆有憂;黑,皆凶。”又:“奇星入營室,有陰雨,垣牆無立者。”又:“黑星出入廟,廟上有死者,不死者見血。起廟北而南入,女主有死者,有廟廢之事。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If other strange stars enter the constellation Yingshi, the princes will send envoys; if they exit from Yingshi, the sovereign will send envoys to the states of the princes. If the strange star appears red, the reports will all concern military affairs; if white, they will all concern state affairs; if yellow, they will all concern construction and earthworks; if green, there will be worries; if black, there will be calamities. It also says: If a strange star enters Yingshi, there will be continuous rain, and the walls will collapse so that none can stand. It also says: If a black guest star enters or exits the constellation Miao, someone will die in the ancestral temple, or if not dead, there will be bloodshed. If it rises from the north of Miao and moves southward into it, there will be death among the female household heads, and the ancestral temple will be abandoned.

《聖洽符》曰:“白星出廟正南,廷有兵;或曰赤亦然。客星出營室,國有土功,人大飢,大臣為亂,兵大起,士卒亡。”(齊伯曰:期一年,不二年。)《春秋緯》曰:“星赤黃,出營室中,名曰怪獲;主奇去其國,貴人有死者;上旬見,其年髮半白,來月上旬死;中旬見,其年鬢白,來月中旬死,偏任後,雄烈之毒也;下旬見,其年盛壯,來月下旬死,將用事,毒害流。”

The Shengqia Fu says: A white guest star appearing directly south of the Temple Star indicates there will be a military revolt in the court; another interpretation says a red guest star is the same. If a guest star emerges from Yingshi, the country will have great construction projects, widespread famine among the people, ministers will rebel, large-scale military campaigns will take place, and soldiers will die. (Original book note: Qi Bo says, it will be fulfilled within one year, not extending to two.) The Chunqiu Wei says: A star of red-yellow color appearing within Yingshi is called "Gua Huo," indicating that extraordinary men will leave their homeland, and the powerful will die. If it appears in the first half of the month, it will affect those whose hair is already half white, and they will die in the next month's first half; if it appears in the middle half of the month, it will affect those with grey hair at the temples, and they will die in the next month's middle half. This is caused by the excessive favoring of the harem and the fierce and violent atmosphere; if it appears in the last half of the month, it will affect those in their prime, and they will die in the next month's last half. This is a sign that a powerful minister is about to take power and that poison will spread.

郗萌曰:“客星出西壁,若東壁;城郭有壞者。赤星出廟上,正南抵庭,有兵作,廟上有兵。白星出廟以北,中人有受賜者。”《黃帝》曰:“赤星從東壁之西壁,臣有戮其主。”《聖洽符》曰:“赤星在營室,有死者;不死者見血。”郗萌曰:“客星舍營室,其國且作宗廟,多土功事;留不去,匈奴有兵來。”

Xi Meng said: A guest star emerging from the western or eastern wall will indicate the collapse of city walls. A red guest star appearing above the temple star and moving directly to the southern direction to reach the court star indicates military conflict and warfare in the ancestral temple. A white guest star appearing north of the temple star indicates that court attendants will receive rewards. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: A red guest star moving from the eastern wall to the western wall indicates that a minister will kill his sovereign. The Sacred Harmony Symbol says: A red guest star stopping in the Encampment Room indicates someone will die; if not dead, there will be bloodshed. Xi Meng said: A guest star stopping in the Encampment Room indicates that the state will construct ancestral temples and have much construction work; if the star remains there without moving, the Xiongnu will send troops to attack.

石氏曰:“客星守離宮,兵起,人君有憂;一曰有急。”甘氏曰:“客星守營室;有軍者,客降,主得人地。”郗萌曰:“客星守營室,亂出其城郭之事,有奇星守東壁,天子為軍自守;一曰:天下搖動,在西方。”《黃帝》曰:“客星入若守東壁,諸侯相謀。”郗萌曰:“客星入若守東壁,天下且有大喪,白衣滿野。”

The Shi school says: If the guest star stays in the 'Li Palace' star, warfare will arise, and the sovereign will have worries; another interpretation suggests there will be an urgent incident. The Gan school says: If the guest star stays in Yingshi, the two opposing sides in battle will have the guest army surrendering, and the main army will gain people and land. Xi Meng says: If the guest star stays in Yingshi, there will be disturbances causing destruction of city walls; if a strange star stays in Dongbei, the Son of Heaven will need to rely on his army for defense; another interpretation says the whole country will be shaken and unsettled, and the event will occur in the west. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the guest star enters or stays in Dongbei, the feudal lords will plot against each other. Xi Meng says: If the guest star enters or stays in Dongbei, the country will suffer a great mourning, with people all over the land wearing plain clothes.

