卷二·第九十三章　亨利附近失马能否寻回

A Horse lost or stolen neer Henley, if recoverable or not?

亨利附近丢失或被盗的一匹马，能否寻回？

☿ Here Lord of the twelft signifieth the Horse, whom you see Retrograde, & hastening to a ☌ of the ☉ Lord of the Querent's House of Substance; forasmuch as ☿ did by his Retrograde motion apply to the Lord of the querent's house of Substance, and that the ☽ was locally in the second and both ♃ and ♂ Retrograde, neer the cusp of the second, I judged the Querent should have his Goods or Horse quickly and unexpectedly, within a day or two from the time of the Question asked; and because the seventh house was afflicted by ☋, I judged the Thief could not keep him.

这里第十二宫主星水星代表马，你看他逆行，正急急去会合太阳，太阳是问卜者财产之宫的主星；由于水星以逆行入相问卜者财产之宫的主星，月亮就位置而言在第二宫，木星与火星都逆行，靠近第二宫宫头，我断问卜者会很快、出乎意料地找回他的财物即那匹马，就在问事之后一两天之内；又因为第七宫受龙尾所害，我断那贼留不住它。

I was asked, Which way he went? I considered the Signe of the twelft was ♊, viz. West; the Signe wherein ☿ Lord of the twelft was in, was ♒, viz. West; though the quarter of Heaven was South, but much inclining to the West; the ☽ was in ♌, a North-east Sign: Besides, ☿ as he was Lord of the fourth, was in a West Signe. From whence I concluded, the Horse was gone Westward; but because ☿ was Retrograde, I judged the Horse would not proceed farre, but return againe to his proper owner;

有人问我：马往哪个方向去了？我考虑到第十二宫的星座是双子，即西方；第十二宫主星水星所在的星座是水瓶，即西方；虽然天空的象限是南方，却很偏向西方；月亮在狮子，是东北的星座：此外，水星作为第四宫之主，在西方的星座。由此我断定马往西去了；但因为水星逆行，我断马不会走远，而会回到它的原主那里；

[and indeed the Horse did come home three dayes after, and had been full West.] However, I judged the Horse would have been at home a day sooner; but who shall more exactly consider of the Scheam, shall find, that ☿ Significator of the Horse, although he came to the body of ☉ Lord of the Querent's house of Substance, the same night the Question was asked, yet because the ☉ had no Dignities where he was, the Horse came not home untill Wednesday or Thursday the 13th or 14th of January, at what time ☿ and ♀ came to a partill ☌.

［马的确在三天后回了家，而且一直在正西方。］不过，我原断马会早一天到家；但谁更精确地考察这张盘，就会发现，马的征象星水星虽然在问事当晚就到了问卜者财产之宫主太阳的星体，可是因为太阳在所在之处没有尊贵，马直到一月十三或十四日、星期三或星期四才到家，那时水星与金星成了精确的会合。

I must confesse, here were many good significations that the querent should recover his lost Horse: first, ☊ in the ascendant: next, ☽ in the second, arguing he should be discovered: thirdly, ☿ Lord of the thing lost Retrograde, importing a returning of the thing againe casually: fourthly, two Retrograde Planets upon the cusp of the second, which usually shews quick and unexpected recovery; ♃ and ♂ peregrine, I took them for those that rode away the Horse, ♃ especially; [and it was very true.]

我必须承认，这里有许多好的征象，表示问卜者会找回失马：第一，龙头在上升；其次，月亮在第二宫，表示马会被发现；第三，失物之主水星逆行，表示东西会意外地回来：第四，两颗逆行行星在第二宫宫头上，这通常主快速而意外地寻回；木星与火星游离，我把它们当作骑走那匹马的人，尤其是木星；［而这完全属实。］
