卷三·第一百零一章　用雷乔蒙塔努斯的表起本命盘

To erect a Scheame of heaven by the Tables of Regiomontanus.

用雷乔蒙塔努斯的表起天宫图。

Our Native was borne under the elevation of 53. degrees, upon Thursday the 19. of September 1616. 2. hours, 24. min. 25. seconds P. M.

我们的本命者生于极高五十三度之下，一六一六年九月十九日星期四，午后二时二十四分二十五秒。

First, I fit the place of the ☉ to that hour, by reducing his motion to the elevation where the Native was borne, which is by allowing the time in the Ephemeris of Origanus limited, viz. 1. ho. and 7. min.

首先，我把太阳的位置调整到那个时刻，并把他的运动折算到本命者出生地的极高，办法是加上奥里加努斯星历所定的时间，即一小时七分。

The place of the ☉ to the time given is ☉ 6. 37 ♎

太阳在所给时刻的位置是天秤六度三十七分。

I look in the Table of right ascentions, and over against the 6. degr. of ♎, I find under the Signe ♎ 185 30. and these answer to the 6. degr. of ♎; but having 37. min. belonging to the place of the ☉, I must take the difference of the next greater Ark, and then work by proportion.

我查赤经表，对着天秤第六度，在天秤之下我找到一百八十五度三十分，这是对应天秤六度的；但太阳的位置还附有三十七分，我必须取下一个较大的弧的差数，然后按比例算。

Right ascention to the 7. of ♎ is 186 25

天秤七度的赤经是　一百八十六度二十五分

Right ascention to the 6. of ♎ is 185 30

天秤六度的赤经是　一百八十五度三十分

The difference is 00 55

差数是　零度五十五分

If 60. give 55. what 37. min. adhering to ☉.

若六十给五十五，太阳所附的三十七分给多少。

to be added to the right ascention belonging to the 6. dgr. of ♎ 185 30

要加到天秤第六度所属的赤经上　一百八十五度三十分

33

三十三分

The right ascention of the ☉ is 186 03

太阳的赤经是　一百八十六度三分

The right ascention of the time is thus:

时间的赤经这样求：

For two hours 30 deg. 0 m.

两小时　三十度零分

For 24. min. of an hour 06 0

一小时的二十四分　六度零分

30 seconds of an hour give 00 7

一小时的三十秒得　零度七分

36 7 of the æquator, as you may see in the canon of converting the degrees of the Æquator into hours.

合赤道三十六度七分，你在赤道度化时辰的换算表里可以看到。

The ☉ his right ascention is 186 3

太阳的赤经是　一百八十六度三分

The right ascention of the time is 036 7

时间的赤经是　三十六度七分

222 10

二百二十二度十分

So then 222. degr. 10. min. is the right ascention of the midheaven; and if you look for that number amongst the right ascentions, you shall find the neerest number to it to be 222 31. but this is more then my number, I therefore take the next lesser arke belonging to the 14. degr. of ♏, and work by proportion.

所以二百二十二度十分是中天的赤经；你若在赤经里找这个数，会发现最接近的是二百二十二度三十一分；但这比我的数大，所以我取属于天蝎第十四度的下一个较小的弧，按比例算。

Right ascention to 15. of ♏ 222 31

天蝎十五度的赤经　二百二十二度三十一分

Right ascention to 14. of ♏ 221 31

天蝎十四度的赤经　二百二十一度三十一分

00 60

零度六十分

Right ascention of mid-heaven 222 10

中天的赤经　二百二十二度十分

Right ascention of 14. ♏ 221 31

天蝎十四度的赤经　二百二十一度三十一分

39

三十九分

If 60. give 60. what 39.

若六十给六十，三十九给多少。

39

三十九

They give 39. min. which are to be added to the 14. degr. of ♏, and then the cusp of the mid-heaven is 14. degr. 39. min. of ♏: according unto which you must frame all your other houses : thus by a continuall addition of 30 degrees to the right ascention of the mid-heaven, and then entring the Table of oblique ascentions belonging to every house, you shall find out what degrees and minutes doth answer to the degrees of the Æquator, and thereby the degrees of the Ecliptick belonging to the cusp of every house.

得三十九分，要加到天蝎十四度上，于是中天宫头是天蝎十四度三十九分：其余各宫都要照它来起：就是把三十度连续加到中天的赤经上，再查各宫所属的斜升表，你就会找出哪些度分与赤道度数相对应，从而得出每一宫宫头的黄道度数。

If you enter Regiomontanus, pag. 175. he acquaints you what the severall circles of Position, or elevation of every Pole is, for the eleventh, twelft, second and third house, let the Native be born under any elevation on the North side the Æquinoctiall.

你若查雷乔蒙塔努斯第一百七十五页，他会告诉你第十一、十二、二、三宫的各个位置圈，即各自的极高是多少，本命者生在赤道以北任何极高之下都可查。

I acquainted you our Native was borne where the Pole was elevated 53. degr. look in the fourth column in pag. 175. of Regiomontanus for 53. viz. the Pole where the Birth is, over against it on the right hand, under the title of the same number of the eleventh and third house, you find 33 34. intimating that the Pole of position belonging to the eleventh and third house (for they have all one) is 33. degr. and 34. min. because 34. min. is above 30. in our example, I take the Pole of 34. degr. the cusps of the eleventh and third house, admitting of a greater difference ; he that would work them exactly, may work them by proportion; as Regiomontanus teacheth.

