紫微垣是三垣的中垣,居于北天中央,所以又称中宫,或紫微宫。紫微宫即皇宫的意思,各星多数以官名命名。它以北极为中枢,东、西两藩共十五颗星。两弓相合,环抱成垣。整个紫微垣据宋皇祐年间的观测记录,共合37个星座,附座 2个,正星163颗,增星181颗。它的天区大致相当于现今国际通用的小熊、大熊、天龙、猎犬、牧夫、武仙、仙王、仙后、英仙、鹿豹等星座。

Dina,

I suggest you don't continue to learn this stuff which is sort of horoscope originated from ancient China. Right now most Chinese cannot understand either not to mention foreigners.
