卷二·第九十七章　行星时的求法；附卷三扉页与时刻化赤道度

To find out what Planet ruleth every hour of the Day or Night by the preceding Table.

怎样用前面的表查出昼夜每一个时辰由哪颗行星主管。

YOU must understand that as there are seven dayes of the Week, viz. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday; so there are seven Planets, viz. Saturne, Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Venus, Mercury, Luna: We appropriate to each day of the Week a severall Planet; as to Sunday, ☉; to Monday, ☽; to Tuesday, ♂; to Wednesday, ☿; to Thursday, ♃; to Friday, ♀; to Saturday, ♄: and the first hour of every day we assigne to that Planet assigned for the day, beginning at Sun-rise ever, the second houre we give to the next Planet, the third hour to the third Planet from him; as if upon any Sunday I would know what Planet governeth the first, second, third, fourth, fift, sixt hour of that day, I say ☉ governeth the first, ♀ the second, ☿ the third, ☽ the fourth, ♄ the fift, ♃ the sixt, &c. and so in order successively during that day and night subsequent: and if you account in order, you shall find by this continuall account, that ☽ fals to rule the first hour upon Monday, ♄ the second, ♃ the third, ♂ the fourth, &c.

你要明白，一星期有七天，即星期日、星期一、星期二、星期三、星期四、星期五、星期六；同样有七颗行星，即土星、木星、火星、太阳、金星、水星、月亮：我们给一星期的每一天各配一颗行星，星期日配太阳，星期一配月亮，星期二配火星，星期三配水星，星期四配木星，星期五配金星，星期六配土星；每天的第一个时辰归给配这一天的行星，总是从日出起算，第二个时辰给下一颗行星，第三个时辰给从他数起的第三颗行星；比如任何一个星期日，我想知道这一天第一、第二、第三、第四、第五、第六个时辰由哪颗行星主管，我就说太阳主第一个，金星主第二个，水星主第三个，月亮主第四个，土星主第五个，木星主第六个，等等，这一天以及随后的一夜都这样依次轮下去：你若照这样连续按次序数下去，就会发现星期一的第一个时辰正好落到月亮主管，第二个是土星，第三个是木星，第四个是火星，等等。

It is very true, some of the Ancients have Winter and Summer, made the day and night to consist of equall hours, I mean every hour to consist of sixty minutes equally; but Astrologians doe not so, but follow this method, viz. according to the motion of the ☉ both Summer and Winter, so doe they vary their hours in length or shortnesse; for all that space of time which is contained from Sun rise to Sun-set, they divide into twelve equall pars, whereof the one halfe containes the hours before Noon, the rest the hours after Noon; so also, what space of time is from Sun-set untill Sun-rise againe the next day after, is equally divided into twelve parts; whereof every twelft part containes the space or time of one hour Astrologicall ; and we doe ever begin to number from Sun rise, and continue untill the next Sun-rise, accounting 24. hours, beginning evermore at Sun-rise, with that Planet who is assigned to the day, and so numbring successively in order untill the next day; so that your Astrologicall hours are called unequall hours, as all the yeer long consisting of more or lesse then sixty minutes for the space of one hour, unlesse it be the day of the ☉ his entrance into ♈ or ♎, at what time an Astrologicall hour is just sixty minutes and no more.

确实，有些古人不论冬夏，都把昼夜分成相等的时辰，我是说每个时辰一律是六十分钟；但占星家不这样做，而是遵循这个方法：随着太阳的运行，不论夏冬，把时辰的长短加以变化；因为他们把从日出到日落的整段时间分成十二等份，一半是正午以前的时辰，其余是正午以后的时辰；同样，从日落到次日再日出的这段时间，也等分成十二份；每一份就是一个占星时辰的时长；我们总是从日出开始数，一直数到下一次日出，共计二十四个时辰，总是从日出、从配这一天的行星开始，依次数到第二天；所以占星时辰称为不等时，因为一年到头，一个时辰都多于或少于六十分钟，只有太阳进入白羊或天秤的那一天例外，那时一个占星时辰正好六十分钟，不多不少。

Use of the Table.

表的用法。

Be the ☉ in ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍, and you would know the Planetary hour of the day, the first and second Pages serve your turne.

