When ancient people noticed the movement of the stars in the sky and the changing seasons, they gave the mysterious stars the status of gods, and a strong bond was born between heaven, earth, and humans. Subsequent history was a drama played out under this bond.

The stars also governed the great affairs of the nation. The reason why England hesitated at first to fight the Spanish Armada was because the sun was in a bad position relative to Queen Elizabeth's moon. Why does such divination work? What is its origin and history of development?