A guest star invades the constellation Maowang.

The Huangdi Zhan says: If a guest star enters the "Heavenly Prison" star for two months, the whole country will have a great amnesty, and it will be verified within five months. The Shi school says: If a guest star enters the "Mao" mansion - the fourth mansion of the Western White Tiger's seven mansions, which is now called the Pleiades cluster, it presages prisons and punishments, and also presages foreign tribes from the west - there will be mourning ceremonies in the country with people wearing white clothes. It also says: prominent people will be imprisoned. The "Heavenly Street" is between the "Mao" mansion and the "Bi" star (a satellite star near the "Bi" mansion). If the guest star stays there, there will be secret plots in the country. Xi Meng says: If a guest star enters the "Mao" mansion, the country will have great mourning; it also says that prisons will be full and innocent people will be wrongly killed, causing trouble for the sovereign.

石氏曰:“有星出昴,兵眾滿野,非喪則會也。”郗萌曰:“客星從昴陰出,有走主。客星居昴北,有別離之國,奪地死者。客星入若留昴,王者絕嗣,同姓有起入為主者。客星舍昴不去,天下囚多,則盜賊並起;若留十餘日不去,回紇內相賊,國家兵起,回紇來降。有星入舍昴南,糴一貴一賤。”

The Shi school said: If an unusual star emerges from the Hairy Head mansion, there will be armies everywhere, which is either a funeral or a meeting between states.

The Wenyao Gou says: If a guest star emerges from the Hairy Head mansion or invades and stays there, there will be someone who falsely claims royal authority and uses fraudulent orders to deceive the Central Plains; or there will be concubines who slander and flatter, and these people will ultimately surely bring about their own downfall.

The Shi school also says: If a large and red guest star enters the mouth of the net in the mansion of Bi, the world will have a major pardon; within fifteen days, or thirty days, or sixty days, ministers will suffer great troubles.

郗萌曰:“客星入畢,多獄事,一曰:貴人有繫囚者。黃星入畢,三夜常見,相死;九十日,后死;百二十日,大人當之。客星入畢中二月,天下有赦除責,期五月。客星入畢口,與兩股齊者,有走主;又曰期四十日,兵發;率一日八十日,兵罷;其去也,視其東南西北所往,及其所近宿,或受兵。客星入畢中,與兩股齊,期四十日,兵發直一星,期二十日兵發;居期十日,兵發。”

If a guest star enters the Net mansion for two months, the country will issue a general amnesty and forgive debts, which will be verified within five months. If a guest star enters the mouth of the Net mansion, level with the two strands of the net, there will be an escaping monarch; it is also said that there will be military action within forty days. Calculating one day as eighty days, the military action will cease. When the guest star departs, observe the direction it moves toward, east, south, west, or north, and the direction it approaches, which may suffer from military disaster. If a guest star enters the Net mansion and is level with the two strands of the net, there will be military action within forty days; if it is directly facing one of the stars, there will be military action within twenty days; if it remains stationary, there will be military action within ten days.

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: A guest star encroaching upon the 「Zi Zhu」 mansion — Zi Zhu is the Zi mansion, the sixth of the seven white tiger mansions in the western direction, consisting of three stars, shaped like the horns and fur of a tiger's head, governing matters of gathering people for self-protection and travel — that state will be destroyed.

The One Hundred and Twenty Divinations say: If other strange stars enter the Zi star, there will be incidents of people gathering for self-protection or traveling in groups abroad; if strange stars emerge from the Zi star, such events will occur abroad; another interpretation suggests this indicates the cessation of warfare.

巫咸曰:“客星出觜觽,國有大喪,若有侵王欲為君王者;若有水災,穀貴,糴百倍,人多餓死;期不出三年。”陳卓曰:“客星食觜觽,食太貴。”石氏曰:“客星守觜觽,魏有良臣輔國土,在西南二千里。”甘氏曰:“客星守觜觽,西戎動,侵土欲為君王者;崇禮以制義,則國安。”郗萌曰:“客星入守觜觽,牛馬有急行。”郗萌曰:“客星犯若守觜觽,若國破亡;一曰:食貴;一曰:有大喪。”

Offend the seven stars of the Southern Dipper

A guest star invades the Well mansion.

