博纳提·第一百零一至一百一十四则　杀星、成事之由与诸宫吉凶

The 101st Consideration is, To mark in Nativities or Questions, which Planet is the cutter off of life or years, or hinderer of a thing from being done? for he it is who destroys the life of the Native, &c. who is strongest in testimonies of dignities or power. Yet Messahala concealed this, and discovered the same and another useful secret onely to a certain Scholar of his, who out of pride appropriated the same to himself.

第一百零一则考量是：在本命或卜卦中，留意哪颗行星是截断生命或寿数之星，或阻碍事情办成之星？因为在尊贵或力量的见证上最强的那颗，就是毁灭本命者生命等等的星。不过马沙阿拉把这一点隐藏起来，只把它和另一个有用的秘诀透露给他的某个学生，那学生出于骄傲，把它据为己有。

Now, after thou hast found who is this destroyer, &c. then see to whom the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon is joyned (who participates in signification of every thing, as we have said before) or the Lord of the thing enquired after, and Lord of the House of the Moon, or one or more of them; for if it be joyned to a Planet Retrograde or Combust, or Cadent from the Ascendant, or any other Angle, or to any of the Infortunes who doth not receive him; or is afflicted by an Infortune, which cuts off the light of the Significator: the thing is destroyed, and so the years of the Native are diminished, and he lives not long.

你找出谁是这个毁灭者等等之后，再看上升主星或月亮（如我们前面说过，她参与一切事物的象征），或所问之事的主星，以及月亮所在之宫的主星，其中一颗或几颗，与谁相合；因为若它与一颗逆行的、焦伤的、或从上升点或任何其他角宫落下的行星相合，或与任何一颗不接纳它的凶星相合，或受一颗切断征象星光线的凶星侵害：事情就毁了，本命者的寿数也因而减少，活不长。

Further, if the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon, or the Lord of thing enquired after, be joyned to a Planet who is free from the Conjunction of the Infortunes, and so is safe as to himself, but is joyned to another Planet afflicted some of the aforesaid ways, the matter shall be brought to naught, even after it seems accomplish'd, and the Natives life shall be suddenly cut off, when there is all the probability that may be of the contrary: And this will also happen though there be no Conjunction with the killing Planet, if only the Significator, or Moon, be afflicted in manner aforesaid.

再者，若上升主星或月亮、或所问之事的主星，与一颗行星相合，而这颗行星没有与凶星会合，本身安然无事，却与另一颗以上述某种方式受克的行星相合，那么事情即使在看似已经办成之后，也会化为乌有；本命者的生命也会在一切迹象都看似相反之时，突然被截断：而且即使不与那颗杀星相合，只要征象星或月亮以上述方式受克，也会发生这种事。

The 102d Consideration is, Of things signified, how they shall be found or known, and from what Significator they are to be taken? which must be from the Significators of the Querent, and of the thing questioned or enquired after: which two Significators, if they shall be joyned together with the Moon, it signifies wholly and absolutely the effect of the thing; if not joyned, then the contrary. And from the Conjunction of the Significators we ought to know why, or by what the question is made.

第一百零二则考量是：所象征的事，怎样才能找到、知道，要从哪颗征象星取用？那必须取自问卜者的征象星与所问之事的征象星：这两颗征象星若与月亮一起相合，就完全、绝对地象征事情的成效；若不相合，就相反。从这两颗征象星的会合，我们应当知道这一问是为什么、或因什么而问的。

And by the Lord of the House in which such Conjunction happens, we know of what the question will be, or the end thereof; for if that be a Fortune, it will be good, according to the condition and signification of such Fortune, and the House wherein he is, and signification of the Lord of that House, and of the place in which the Lord is posited of that House wherein its self is. But if it be an Infortune, it will be bad, according to the signification of the Infortune, and such other positions as aforesaid.

由这次会合发生之宫的主星，我们知道这一问关乎什么、结局如何；因为若那是吉星，结局就好，按这颗吉星的状况与含义、它所在之宫、那宫之主的含义，以及它自身所在之宫的主星所在之处来判断。若是凶星，结局就坏，按这凶星的含义及上述其他位置来判断。

If the Lord of the House or Exaltation, or of any two smaller Dignities, casts an Aspect, or there be a translation of Light, you may know by that the question shall be brought to pass, but if there be none of these, it cannot be precisely known, but it will be by or from a cause not yet discovered; and by the Aspects of the Fortunes or Infortunes may be known what will be the effects.

若庙主或旺主，或任何两种较小尊贵的主星，投来相位，或有光线传递，你就可以由此知道这一问会办成；但若这些都没有，就无法确知，事情会因一个尚未显露的原因、或从这样的原因而来；从吉星或凶星的相位，可知会有怎样的效果。

The 103d Consideration is, To mind in Nativities and general Questions, in what House the part of Fortune happens; for from the things signified by that House will the fortune or gain of the Native or Querent arise, if the same be well disposed: otherwise the same will be cause of his misfortune and loss.

