卷三·第一百零七章　本命者的品性

Of the Manners of the Native or Child.

论本命者或孩子的品性。

Wee may not doubt, but that the manners and motions of the mind, and the greatest part of our principall humane actions and events of life, doe accompany, or are concomitant with, and acted according to the quality of the Temperature and inclinations; for the accidents of the Mind are twofold, some rationall, others irrationall, or more proper to the Sensitive power.

我们不可怀疑：心灵的品性与动向，以及我们人生中主要行为与事件的大部分，都伴随着气质与禀性的性质，或与之同时出现，并照它们而行；因为心灵的偶有之事有两类，一类是理性的，另一类是非理性的，或者说更属于感觉之能。

The generall rules of discovering the qualities of the mind by a Nativity, are these

由本命发现心灵性质的总规则如下：

First, if any Planet do occupy the Sign ascending, or which is intercepted, he shall be principall Significator of Manners; but he shall also participate in the same signification, whatsoever Planet he is, that hath dignity in the place of the Significator of Manners.

第一，若有某颗行星占据上升星座，或占据被截在上升里的星座，他就是品性的主要征象星；但无论是哪颗行星，只要他在品性征象星的位置上有尊贵，他也参与同一征象。

Secondly, consider that Planet who is the Significator, and his Dispositor; for if he be a benevolent Planet, or in aspect with such, and strong, he denotes laudable or compleat Manners, according to his nature : if he prove a malevolent Planet, or is infested with the hostile beames of one, and be impotent besides, he renders evill and corrupt Manners, such as naturally that Planet signifies. If a good Planet by nature be Significator, or configurated with good, but exist weak, he shewes good aud wholesome Manners in shew, yet inwardly they are somewhat obscure, muddy, or very simple:

第二，考虑那颗作征象星的行星及其定位星；因为他若是吉星，或与吉星成相位，而且强，他就按自己的本性主可称道或完美的品性；他若证明是凶星，或受凶星敌对光线的侵扰，又无力，他就使品性邪恶败坏，即那颗行星本性所主的那种。若一颗本性为吉的行星作征象星，或与吉星成格局，但本身弱，他所示的品性表面上良好健全，内里却有些晦暗、混浊，或者非常单纯：

The Infortunes potent, argue good, pretty conditions, but ever mixed with a tincture of poyson, or with the remaines of some crabbed condition or other, which I have ever found true.

凶星有力，主良好、不错的性情，但总混着一点毒性，或残留着这样那样的乖戾脾气，这一点我一向发现是真的。

☿ affords manners according to the nature of that Planet whose nature he assumes; and this he doth in a twofold way.

水星所给的品性，按他所取其本性的那颗行星而定；他取性有两种方式。

1. When joyned to any Planet by ☌, but if he be joyned to many, he assumes the nature of that Planet with whom he is neerest in ☌, and who is the most fortified or dignified.

一、当他与某颗行星会合时；但他若与好几颗会合，就取离他最近、又最强最尊贵的那颗行星的本性。

2. If he be not in ☌ with any Planet, he assumes his nature in whose essentiall dignity he is placed: ☊ is equivalent to ♃, ☋ to ♄ and ♂.

二、他若不与任何行星会合，就取他所在位置的必然尊贵之主的本性：龙头等同木星，龙尾等同土星与火星。

The Luminaries in the Horoscope, effect no great matters, but in a generall way, unlesse they be wonderfull strongly fortified.

两光在上升，作用不大，只是泛泛而已，除非它们强得出奇。

If many Planets occupy the Horoscope, all shall be Significators, and they breed variety of manners: but the most powerfull Planet amongst them, shall give the most durable, and such as will continue ; the other not so permanent. How long they shall continue, you may know by directions; for when the ☽ is directed to the termes or aspect of the most potent Planet, then the Native is almost wholly participant of his Manners, and shall most manifest them to the world in his actions; when the ☽ varies her Terme or aspect, and doth meet with another of a another quality, then doe his Manners vary, and he assumes the conditions of that Planet to whose Termes or aspect she is directed, viz. if the ☽ comes to the Terms or aspect of ♀, the Native is Cheerfull; to the Termes or aspect of ♃, Discreet, Modest, Religious; to the Termes of ♂, Angry, Cholerick, Quarrelsome; to Terms or aspect of ♄, Grave, Melancholly, Sullen, full of Fears, Laborious, &c.

