The 1st November falls on the day before the Full Chrysanthemum Moon. This, the 9th Moon month of the ancient Chinese calendar, reaches her Last Quarter on the 9th. The Kindly Moon, the 10th Moon month, is New on the 17th, and climbs to her First Quarter on the 24th.

Last month in Horoscope, we told the story of how the pumpkin girl, Meng Chiang, after a long time searching, discovered her husband Wan’s bones built into the Great Wall of China. He had been a human sacrifice, made to placate the spirits that had been tearing down the wall as quickly as it was being built.

The Emperor Chhin Shih Huang Ti, who had ordered this sacrifice, eventually came to hear of Meng Chiang’s devotion to her husband, and her long and arduous search for his remains. He became obsessed with finding her, and when she was brought before him, was so overwhelmed by her beauty and grace, that he determined to marry her as swiftly as possible and make her his empress. Meng Chiang agreed but demanded that he grant her three favours before the ceremony could take place. He assented without hesitation.

Firstly, a 49 day funeral feast to honour her deceased husband was to be held, secondly, the emperor and all his officials had to attend this celebration, and thirdly, a 49 foot tall altar should erected by the river, so she could, from its top, make offerings to her husband. On the day of the funeral feast, Meng Chiang climbed to the top of the altar and began to harangue the emperor for his cruelty and evil. He just sat there listening, motionless with shock. As she finished, not wanting to live any longer. she threw herself from the altar into the river and was drowned. The emperor, his hopes of married bliss destroyed, boiled with anger. He ordered his soldiers to drag her body from the water, carve it into pieces and grind her bones into dust. When this was done, all the little pieces of Meng Chiang magically transformed into tiny silver fish and wriggled into the river, where they continue to flourish today. It is said that each fish contains a portion of Meng Chiang’s soul. By Nathaniel.
