博纳提·第二十一至三十八则　月亮的去来与凶星的性情

The 21 Consideration is, To see from what planet the Moon separates; for that signifies what is past of the business: as from a Fortune the good, from an Infortunes the ill that hath been.

第二十一则：看月亮正离开哪颗行星；因为这表示此事已经过去的情形：离开吉星，是过去有过的好事；离开凶星，是过去有过的坏事。

The 22 Consideration is, To note which of the planets the Moon is now joyned to, for that signifies what is now present; and from thence we must judge of the present state of any matter.

第二十二则：留意月亮此刻正与哪颗行星相会，因为这表示眼下的情形；我们须由此判断任何事情现在的状况。

The 23 Consideration is, To behold to whom the Moon is now joyning, so as her Conjunction is not yet compleated; for that signifies what is to come; wherefore if thou wouldst judge of a thing, which as yet is not, but 'tis hoped will hereafter be brought to pass, 'tis necessary then thou shouldest see to whom the Moon will next joyn; and according to her Significations, judge whether good or evil

第二十三则：察看月亮正趋近谁，而这次会合尚未完成；因为这表示将来之事。所以，倘若你要判断一件尚未发生、但盼望日后能成的事，就必须看月亮接下来与谁相会；再依那颗行星的征象，判断是吉是凶。

The 24 Consideration is, To note whether the planet who is Significator, be in his Declension, for then it causes a hinderance to every thing thereby signified, and trouble and grief about it; and if the Question be about a prison wherein the querent fears he shall be put; it signifies he shall be cast into the same together with disgrace and prejudice; and if the Question concerns one already in Prison, it signifies a tedious confinement and more affliction then he believes.

第二十四则：留意作为征象星的行星是否处于衰落之中；若是，它所征象的每件事都会受阻，并为此生出烦扰与忧伤。若问题关乎问卜者害怕自己将被关进的监牢，这表示他将被投入其中，并蒙受羞辱与损害；若问题关乎已在狱中的人，这表示拘禁漫长，苦楚比他料想的更多。

The 25 Consideration is, Whether the Planet that is Significator be Retrograde, or Stationary to Retrogradation; for then it signifies mischief and damage, discord, contradiction, and going backwards with damage; yet being stationary, is not so bad, as being retrograde: For the last notes the mischief to be as it were present and in being. But being stationary, notes that 'tis past and over.

第二十五则：看作为征象星的行星是否逆行，或正停留将转逆行；若是，这表示祸害与损失、不和、反对，以及带着损失的倒退。不过留比逆行没有那么坏：因为逆行表示祸害仿佛就在眼前、正在发生；而留则表示祸害已经过去、结束了。

The 26 Consideration is, Whether the Significator be in his second station, that is towards Direction: for that signifies also hinderance and evil, which already hath been and is past; yet some say that this second station is as good as direction: but that is onely a way of speaking, as when one hath been sick and begins to grow well, we say he is recovered and sound, which is not simply true, but somewhat near it: for as the first station is not so bad as Retrogradation, so the second station is not so good as direction.

第二十六则：看征象星是否处于第二次留，也就是将转顺行；因为这同样表示阻碍与不幸，只是已经发生、已成过去。然而有人说第二次留与顺行一样好：但那只是一种说法，就像一个人病了一场、开始好转时，我们说他痊愈了、身体健全，这并不全然属实，只是相去不远。正如第一次留不像逆行那样坏，第二次留也不像顺行那样好。

The 27 Consideration is, Whether the Infortunes are the Significators of any thing; for if they signifie ill, the evil will be much augmented, and if good, it will be much diminished, abated, imperfect, and with difficulty; so that the party will scarce think his business done, unless by chance they be in a very good condition and excellently disposed.

第二十七则：看凶星是否是某事的征象星；因为若它们征象凶事，凶会大大加重；若征象吉事，吉会大大减损、打折、不完满，而且得之艰难，以至当事人几乎不觉得自己的事已经办成——除非它们碰巧状态极好、配置极佳。

The 28 Consideration is, Whether the Significator be slow of Course, for then it delays the effect; and if it be in the beginning of any thing, retards it, so that it will scarce ever be finished: Besides, things proceed slowly, whose Significators are posited in Sagittary, Capricorn, Aquary, or Pisces; or who are the Lords of them, whether they be slow of course; in Aries or Scorpio they are not quite so dilatory. In Leo they hasten business, more in Taurus or Libra, but most of all in Gemini or Virgo.

