卷三·第一百三十一章　娶妻难易；成婚之时

Whether the Native shall obtaine his WIFE with ease, or much difficulty.

本命者娶妻容易，还是很难。

HErein you must consider all the qualities of the Significators of Marriage, wherein if you find the greater part of them fortunate Planets, or well fortified, he shall easily then obtain his Wife; if they be weak, and are signified by the Infortunes, then not without labour and difficulty: but if they all be imbecill and ill affected, then shall he make love unto many, and be as oft deluded, and in conclusion have much difficulty in procuring a Wife: In whose Nativity ♀ is not in some good aspect with ♂, that party shall suffer many inconveniencies in his loves or affections.

这里你必须考虑婚姻征象星的一切性质，若发现其中大部分是吉星，或得力，他就容易娶到妻子；若它们弱，又由凶星表示，就不免费力而难；但若它们全都衰弱、处境不好，他就会向许多人求爱，又屡屡落空，最后娶妻十分困难：本命盘中金星与火星不成某种吉相位的人，在爱情或感情上会吃许多苦头。

Againe, the nature of the Significators is considerable, for the benevolent Planets doe promise happy successe; the greater happinesse the stronger they are: The malevolent, usually much labour, yea though they be very powerfull. I have ever observed, that when ♄ and ♂ are in ☍ out of the first and seventh houses, or when ♄ alone hath been neer the cusp of the seventh, or when ♀ hath been in ♌ or ♏, and not in aspect of ♂, or when ♂ hath been in ♍ ♑ or ♉ in the seventh, whether in aspect to ♀ or not, that the Native had extraordinary difficulty to procure a Wife, and married at last upon a sudden; but withall, that he was prone to Women, and abounded in Laciviousnesse, and was extreame Venerious in the worst sense.

再者，征象星的本性也要考虑，因为吉星许以顺利成功，越强越美满：凶星通常主多费力，即使它们很有力也一样。我一贯观察到：当土星与火星从第一宫与第七宫彼此对冲，或只有土星靠近第七宫头，或金星在狮子或天蝎而不与火星成相位，或火星在第七宫的处女、摩羯或金牛，不论与金星有没有相位，本命者娶妻都格外艰难，最后突然成婚；但同时他喜好女色，淫逸无度，在最坏的意义上极为好色。

The time of Marriage.

成婚的时间。

If all the Significators of Marriage or the greater part, and amongst these, the ☽ is Orientall of the ☉, and in Orientall quarters of Heaven, viz. tenth, eleventh, twelft, fourth, fift, sixt houses, then the Native shall marry in youth, or after his more mature yeers, shall espouse a young Woman.

若婚姻的全部或大部分征象星，其中又包括月亮，东出于太阳，又在天的东方象限，即第十、第十一、第十二、第四、第五、第六宫，本命者就会年轻时成婚，或在较成熟的年纪娶一位年轻女子。

If the Significators be Occidentall of the ☉, and in Occidentall quarters of Heaven, viz. ninth, eighth, seveth, first, second, third, he shall either then very late contract Matrimony, or else in his youth marry a Widow, or one very aged.

若征象星西入于太阳，又在天的西方象限，即第九、第八、第七、第一、第二、第三宫，他就或者很晚才缔结婚姻，或者年轻时娶寡妇或很老的女人。

Besides this, observe the motion of the Significators, for if they be direct and swift in motion, they declare Marriage in youth: but if they be Retrograde, slow in motion, or stationary, they prolong the time. Having collected the testimonies of the Significators, if then you find a discrepancy, you must have respect in that case to those Significators that neerest agree with the ☽ or ♀, but especially the ☽.

此外，要看征象星的运行，若它们顺行而行速快，就表示年轻时成婚：若逆行、行慢或留，就推迟时间。汇集了征象星的见证之后，若发现彼此参差，在这种情况下就要看那些与月亮或金星最相合的征象星，尤其是与月亮。

The more speciall time is best adjudged from the directions of the degree of the seventh house, or Lord thereof, or of the ☽ or ♀ to the degree, or to the Lord of the ascendant: The time of Marriage is better discoved in my judgment, all respect had to the opinions of the Ancients contrary unto it, viz. by direction of the mid-heaven to the ☌ ⚹ □ or △ of ♀, if she were potent in the Radix, or to the same apects with the ☽; or by direction of the ☉, direct and converse to the Body, ⚹ □ or △ of ☽ or ♀; or by direction of ☽ to any of the premised aspects to the ☉ or ♂: if the direction meet with a □ or ☍ either of ☉ or ♂, see if it fall not in the Termes of a Fortune; also, either mid-heaven or ☉ or ☽ directed to the ⚹ or △ of the Lord of the seventh, or a fortunate Planet in the seventh, denotes the time of Marriage.

更具体的时间，最好由第七宫的度数或第七宫主推运，或由月亮、金星推运到上升的度数或上升主星来判断：照我的看法，成婚的时间更好的发现法（古人与此相反的意见我也都考虑过）是：若金星在根盘中有力，就以中天推运到金星的会合、六分、四分或三分；或推到月亮的同样相位；或以太阳顺向与逆向推运到月亮或金星的本体、六分、四分或三分；或以月亮推运到太阳或火星的上述任一相位：若推运遇到太阳或火星的四分或对冲，要看它是否落在吉星的界里；还有，中天或太阳或月亮推运到第七宫主的六分或三分，或到第七宫内某颗吉星的六分或三分，都表示成婚的时间。
