博纳提·第一百三十三至一百四十则　财富、才艺、尊荣与龙尾

The 133d Consideration is, To mark in Nativities, whether Gemini or Sagittarius ascend, and whether its Lord be well disposed, that is, fortunate and strong, and likewise the Moon? for that signifies, that if the Native live, he will get great riches. If Virgo or Pisces ascend, and its Lord, or the Moon, be well affected, he shall get money, and lay the same out well, and live splendidly, being beloved for his generosity and bounty.

第一百三十三则：在本命中要留意，是否双子或射手上升，其主星是否安置得好，即吉而强，月亮也是如此？若是，这表示此人若能活下来，会得到大笔财富。若处女或双鱼上升，而其主星或月亮状态良好，他会得钱，又花得得当，生活体面，因慷慨大方而受人爱戴。

But in the other case, where the Ascendant is Gemini or Sagittarius, he will not be so liberal, but very frugal and sparing; besides, he who hath Gemini or Virgo for his Ascendant, may lose his estate, and come to want; but he that hath Sagittarius or Pisces, shall never lose his means, nor fall into poverty. If Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn, or Aquarius ascend, the Native will be miserably covetous, if Jupiter behold the Ascendant, he may somewhat mitigate the sordid humour, but will not wholly prevent or take it away.

但在另一种情形，即上升是双子或射手时，他就不那么慷慨，而是十分节俭吝省；此外，以双子或处女为上升的人，可能失去家产、陷入匮乏；而以射手或双鱼为上升的人，永远不会失去他的财源，也不会落入贫穷。若白羊、天蝎、摩羯或水瓶上升，此人会吝啬得可怜，若木星照看上升，可以稍稍缓和这种卑琐的脾气，但不能完全防止或去掉它。

The 134th Consideration is, To mind in Nativities, whether Mars or Venus be in the sixth, and otherwise well disposed? for that signifies that the Native shall be not really fit for Physick, and grow a perfect Doctor in every part of the Art. If Mercury be in Conjunction with Venus, and she Retrograde, he will make naturally a good Singer; but if Mercury be in the twelfth, not afflicted, he will be studious and famous in most Sciences, especially Philosophy.

第一百三十四则：在本命中要留意，火星或金星是否在第六宫，而在别的方面也安置得好？若是，表示此人不仅适合行医，还会成为医术各方面都完备的医生。若水星与金星会合，而金星逆行，他天生会是好歌手；但若水星在第十二宫而未受克，他会好学，在大多数学问上，尤其在哲学上，享有盛名。

The 135th Consideration is, To consider in Nativities, whether the Lord of the Ascendant, and the Moon, and Jupiter, and Venus, are either all in the Ascendant, or whether Jupiter and Venus behold the Lord of the Ascendant, and the Moon in the Ascendant by a Trine or Sextile, and free from affliction? for then the Native will prove very strong and couragious, and none will dare to disobey his commands.

第一百三十五则：在本命中要考虑，上升主星、月亮、木星与金星是否全都在上升，或木星与金星是否以三分或六分照看上升主星，以及在上升的月亮，并且未受克？若是，此人会非常强壮勇敢，没有人敢违抗他的命令。

The 136th Consideration is, To note in the Nativities of Kings and Rich Men, and such Grandees as are fit to bear rule, whether both Luminaries are in the Degrees of their Exaltations, or in their own Houses in the same Degree one with the other, and free from affliction? for this signifies that the Native shall obtain great honours; for he shall be made Emperor, or something like it: so that he shall be as it were Monarch of the World, which shall continue to the fourth generation of his posterity.

第一百三十六则：在国王、富人以及适合掌权的大人物的本命中，要留意两光是否都在各自旺的度数上，或在各自的庙里且彼此度数相同，并且未受克？因为这表示此人将得到极大的荣誉；他会被立为皇帝，或类似的地位，好像成了世界的君主，这种荣耀会延续到他的第四代子孙。

But if all the Planets below Jupiter shall be disposed of by him, and he shall receive vertue from every of them, notwithstanding the condition aforesaid, and afterwards commit both them and himself to Saturn, and both be Oriental from the Sun and in Angles, the Native will be a person of great renown and power, although perhaps not with the title of King; but his fame shall endure for a long time, that is to say, all his life time; and after his death for three revolutions of Saturn, or longer.

但若木星以下的所有行星都由他定位，而他又从每一颗得到力量，即使前述条件不具备，而他随后又把它们和他自己都交付给土星，二者又都对太阳东出并在角宫，此人会是一个极有声名与权力的人，虽然或许没有国王的称号；但他的名声会长久流传，就是说，终其一生；他死后还会流传土星的三个周期，或者更久。

The 137th Consideration is, To see whether Mercury be in Conjunction with Saturn in the Ascendant? for that signifies that the Native is a foolish talkative fellow, that would be counted wise; he shall speak ill of all, both men and women; the greatest wit he hath is to invent many lies; nor doth he ever open his mouth, but something of untruth appears intermixt with his discourse; so natural it will be for him to tell lies: Saturn gives him a foul tongue, and Mercury a sharpness of malice to employ it.