太阳在白羊、金牛、双子、巨蟹、狮子、处女，你想知道白天的行星时，就用第一、第二页。

If you would know the Planetary hour of any day, the ☉ being in ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓, the third and fourth Pages will serve you.

若太阳在天秤、天蝎、射手、摩羯、水瓶、双鱼，你想知道某一天白天的行星时，第三、第四页就合用。

If you would know the Planetary hour of the night or after Sun-set, whilest the ☉ is in ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍, then you must be directed by the fift and sixt Pages of this Table.

若你想知道夜间即日落以后的行星时，而太阳在白羊、金牛、双子、巨蟹、狮子、处女，那就要照这张表的第五、第六页去查。

If you would know the Planetary hour of the night, the ☉ being in ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓, the seventh and eight Pages will satisfie you.

若你想知道夜间的行星时，太阳在天秤、天蝎、射手、摩羯、水瓶、双鱼，第七、第八页就能满足你。

An Example.

一个例子。

If you would know when the ☉ riseth, being in the third, fourth or fift of ♈, see to the first Column of the first Page, and there you find, Place of the ☉, under it, S. D. viz. Signes, Degrees, under these two letters, ♈ 0, then under, 0 3. on the right hand, 5 54. over it H. M. viz.

若你想知道太阳在白羊三度、四度或五度时几时升起，就看第一页的第一栏，你在那里看到「太阳所在」，下面是两个缩写字母，即「星座、度数」，这两个字母下面是白羊零，再下面是零、三；右手边是五、五十四，上面是两个缩写字母，即

Houres and Minutes; so that it tels you, the ☉, being in three deg. of ♈, riseth at 54 minutes after 5. proceed in the same line, and you see the Planetary houre; as, admit I would know at halfe an houre after nine in the morning, upon Monday the 15. of March 1646/7. the ☉ at noon that day being in 4. degr. 47. min. of ♈, which wanting so few min. of 5. degr.

时与分；这就告诉你，太阳在白羊三度时，五时五十四分升起。沿同一行看过去，你就看到行星时；比如，我想知道一六四六／七年三月十五日星期一上午九时半是什么行星时，那天正午太阳在白羊四度四十七分，离五度差不了几分，

I enter with five whole degr. under the Signe ♈, and in the fourth line of the first Column I find 6. for the whole Table in Signes goes by a continuall addition of three, and if I had entred with four or five degrees of ☉ in ♈, I might have taken either three or six, and it had bred little difference.

我就用整五度到白羊之下去查，在第一栏的第四行我看到六，因为整张表的星座度数是逐次加三排下去的；如果我用太阳在白羊四度或五度去查，取三或取六都可以，差别不大。

But to the purpose, over against 6. on the right hand, I find, as aforesaid, 5 47. for the time of Sun-rising, then 6 47. then in order 7 5. then 8 54. then 9 56. my hour was 9 30. so then I begin and say, the ☽ being the Planet of the day, beginneth to rule at 47. min. after 5. and governeth until 47. min. after 6. then ♄ he ruleth the 2d hour of the day, untill 51. min. after 7. then ♃ ruleth the 3d hour, viz. till 54. min. after 8. then ♂ the fourth hour, untill 56. min. after 9. which is the hour sought for, I say ♂ ruleth at that hour; and so you must doe either day or night:

言归正传，在六的右手边，如前所说，我看到五、四十七，是日出的时刻，然后是六、四十七，再依次是七、五，然后是八、五十四，然后是九、五十六。我要问的时刻是九时三十分，于是我开始数：月亮是当天的行星，从五时四十七分开始主管，一直管到六时四十七分；然后土星主管当天第二个时辰，直到七时五十一分；然后木星主管第三个时辰，即到八时五十四分；然后火星主管第四个时辰，到九时五十六分，这正是所求的时辰，我就说那个时刻由火星主管；不论白天黑夜，都要这样做：

And you must remember, that as you see onely in the first Column ♈ ♉ ♊, and in the ninth Column, of the said first page, ♍ ♌ and ♋,

你还要记住，正如你在同一页的第一栏只看到白羊、金牛、双子，在该页的第九栏看到处女、狮子和巨蟹，

So when you enter with the place of the ☉ in ♍ ♌ or ♋, you must enter upward contrary to the former side; for the ☉ being in 15. of ♉, riseth at the same moment of time as he doth being in the 15. of ♌: or when in the 15. of ♍, as when in the 15. of ♈. The length of the Planetary hour is thus known, let the ☉ be in the sixt degr. of ♈, he riseth then, as you may see, at 47. min. after 5.