第一百零三则考量是：在本命和一般之问中，留意福点落在哪一宫；因为本命者或问卜者的财运或得益，将从那一宫所象征的事物中产生，前提是它配置良好：否则那同样的事物，就会成为他不幸与损失的原因。

The 104th Consideration is, To observe in Nativities and general Questions, whether the Significator of the Native or Querent be posited in the seventh from his own House, or in Opposition to the Lord of the Ascendant? for he will not in such case signifie gain from the things signified by that House, but rather expence and loss.

第一百零四则考量是：在本命和一般之问中，观察本命者或问卜者的征象星，是否落在从自己的庙数起的第七个星座，或与上升主星对冲？因为在这种情况下，它不会象征从那一宫所主的事物中得益，反倒是花费与损失。

The 105th Consideration is, To observe in Nativities or general Questions, whether that an Infortune unfortunate be in the seventh? for that signifies that the Native or Querent shall not live in peace or any delight with his wives, sweet-hearts, or companions, but will perpetually have brawls and quarrels with them; it seldom happens otherwise from such a position.

第一百零五则考量是：在本命或一般之问中，观察是否有一颗不幸的凶星在第七宫？因为那象征本命者或问卜者与妻子、情人或伙伴相处时不得安宁、毫无乐趣，而是永远与他们吵闹争执；这样的星位很少有例外。

The 106th Is to consider in Nativities and general Questions, if a Fortune fortunate, and no way afflicted, be in the seventh? for then the Native or Querent shall be happy in good wives and associates, yet shall have many rivals and persons that hate him, but rather out of envy than cause, so that he shall seldom bring his enterprizes and designs to pass, without much labour and trouble.

第一百零六则是要在本命和一般之问中考虑：是否有一颗幸运而毫不受克的吉星在第七宫？因为那时本命者或问卜者会有好妻子、好伙伴，很幸福；但也会有许多对手和恨他的人，多半出于嫉妒而非有理由，所以他的事业与计划很少能不费大力气、不经大麻烦就办成。

The 107th Is to consider in Nativities and general Questions, whether Mars be in the second or in the tenth, and well disposed? for it denotes that the Native or Querent shall gain a Fortune or Estate by those persons that deal or work in Iron and Fire, as Smiths, Furnace men, Glassmen, &c. or in Victualling, or keeping Innes, Taverns, &c. But if Mars be weak or afflicted, loss and damage from all those.

第一百零七则是要在本命和一般之问中考虑：火星是否在第二宫或第十宫，且配置良好？因为那表示本命者或问卜者将从与铁、火打交道或靠铁、火做工的人那里得财致富，如铁匠、炉工、玻璃匠等，或从供应食物、开客栈酒馆等营生中得财。但若火星弱或受克，就会从这一切人与事那里遭受损失与伤害。

The 108th Is to consider, If either of the Planets beholds two Houses? for his vertue and fortitude shall be in that wherein he hath most dignities, and which is most proper for him, and the thing he signifies.

第一百零八则是要考虑：是否有一颗行星照着两个宫？因为它的力量与强势，将落在它尊贵最多、对它和它所象征之事最合宜的那一宫。

The 109th Is to consider, Whether the Lord of the fifth be in the seventh afflicted? for then the Native will never be happy at Feasts or Banquets, either be averse from or sleighted at such meetings, or some affronts put upon him; nor will he ever go neat in his clothes, nor get any credit by them.

第一百零九则是要考虑：第五宫主是否在第七宫且受克？因为那时本命者在宴席筵会上永远不会快活，要么厌恶这种聚会，要么在会上受冷落，或受到某种侮辱；他的衣着也永远不会体面，也不会因衣着得到什么好名声。

The 110th Is to consider in Nativities, &c. whether Scorpio ascend? for such a Native is never like to get any great preferment in the Roman Church; because Cancer, the Exaltation of Jupiter, natural Significator of Clerks, will then be in the ninth House, which signifies the Church, and Jupiter is an enemy to Mars, who is Lord of the Ascendant.

第一百一十则是要在本命等中考虑：是否天蝎上升？因为这样的本命者，大概永远得不到罗马教会里的大升迁；因为那时巨蟹——木星之旺，而木星是神职人员的自然征象星——会落在象征教会的第九宫，而木星与上升主星火星为敌。

The 111th Is to consider in Nativities and Questions, especially of Law-suits and Controversies, whether the Dragons tail be in the seventh? for that signifies damage or overthrow to the Natives enemies, and prosperity to the Native or Querent, because the head will then be in the Ascendant. If it be in the eighth, it denotes the decay and loss of their estate or substance, and increase of the Natives. In the third, prejudice to the Natives Brethren. In the fourth, to his Parents. In the fifth, to his Children. In the sixth, to his Servants.

