卷三·第一百三十四章　妻子的美丑、品性与财富

What manner of Wife or Wives the Native shall have, if Faire or Deformed.

本命者会有怎样的妻子，美还是丑。

THe true signification hereof is generally taken from the Signe of the seventh, and the nature of the Planet who is principall Significator of the Wife, or from the Planets beholding the ☽, she applying unto them either by ☌, or any other partill aspect: If all or most of these be in Signes of pulchritude, they argue a handsome Wife; in Signes of deformity, a foule Wife: Signes which declare fairnesse, are ♊ ♍ ♎ and first part of ♐; ♏ ♒ and ♓ shew mediocrity: Signes of deformity are ♈ ♉ ♋ ♌, the latter part of ♑ and ♐:

这一点的真正判断，通常取自第七宫的星座，以及身为妻子主征象星的那颗行星的本性，或取自照看月亮的那些行星，即月亮以会合或其他精确相位入相于它们：若这些全部或大部分在秀美的星座，主妻子容貌好看；在丑陋的星座，主妻子难看：表示美貌的星座是双子、处女、天秤以及射手的前段；天蝎、水瓶、双鱼主中等：丑陋的星座是白羊、金牛、巨蟹、狮子，以及摩羯与射手的后段：

The principall Significator of deformity is ♄, when therefore ♄ afflicteth the Significators with his evill aspect, he causeth deformity; the Significator Combust of the ☉, deformes the Complexion: when ♀ is with ♄ in the Termes of ♄, or ♄ doe behold ♀, the Native marrieth an old woman, or of more yeers then doth agree with his age: ♄ and ♂ in the seventh promiseth the same.

丑陋的主征象星是土星，所以当土星以凶相位侵害征象星，就造成丑陋；征象星被太阳焦伤，损坏面色：当金星与土星同在土星的界内，或土星照金星，本命者娶一个老女人，或比他年纪大的：土星与火星在第七宫，也许以同样的事。

♃ ♀ and ☽ happily in configuration with each other, or aspecting the cusp of the seventh house, or the principall Significator, declares a handsome Wife.

木星、金星与月亮彼此成吉利的格局，或照第七宫头，或照主征象星，主妻子好看。

♃ Notwithstanding in the seventh, in ☌ with the ☽, gives no very handsome Woman, if other circumstances concurre not; and this I have proved true many times, as also, that if he be in the seventh, and not essentially strong, he gives a Widow and not a Maid.

然而木星在第七宫与月亮会合，若没有其他情形配合，给的并不是很好看的女人；这一点我验证过许多次；还有，若他在第七宫而必然尊贵不强，给的是寡妇而不是处女。

[Conditions of the Wife.] Now generally for the condition of the Wife, they are such as the Planet who describes the Wife doth import, and they according unto Ptolomey, from whom Leovitius, Pezelius, Schonerus, Garcaeus and Origanus doe borrow what they have in this judgment, viz. If ☽ apply unto ♄, he promiseth, when he is well affected, a Woman taciturne, grave, advised, sparing, laborious, &c. but if he be ill affected, the Woman proves troublesome, froward, suspicious, stubborne, envious, a meer droane, or very lazy.

（页边注：妻子的品性。）至于妻子的品性，总的说来，就照描述妻子的那颗行星所表示的；这些照托勒密所说（莱奥维提乌斯、佩策利乌斯、舍纳鲁斯、加尔凯乌斯与奥里加努斯在这一判断上的说法都借自他），即：若月亮入相于土星，土星处境好时，许以一个寡言、庄重、有主见、节俭、勤劳等等的女人；若他处境不好，这女人就麻烦、执拗、多疑、倔强、嫉妒，十足的懒虫，或很懒。

♃ well placed, intimates one very godly, mild, chaste, noble, honest, a good house keeper and huswife. If he is ill placed, she hath these vertues in her, but they are clouded, and she makes no shew of them, by reason of some blemish or other cast upon her.

木星处境好，表示一个很虔敬、温和、贞洁、高贵、正直的女子，善于持家，是好主妇。若他处境不好，她身上也有这些美德，但被遮蔽了，显不出来，因为有某种瑕疵或别的事落在她身上。

The ☽ applying unto ♂, and he well affected, shewes one very cordiall and hearty, a stout-hearted Wench, scorning to be too much in subjection, will endure no affronts or injuries, furious or angry, prone to revenge her selfe of any wrong offered her; would willingly wear the Breeches; when ill affected, she is quarrelsome, perverse, violent, a costly Dame, and proud, infamous, never quiet, a notorious turbulent woman.

月亮入相于火星，而他处境好，表示一个很热诚、真心的女子，一个心气刚强的姑娘，不屑于过分屈从，受不得冒犯或欺侮，暴烈易怒，有人冒犯她就要报复；很想穿裤子当家；处境不好时，她爱争吵、乖张、粗暴，花钱的主妇，骄傲，名声坏，从不安静，是个出了名的闹事女人。

When the ☽ applyes to ♀, and she is well constituted, it declares a faire, handsome Lady, pleasant, sweet in condition, urbane and civill, affable, vertuous: if she be ill qualified in dignities, then the Wife may be expected to be of contrary disposition to what preceds, viz. then she is arrogant, wastfull, talkative, a nice huswife, prodigall, a consumer of her Estate, &c. perhaps not too honest, &c.