第一百三十七则：要看水星是否在上升与土星会合？若是，表示此人是个愚蠢多嘴的家伙，却想被人当作聪明人；他会说所有人的坏话，男人女人都一样；他最大的聪明就是编出许多谎话；他一张嘴，话里就总夹着些不实之词；说谎对他来说是如此自然：土星给他一条脏舌头，水星给他使用这舌头的恶毒锋芒。

The 138th Consideration is, To see in Nativities, whether the two Infortunes are in the fourth House, or whether the Angles are possest with movable Signs, and Mars and Saturn in them? for then the Native will be poor, wretched, and infortunate above all others, all his life time, unless Jupiter, or the Lord of the Triplicity ascending, prevent.

第一百三十八则：要在本命中看，两颗凶星是否在第四宫，或者四角是否都被启动星座占据，而火星和土星就在其中？若是，此人一辈子都会贫穷、困苦、比谁都不幸，除非木星或上升三方主出来阻止。

The 139th Consideration is, To be careful both in Nativities and Questions, where the Dragons tail is? for that signifies the wasting and destruction of the thing signified by that House, and especially if it relate to gain: for in the first it signifies expences, and loss of gain to the Querent, from or by reason of his person; in the second destruction, and loss of money and substance; and in the third, loss by means of Brethren, Sisters, Neighbours; &c. in the fourth, damage that one shall sustain by ones Grand-father, Father-in-law, and such things relating to inheritances, and that the Native shall change houses often, and get little by it: in the fifth, damage from or by reason of Children; in the sixth, losses by Servants, or small Cattel; in the seventh, loss by Women, Companions, or open Enemies; in the ninth, loss by Religious men, and on the account of Religion; in the tenth, by or in his preferments, honours, &c. in the eleventh, loss by his Friends, or for their sakes; and in the twelfth, damage sustained by great Cattel, or by means of hidden Enemies.

第一百三十九则：无论本命还是卜卦，都要仔细看龙尾在哪里？因为它表示那一宫所主之事的耗损与毁坏，尤其与得利有关的事：在第一宫，它表示问卜者因自身、或为了自身而破费、失去所得；在第二宫，表示钱财家产的毁坏与损失；在第三宫，因兄弟、姊妹、邻居等而受损；在第四宫，受祖父、岳父以及与遗产有关的事所害，并表示此人会常常搬家，而所得甚少；在第五宫，因子女而受损；在第六宫，因仆人或小牲畜而受损；在第七宫，因女人、伙伴或公开的敌人而受损；在第九宫，因宗教人士、因宗教的缘故而受损；在第十宫，在他的升迁、荣誉等事上受损；在第十一宫，因朋友或为了朋友而受损；在第十二宫，因大牲畜或因暗中的敌人而受害。

The 140th Consideration is, To see whether the Significator of the thing in question, or the Moon, be so weak that it cannot bring the matter to perfection? and if they be, take the Significator of the Querent and thing enquired after, and substract the lesser from the greater, and add to the reminder the degrees of the Sign ascending, and project what they amount unto from the Ascendant, and observe where it happens; for the Lord of that Sign signifies what was enquired of, and according to his condition shalt thou give judgment, as thou findest him fortunate and strong, or infortunate and weak:

第一百四十则：要看所问之事的征象星或月亮是否太弱，以致不能把事情办成？若是，就取问卜者的征象星和所问之事的征象星，以大减小，在余数上加上上升星座的度数，从上升起投射所得之数，看它落在哪里；那个星座的主星便表示所问之事，你要按他的状态下判断，看他是吉而强，还是凶而弱：

For if the business concern a mans estate, and he be placed in the second, as he is so shall the Querents estate prove; if in the third, the Brethren will be disposed accordingly; in the fourth, those of greatest Relations; in the fifth, the Children; in the sixth, Servants; in the seventh, Wives; in the eighth, Wives portions; in the ninth, long Journeys; in the tenth, his Preferments; in the eleventh, his Friends; in the twelfth, his Enemies.

因为若事情关乎一个人的家产，而他落在第二宫，他怎样，问卜者的家产就会怎样；若在第三宫，兄弟就会照此而定；在第四宫，是关系最近的长亲；在第五宫，是子女；在第六宫，是仆人；在第七宫，是妻子；在第八宫，是妻子的嫁妆；在第九宫，是远行；在第十宫，是他的升迁；在第十一宫，是他的朋友；在第十二宫，是他的敌人。
