Fixed star Jishui, 65 Aurigae (65 Aur), is a 5th-magnitude double star in the constellation Auriga.
      Magnitude 5.12, Spectral type K0 III, color orange. The faint companion star has a magnitude of 11.7. ^[1]

Technically, with the boundary of the constellation Auriga, this star marks the front left paw of the Lynx (constellation). It also belonged to the obsolete constellation Telescopium Herschelii.

65 Aur has the traditional Chinese name 積水 Jīshuǐ, “Accumulated Water,” which represents water stored for brewing or supplied by officials responsible for brewing oil and cooking. It is the only star of the asterism Jīshuǐ, the 7th asterism of the 22nd lunar mansion Jing, “Well.”  ^[2]

Lambda Persei (λ Per) is also named 積水 Jīshuǐ, “Stored Water.” This one represents the accumulation of water inside the Celestial Boat (Tianchuan). It is the only star of the asterism Jīshuǐ, the 7th asterism of the 17th lunar mansion Wei, “Stomach.” 

Jishui is the official name of Omicron Geminorum. ^[3]

Ma Duanlin (1317)

The star Jishui (积水) is located in Hebei, used for supplying wine. Its absence signifies disaster. It is also said to indicate floods. ^[5]

Song History (1346)

Jishui is one star located northwest of Bei He (North River); it represents the proper provision of wine and food for official ceremonies or state affairs. If this star cannot be seen, disaster follows. If Jupiter transgresses Jishui, aquatic products will fail to mature; fish and salt become expensive, leading to famine among the people. If Mars transgresses it, there will be military conflict and flooding. If Mercury transgresses Jishui (Accumulated Water), it signifies floods or droughts. If a guest star transgresses Jishui, military conflict arises, great floods occur, and high-ranking ministers feel worry; this is expected to happen within one year. If pale blue or white cloud formations intrude upon Jishui, there will be floods across the land. ^[6]

Constellation Telescopium Herschelii

04♋00 to 23♋00

TELESCOPIUM HERSCHELII.   Herschel’s Telescope.
      History.   Formed by the Abbé Hell in 1781, in honor of Sir William Herschel.
      Influence.   It is said to give scientific abilities, a keen intellect and spiritual powers. ^[7]

Constellation Auriga

12♊11 to 18♋45

AURIGA.   The Charioteer.
      Legend.   Auriga represents Erichthonius, son of Vulcan and King of Athens, who was the first to devise a chariot drawn by four horses, which he used in order to conceal his greatly deformed feet. The goat and kids depicted in the constellation figure commemorate the goat upon whose milk Jupiter was reared, together with her offspring.
      Influence.   According to Ptolemy, the bright stars are like Mars and Mercury. The constellation is said to give self-confidence, interest in social and educational problems, and happiness, but danger of great vicissitudes. The native is fond of country life and may be a teacher or have the upbringing of young people. By the Kabalists Auriga is associated with the Hebrew letter Samech and the 15th Tarot Trump “The Devil”. ^[7]

Auriga is one of the most fortunate constellations in the sky, but may still portend earthquakes if situated unfortunately as regards a solar eclipse. ^[8]
