博纳提·第一百二十六至一百三十二则　本命的心智、性情与横死

The 126th Consideration is, To take notice in Nativities or Questions, whether Mercury be Significator wholly or in part fortunate and strong, and in Capricorn or Aquarius? for then the Native shall be of a profound and piercing wit, and great understanding; one that shall dive into the bottom of things, and see from the beginning what the issue will be; and so much the more, if Saturn's fortunate shall behold Mercury with a good Aspect, especially if Mercury be in Aquarius, which is the delight of Saturn; and still more if a Fortune shall be with Mercury and he with one of the propitious fixed Stars.

第一百二十六则：在本命或卜卦中，要留意水星是否为征象星——全部或部分地是——并且吉、强，又落在摩羯或水瓶？若是，此人将有深邃锐利的才智与宏大的理解力，能深究事物的底蕴，从开头就看出结局会怎样；若土星吉而以良好的相位照看水星，更是如此，尤其当水星在水瓶，那是土星所喜之处；若再有一颗吉星与水星同在，而水星又与一颗吉祥的恒星同在，就更进一层。

But if Mercury be in Aries or Scorpio, the Native will be bold, perfidious, unconstant, arrogant, and yet quick of apprehension; rather nimble to repeat or find out things said by others, than invent them himself.

但若水星在白羊或天蝎，此人会大胆、不守信、无常、傲慢，但领悟得快；与其说他善于自己发明，不如说他善于复述或找出别人说过的东西。

The 127th Consideration is, To observe in Nativities, if the Lord of the Ascendant be Saturn or Mars, and sole Lord of the Nativity, without any Fortune pertaking in the dominion, the taste or smelling of the Native, or his complexion, shall not be like those of other men, for if it be Saturn, he shall delight in sowr or insipid things, as Haly on Ptolomy avers; if it be Mars, in sharp and bitter, Flesh half stinking, Wine dead, and pall'd Aloes, snuffs of candles, dung, &c. as also with filthy, dirty unhandsome women, more than in others; or if it be a woman, in the homeliest men, &c.

第一百二十七则：在本命中要观察，上升主星是否为土星或火星，并且是本命唯一的主星，没有任何吉星分享主宰之权；若是，此人的味觉、嗅觉或体质就会与别人不一样：若是土星，他会喜欢酸的或淡而无味的东西，正如哈利论托勒密时所断言；若是火星，则喜欢辛辣苦涩之物、半臭的肉、走了气的酒、变了味的芦荟、烛花、粪秽等等；在女人方面也一样，比起别的女人，他更喜欢污秽、邋遢、不体面的女人；若命主是女人，她就偏喜欢最粗陋的男人，等等。

The 128th Consideration is, In Nativities, whether the Ascendant be a human Sign, or the Lord of it in a human Sign? for that signifies the Native an honest, sociable and neighbourly man, more especially if both happen together: But if the Ascendant carry the similitude of some creature which men use to labour with, as Aries, Taurus, the last part of Sagittarius and Capricorn, the Native is very submiss and humble to men, yet very sociable:

第一百二十八则：在本命中，要看上升星座是否为人形星座，或上升主星是否落在人形星座？因为这表示此人正直、合群、与邻里和睦，若两者同时出现更是如此；但若上升星座带有某种人们用来劳作的牲畜的形象，如白羊、金牛、射手的后半段和摩羯，此人对人十分顺从谦卑，不过仍很合群；

But if it be a Sign half feral, as Cancer and Pisces, he will be yet less sociable; but if it be a feral, furious or salvane Sign, as Leo and Scorpio, he will be of a bruitish savage temper, delighting in the woods, hunting, and living upon spoil and rapine; caring not to associate himself with men, so that he seldom remains long with his own Parents, or nearest Relations.

但若是半野性的星座，如巨蟹和双鱼，他就不那么合群；若是野性、凶猛或野蛮的星座，如狮子和天蝎，他会有粗野残暴的脾气，喜欢林野与狩猎，靠掠夺劫掠过活；不愿与人交往，因此很少长久留在自己父母或最近的亲属身边。

The 129th Consideration is, To observe in Nativities, whether the Moon be in Opposition to the Sun, with any of the Stars called Cloudy, which are Althazaic, and the Head of Gemini. or in a place called The Place of falling into the water, which Aquarius spouts forth, or the drops of the Lion, said to be near his heart, and others which by reason of their mixture with each other do not shine distinctly.

