卷三·第一百三十章　仆人与小牲畜；第七宫论婚姻：会否娶妻

Of Servants or small Cattle.

论仆人或小牲畜。

THE Significators of ones Family, are, first, the sixt house and Lord thereof; secondly, ☿ a generall Significator of Servants: thirdly, a Planet or Planets in the sixt: if these Significators or the most of them be benevolent by nature, or well fortified, it argues the Native shall have a a great Family, many Servants, and they frugall and profitable for him; the contrary judge, when the Significators are evill by nature and unfortunate in the Scheame. In the same nature must you judge of small Cattle, &c. and of their profit unto the Native, &c. Where observe, that a malignant Planet essentially fortified and Significator of a Servant, in good aspect with the Lord of the ascendant, may shew a good Servant, though of rough condition.

一个人家仆的征象星，第一是第六宫及其主星；第二是水星，仆人的一般征象星；第三是第六宫内的一颗或几颗行星：这些征象星若全部或大部分本性吉利，或得力，就表示本命者会有一大家人，仆人众多，又节俭而对他有益；征象星本性凶恶、在盘中不吉时，作相反的判断。小牲畜及其给本命者的收益等等，也照同样的道理判断。这里要注意，一颗凶星若有必然尊贵之力，又是仆人的征象星，与上升主星成吉相位，可能表示一个好仆人，虽然性情粗硬。

The Lord of the sixt in any angle fortunate, shewes good Servants; Lord of the sixt in the tenth, argues, the Native will prefer his Servants. ☿ well posited in the tenth, first, sixt or twelfth, applying to ♃ in a common or moveable Signe, predicts many servants, and they faithfull; but if he be Retrograde or Combust, and apply to infortunes in fixed Signes, the Natives Servants prove Theeves, unfaithfull, &c. a fortune in the sixt or twelfth, shews good servants and profit by their labour. ♄ peregrine, ☋ or ♂ in an Aery or fiery Signe in the sixt, usually portends theevish Servants, or such as the Master gets nothing by keeping them.

第六宫主在任何角宫而吉利，主仆人好；第六宫主在第十宫，表示本命者会提拔他的仆人。水星好好地落在第十、第一、第六或第十二宫，在双体或启动星座入相于木星，预言仆人多而忠实；但若他逆行或焦伤，又在固定星座入相于凶星，本命者的仆人就会是贼，不忠等等。吉星在第六或第十二宫，主仆人好，并因他们的劳作得利。土星游离，或龙尾、火星在第六宫的风象或火象星座，通常预示仆人手脚不干净，或者主人留着他们什么也得不到。

The seventh House, and the Judgments appertaining unto it.

第七宫，及属于它的判断。

Of Marriage: and first of Mens Marriages.

论婚姻：先论男子的婚姻。

MAny things are here considerable, but especially these which follow:

这里要考虑的事很多，但特别是下面这些：

First, you must understand that in the Marriages of Men ♀ and the ☽ are principally to be observed.

第一，你必须明白，在男子的婚姻中，主要看金星与月亮。

Secondly, the seventh House and Lord thereof.

第二，第七宫及其主星。

Thirdly, a Planet or Planets posited in the seventh, by a due and serious consideration hereof, its possible to judge of the nature and quality, Dowry and other circumstances concerning a Wife.

第三，第七宫内的一颗或几颗行星；对这些作恰当而认真的考虑，就可以判断妻子的性情与品质、嫁妆以及其他相关情形。

Whether the Native shall marry a Wife yea or no.

本命者是否会娶妻。

[Signes of no Marriage.] You are herein to poyse with judgement all the Significators belonging hereunto, how they are affected, principally ♀ and ☽, if both these Planets be in barren Signes, viz. ♍ ♊ ♌, and also in cadent houses, viz. 6. 9. 12. 8. (for the eight house, though it be not cadent, yet is admitted in this judgement by reason of its malignancy:) these testimonies import either a single life, or an aversenesse from Marriage; and if it chance that the other Significators doe herein concur, and that they be in sterill Signes and cadent houses, the effects of the former significators shall be more manifest and certain.

（页边注：不婚之兆。）这里你要用判断力权衡所有相关的征象星，看它们处境如何，主要是金星与月亮：若这两颗行星都在不育星座，即处女、双子、狮子，又在果宫，即第六、第九、第十二、第八宫（第八宫虽不是果宫，因为它的凶性，在这一判断里也算进来）：这些见证主独身，或厌恶婚姻；若其他征象星恰好也在这一点上相合，也在不育星座与果宫，前面那些征象星的效果就更明显、更确定。

If the aforesaid Significators, but especially ☽ and ♀ are not so constituted; see then if either of them is weake or little fortified; and besides that, conjoyned to ♄, he being very potent, ♀ her selfe alone, having not the support of any Planet by a good aspect; and if you then finde ☽ posited in a barren Sign, or cadent house, or extreamly afflicted; these argues no Marriage or any desire thereunto.