第二十八则：看征象星是否行速迟缓；若是，它会延迟事情的结果；若在某事的开端，便会拖住它，使它几乎永远办不完。此外，征象星落在射手、摩羯、水瓶或双鱼的，或者征象星正是这几座的主星、无论其行速是否迟缓的，事情进展都慢；在白羊或天蝎，就不那么拖沓。在狮子，它们使事情加快，在金牛或天秤更快，而在双子或处女最快。

The 29 Consideration is, Whether the Moon be joyned to any planet by body or aspect exactly to a minute; for that signifies the present state of the things; and from that minute observe what planet she joyns next, for he shall be Significator of all that shall happen of that thing; as the planet she was last before with, was of what is already past as aforesaid.

第二十九则：看月亮是否与某颗行星以星体或相位精确到分地相会；因为这表示事情眼下的状态；再从那一分起，看她下一个与哪颗行星相会，那颗行星便是此事今后一切发展的征象星；正如前面说过，她上一个相会的行星，征象已经过去的事。

The 30 Consideration is, To observe when a planet that is Significator, or the Moon, shall have past the 29th. degree of the Sign wherein it is, and touches the 30th. and especially if it have past one minute of that degree; for then it shall have no strength in that Sign, but in the next; so that if in the first it signified any evil, it shall hurt the person, or thing threatned, no more than the fall of a house shall one that is just got out of it, or being with one foot upon the threshold, has one behind him that throws him out; and then the building falls.

第三十则：留意作为征象星的行星或月亮，何时走过所在星座的第二十九度、触到第三十度，尤其是已经走进第三十度一分时；因为这时它在这个星座里已无力量，力量在下一个星座。所以，倘若它在前一个星座里征象某种凶事，这凶事对受威胁的人或事的伤害，不会超过一座房子倒塌对一个刚刚走出来的人的伤害——或者那人一只脚还在门槛上，身后有人一把将他推出，随后房子才倒塌。

And if it signified any good, it shall profit no more than he that hath spread a net for birds, and just touches the feathers of their tails, but never catches their bodies; and therefore Zaell says, If a Planet or the Moon be in the 29th. degree of any Sign, its vertue is yet in that Sign wherein he is; because he has not yet wholly past the 29th. degree. &c.

若它征象的是某种好事，所得的好处也不过像一个张网捕鸟的人，网刚刚擦到鸟尾的羽毛，却始终没有捉住鸟身。所以扎埃尔说：倘若行星或月亮在任何星座的第二十九度，它的效力仍在它所在的这个星座，因为它还没有完全走过第二十九度，等等。

The 31 Consideration is, To look when one planet applies to the Conjunction of another, if he be near the end of the same Sign wherein he is himself, or that other to whom he applies; so that he will pass out of that Sign before the Conjunction is perfected: and to see if he be joyned with him in the following Sign to which he is changed, because then the cause is perfected; if that planet confers any thing on him in that Sign wherein he is so joyned to him: that is, if any reception happen, unless the said planet, or he to whom he applies, be first joyned to another; for then the business comes to nothing, and will not be perfected, though he be joyned again to the first after he is separated from him to whom he would have joyned when he changed from the said Sign; since the other interposed before the first Conjunction is accomplisht.

第三十一则：当一颗行星入相趋向与另一颗会合时，要看它是否接近自己所在星座的末尾，或它所趋向的那颗星所在星座的末尾，以致会合完成之前它就要走出这个星座；还要看它在换入的下一个星座里是否与对方会合——因为那样事情就算成了，前提是那颗行星在会合所在的星座里对它有所授予，也就是发生了某种接纳；除非上述那颗行星，或它所趋向的那颗，先与另一颗行星会合了：那样事情就落空，办不成；即便它离开了换座时原想去会合的那颗星之后，又重新与前一颗会合，也无济于事，因为在第一次会合完成之前，已有别的星插了进来。

Nor must it be forgotten that a Corporal Conjunction forbids an Aspect and cuts it off, but an Aspect cannot do so by a Conjunction.

也不可忘记：体合会禁止并截断相位，但相位不能这样以会合截断。

The 32 Consideration is, If an Infortune be the Significator, what his Condition is; for if it be good, there will good come of the thing; if bad rather evil; as Sarviator says in Pentadeca, An ill planet strong in his own House or Exaltation, not joyned with any other Infortune to impede or weaken him, is better than a Fortune Retrograde afflicted.

