卡丹警句·疾病　卧床之盘、体液与用药择时

1. In sickness, the Ascendant shall signify the Patient, the seventh house the disease, the Luminaries the Patient's strength, the Infortunes the strength of the disease, but the eighth house has always a share in the signification.

第一则：病中，上升代表病人，第七宫代表病，两光代表病人的元气，凶星代表病的力量，而第八宫始终在征象中占有一份。

第二则：月亮趋近性质与病相反的行星，尤其若它们是吉星，病就会转好。

3. When the Moon in the beginning of a sickness (which is called the Decumbiture of the Patient) shall be either under the Sun beams or with the Dragon's Tail, Saturn or Mars, it threatens extraordinary danger, and if the party be old, even her conjunction with Jupiter, Mercury, or Venus, is not without peril; the same but nothing so grievous may be feared when she is in square or opposition to any of them, but if besides all this she shall happen to have been in their places in the Patient's geniture, he will certainly die.

第三则：病起之初（这叫病人的卧床之盘），月亮若在太阳光下，或与龙尾、土星、火星同在，预示非常的危险；病人若年老，就连她与木星、水星或金星会合也不无危险；她与上述任何一星成四分或对冲时，也可担心同样的事，只是远没有那么严重；但若除了这一切之外，她恰好又落在这些星在病人命盘中的位置上，他必死无疑。

6. When you find the Figure at the beginning of a grievous distemper to appear much more mild and favourable than the distemper, you may conclude the disease contracts its malignity from the Nativity, the principal places falling upon some disastrous configurations.

第八则：你若发现一个人年过五十，仍为沉重而频繁的疾病所苦，可以断定他根盘中的生命征象星为某颗凶星的星体或相位所重创。

9. When the Moon is in a fixed sign physic works the less, and if in Aries, Taurus, or Capricorn it will be apt to prove nauseous and very distasteful to the Patient.

第十二则：根盘中的生命征象星强旺，对自然而生的病大有帮助，对意外之伤则帮助甚微，或毫无帮助。

13. When the Moon is with Venus, Choler is better and more safely expelled; and when she is with Jupiter, Melancholy.

第十三则：月亮与金星同在时，黄胆汁排出得更好、更安全；与木星同在时，黑胆汁亦然。

14. Every immoderate Position of the Heavens to Persons weak and aged, brings death; to others violent accidents and grievous calamities.

20. From the Moon's applications to the Fortunes or good aspect of the Sun, the same being neither contrary to the disease, nor afflicted, nor in the power of the Infortunes:—health may be expected, but by her going to the Infortunes of like nature with the disease, or ill beams of the Sun, death is to be feared.

第二十则：月亮趋近吉星，或趋近太阳的吉相位，而那颗星既不与病相违、也不受克、也不在凶星的掌控之下，可望康复；但若她走向与病同性的凶星，或走向太阳的凶光，则恐有死亡。

22.

第二十二则：两光在白羊会合，若金星与水星在那里逆行，会引起变故与死亡；若这会合发生在天蝎、处女或任何人形星座，情形相同；同样，若这样的会合落在卧床之盘的第六、第七或第八宫，又在凶星的相位之内，病人将陷于大危险。

23. Mars in the Ascendant at the Decumbiture, makes the disease, swift, violent, afflicting the upper parts and disturbing the mind; and if besides this, the dispositors of the Luminaries and Ascendant happen to be afflicted, death will follow; the like if both the Luminaries be Cadent from Angles, and not assisted by the Fortunes; but if in such a position, the Fortunes strong shall have dominion in two places, the disease will be changed from Acute to Chronic, and the Patient at last will escape beyond hope.

第二十三则：卧床之时火星在上升，使病来得快而猛烈，侵袭身体上部，扰乱心神；若此外两光与上升的定位星又受克，死亡将随之而来；若两光都从四角落入果宫，又无吉星相助，情形也一样；但在这样的配置中，若强旺的吉星在两处有主宰之权，病就会由急症转为慢性病，病人终将出乎意料地逃脱。

24. From the first hour of the day (or one in the morning inclusive) till six, blood predominates, whence morning sleeps become so sweet and pleasant; from thence to noon, Choler, afternoon Phlegm, and from the beginning of the Night till mid-night, Melancholy.

第二十五则：太阳衰弱时，土星在火象星座致消耗热；木星致血热，若火星照看他，则致腐败热；火星在这类星座给各种灼热；金星给一日热，若掺入火星的光线，则给由黏液而生的腐败热；水星给混合热，但若月亮与他相会，她会造成由体液腐坏而生的黏液热；

Saturn mixing signification with Mars, causes Melancholy fevers, and if Mars be under the Sun in the sixth or twelfth house in fiery Signs, or being so posited shall cast his beams on the Significator of life, or the Lord of the Ascendant of the Revolution, or if the Lord of the Ascendant or Significator of life apply to his aspects by direction, it occasions burning pernicious fevers and like to venomous ones; but if to these, Saturn or the Dragon's Head or Tail, or Venus Combust be added, or if these Planets shall be posited in Scorpio or Leo, the fever will be altogether pestilential.

土星与火星征象相混，致黑胆汁热；若火星在火象星座、在太阳光下而落在第六或第十二宫，或如此落位而把光线投向生命征象星或回归盘的上升主星，或者上升主星或生命征象星经推运趋近他的相位，就会引起凶险的灼热，近于中毒之热；若在这些之外再加上土星、龙头或龙尾，或焦伤的金星，或这些行星落在天蝎或狮子，这热病便全然是瘟疫性的。

第二十八则：月亮在斜升星座、处于太阳光下又受火星对冲之时，截肢或失去任何肢体，将是致命的时刻。

29. A tedious travail and delivery in child-birth is to be expected, when the Moon is aspected by the Infortunes, and in an oblique sign, and a Planet retrograde or slow of Motion is in the Ascendant.

第四十则：病的征象星在第六宫，或第六宫主在第八宫，或第八宫主在第六宫，都是非常坏的征兆。

41. Mercury significator of a disease in aspect with Saturn, or Saturn significator in aspect of Mercury, gives suspicion of witchcraft and enchantment.

第四十一则：水星为病的征象星而与土星成相位，或土星为征象星而与水星成相位，就有被巫术与蛊咒所害的嫌疑。

42. A chronical disease (that is a disease which usually continues above a month) is ruled by the motion of the Sun; acute diseases (which are more sharp and violent but less lasting) by the motion of the Moon, according to whose swifter or slower motion the critical times are either hastened or retarded, the same being when the Moon comes to a sign contrary in both qualities to that in which she was in the beginning of the disease.

第四十二则：慢性病（即通常持续一个月以上的病）由太阳的运行主宰；急症（来得更急更猛、但较不持久）由月亮的运行主宰，危期依她行速的快慢而提早或推迟，危期就在月亮走到一个与病起时她所在星座两种性质都相反的星座之时。

43.
