Japanese: 属星祭 / 續? Source-specific orthography required
Class: ONMYŌDŌ ASTRAL RITE

Recent scholarship traces the Chinese origins and Japanese development of this Onmyōdō ritual.

  • response to celestial anomalies;
  • health;
  • safe childbirth;
  • strange omens;
  • military victory;
  • post-victory thanksgiving.

Historical records place it beside:

  • Moon Worship (getsuyōsai);
  • Mars Worship (keikokusai);
  • Hyakkaisai for strange phenomena;
  • Taizan Fukun rites.

Onmyōdō astral ritual was an adaptive diagnostic/avertive system, not just horoscope calculation.