所以当你用太阳在处女、狮子或巨蟹的位置入表时，就要与前面相反、由下往上查；因为太阳在金牛十五度时升起的时刻，与他在狮子十五度时完全相同；在处女十五度时，也与在白羊十五度时相同。行星时的长度这样求：设太阳在白羊第六度，如你所见，他在五时四十七分升起。

In the third Column you find 6 47. which if you substract from the next number on the right hand in the same line, viz. 7 51. (7 51 / 6 47) rests one hour and four minutes for the length of the houre that day, and so as your day-hour is more then sixty minutes, so much the nocturnall hour must want of sixty min. and this is a generall rule.

在第三栏你看到六、四十七，把它从同一行右手边的下一个数，即七、五十一，减去（七时五十一分减六时四十七分），余一小时四分，就是那天一个时辰的长度；白天的时辰比六十分钟多多少，夜间的时辰就比六十分钟少多少，这是通则。

The above named 15. of March 1646/7. the ☉ being in 4 47. of ♈, I would know what Planet reignes at 20. min. past 5. in the afternoon; I enter the first Column of the second Page, under the title of the ☉, in the fourth line under ♈ I find 6. and accept of that without errour, because the place of the ☉ is 4 47. of ♈, and so is neerer 6. then 4. over against 6. on the right hand, I find 1 2. then 2 4. then 3 6. then 4 9. then 5 11. then 6 13. these tels me, the first Planetary hour after noon ends at 1 2. that is, two min. after one, the second at two min. after two, the third at six min. after three, the fourth at nine min. after four, the fift at eleven min. after five, the sixt at thirteen min. after 6. now my hour enquired after was 20. min. past 5. which fals to be the last hour of the day; and if you look over the head of 6 13. you may see the number 12. viz. it's the twelft hour of the day; now if you begin in the morning at Sun-rise, accounting ☽ the first, and so proceed,

还是上面说的一六四六／七年三月十五日，太阳在白羊四度四十七分，我想知道下午五时二十分是哪颗行星当值；我查第二页的第一栏，在「太阳所在」这个标题下，白羊之下的第四行，我看到六，取用它不会有错，因为太阳在白羊四度四十七分，离六比离四近；在六的右手边，我看到一、二，然后二、四，然后三、六，然后四、九，然后五、十一，然后六、十三；这告诉我，正午以后第一个行星时止于一、二，就是一时过二分，第二个止于二时过二分，第三个止于三时过六分，第四个止于四时过九分，第五个止于五时过十一分，第六个止于六时过十三分；我要问的时刻是五时过二十分，正落在白天的最后一个时辰；你看六、十三的上方，会看到数字十二，就是说，这是白天的第十二个时辰；你若从早晨日出开始，把月亮算作第一个，依次数下去，

☽ ♄ ♃ ♂ ☉ ♀ ☿ ☽ ♄ ♃ ♂ ☉

月　土　木　火　日　金　水　月　土　木　火　日

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

一　二　三　四　五　六　七　八　九　十　十一　十二

You shall find, that ☉ begins his rule at eleven min. past five, and ends at thirteen min. past six. I need not be more copious in a thing so plaine and obvious to the eye; I shall onely propound one example more, viz. the said 15. of March 11. ho. 10. m. after noon, I would know what Planet rules; the ☉ being in 4 47 of ♈, I now enter the fift Page of the Table, I look to the 6. of ♈, against it on the right hand I find 6 13. then 7 11. then 8 9. then 9 7. then 10 4. then 11 2. then 12. 0.

你就会发现，太阳从五时过十一分开始主管，到六时过十三分为止。这件事这么简单，一看便知，我不必多费笔墨；只再举一个例子，即同一个三月十五日，午后十一时十分，我想知道是哪颗行星主管；太阳在白羊四度四十七分，我这次查表的第五页，看白羊六度，右手边我看到六、十三，然后七、十一，然后八、九，然后九、七，然后十、四，然后十一、二，然后十二、零。

My hour is ten min. after eleven, in the seventh column you have 11 2, my hour is included in the next; so then I conclude my hour is the last hour before mid-night, and consequently the sixt hour after Sun-set, but the eighteenth hour of the day, and being accounted as we formerly instructed, you shall find it the hour of ♂.