第一百二十九则：在本命中要观察，月亮是否与太阳对冲，并且与某颗所谓「云雾状」的星同在——这类星有阿尔塔扎伊克、双子之首——或在一个叫「坠入水中之处」的地方，即水瓶倾泻出水的地方，或在狮子的「水滴」，据说靠近狮子的心，以及其他由于彼此混杂、不能清楚发光的星。

For when the Moon shall not be above 10 minutes distance from them, according to Longitude and Latitude, it seems unavoidable, that the Native shall have diseases in his eyes, not to be remedied by any human help or medicine. If the Moon be then accidental in an Angle, and Mars and Saturn likewise accidental, nor far distant from her, or opposing the Sun in any of the Angles, it signifies that the Native shall be blind of both eyes at his death; nor does there appear any way whereby it may be prevented:

因为当月亮与它们的距离，按黄经与黄纬都不超过十分时，此人似乎难免要患眼疾，任何人力医药都治不好。若月亮那时偶然落在角宫，火星与土星也偶然在角宫，离她不远，或在任一角宫与太阳对冲，就表示此人到死时双目失明；看不出有什么办法可以避免。

But if it be not of Luminaries, but only one, he shall lose but one eye; if it be Sol, and a man, the right eye; if a woman, the left eye; but if it be the Moon, and a man, the left eye; but if a woman, the right eye.

但若不是两光都如此，而只是一颗，他就只失去一只眼；若是太阳而命主为男，是右眼；若为女，是左眼；但若是月亮而为男，是左眼；若为女，是右眼。

The 130th Consideration is, To regard in Nativities, whether the Moon be joyned with Mercury by Body or Aspect, or there be a translation of light by any Planet between them? if there be nothing of this, and the Sign ascending be neither of the nature of Mercury or the Moon, and Saturn in a Diurnal Nativity, and Mars in a Nocturnal, and one be in an Angle, the Native will be mad, distracted, troubled with fits, a fool, or at least exceeding forgetful, unless a Fortune very strong shall at the same time behold the Ascendant, Mercury or the Moon; and so much the worse, if the Angle wherein such Infortune is happen to be Cancer, which is the Exaltation of Jupiter or Virgo, the Exaltation of Mercury or Pisces, the Exaltation of Venus:

第一百三十则：在本命中要注意，月亮是否以星体或相位与水星相连，或有某颗行星在二者之间传递光线？若都没有，而上升星座既不属水星之性也不属月亮之性，又在昼生的本命中有土星、夜生的本命中有火星，且其中一颗在角宫，此人就会发狂、心神错乱、为发作所苦、成为愚人，至少也极其健忘，除非同时有一颗极强的吉星照看上升、水星或月亮；若那颗凶星所在的角宫恰是巨蟹——木星之旺，或处女——水星之旺，或双鱼——金星之旺，那就更坏。

The reason is, because the Moon in Nativities is the general Significatrix of the Natives person, and the Planet with whom she is joyned, or its faculties and powers; and therefore if she be corporally joyned or applying to such Planet, the Native will prove of good understanding, and very well retain his senses and intellectuals.

理由在于：在本命中，月亮是此人身体的总征象星，而与她相连的那颗行星，则是此人的才能与心力的征象星；所以若她以星体与这颗行星相会，或正在入相于它，此人便会理解力良好，五官与心智都保持得很好。

And if Mercury be in Capricorn or Aquarius not afflicted, but in good condition, the Native will be of an exceeding wit, and a great Philosopher; and if Jupiter and Venus be in (Zamini Solis) he will prove an Hermite or kind of Prophet, whose words shall be received as Oracles beyond those of other men.

若水星在摩羯或水瓶，未受克而状态良好，此人会有超群的才智，成为大哲学家；若木星与金星在日核之中，他会成为隐士或某种先知，他的话会比别人的话更被人当作神谕来接受。

The 131st Consideration is, To take notice in the Nativity of a man, whether the Sun and Moon be both in Masculine Signs, or both in one Masculine Quarter, or one Masculine Sign; for if so, it signifies that the Native's acts and temper shall be naturally such as belongs to men: But in a womans Nativity, the Luminaries so disposed make a kind of Virago, one that shall dispise men, and obtrude her self into their affairs; and such a one, if she marry, will be sure to wear the breeches.

第一百三十一则：在男人的本命中，要留意太阳与月亮是否都在阳性星座，或都在同一个阳性象限，或在同一个阳性星座；若是，表示此人的行为与性情天生就合于男子；但在女人的本命中，两光如此安排，便成了一种女丈夫，她会轻视男人，硬要插手他们的事；这样的女人若是结婚，必定是她当家作主。

If Venus and Mars shall be both in Masculine Signs, the Native will be moderately affected towards the delights of Venus, and use them according to Nature and Law; but if they happen to be Oriental, he will be more salacious and immoderate, inclinable to Incest, Sodomy, &c. But if they be Occidental, and in Feminine Signs, his sports will be nasty and bruitish; and so much the more, if Saturn cast any Aspects to them:

若金星与火星都在阳性星座，此人对金星之乐会有节制，照着自然与法度去享用；但若二者东出，他会更为淫荡、无节制，倾向乱伦、鸡奸等等。但若二者西入，又在阴性星座，他的嬉戏就会污秽而粗野；若土星对它们投以任何相位，就更甚。

But if it be a woman, and Mars and Venus Oriental, and in Masculine Signs, she will abhor mens embraces, and take no delight therein, but rather please her self with some little wantonness with persons of her own sex. But if Mars and Venus be in Feminine Signs, and Occidental, she will love and take delight in mens kindness. And Ptolomy in his Centiloquium affirms, That if Venus be joyned with Saturn in a Nativity, and have Dignities in the seventh, the Native shall be somewhat faulty and untoward in his venerial caresses.

