2.148

緯候(上云貴反經緯也經音古定反下胡遘反韻譜云伺也案五星曆云二十八宿為經日月五星為緯行度有踵次故候占吉凶也)。

緯候 (planetary motions and prognostication: the first character is *y[ún]-gu[ì]* fan; warp and weft; 經 is pronounced *g[ǔ]-d[ìng]* fan. The second character is *h[ú]-g[òu]* fan; the Yunpu states: “To observe.” Note: The Five-Planet Calendar states: “The twenty-eight lunar mansions are the warp (經), while the sun, moon, and five planets are the weft (緯).” As their transits have stations and orbits, one observes them to divine good or bad fortune).
