博纳提·第六十三至七十五则　第七宫、朔望之主与月亮受克

The 63th is to consider, Whether the Moon be far from the Conjunction of the Infortunes, so as not to cast her beams on theirs, for then the event will be good, but rather if she touch with her beams those of the Fortunes. And yet better, if besides this the Lord of the Ascendant, or of the business, be in a good condition; for if they be not well disposed, it may impair the good promised, but not wholly prevent it.

第六十三则：要考虑月亮是否远离凶星的会合，以致她的光线不与它们的光线相接；因为那样结果会好；若她的光线还触到吉星的光线，就更好。若除此之外，上升主星或此事之主状态良好，就更好了；因为它们若配置不佳，或许会损及所应许的好处，但不会完全阻止。

The 64th is to consider, Whether the Moon be in Cancer, Taurus, Sagittarius, or Pisces; for it signifies good in the business, although she be joyned to the Infortunes, and not to the Fortunes; nor does she, being void of course, prejudice so much in those places as elsewhere. provided she be not combust, for then they will advantage her little or nothing.

第六十四则：要考虑月亮是否在巨蟹、金牛、射手或双鱼；因为这表示此事有好处，即便她与凶星相会、不与吉星相会；她在这几处空亡，也不像在别处那样有害。只要她不焦伤，因为焦伤时这几处对她就几乎毫无助益。

The 65th is to consider, Whether the Lord of the seventh is afflicted or not? for that will be an impediment to the business, And you ought to defer judgment, if you can, and warily search always whence such impediment shall arise, as well by the conjunction of the Lord of the seventh with the Planets, as by their separation; and also of the Moon: so mayst thou find whence it will proceed, and afterwards give judgment with more safety.

第六十五则：要考虑第七宫主是否受克？因为那会成为此事的阻碍。你应该尽可能推迟判断，并始终谨慎地查明这阻碍从何而来，既要看第七宫主与诸星的会合，也要看它与诸星的离相；月亮也同样看：如此你就能找到它出自何处，然后更稳妥地下判断。

The 66th is to consider, When the Infortunes threaten mischief, whether the place on which their threats fall, be the dignity of any of the Fortunes? and whether such fortune behold the same place by Trine or Sextile? for then it will take away the mischief, and annul it wholly. If by a Square, it will only lessen it; if by an Opposition, take away some part of it;

第六十六则：当凶星以祸害相威胁时，要考虑它们的威胁所落之处，是否是某颗吉星的尊贵所在？以及那颗吉星是否以三分或六分照那个位置？因为那样它会除去祸害，使之完全作废。若以四分照，只会减轻；若以对冲照，会除去一部分；

But if it cast no Aspect at all, the mischief will happen; but it will proceed from honest just persons, and it may be the Querent suffers rightfully, being cast in a just cause before a Judge, or the like. But if the aforesaid place be the Dignity of an Infortune, the prejudice will come from unjust men, false witnesses, a corrupt Judge, or some sentence unjustly given through a mistake, &c.

但若它根本不投出任何相位，祸害就会发生；不过它会出自正直公正的人，或许问卜者是罪有应得，在法官面前因正当的理由被判了，诸如此类。但若上述之处是某颗凶星的尊贵所在，损害就会来自不义之人、假证人、腐败的法官，或因错误而不公正地下了某个判决，等等。

The 67th is to consider, Whether there be any Eclipse near, which is less than 12 degrees from the Significator? for the same will bring damage and mischief to the Querent or business, unless there be there a Fortune which hath Dignities in the same place, for then the same is abated: but if there be no such, thou oughtest to look what Planet beholds the said place of the Eclipse, and how. For if the Fortunes behold it, they do but augment the evil; and if they are Infortunes, they lessen and abate it: which seems a kind of riddle or wonder in Art.

第六十七则：要考虑附近是否有交食，与征象星相距不到十二度？因为它会给问卜者或此事带来损害与祸害，除非那里有一颗在该处有尊贵的吉星，那样就会减轻；但若没有，你就该看哪颗行星照那交食之处，以及怎样照。因为若吉星照它，只会加重凶；若是凶星照它，反而会减轻：这在本术里似乎是一个谜、一桩奇事。

The 68th Is to consider, in questions relating to sick people, or decumbitures, Whether the Lord of the seventh, and seventh house it self, be free from impediments? for if it be, the sick may safely trust himself to the care of the Physicians, for Medicines will do very well. But if the seventh house and his Lord shall be afflicted, Ptolomy saith, The Physician must be changed, for neither his Physick nor care will do any good; for the seventh signifies the Medicine, as Zaell saith; or at least the Disease grows chronical and lasting. The like is to be expected if the same positions happen at the beginning of any cure.

