Song History (1346)

Yuyi, the Moon Star, consists of one star located southeast of Mao, the Peliades; it is also known as Chanju, resembling a toad, representing the interaction of the sun and moon. It symbolizes a female ruler or her subordinates, and also oversees matters related to death and mourning. If this star shines brightly and prominently, it indicates that the female ruler will have absolute power. If Venus and Mars remain over Yuyi, subordinates will raise arms in rebellion and cause disorder. If a comet or guest star transgresses Yuyi, high-ranking ministers will be dismissed from office, and the female ruler will worry. ^[6]

Constellation Taurus the Bull

12♉02 to 18♊06

TAURUS. The Bull.
Legend. Jupiter, assuming the form of a bull, mingled with the herd when Europa, with whom he was infatuated, and her maidens disported themselves on the sea-shore. Encouraged by the tameness of the bull Europa mounted it, whereupon the God rushed into the sea and bore her away to Crete. According to other accounts Taurus represents Io whom Jupiter turned into a cow in order to deceive his wife Juno.
Influence. Ptolemy makes the following observations: “Those stars in Taurus which are in the abscission of the sign resemble in their temperament the influence of Venus, and in some degree that of Saturn . . . the stars in the head (except Aldebaran) resemble Saturn, and, partly, Mercury; and those at the top of the horns are like Mars.” By the Kabalists Taurus is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump “The Juggler.” In all the ancient Zodiacs, Taurus is the beginning sign and marked the Vernal Equinox from about 4,000 to 1,700 B.C. ^[4]
