卷三·第一百二十二章　论母亲

Of the Mother.

论母亲。

[Of the Mother] The Mothers Significators are, first, the tenth house; secondly, the Lord thereof; thirdly, ♀ in a diurnall Nativity, ☽ in a nocturnall; fourthly, a Planet or Planets in the tenth house.

（页边注：论母亲。）母亲的征象星是：第一，第十宫；第二，它的主星；第三，昼生的本命看金星，夜生的看月亮；第四，第十宫里的一颗或几颗行星。

All or the major part of these Significators well constituted in the Figure, viz. in good houses, or essentially dignified, prenoteth good unto the Mother, according to the quality of the Family from whence she is derived, and this after the Birth of the Child, whose Nativity you may handle:

这些征象星全部或大部分在盘中安置良好，即在好宫，或有必然尊贵，就预示母亲安好，与她出身的家族品第相称，而且是在你所处理其本命的那个孩子出生之后：

But if the Significators, especially the ☽, be extreamly afflicted, or very unfortunate, it imports much misery or Sicknesse unto the Mother, or else incumbred with many inconveniences and distractions; by examining the Significators both of Father and Mother, you may easily discover whether the state of the Father or Mother is like to be more happy, whether you have regard to the Goods of Fortune, Body or Mind: for this is a generall rule, that whose Significators are best fortified, their condition is most happy.

但若征象星，尤其是月亮，受到极重的侵害，或非常不吉，就表示母亲有许多苦难或疾病，或为许多不便与烦乱所困；考察父亲与母亲双方的征象星，你就容易发现父亲还是母亲的境况可能更幸福，无论你看的是福运之物、身体还是心灵：因为这是一条通则：谁的征象星最得力，谁的境况就最幸福。

The quality of what is good, or may advance either Parent, is signified by ♃ or ♀; what may prejudice them by ♄ or ♂, the houses wherein they are posited considered: ♂ afflicting the Significator, then Martiall men or things doe hurt; if ♄, then Saturnine; respect the house as aforesaid; So also, the Orientality and Occidentality of ☽ and ♀; Orientall, the Fortunes more hurt the Life; Occidentall, the Estate. The happy condition of the Mothers Significators, shew her good state: the Father's Significators well dignified, argue his good fortune and prosperous condition.

能使父母任何一方得益或进步的事物，其性质由木星或金星表示；可能损害他们的，由土星或火星表示，并要考虑它们所在之宫：火星侵害征象星，就是属火星的人或事来伤害；若是土星，就是属土星的；照前面说的看宫：同样也要看月亮与金星的东出与西入；东出时，吉星更多伤及生命；西入时，伤及产业。母亲征象星的境况幸福，表示她境况好：父亲的征象星尊贵良好，主他运气好、境况兴旺。

☽ or ♀ in the tenth, in good aspect with ♃, it argues the Mother her health and happy state; ☽ or ♀ in ☌ with ♄ ♂ or ☿ in the tenth or fourth, signifie she will not live long.

月亮或金星在第十宫，与木星成吉相位，表示母亲健康、境况幸福；月亮或金星与土星、火星或水星会合于第十宫或第四宫，表示她不会长寿。

If the ☽ be fortunate in her owne house, or in Exaltation in an angle, or succedant house, and be assisted by ♀ her ⚹ or △, or else ♃ doe aspect her, the Mother is like to live long and happily.

若月亮在她自己的庙、或在旺，位于角宫或续宫而吉利，又得金星以六分或三分相助，或木星照看她，母亲就可能长寿而幸福。

☽ and ♀ in abject places of the Figure, viz. one in the twelfth, the other in the sixt, shew the Mother to have been a servant.

月亮与金星在盘中卑下之位，即一个在第十二宫，另一个在第六宫，表示母亲曾经是仆人。

♄ or ♂ afflicting the ☽ by □ or ☍, they also slow in motion, and removed from the angles, shew a sickly mother: if the ☽ and they are swift in motion, and ☽ and ♀ in the first or tenth, second or eleventh, they shorten the Mothers life: ☽ Orientall, afflicted of ♄, shewes, Feavers, Agues, Trembling or great Feares, unto the Mother: ☽ Occidentall, and so afflicted, declares many Diseases: Death by some Impostumation in her Secrets, as the Matrix, Reines, &c. ☽ in ☍ of ♄, prenotes Death to the Mother by continuall Sicknesse, and the Chollick.

土星或火星以四分或对冲侵害月亮，它们又行速迟缓、远离角宫，表示母亲多病：若月亮与它们行速快，月亮与金星又在第一或第十、第二或第十一宫，它们就缩短母亲的寿命：月亮东出而受土星侵害，表示母亲有热病、疟疾、颤抖或大恐惧：月亮西入而同样受害，宣告多种疾病：死于私处的某种脓肿，如子宫、肾等等。月亮对冲土星，预示母亲因久病与绞痛而死。