但若是女人，而火星与金星东出、在阳性星座，她会厌恶男人的拥抱，不以为乐，宁可与同性的人有些轻佻之举。但若火星与金星在阴性星座而西入，她会喜爱并乐于接受男人的亲近。托勒密在他的《金言百则》里断言：若在本命中金星与土星相会，又在第七宫有尊贵，此人在男女欢爱上会有些毛病、不大顺遂。

The 132d Is to mark in Nativities, Whether Mars be corporally joyned with a certain fiery Star of his own nature in Taurus, called Agol, so that they are not above 16 minutes asunder, Mars applying thereunto, and the Lord of the House wherein the Luminary for the time ruling is posited, which is called the Lord Anauba, or of its Exaltation, and two others of its Dignities, and shall be in Opposition or Square of Mars, and neither of the Fortunes shall behold the Ascendant, nor be posited in the eighth House; it undoubtedly signifies the Native shall be beheaded.

第一百三十二则：要在本命中留意，火星是否以星体会合金牛座里一颗与他同性的火热之星，名叫大陵五，二者相距不超过十六分，且火星正入相于它；又，当令之光所在之庙的主星——此星称为阿瑙巴之主——或其旺的主星，以及它另外两种尊贵的主星，与火星成对冲或四分；而且两颗吉星都不照看上升，也不在第八宫；那么毫无疑问，此人将被斩首。

And if Mars shall not be distant from it in Latitude above 6 minutes, it will infallibly happen so, not to be avoided but by God alone. And though a Fortune, Retrograde or Combust should behold the Ascendant, yet it will scarce preserve him from beheading; only in such case it may happen not to be occasioned by his own fault; for a Fortune in such a case not impedited, may save him from such an ill death, and permit him to die in his bed; but then it will be of some capital disease, proceeding from a hot house and this before he comes to be fifty years of age.

若火星与它的黄纬相差不超过六分，这事必定发生，除了神以外无可避免。即使有一颗逆行或焦伤的吉星照看上升，也几乎保不住他免于斩首；只是在这种情形下，事情可能不是因他自己的过错而起；因为在这种情形下，一颗未受阻碍的吉星，可以救他免于这样的恶死，让他死在床上；但那时他会死于某种致命的病，出于热性的原因，而且在他五十岁以前。

But if Mars shall not be thus affected, yet if an Infortune be in the eighth, the Native shall come to an untimely or ignominious end; but if a Fortune be there in good state, he shall expire naturally; but if such Fortune be afflicted, he shall die of some mischance coming upon him. Ptolomy in his Centiloquium tells us, That if the light of the Time shall happen to be in the mid heaven (I say in the conditions aforesaid) such Native shall be hanged.

但若火星不是这样受害，而有一颗凶星在第八宫，此人会死得不得其时或不光彩；若有一颗吉星在那里且状态良好，他会自然寿终；但若这颗吉星受克，他会死于某种意外的灾祸。托勒密在他的《金言百则》里告诉我们：若当令之光在中天（我是说在前述条件之下），这样的人会被绞死。

If either of the Infortunes be in Gemini, and the other in Pisces, his hands or feet shall be cut off, according to the signification of the Sign wherein the Planet is posited, which is most malevolent. If Mars be in Conjunction with the Lord of the Ascendant in Leo, and hath no Dignities in the Ascendant, nor either of the Fortunes in the eighth, the Native shall be burnt to death; and if Mars be then Retrograde, Combust, or in his fall, it will be for some crime, otherwise by mischance, or unjustly.

若一颗凶星在双子、另一颗在双鱼，他的手或脚会被砍去，依那颗最凶的行星所在星座的意义而定。若火星在狮子与上升主星会合，而在上升没有尊贵，两颗吉星也都不在第八宫，此人会被火烧死；若火星那时逆行、焦伤或在落，那是因为某种罪行，否则就是意外，或受冤屈。

Ptolomy saith, That if Saturn in a Nativity be in the mid-heaven, and the Planet to which he is Anauba a Dispositor be in Opposition to him, and a dry Sign on the Cusp of the fourth, the Native shall be knockt o'th' the head, and die by some ruins falling on him; but if a moist Sign be there, he shall be drowned; but if it be an human Sign, he will be strangled.

托勒密说：若在本命中土星在中天，而那颗以土星为阿瑙巴之主（即定位星）的行星与他对冲，第四宫宫首又是干燥的星座，此人会被砸破头，死于倒塌之物压身；但若那里是潮湿的星座，他会淹死；但若是人形星座，他会被勒死。

If Mars or Saturn be in the Ascendant at birth, and Peregrine, the Native shall have a skar or mark on his face or head; if the Infortune be afflicted, Combust or Retrograde, the same will be very deformed, and much disfigure him, otherwise not.

若火星或土星在出生时位于上升而游离无尊贵，此人的脸上或头上会有疤痕或印记；若这颗凶星受克、焦伤或逆行，那疤痕会很难看，大大损其容貌，否则不然。