我的时刻是十一时过十分，第七栏里是十一、二，我的时刻包含在下一个里面；于是我断定，这是午夜前的最后一个时辰，因而是日落后的第六个时辰，却是全天的第十八个时辰；照我们前面教的方法数，你会发现那是火星的时辰。

Either in giving Physick, or performing many naturall conclusions, without exact knowledge of the Astrologicall planetary hour, no worthy work can be done, with it wonders, either in collecting Hearbs, framing Sigils, Images, Lamens, &c.

无论是给药，还是做许多自然的实验，若不确知占星的行星时，就做不成什么像样的事；有了它，就能成就奇事，无论是采集草药，还是制作印符、像、护身牌等等。

So now by the blessing of Almighty God, without whose providence we can performe no worthy act, I have produced to an end the second part of my intended Work, and could have willingly acquiesced untill a further opportunity had been offered: but such is the desire and importunity of severall wel-affected to this study, that beyond my first intentions I againe adventure upon the succeding Tractate of Nativities, wherein the pittifull and mercifull God of all the faithfull, whose brightnesse shines in our fraile understandings, assist me, that I may performe this Work with judgment and understanding, for the good of all honest-hearted English, my most beloved Country-men.

如今，承全能上帝的赐福——没有他的眷顾，我们什么像样的事也做不成——我已把我预定著作的第二部分完成了，本可以安心停笔，等待日后另有机会；然而有好几位爱好这门学问的人殷切恳求，我便超出原先的打算，再次冒险着手接下来的本命论；愿一切信者的那位慈悲怜悯的上帝，他的光辉照在我们脆弱的心智中，助我以判断与悟性完成这部著作，为一切心地诚实的英国人、我最亲爱的同胞谋益。

Assist me O glorious God, for my Task is difficult, and thy servant is of little understanding! few, nay none at all are the helps I expect from any man living (having hitherto had no assistance) but what thy pleasure is, by the universall Anima Mundi, to infuse into my obtuse intellective part, that will I candidly deliver without deceit or fraud; and as my former two Parts have had neither the Head, Hand, Heart or assistance of any man, so neither now will I beg or begin to distrust that Providence, whereby I have waded through the former Treatises, but will like a valiant Champion enter the fields of Defiance, against all the world of Detractors, and performe what my present weaknesse is able, &c. not doubting but there wil some arise in all Ages, who will either amend my failings, or defend my sayings so farre as they may with modesty.

助我，荣耀的上帝啊，因为我的任务艰难，而你的仆人悟性浅薄！我不指望任何在世之人给我帮助，帮的人很少，不，根本没有（至今我未得过任何协助），只有你乐意借着普遍的世界灵魂灌注到我迟钝的理智部分的，我都会坦诚交出，不欺不诈；正如我前两部既没有借助任何人的头脑、手、心或协助，现在我也不会去求人，也不会开始不信那份眷顾——凭着它我已涉过了前面的论著——而要像一位勇敢的斗士，踏进向全世界的诽谤者挑战的战场，尽我眼下的微力去做，等等；我不怀疑，每个时代都会有人出来，或修正我的缺失，或在不失谦逊的范围内为我的说法辩护。

Use of the Table.

表的用法。

In erecting a Figure by the Tables of Regiomontanus, this Table will be of good use: you must understand that one hour makes fifteen degrees in the Æquator, two hours thirty degrees, &c. and that one minute of an hour makes fifteen minutes in the Æquator, two minutes thirty minutes of the Æquator.

用雷乔蒙塔努斯的表起盘时，这张表很有用处：你要明白，一小时合赤道十五度，两小时合三十度，等等；时间的一分合赤道的十五分，两分合赤道的三十分。

The use you are to make of it is thus; in erecting your Figure, you must convert the hours before and after noon into degrees and minutes of the Æquator, and this is called vulgarly The right ascention of time: these degrees and minutes you must adde to the degrees and minutes of the Right ascention belonging to the ☉, and then see what degree of the Ecliptick answers unto them in the Table of Right ascentions, & that is the cusp of your tenth house:

用法是这样：起盘时，你要把正午之前或之后的时数化成赤道的度与分，这通常叫做「时间的赤经」；把这些度分加到太阳所属的赤经度分上，再到赤经表里看对应的是黄道哪一度，那就是你第十宫的宫头：

I would know the cusp of my tenth house by this manner of operation, for a Figure erected at 3. 25. P. M. Saturday the 12. of June 1647. the place of the ☉ at that time is 0. 51. ♋, but I will take one whole degree; look in the Table of Right ascentions under ♋, and over against the first degree thereof, which you find in the first Column and under ♋, 91. degr. and 5. min. to be the right ascention of the ☉ when he is in the first degree of ♋.

