The fiercest astrology in ancient times

In history, great attention has been paid to the study of astrology. As early as ancient times, astrologers existed, and later the emperor recruited strange people who were proficient in astronomy and geography, observed the celestial phenomena at night, and reported the celestial language to the emperor. There are two kinds of astrology that are the most ugly, but when they are born, they are either good luck or bad luck. One is the five-star alignment, and the other is that Mars stays in Antares.

The ancients divided the 28 constellations of the whole day into four parts according to the four directions of east, south, west and north, and each part contained seven constellations. According to the shapes of the seven constellations in each part, the four parts are named after four similar animals, namely black dragon, Xuanwu, white tiger and suzaku.

On that day, the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire and earth lined up in a line, which was a five-star connection and an auspicious sign. According to historical records, this phenomenon appeared in the year when Liu Bang ascended the throne. Emperor gaozu was very happy to see this phenomenon, and thought that his accession to the throne was to conform to the destiny and bless him.

And "Mars stays in Antares" means that Mars moves to the center of the 28 constellations and stays next to it. Mars was called "Huo Ying" in ancient times, so Mars stayed in the name of Antares. The year before the death of Qin Shihuang, the event "Mars stays in Antares" happened. It is rare for Mars to stay in Antares, but once the emperor saw it, he was frightened and prayed to God for forgiveness.
