卷三·第一百零六章　体质与气质；诸行星与星座的冷热干湿

Of the Complexion or Temperament of the Body; quality of the Planets and Signes.

论身体的体质或气质；诸行星与星座的性质。

Great and manifold are the variety of Temperaments, both according to the Species, and according to the Individuall; for infinite is the variety of good humours and vitious in the body of man, in regard of the temper of the Parents; and also occasioned by the severall and divers positions of the Starres and their commixtions: But as there are four principall humours in the bodyes of living soules, so doth also four principall Temperatures answer these; Sanguine, which is temperately hot and moyst; Phlegmatick, which is moyst and cold; Cholerick, which is hot and dry; Melanchollick, which is cold and dry.

气质的种类繁多而多样，既按种别，也按个体；因为人身中好的与坏的体液，变化无穷，这一方面由于父母的气质，一方面也由于星辰种种不同的位置及其混合：但正如有生命者的身体里有四种主要的体液，同样也有四种主要的气质与之相应：多血质，温和地热而湿；黏液质，湿而冷；胆汁质，热而干；忧郁质，冷而干。

These four Temperatures, Complexions or Humours are knowne from the proper qualities and natures of the Significators of Temperaments, and their mutuall commixtion, the testimonies of every quality being collected into a certaine method, viz. Hot, Cold, Moyst, Dry.

这四种气质、体质或体液，要从气质征象星本身固有的性质及其相互混合中得知，把每一种性质的见证按一定方法汇集起来，即热、冷、湿、干。

Significators of the Complexion are

体质的征象星是：

First, The Signe ascending, and Lord thereof.

第一，上升星座及其主星。

Secondly, The Planet or Planets placed in the ascendant, or the ☊ or ☋ or the Planets partilly affecting the ascendant.

第二，位于上升的一颗或几颗行星，或龙头、龙尾，或与上升成精确相位的行星。

Tirdly, The ☽ and Planet or Planets beholding her within Mediety of their Orbs.

第三，月亮，以及在其容许度的一半之内照看她的一颗或几颗行星。

Fourthly, The quarter of the yeer or Signe the ☉ is in.

第四，一年的季节，即太阳所在的星座。

Fiftly, The Lord of the Geniture.

第五，命主。

The quality of the Significators and Signes wherein they are placed are to be orderly examined ; wherein you must not forget, that if either ♄ or ♂ behold the ascendant or the ☽ with a malevolent aspect, they intermix their intemperate qvalities to the temperature of the body, yea, though all other testimonies concur very well.

征象星及其所在星座的性质，要依次逐一考察；其中你不可忘记：若土星或火星以凶相位照看上升或月亮，他们就把自己不调和的性质混进身体的气质里，即使其他所有见证都非常一致。

Nature of the Signes.

星座的性质。

♈ ♌ ♐ Fiery Triplicity, Hot and dry, viz. Cholerick.

白羊、狮子、射手，火象三方，热而干，即胆汁质。

♉ ♍ ♑ Earthly Triplicity, Cold and dry, viz. Melancholly.

金牛、处女、摩羯，土象三方，冷而干，即忧郁质。

♊ ♎ ♒ Ayery Triplicity, Hot and moyst, viz. Sanguine.

双子、天秤、水瓶，风象三方，热而湿，即多血质。

♋ ♏ ♓ Watry Triplicity, Cold and moyst, viz. Phlegmatick.

巨蟹、天蝎、双鱼，水象三方，冷而湿，即黏液质。

Consider the qualities of the Significators and Signes, and collect the testimonies of every of the four qualities, viz. Hot, Moyst, Cold, Dry, according to the major testimonies, so judge of the Complexion.

考虑征象星与星座的性质，汇集四种性质，即热、湿、冷、干各自的见证，按多数的见证来判断体质。

If Heat and Moysture overcome, the Native is of Sanguine Complexion: if Cold and Moysture, then he is Phlegmatick: if Heat and Drinesse, then cholerick: if Cold and Drinesse, then Melancholly.

若热与湿占上风，本命者是多血质体质；若冷与湿，他是黏液质；若热与干，是胆汁质；若冷与干，是忧郁质。

You must deale warily in the collection of the testimonies of the four Humours, of Heat, Humidity, Cold and Drinesse; for it may come to passe, that the qualities of the Planet and Sign may obtaine the same equall number of testimonies, and the one have as many testimonies of Heat, as the other of Cold, these being repugnant qualities, the one takes off the other, and they are not numbred or accounted : where there is no contradiction, those testimonies are accepted, when one Planet is Lord of the Genitnre and Horoscope, you shall allow him in collection of the testimonies a three-fold vertue or influence in the Complexion: the ☽ being in the ascendant, her testimonies shall be twice exhibited. The practicall part hereof see in our subsequent Nativity.

汇集四种体液即热、湿、冷、干的见证时，你必须小心；因为可能出现这样的情形：行星的性质与星座的性质得到同样多的见证，一个有多少热的见证，另一个就有多少冷的见证，这两者是相抵触的性质，一个抵消另一个，就不计数；没有抵触之处，那些见证才被采纳；当一颗行星既是命主又是上升主星时，你在汇集见证时要给他在体质上三倍的效力或影响；月亮在上升时，她的见证要算两次。其实际操作，见我们后面的本命。