我想用这个办法求出第十宫宫头，盘是一六四七年六月十二日星期六午后三时二十五分起的，那时太阳在巨蟹零度五十一分，但我取整一度；在赤经表里看巨蟹之下，对着它的第一度——你在第一栏、巨蟹之下找到——是九十一度五分，这是太阳在巨蟹第一度时的赤经。

In the Table above, you may see three hours give me me 45. degr. of the Æquator, under the title of minutes of hours, I enter with 25. over against it I find 6. degr. 15. min. of the Æquator.

在上面的表里，你可以看到三小时给我赤道四十五度；在「时之分」这个标题下，我用二十五去查，对着它我找到赤道六度十五分。

My Work stands thus: 3 hours give 45 0. 25 minutes give 6 15. Right ascention of the ☉ 91 5. 142 20.

我的算式如下：三小时得四十五度零分；二十五分得六度十五分；太阳的赤经九十一度五分；合计一百四十二度二十分。

If you would look what degree of the Ecliptick answers 142. 20. which you must do in the Table of Right ascentions, you shall find the 20. of ♌, and that is the cusp of the tenth house.

你若查一百四十二度二十分对应黄道哪一度——这要在赤经表里查——就会找到狮子二十度，那就是第十宫的宫头。

If I add unto 142. 20. which is the right ascention of the Mid-heaven, 90. degr. (142 20 / 90) there ariseth 230. 20. with which if you enter into the Table of Oblique ascentions following, belonging to 53. degr. of latitude, it will point you out the degree of the ascendant, for that Elevation; you cannot find 230. 20. your precise number, but against the 5. of ♏ I find 230. 52. very neer it; which being more then my number, I must take a proportionall part from the next lesser Ark: But of this hereafter.

若我把九十度加到中天的赤经一百四十二度二十分上（一百四十二度二十分加九十度），就得出二百三十度二十分；用这个数去查后面北纬五十三度的斜升表，它会为那个极高指出上升的度数；你查不到正好二百三十度二十分这个数，但对着天蝎五度我看到二百三十度五十二分，很接近；它比我的数大，我就必须从下一个较小的弧按比例取一部分：这个后面再讲。

So that my ascendant will be four degrees and more, not fully five. I have purposely inserted these four Tables following, to instruct the Learner how he may erect a Figure of Heaven by Regiomontanus, which he ought punctually to doe upon a Nativity; but in ordinary Questions it's more scrupulous, then need is: what I have done now, is onely to initiate Tyroes that they may apprehend a little:

所以我的上升会是四度多，不满五度。我特意附上后面这四张表，教初学者怎样用雷乔蒙塔努斯的方法起盘，本命盘就应该一丝不苟地这样起；但用在寻常的卜卦上，就过于拘泥，不必如此：我现在做的，只是让新手入门，略知一二：

I shall performe the following example exactly to minutes; if you will make no use of the Table, then multiply the hours given you by 15. and divide the minutes of your hour by 4. and this way also converts the vulgar hours into degrees of the Æquator; either are speedily performed.

后面的例子我会精确到分；你若不用这张表，就把所给的时数乘以十五，把时间的分数除以四，这样也能把寻常的时刻化成赤道度数；两种办法都很快。

However, you see the cusp of the tenth house is gained onely by taking the Right ascention of the time, and adding it to the Right ascention of the ☉; if more then 360. remaine, cast away 360. and enter with the remaining number the Tables of Right ascention, and what degrees of the Ecliptick answer thereunto, those shall be the cusp of the tenth house.

总之你看，第十宫宫头只要取时间的赤经，加上太阳的赤经就得到；若剩下的超过三百六十，就减去三百六十，用余数去查赤经表，对应的黄道度数就是第十宫的宫头。