第六十八则：在关于病人的问题或卧病盘中，要考虑第七宫主和第七宫本身是否没有阻碍？因为若没有，病人可以放心把自己交给医生照料，药物会很见效。但若第七宫及其主星受克，托勒密说，必须更换医生，因为他的医药和照料都不会有任何好处；因为如扎埃尔所说，第七宫征象医药；或者至少疾病会转为慢性、迁延不愈。若在任何治疗开始时出现同样的位置，也可作同样的预期。

The 69th is to consider, Whether the Significators of the Ascendent, and of the house signifying the thing enquired, be of equal strength and debility? for then thou canst not safely give judgment; but in such case thou must mind the Lord of the Conjunction or Prevention (as the thing is either conjunctional or preventional) which was last before, and by that judge. But if the Lord of the Conjunction or Prevention, and of the thing, be still equal, thou must then turn to the Moon, and see to whom she first applies, and thence deduce judgment. If she joyn not to any in or from the sign in which she is, take that with whom she joyns first in the next sign, and this is very considerably useful.

第六十九则：要考虑上升的征象星，与征象所问之事那一宫的征象星，是否强弱相等？因为那样你就无法稳妥地下判断；这时你必须留意此前最近一次的朔或望之主（视此事属朔还是属望而定），并据此判断。但若朔或望之主与此事之主仍然相等，你就必须转向月亮，看她最先入相于谁，由此推出判断。若她在所在星座之内或由此星座出发都不与任何星相会，就取她在下一个星座里最先相会的那颗，这是非常值得重视、很有用的。

The 70th consideration is, To mind another secret not well searched into by Astrologers, but often times doing them much prejudice; that is, See in all questions, &c. whether the Lord of the New or Full Moon, preventional last before, be in any of the Angles of the thing enquired after; if it be, it denotes that the business will be accomplished, unless it be the Querents own fault, (or that God over-rule against it) though perhaps by other significations it seemed not likely.

第七十则：要留意另一个秘诀，它未被星占家好好探究，却常常给他们带来很大的妨害；那就是：在一切问题等中，看此前最近一次的新月或满月之主，是否在所问之事的某个角上；若是，表示事情会办成，除非是问卜者自己的过失（或上帝另有安排），即便从别的征象看似乎不太可能。

But if it shall not happen so, but only the same is in the Ascendant, and the other Significators, that is, the Lord of the Ascendant of the thing enquired of, and the Moon, or any of them assist, the thing will be done with ease. If it be in cadent houses it will scarce ever be, though other Significators seem never so favourable; and if two at least of them be not so, take it for certain it will never be done.

但若并非如此，只是它在上升中，而其他征象星，也就是所问之事的上升主星与月亮，或其中任何一个相助，事情会轻易办成。若它在果宫，事情几乎永远不会成，无论其他征象星看来多么有利；若其中至少两个不是这样，就可以断定事情永远办不成。

The 71th Is to consider, Whether the Significator falls between the Ascendant and the twelfth, for that signifies continuance or length of time, when a thing will be done; or if done already, how long it will continue in days or hours. If between the twelfth and the tenth, it notes half weeks; between the tenth and seventh, months or weeks; between the seventh and fourth, years; and between the fourth and the Ascendant, half years.

第七十一则：要考虑征象星是否落在上升与第十二宫之间，因为那表示事情办成所需的时间，或若已经办成，它会持续多久，以日或时辰计。若在第十二宫与第十宫之间，表示半周；在第十宫与第七宫之间，表示月或周；在第七宫与第四宫之间，表示年；在第四宫与上升之间，表示半年。

The 72th is to observe, That if the Questions be of a journey, and the Moon afflicted, it is not safe to undertake it; but if it cannot be put off, make the Planet that afflicts her Lord of the Ascendant at the time of the Querents setting forth.