郄萌曰:“客星犯東井,國有土功事,小兒妖言。客星犯乘守東井,此日國亂兵起。”《荊州》曰:“客星干犯東井,其國用兵,大臣誅,期八十日。”黃帝曰:“客星入東井,五穀不收,糴大貴。客星出北斗,入東井,有邑將治陂堤及水事。”《孝經章句》曰:“客星入天渠,道塗不通,以水為敗。”

Xie Meng said: A guest star invades the 「East Well」 mansion - the East Well is also called the Well mansion, which is the first mansion of the Seven Mansions of the Vermilion Bird in the south, consisting of eight stars, governing water affairs and legal regulations, and corresponding to the region of Qín. There will be earth and wood construction projects in the country, and rumors of evil speech will spread among children. If a guest star invades, dominates, and stays in the East Well, from that day on, the country will experience great chaos and military action. The 「Jingzhou Divination」 says: If a guest star invades and presses upon the East Well, the state will mobilize troops, ministers will be executed, and this will be fulfilled within eighty days. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If a guest star enters the East Well, there will be a poor harvest of grain, and grain prices will rise sharply. If a guest star emerges from the Big Dipper and enters the East Well, there will be the need to repair cities, build ponds, dikes, and various water conservancy projects. The 「Xiaojing Zhangju」 says: If a guest star enters the 「Heavenly Channel」 star, roads will be blocked and communication will be cut off, causing failure due to water.

司馬彪《天文志》曰:“孝安永初元年八月戊申,客星在東井、弧星西南,是時羌反,斷隴道,遣帥將左右羽林北軍五校及諸郡兵征之。是歲,郡國四十一郡,三百一十五所,雨水四瀆溢,傷秋稼,壞城郭,殺人之甚也。”

In the Shuibu's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records," it is recorded that on the 15th day of the eighth month in the first year of Yongchu of Emperor Huan of Han, a guest star appeared in the southwest of the Well mansion and the arc star. At that time, the Qiang people rebelled, cutting off the passage in the area of Long Mountain. The court sent generals to lead the left and right wing guards, the Northern Army Five Schools, and the troops from various commanderies and states to suppress the rebellion. In this year, forty-one commanderies and states and three hundred and fifteen places across the country experienced floods, with the rivers, the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the Ji River overflowing, damaging the autumn crops, destroying cities and towns, and causing a large number of casualties.

石氏曰:“有星入東井,有客以水令來者。”郄萌曰:“客星出柳入井,主浮船。又曰:入東井,君失政,臣為亂,大人當之。一曰:宮中有大憂。”《荊州》曰:“客星入東井,貴人死,若有奇令,多失火,火神從天下,妖祥自地出。”《西官候》曰:“客星入東井,貴人有疾者。”《百二十占》:“他星入東井,有水事於國內。”

Xie Meng says: If the guest star emerges from the Willow mansion and enters the Well mansion, it indicates drifting ships.

The "One Hundred and Twenty Divinations" says: If another unusual star enters the Well mansion, there will be matters concerning water conservancy within the country.

黃帝曰:“客星出東井,宮中火起,大人為亂,兵大起,將軍有憂,若白衣有自立者,其國必破,期三年。”《百二十占》曰:“他星出東井,有水事於邦外。”郄萌曰:“客星出東井,水潦且至。”《荊州》曰:“客星經絕東井,名水有絕者。”黃帝曰:“客星入東井中,留十日而成勾己,有贖罪之令,期十月;客星守東井,水。”

The Yellow Emperor's divination says: If a guest star emerges from the Well Mansion, there will be a fire in the palace, the great person in power will rebel, large-scale military campaigns will occur, generals will have worries, or common people will take up arms and establish their own authority, and that country will surely collapse, and this will come true within three years.

石氏曰:“客星守東井,有旱蟲,人多疾;一曰:貴人死,以其國占之。”甘氏曰:“客星守東井,有白衣自立者,其國破,不出年中。”巫咸曰:“客星留守東井四十日已上,貴人女有懷子而化為水者。”郄萌曰:“客星守東井,多失火者;一曰:大臣為亂;一曰:三十日已上,貴人女有懷子而死者;一曰:百川皆溢;又曰:天子以酒為憂。貴人有族者,男子不得耕,女子不得織。”

The Shi school says: If the guest star stays in the Well mansion, there will be drought and pests, and many people will fall ill; another interpretation says that a prominent person will die. To determine which country it affects, one should look at the corresponding territory.
