Hello, Can someone please translate the script on this silk panel and give me an approx date on it. NOTE: The silk itself appears to have some good age to it! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! David.

Inscription headlines,
乾元亨利貞　　-　Sky -Practice of Great Auspicious Divination
鎮宅光明　　-　For town and house
唵勅令　-　沸勅令　-　Sacred voice ordinance - Buddha`s ordinance
(by the God of the Year -a deity who was believed to change his dwelling on earth in every year)
A New Year divination script based on the Book of Changes (I Ching) using a type of divination called
cleromancy)
There is no date indication, could be from the Qing
era.

With regards,
I.Nagy