若上述征象星，尤其月亮与金星，不是这样配置；那就看它们之中是否有一颗弱或不太得力；此外是否与土星会合，而土星很有力，金星本身又得不到任何行星吉相位的支持；若你再发现月亮在不育星座或果宫，或受害极深；这些就主不婚，或根本无意于此。

But in this point of judgment, you must ever understand, that ♄ ought to be very strong; for if ♀ and the ☽ be more fortified then ♄, then the preceding judgment holds not true.

但在这一点判断上，你必须始终明白，土星应当很强；因为若金星与月亮比土星更得力，前面的判断就不成立。

The same judgment before delivered, will hold of a single Life, or unwillingnesse thereunto: when in a Nativity you find ♄ more elevated then either ☽ or ♀, no Planet assisting either of them; for herein his elevation is equivalent to a ☌.

本命盘中若见土星升得比月亮或金星都高，又没有行星助它们任何一颗，前面所说独身或不愿成婚的判断同样成立；因为在这里，他的升高等于会合。

And this judgment seems to be confirmed with reason, for ☽ and ♀ signifie Legitimate Marriages, and the Natives affection to a married life; therfore if either of these or both be extreamly impedited of ♄, the author of Monkery and Solitarinesse, or of single life, it takes away that affection of mind which doth usually stir up a desire in the Native to contract Matrimony.

这个判断看来也有道理可证：因为月亮与金星主合法的婚姻，以及本命者对婚姻生活的情感；所以若其中一颗或两颗受土星极大的阻碍，而土星主修道、孤独或独身，就夺去了通常激起本命者想要缔结婚姻的那份心意。

Concubines and private Sweet-hearts are discovered by ♀ her aspect to ♄ and ♂, being all of them peregrine or weak, and in no good aspect of the ☉ or ☽: ☉ ♃ ☿ argue Chastity; ♀ and ♂ Impudency and Lust.

姘妇与私下的情人，从金星与土星、火星的相位看出，三者都游离或弱，又不得太阳或月亮的吉相位：太阳、木星、水星主贞洁；金星与火星主无耻与情欲。

You must remember this, that the other Significators of Marriage are also to be examined, viz. whether they be in barren Signes or cadent houses, or weak and much afflicted, and in ☌ with ♄ and he well fortified; for if the testimonies of these Significators agree with the affliction of ♀ & ☽, without doubt the Native will then never Marry: ☽ in ♏, in □ of ♄, he in ♌ or ♉; ☽ Combust of the ☉ and in □ or ☍ to ♄, if she be in ♑ ♒ or ♎, the Native never Marries.

你必须记住这一点：婚姻的其他征象星也要检视，即它们是否在不育星座或果宫，或弱而受害深，又与土星会合而土星得力；因为若这些征象星的见证与金星、月亮所受的侵害一致，本命者无疑永远不会娶妻：月亮在天蝎，受土星四分，土星在狮子或金牛；月亮被太阳焦伤，又与土星四分或对冲，若她在摩羯、水瓶或天秤，本命者永不娶妻。

The ☍ of ♀ and ♄, or □, helps much to a single life; the ☽ as well as shee being in a barren Signe, and cadent house, and some of the other Significators either unhappily placed in bad houses or unfruitfull Signes: but it's observable, that the ☽ in □ or ☍ of ♄, hath not so strong signification of a single life, as that of her selfe without many other testimonies she shall signifie any such thing, no although ♀ her selfe be in a barren Signe.

金星与土星对冲或四分，很有助于独身；月亮与金星一样都在不育星座与果宫，又有其他征象星或不幸地落在坏宫，或在不育星座；但要注意，月亮与土星四分或对冲，表示独身的力量并不那么强，没有许多别的见证，单凭她自己并不表示此事，即使金星本身在不育星座也不行。

Signes of Marrirge.

成婚之兆。

Signe of the seventh a prolificall Signe.

第七宫的星座是多产星座。

The Lord thereof fortunate; a benevolent Planet in the seventh.

第七宫主吉利；吉星在第七宫。

♀ and ☽ in fecund Signes, and in the fift, first or eleventh or tenth houses.

金星与月亮在多产星座，又在第五、第一、第十一或第十宫。

Lord of the ascendant appying to the Lord of the seventh, there being also equall Reception betwixt them, the Native will desire Marriage, and these are assured testimonies of his abilites and potency to Venerious acts; so that where you find these configurations or the major part concurring, they argue, the Native will marry, &c.

上升主星入相于第七宫主，二者之间又有对等的接纳，本命者会想要婚姻，这些也是他在房事上有能力与精力的确凿见证；所以凡发现这些格局或其大部分凑在一起，就主本命者会娶妻，等等。