第一百一十一则是要在本命与卜卦中，尤其诉讼与争端的问题里考虑：南交点是否在第七宫？因为那象征本命者的敌人受损或败北，本命者或问卜者兴旺，因为那时北交点会在上升。若它在第八宫，表示敌人的产业财物衰败损失，而本命者的增加。在第三宫，不利于本命者的兄弟。在第四宫，不利于他的父母。在第五宫，不利于他的子女。在第六宫，不利于他的仆人。

In the ninth, to his Journeys. In the tenth, to his Preferment. In the eleventh, to his Friends. In the twelfth, to his Cattel of the greater sort, &c. and so to all other things signified by each House respectively; so do Saturn and Mars also, but not so much. Likewise 'tis observable, that other ill positions may make void the said significations, but not so much as Saturn and Mars, unless they themselves are Significators of the mischief, and then much of their malice is abated.

在第九宫，不利于他的远行。在第十宫，不利于他的升迁。在第十一宫，不利于他的朋友。在第十二宫，不利于他的大牲畜，等等；对每一宫所象征的其他一切事物都是如此；土星和火星也有同样的作用，只是没那么重。同样值得注意的是，别的不良星位也可能使上述的象征落空，但不如土星和火星那样厉害，除非它们本身就是这祸害的征象星，那时它们的恶意就大大减弱。

The 112th Is strictly to examine and regard in every Nativity or Question the Ascendant; for whosoever shall have Virgo ascend, and Mercury in a good condition, or at least not afflicted; if he study and practise Physick, he shall have success, and do great cures, but shall be unhappy in his salary or profit thereby; not being able to get his fees of most of his Patients: and besides, shall be unhappy in Law-suits.

第一百一十二则是要在每一个本命或卜卦中，严格审视、重视上升点；因为凡是处女上升、而水星状况良好、或至少不受克的人，若去学医行医，会很成功，能治好大病，但在诊金收入上不走运，大多数病人的诊费都收不到：此外，在诉讼上也不走运。

But if he follow the Law, he shall be unfortunate in all his business, and slighted; his words, though never so prudent, not regarded, no not by them for whose advantage he speaks, but a fools discourse prefer'd; and whatever he meddles in shall fadge untowardly, and people be his enemies without cause, and asperse and scandalize him they know not why.

但他若从事法律，就会诸事不顺、受人轻视；他的话无论多么明智都没人理会，连他为之说话、受他好处的人也不理会，反倒偏爱蠢人的言论；他插手的无论什么事都会别别扭扭，人们会无缘无故与他为敌，莫名其妙地诽谤中伤他。

But far otherwise will it be if Sagittarius, Taurus, or Pisces ascend, and Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, shall be all in the Ascendant, or if Jupiter and Venus shall happen to be in Zaminium, or the heart of the Sun, whatever the Ascendant be, the Native shall be admired as a Prophet, and all his words received as Oracles, or the dictates of destiny.

但若射手、金牛或双鱼上升，而木星、金星和水星都在上升宫，情形就大不相同；又或木星与金星恰在日心，即太阳的心脏，那么无论上升的是什么，本命者都会被人当作先知景仰，他的一切话都被当作神谕，或命运的宣告来接受。

The 113th Is to consider, Whether either of the Infortunes be in the 9th House, and without Dignities? for then the Native or Querent shall be often blamed and accused, and that without cause, as much as for one: But if Fortune be there well affected (especially having dignity there) he shall on the other side be praised, applauded, and honoured, whether there because or reason for it or no.

第一百一十三则是要考虑：是否有一颗凶星在第九宫而毫无尊贵？因为那时本命者或问卜者会常常受人指责控告，而且无缘无故，就像真有其事一样：但若吉星在那里而状况良好（尤其在那里有尊贵），他反倒会受人称赞、喝彩、尊崇，不管有没有缘由或道理。

The 114th Is to consider, Whether the Lord of the eighth be a Fortune, and in the second? for then the Native or Querent shall gain considerably by the goods of people deceased, of his enemies, and by his wives, especially if such Planet shall be free from impediment, or have dignities there. But if an Infortune be there, it signifies loss and decay of the Natives estate, unless he have dignities there, and be otherwise well affected, and in good condition, for then it will be little or no prejudice; but without dignities, and in an ill state, it wholly and totally destroys and ruins all hopes of estate.

第一百一十四则是要考虑：第八宫主是否为吉星且在第二宫？因为那时本命者或问卜者会从死者的财物、从他的敌人、从他的妻子那里大有所得，尤其若这颗行星不受阻碍，或在那里有尊贵。但若是凶星在那里，象征本命者产业的损失与衰败，除非他在那里有尊贵，又在别的方面状况良好，那时就几乎没有什么损害；但若没有尊贵、处境又坏，就会彻底摧毁一切置产的希望。