第七十二则：要注意，若问题是关于出行，而月亮受克，出发便不安全；但若无法推迟，就在问卜者动身之时，使那颗克月亮的行星成为上升主星。

The 73th is to mind, Whether the Question signifie good or evil? If good, Whether the Fortunes behold the Significator of the Question, or the Moon? for then the good thereof will be increased; but if the infortunes cast in their beams, as much or more diminished. But if it originally signifie evil, and the Infortunes behold the Significator or Moon, as aforesaid, the evil threatned will be increased, and become much worse.

第七十三则：要留意问题所征象的是吉是凶？若是吉，看吉星是否照问题的征象星或月亮；因为那样它的好处会增加；但若凶星投来光线，好处就会同样多地、甚至更多地减少。但若问题本来征象凶，而凶星如前所说照征象星或月亮，所威胁的凶就会增加，变得更坏。

The 74th is to consider, Whether the Significator be in his first station, going to be retrograde? for that signifies crosness and inobedience, and that the matter, though never so probable, will not be accomplished. If any work or building be then begun, it will not be finished. And if such Significator, so asserted, be then under the earth, such building shall not be raised to any purpose in thirty years, and then not finish'd; and if it be raised a little then, it will be a raising thirty years more.

第七十四则：要考虑征象星是否在第一次留，将要逆行？因为那表示乖违与不顺从，事情无论看来多么有望，都办不成。若此时开始某项工程或建筑，它将无法完工。若这样配置的征象星此时还在地平之下，这建筑三十年内都起不来，到时也完不了工；若到时起了一点，还要再起三十年。

And if not then compleated, it will not be compleated till ninety years after its first; and if not then, it will never be finished, unless the property be altered, and come into the possession of strangers from its former owners. But if the Significator be in his second station, going to be direct, it notes, that the affair will be done, but slowly, intricately, and with pains and trouble.

若到那时仍未完工，就要等到初建起九十年后才能完工；若那时还不成，就永远完不了工，除非产业易主，从原主人手中转到外人手里。但若征象星在第二次留，将转顺行，表示事情会办成，只是缓慢、曲折，费力又烦扰。

And if any Edifice be then begun, it will be finish'd, but not so soon as was at first believed, provided the Significator be not under the earth; for then he that begins it shall never make an end of it, nor raise it very high above the earth.

若此时开始兴建某座建筑，它会完工，只是没有起初以为的那么快，前提是征象星不在地平之下；因为若在地平之下，动工的人就永远完不了工，也不能把它建得高出地面多少。

And note, A Planet in this second station signifies an aptness, and the renewing and strength of every thing; but in his first station, dissolution and destruction. Remember and understand those things well, for they will often come in practice.

还要注意，在第二次留的行星，表示合宜、一切事物的更新与力量；而在第一次留，表示瓦解与毁坏。要牢记并理解这些，因为它们在实践中会常常用到。

The 75th is to consider, Whether the Moon be afflicted by any Planet? for then whatever the question be, the same will suffer impediment. But if the Moon be in a good place from the Ascendant, so as to behold it with a Trine or Sextile, or if the Planet that afflicts her do behold the same, either of those Aspects will mitigate the mischief intended, and it may be wholly take it away, as the said afflicting Planet is disposed; so that he be not cadent from Angles, nor from the Ascendant, nor in his fall, that is with the seventh from his own house.

第七十五则：要考虑月亮是否受某颗行星侵害？因为那样无论问的是什么，都会受阻。但若月亮在距上升良好的位置，能以三分或六分照上升；或者侵害她的那颗行星照上升，这两种相位都会减轻所图谋的祸害，视那颗施害之星的配置，或许能完全消除；只要它不从角宫或上升落下，也不在它的落，也就是不在自己庙的第七宫。

Zael seems to say, That if an Infortune afflicting be cadent from the Ascendant, or retrograde, it causeth fear in the Querent; but I alwaies fear the affliction of the Moon above all other impediments, and scarce remember that I ever saw a good end of any thing where she was afflicted: And in journeys, if to war, was apprehensive of the Querents case and person; if for trafick, of straits, quarrels, sadness in his travels, and loss of money, &c.

扎埃尔似乎说，施害的凶星若从上升落下或逆行，会使问卜者心生恐惧；但我始终最怕月亮受克，胜过其他一切阻碍，记得几乎从未见过月亮受克而事情有好结局的：在出行上，若是去打仗，我担心问卜者的处境与人身；若是去经商，担心他旅途中的困窘、争执、愁苦与钱财损失，等等。