我已告诉你，我们的本命者生在极高五十三度的地方：在雷乔蒙塔努斯第一百七十五页的第四栏找五十三，即出生地的极高，在它右手边、第十一与第三宫同一数目的标题之下，你找到三十三度三十四分，表示第十一与第三宫所属的位置极高（因为两者相同）是三十三度三十四分；因为在我们的例子里三十四分超过三十，我就取极高三十四度来求第十一、第三宫的宫头，容许较大的误差；想要精确的人，可以照雷乔蒙塔努斯所教，按比例去算。

Over against 53. in the third column on the right hand, is 48 59. over the head of that the title is the Polar number, of the twelft and second houses, the opposite Signes and degrees in the same elevations, make the opposite houses.

对着五十三，在右手边第三栏是四十八度五十九分，它头上的标题是第十二、第二宫的极数；相对的星座与度数，在同样的极高下，构成相对的宫。

For the cusp of the eleventh house, Obl. ascention 252 10 Lat. 34. if you enter with your Oblique ascention in the lat. of 34. you find over against 252 10. 30. degr. of ♏, or 00. ♐, and that is the cusp of the eleventh without farther operation.

求第十一宫宫头，斜升二百五十二度十分，纬度三十四度。你若拿这个斜升去查纬度三十四度的表，会发现对着二百五十二度十分的是天蝎三十度，即射手零度，这就是第十一宫的宫头，无须再算。

Cusp of the twelft, Obl. ascention 282 10 Lat. 49.

第十二宫宫头，斜升二百八十二度十分，纬度四十九度。

Obl. ascention to 15. ♐ 282 25 Ob. asc. of the 12. Do. 282 10

If 1. degr. and 16. min. give 60. min. what 61.

若一度十六分给六十分，六十一给多少。

Or if 76. min. give 60. what 61.

或者，若七十六分给六十，六十一给多少。

360. 3660. divided by 76. rests 49 min. almost to be added to the 14. degr. of ♐; then the cusp is 14 49 ♐.

三百六十　三千六百六十，除以七十六，得近四十九分，要加到射手十四度上；于是宫头是射手十四度四十九分。

For the cusp of the first house under the elevation of 53. the Oblique ascention is 312 10.

求第一宫宫头，在极高五十三度之下，斜升是三百一十二度十分。

Oblique ascention to 7. of ♑ 312 30

摩羯七度的斜升　三百一十二度三十分

To 6. of ♑ 311 31

到摩羯六度　三百一十一度三十一分

difference 00 59

差零度五十九分

Oblique ascention of the ascendant 312 10

上升的斜升　三百一十二度十分

零度三十九分

若五十九　六十　三十九

So here are 37. min. to be added to the sixt degr. of ♑, and then the true cusp of the Horoscope is 6 37 ♑.

所以这里要把三十七分加到摩羯第六度上，于是上升的真正宫头是摩羯六度三十七分。

If you adde to the oblique ascention of the ascendant 30. degr. more, 312 10 30 the oblique ascention of the cusp of the second house will be 342 10. unto which degrees of the Æquator under the Pole of 49. you shall find by a just operation, the 23. deg. and 30. m. of ♒ to belong.

你若给上升的斜升再加三十度，三百一十二度十分加三十，第二宫宫头的斜升就是三百四十二度十分；在极高四十九度之下，按正确的算法，你会发现属于这些赤道度数的是水瓶二十三度三十分。

If I adde to 342 10 30 they produce 372 10. from which I substract the whole Circle, viz. 360. then rests 12 10. with which I enter into the Table of oblique ascentions for 34 deg. viz. the same for the eleventh house, and you shall find by a just proportion, 18. degr. and 34. min. of the Signe ♈ to be the cusp of the third house; thus have you the right ascention of the mid-heaven, and the oblique ascention of the eleventh, twelft, first, second, third houses.

我若给三百四十二度十分加三十，得三百七十二度十分，从中减去一整圈，即三百六十，余十二度十分；用它去查三十四度的斜升表，即与第十一宫相同的那张，按正确的比例，你会发现白羊十八度三十四分是第三宫的宫头；这样你就有了中天的赤经，以及第十一、十二、一、二、三宫的斜升。

Having erected your Scheam of Heaven aud fitted the cusps of the Houses, you must then take the diurnall motion of every Planet, and reduce them to the time of birth; then place them in the Figure, with ⊗ ☊ and ☋, having care of allowing every Planet that motion which is required for reduction of them to the elevatiou of the Pole or latitude where the Birth is:

起好天宫图、定好各宫宫头之后，你就要取每颗行星的日行，折算到出生时刻；然后把它们连同福点、龙头、龙尾放进盘里，注意给每颗行星加上为折算到出生地的极高或纬度所需的那段运行：

The time of our Native's birth is two hours, twenty four min. twenty five seconds; to this I adde one hour and seven min. which Origanus gives for reduction of his Ephemeris to London, and so take the motion of the Planets for three hours thirty one min. and this will serve very well without further trouble, or any sensible error; the place of the Birth being more east then London, so that though the time of Birth be two hours, twenty four mim. twenty five seconds, yet you must take the motion of the Planets for three hours and thirty one min.

我们本命者的出生时间是两小时二十四分二十五秒；我给它加上奥里加努斯为把他的星历折算到伦敦所给的一小时七分，于是取三小时三十一分的行星运行，这就很够用了，不必再费事，也没有什么察觉得到的误差；出生地比伦敦更偏东，所以虽然出生时间是两小时二十四分二十五秒，你却必须取三小时三十一分的行星运行。

There are some doe equate the time by adding or substracting to the time of the Birth, what proportion is assigned to the degree of the Signe where the ☉ is; whereof you may read Origanus, pag. 100. &c. though most of our late and ablest practisers used it very little, as Master Bredon, and Master Allen.

有人用加减的办法来均时，即按太阳所在星座度数所规定的比例，在出生时间上加或减；这个你可以读奥里加努斯第一百页等处；不过我们近来最能干的执业者大多很少用它，如布雷登先生和艾伦先生。
