卷二·第九十四章　是否中了巫术（实例）

If Bewitched.

是否中了巫术。

WEE must first consider if ♂ Lord of the twelft afflict ☿ Lord of the ascendant, or if ♂ afflict the ☽; or whether ☿ be Lord of the ascendant and twelft, or if ♄ Lord of the eighth doe mischieve the ascendant; for without the Lord of the ascendant or ascendant it selfe, or the ☽ be afflicted by the Lord of the twelft, there's no strong Witch-craft:

我们必须先考虑第十二宫主星火星是否伤害上升主星水星，或火星是否伤害月亮；或者水星是否兼为上升与第十二宫之主，或第八宫主星土星是否危害上升；因为若不是上升主星、上升本身或月亮受第十二宫主星所害，就没有厉害的巫术：

Here finding the ☽ going to ☍ of ♄, both Planets in the sixt and twelft houses, it gave suspition of Witchcraft, and there seemed to those that asked for the Querent some reason for it, in regard the Physitians had prescribed much Physick, and it wrought no effect, but the Patient was worse and worse:

这里发现月亮正去对冲土星，两颗行星分在第六宫和第十二宫，就引起了巫术的怀疑，在那些替问卜者来问的人看来也有些道理，因为医生开了许多药，都不见效，病人却越来越糟：

I positively affirmed he was not bewitched, because ☿ was in a △ to ♃ and ♂, and ♀ in the twelft, and ♄ much elongated from the cusp of the house, the ☽ applying, after her ☍ of ♄, unto ☿ Lord of the ascendant, he above the earth, ascending towards the Meridian.

我肯定地说他没有中巫术，因为水星与木星、火星成三分，金星在第十二宫，土星离那一宫的宫头很远，月亮在对冲土星之后入相上升主星水星，而水星在地平之上，正往子午线升去。

I directed them againe to advise with the Doctors, and civilly to acquaint them, that the Disease peccant was occult, and lay in the Reines and Secrets, and occasioned by too much Venerian sports, &c. That it was so, ♎ is on the cusp of the sixt; ♀ Lady of the Signe in the twelft; ergo, an occult secret Disease, and Venerian.

我再指点他们去请教医生，并客气地告诉医生，作祟的病是隐疾，在腰肾和私处，是因过度的房事等等引起的。事实如此：天秤在第六宫宫头；这个星座之主金星在第十二宫；所以是一种隐秘的病，与房事有关。

☽ in ♏ in the sixt, in ☍ to ♄ in the twelft; this argues a Female Disease, closely obtained; for as it was a deed of darknesse, so doe neither ♄ or ☽ behold the ascendant: I judged he was itchy, because ☿ was in ♓, a moyst Signe, and because ♎ the Signe of the sixt, and ♊ are ayery Signes, the Disease was all over his Bones, and in his joynts, and in his Blood, that being corrupted: I did not say it was a perfect Lue sVeneria, but I gave caution to prevent it? This advice was followed, the course of Physick altered, and the afflicted party in or about three weeks perfectly recovered.

月亮在天蝎、在第六宫，对冲在第十二宫的土星；这表示是由女人得来的病，偷偷染上的；因为那是黑暗中的勾当，所以土星和月亮都不照看上升：我断他身上发痒，因为水星在双鱼，是湿的星座，又因为第六宫的星座天秤与双子都是风象星座，这病遍及他的骨头、关节与血液，血已经败坏了：我没有说那是十足的花柳病，但我提醒要防止它。这个建议被采纳了，换了用药，病人在大约三个星期内完全康复。