若有许多行星占据上升，它们都是征象星，造成品性的多样；但其中最有力的那颗行星，所给的品性最持久，会一直保持；其余的则不那么持久。它们能保持多久，可由推运得知；因为当月亮推运到最有力那颗行星的界或相位时，本命者就几乎完全带上他的品性，并在行事中向世人最明显地表现出来；当月亮换了界或相位，遇上另一颗性质不同的行星时，他的品性就随之改变，带上月亮所推运到其界或相位的那颗行星的性情，即：若月亮到金星的界或相位，本命者开朗；到木星的界或相位，审慎、端庄、虔诚；到火星的界，易怒、暴躁、好争吵；到土星的界或相位，庄重、忧郁、阴沉、满心恐惧、勤劳，等等。

No Planet posited in the ascendant, observe what Planet is joyned to ☽ or ☿, judge the manners of the Native to assimilate with the nature of that Planet.

上升里没有行星，就看哪颗行星与月亮或水星会合，判断本命者的品性与那颗行星的本性相似。

If the Planet be joyned to ☽ and ☿ both, it's as much as if there were many Planets in the Horoscope, for they signifie discrepancy in manners; but yet those signified by the most powerfull Planet shall continue longest, &c.

若那颗行星与月亮和水星两者都会合，就等于上升里有许多行星一样，因为它们主品性的参差；但最有力那颗行星所主的品性仍会保持最久，等等。

No Planet in the ascendant, or joyned to Mercury or Luna, then take the Lord of the ascendant, according to his nature, be it good or ill, and so judge of the manners; but so, as his Dispositor behold him with some aspect. If no Planet aspect him, have recourse to that Planet who forcibly aspects Luna and Mercury with a partill aspect.

上升里没有行星，也没有行星与水星或月亮会合，那就取上升主星，按他的本性，不论吉凶，来判断品性；但前提是他的定位星以某种相位照看他。若没有行星照看他，就求助于那颗以精确相位有力地照看月亮与水星的行星。

If none have a partill aspect to Mercury or Luna, then he shall signifie the manners, who in the place of Mercury and Luna hath the most essentiall dignities.

若没有行星与水星或月亮成精确相位，那么在水星与月亮位置上必然尊贵最多的那颗行星，就主品性。

The Significator of Manners joyned to fixed Starres of the first or second magnitude, being but a little distant from the Ecliptick, have great signification in the Manners, and make those signified to be more apparent; for if the Significator of Manners be with Caput Medusæ in 21. ♉, it begets in the Native a certaine dogged nature and violence, whereby he either procures sudden death unto himselfe, or is the cause of it to others.

品性征象星与离黄道不远的一等或二等恒星相合，在品性上意义重大，使所主的品性更加显露；比如品性征象星若与金牛二十一度的美杜莎之首同在，就使本命者生出某种凶狠的本性与暴戾，以致他或者给自己招来横死，或者成为别人横死的原因。

The Pleiades in 24. ♉, inclines the Native to be wanton, ambitious, turbulent.

金牛二十四度的昴星团，使本命者倾向放荡、好名、躁动不安。

Oculus ♉ in 4. 30, ♊, to be fierce, full of courage to delight in Military affaies, unquiet, seditious; but the ☽ in ☌ with it, imports a good fellow, especially in the ascendant; but if the Lord of the ascendant be with the ☽ in ☌ with that fixed Starre, he proves a Murderer ; the more probable, if he be a masculine Planet, and the ☉ unfortunate: usually ♄ with Oculus ♉, produces great afflictions, and shewes a strange mind and very wicked.

双子四度三十分的金牛之眼，使人凶猛、满怀勇气、喜好军务、不安分、好煽动；但月亮与它会合，主人是个好伙伴，尤其在上升时；但若上升主星与月亮一同与这颗恒星会合，他就会成为杀人者；他若是阳性行星，而太阳不吉，就更有可能：通常土星与金牛之眼同在，主大苦难，并显示心性怪异而非常邪恶。

The little Goat in 16. 30 ♊, begets in the minds of men a curiosity, together with much carefulnesse and fearfulnesse; such would know all things, and itch after Novelties.

双子十六度三十分的小山羊，在人心中生出好奇，连同许多操心与畏惧；这样的人想知道一切，渴求新奇。

The Girdle of Orion in 17. 20. ♊, sharpens the understanding memory, and makes men industrious.

The lesser Dog starre in almost 9 degr. of ♋, designes a petulant sawcy fellow, prone to anger, proud, carelesse, violent, giddy.

在巨蟹将近九度的小犬星，主一个任性无礼的家伙，易怒、骄傲、粗心、暴烈、轻浮。

Hercules in 18. ♋, induces subtilty and craft, spirit and valour, audaciousnesse mixed with cruelty and rashnesse.