第三十二则：若凶星是征象星，要看它的状态如何；状态好，此事会生出好结果；状态坏，更多是凶。正如萨尔维亚托在《十五篇》中所说：一颗凶星若在自己的庙或旺中有力，又不与别的凶星会合而受阻碍或削弱，胜过一颗逆行受克的吉星。

The 33 Consideration is, To see whether either of the Infortunes be the Significator of any thing, and be joyned to another Infortune impeding him, or has joyned to him the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon, by a Square or Opposition; for then this Infortune will perfect the business: but the business will not be good, or rather it will be destroyed after it seems perfected. But if the Infortune that impedes be the lighter of the two, so that he apply to a Conjunction with the Significator, it will hinder less than if the Significator apply to the other.

第三十三则：看两颗凶星中是否有一颗是某事的征象星，并与另一颗凶星会合而受其阻碍，或者有上升主星或月亮以四分或对冲与它相连；若是，这颗凶星会让事情办成，但事情不会好，甚至在看似办成之后又毁掉。但若施加阻碍的那颗凶星是两者中较轻的，由它入相去与征象星会合，阻碍便比征象星去趋近它时要小。

The 34 Consideration is, To mind in Questions or Nativities, whether the Significator of the business be an Infortune and Lord of the Ascendant, and the Ascendant direct not vitiated, and in a good condition; for then he will both effect the same and bring it to a good conclusion; nay, although he be not Significator nor Lord of the Ascendant, but onely be in the Ascendant, and that the same be his Exaltation; he lays aside all his malice, and is restrained from mischief: but if he be weak and afflicted, his malice and contrariety is increased, so as to destroy the business wholly.

第三十四则：在卜卦或本命中要留意，此事的征象星是否是一颗凶星，同时又是上升主星，而上升端正、未受损坏、状态良好；若是，它既会让事情办成，也会让事情有好结局。不仅如此，即使它既非征象星也非上升主星，只是在上升宫里，而那里又是它的旺，它也会放下一切恶意，被约束住不去作恶；但若它衰弱受克，它的恶意与乖逆就会增长，以至把事情彻底毁掉。

The 35 Consideration is, To look whether an Infortune be in Signs like him, or of his own nature, for that abates his ill effects: like a cross fellow when he is pleased and has what he will, as Saturn in Capricorn, Aquary, or Libra, or in a cold Sign, especially if he have any Dignities there: And so Mars in Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn, or a hot Sign, &c. But if Saturn be in a hot Sign, or Mars in a cold Sign, out of their Dignities, it will be bad, and the business be no more compleated, than Oyle will mix with water; but if strong and well disposed, they will mix in good, like Water with Wine, or Milk with Honey.

第三十五则：看凶星是否在与它相像、合乎其本性的星座里，因为那会减轻它的恶果：就像一个脾气乖戾的人，顺了心、得了想要的东西时那样。例如土星在摩羯、水瓶或天秤，或在寒冷的星座，尤其它在那里有某种尊贵时；火星在白羊、天蝎、摩羯或炎热的星座，等等。但若土星在炎热的星座，或火星在寒冷的星座，又不在自己的尊贵之中，那就不好，事情之难成，就像油不肯与水相混；但若它们有力而配置良好，就会和好相融，如水和酒、奶和蜜。

The 36 Consideration is, To observe when the Infortunes are the Obstructers of a business, whether the Fortunes behold them with a trine or sextill Aspect; for then their ill nature will be allayed and mitigated: but much more if these receive them.

第三十六则：当凶星是事情的阻碍者时，要看吉星是否以三分或六分照它；若是，它的凶性就会缓和减轻；若吉星还接纳它，就更是如此。

The 37 Consideration is, To look if the Fortunes are the Significators? whether the Infortunes behold them with an opposition or square? for that will much lessen their kind effects, and diminish the good they otherwise promised.

第三十七则：若吉星是征象星，要看凶星是否以对冲或四分照它；因为那会大大削减它的善意，减少它原本应许的好处。

The 38 Consideration is, To consider if the Fortunes are Significators, whether they are cadent from Angles or from the Ascendant, so as not to behold the same, and be retrograde: for under these Impediments they will be almost as bad as the Infortunes themselves, unless they be in reception.

第三十八则：若吉星是征象星，要考虑它是否从四角或从上升落下，以致照不到上升，并且逆行；因为在这些阻碍之下，它几乎与凶星本身一样坏，除非它处于接纳之中。