巨蟹十八度的赫拉克勒斯，引出机巧与狡诈、精神与勇气，以及混着残忍与鲁莽的大胆。

The Basilisk, or Heart of the Lyon in 24. ♌, as I said of the other fixed Starres, when either the Significator of Manners or Lord of the ascendant is in ☌ with them, or any of them, so I say, if either of them is corporally with the Lyons Heart, it shewes the Native to be magnanimous, that he is of generous and civill condition, desires to beare rule, or is ambitious of dominion over others.

狮子二十四度的巴西利斯克，即狮子之心，正如我说其他恒星时一样：品性征象星或上升主星与它们或其中任何一颗会合时如何；所以我说，若二者之一与狮子之心本体相会，就显示本命者宽宏大度，性情慷慨而有教养，想要掌权，或渴望支配他人。

The Scorpions Heart in 4. 30. ♐, shew a rash, ravenous and head-strong person, destructive to himselfe by his obstinacy.

射手四度三十分的天蝎之心，显示一个鲁莽、贪婪而刚愎的人，因固执而毁了自己。

The Virgins Spike in 18. ♎, expresse a man or person of sweet disposition, diligent in attaining Arts and Sciences, or a most admirable invention when ☿ is with him; if ♄ be there, it imports a suspicious person, sharp and rugged, violent in dispute; if ♂ be with Spica ♍, it presupposes a rigid person, and yet a fool, or little better.

天秤十八度的处女之穗，表示一个性情温和的男子或人，勤于学习技艺与学问；水星与它同在时，有极可赞叹的发明之才；若土星在那里，主一个多疑、尖刻粗硬、争辩激烈的人；若火星与处女之穗同在，就预示一个严苛之人，却又是个傻瓜，或好不了多少。

Lyra in 10. ♑, inclines to gravity and sobriety, yet but with outward pretences, for usually the person is lascive.

摩羯十度的天琴，使人倾向庄重与清醒，但只是外表装出来的，因为这人通常淫荡。

Aquila in 26. ♑, a bold, confident, valiant person, never yeelding, guilty of blood-shed, of distempered Manners, &c.

摩羯二十六度的天鹰，主一个大胆、自信、勇敢的人，从不屈服，犯有流血之罪，品性失调，等等。

Rictus ♑ in 1. of ♒, if ☿ be there, argues a sollid head-piece, or one of a piercing understanding.

水瓶一度的摩羯之口，若水星在那里，主一个头脑坚实，或理解力敏锐的人。

The constellation of the Dolphin from the 9. to the 15. of ♒ portends one of simple looks, but cheerfull, deligted in hawking, hunting, and other pleasing sports, yet of double intentions, or in plaine termes, one that speaks one thing, and intends another, or dissembles with his best friends.

从水瓶九度到十五度的海豚星座，预示一个外貌单纯却开朗的人，喜好鹰猎、打猎和其他赏心的游戏，但心怀二意，或说白了，是一个嘴上说一件事、心里打算另一件事的人，或者对他最好的朋友也虚与委蛇。

The Taile of the Swan, or Cauda Cygni in the beginning of ♓, makes a man ingenious, and apt to any learning or knowledge, &c.

天鹅之尾，即天鹅尾，在双鱼之初，使人聪颖，善于学任何学问知识，等等。

About the yeer of Christ 1494. Johannes Angelus, in the City of Venice, printed a Book, wherein he did deliver a little of the Manners of every Native according to the degree ascending, with a fit Motto and Icon thereunto: but because I conceive he was a little too strict therein, I referre the Reader to judge of his Works; and have thought good to relate what I find in a generall way delivered.

约在基督纪元一四九四年，约翰内斯·安杰卢斯在威尼斯城印行一本书，书中按上升的度数，讲每个本命者的一点品性，并配上合宜的题词与图像：但因为我认为他在这方面有点太拘泥，我请读者自己去评判他的著作；我只想把我所见泛泛传下的说法讲一讲。

The Ancients have therefore delivered, That when the Significator of Manners is in ♈, he incites the Native to be witty and ingenious.

于是古人传下：品性征象星在白羊时，激发本命者机智聪颖。

When in ♉, then he is laborious; for the Oxe or Bull is represented by ♉.

在金牛时，他就勤劳；因为金牛代表牛或公牛。

♊ represents one witty, deceitfull, and yet a lover of Arts and Learning.

双子代表一个机智、狡诈、却又爱好技艺与学问的人。

双鱼，主一个口吃的人，奸诈，假装圣洁，其实是个十足的伪君子。

Againe, a Sanguine temperament shewes men or person cheerfull, liberall, faithfull, affable, peace-makers, open hearted, modest, religious.

再者，多血质的气质，显示人或人们开朗、慷慨、忠实、和蔼、好调解、坦诚、谦逊、虔诚。