月亮入相于金星，而金星处境好，表示一位美丽好看的女士，令人愉快，性情温柔，文雅有礼，和蔼，有德：若金星尊贵不佳，那就可预期妻子性情与前面相反，即傲慢、浪费、多嘴、讲究排场的主妇、挥霍、耗尽家产等等，也许还不太贞洁，等等。

The ☽ being in ☌ or applying to ☿, and he either strong in dignities Essentiall, or free from misfortune, points out an ingenious Dame, circumspect, pleasant and well spoken, carefull to provide for her Family, &c.

月亮与水星会合或入相于水星，而他必然尊贵强，或没有不幸，指出一位聪慧的女士，谨慎、令人愉快、能言善道、用心照料家人等等。

If he be ill dignified; then she is a pratler, a gossip, a lyar, speaking one thing and intending another, mutable, malitious, a twatling huswife, making discord where-ever she comes.

若他尊贵不好；她就是个饶舌的人、长舌妇、说谎者，说一套想一套，善变，心怀恶意，嚼舌的主妇，走到哪里就在哪里挑起不和。

The ☉ and ☽ herein have no manner of signification assigned them, I meane in the conditions of the Wife.

太阳与月亮在这件事上没有被指派任何意义，我是说在妻子的品性上。

The forme and shape of the Wife must be had or framed ac cording to the nature of the Planets and Signes in the Figure, of which we there spoke copiously.

妻子的形貌，必须按盘中行星与星座的本性来求得或拟出，这些我们在那里已经详细讲过了。

Aphorismes concerning the positure of ♀.

关于金星位置的警句。

IF ♀ be Orientall, and in Essentiall dignities, and ♃ in aspect with her, it Prenotes the Woman will be Master.

若金星东出，又在必然尊贵中，木星与她成相位，预示这女人会当家作主。

♀ in the second, argues the Native marries his Wife for Wealth.

金星在第二宫，主本命者为钱财娶妻。

♀ in the sixt, the Native marries a Wife of servile or low condition, &c.

金星在第六宫，本命者娶一个出身卑下、身份低微的妻子，等等。

♀ in the fourth, in □ or ☍ to ☽ in ♒, shewes the Wife to be light: if she be in ♋, it portends the Native will be much given to Lechery.

金星在第四宫，与水瓶的月亮四分或对冲，主妻子轻浮：若她在巨蟹，预示本命者很好色。

♀ in the seventh, the Native is long ere he marry, and will love Harlots.

金星在第七宫，本命者要很久才成婚，并且会爱娼妓。

♀ in the eleventh, the Native will cohabit with a Woman having Children.

金星在第十一宫，本命者会与一个带着孩子的女人同居。

♀ in the tenth, the Native marries a gallant noble soule; if in aspect with ♃ the more noble.

金星在第十宫，本命者娶一个气派高贵的人；若与木星成相位，更高贵。

♀ in the first with ♄, especially if in his owne house, or else in the house of ♀, renders the Native a Wife that is either dishonest, aged, or a very poor, sneaking Wife.

金星在第一宫与土星同在，尤其若在土星自己的庙，或在金星的庙，给本命者一个或不贞、或年老、或很穷而猥琐的妻子。

♀ joyned to ☿ in the fourth, or else in ☿ his house, ♄ posited in the tenth, portend the Native will marry a sordid Woman, or of no Quality: If she be at the same time in any aspect with ♂, she is strangely evill, and will be suspected of sorcery or poisons; in ♋ or ♑, it argues a Whore.

金星在第四宫与水星会合，或在水星的庙，土星在第十宫，预示本命者会娶一个卑污的女人，或没有身份的人：若她同时与火星成任何相位，她就格外坏，会被疑为施巫术或下毒；在巨蟹或摩羯，主是个娼妇。

☽ in the fourth, and ♀ with ♄ in the tenth, the Wife will have no Children, either by reason of age, or defect of nature.

月亮在第四宫，金星与土星同在第十宫，妻子不会有孩子，或因年纪，或因天生缺陷。

♀ in ☌ with ♄ and ♂ in the sixt, advise the Native to beware of Hornes.

金星在第六宫与土星、火星会合，劝本命者提防戴绿帽。

♀ and ♄ in ☌ in the seventh, shew the Native hath no faculty in, or is impotent to beget children.

金星与土星会合于第七宫，表示本命者没有生育子女的能力。

♀ in ☌ with ♄ ♃ ☿, gives laborious Wives, good Hous-wives, Women affectionately loving their Husbands.

金星与土星、木星、水星会合，给勤劳的妻子、好主妇、深爱丈夫的女人。

♂ with ♀ denote the Wife full of spirit, movable, an ill Huswife, prodigall, and that the Native is or will be an Adulterer.

火星与金星同在，表示妻子精力旺盛、好动，不善持家、挥霍，并表示本命者是或将是通奸者。

♄ mixing his aspect with ♀, encreases licentiousnesse, filthinesse, Immodesty. ♃ fairnesse, cleanlinesse, modesty. ☿ varies many times for good or ill, as dignified or unfortunate.

土星把他的相位掺进金星，增加放荡、污秽、不知羞耻。木星则增加美好、洁净、端庄。水星多变，随其尊贵或不幸而为善为恶。

[Riches of the wife.] Of Riches attending the Wife, or accrewing by her portion, herein you must consider those Planets whom I specified before, viz. who did behold the ☽ by any good aspect, or were in ☌ with her; for if those Planets be benevolent, and essentially fortified, they declare a rich and wealthy Wife, well descended, &c. if they be malevolent Planets and ill dignified, they argue the contrary.

（页边注：妻子的财富。）关于妻子带来的财富，或因她的嫁妆而增加的财富，这里要考虑我前面指出的那些行星，即以任何吉相位照月亮、或与她会合的行星；因为若那些行星是吉星，又有必然尊贵之力，就表示妻子富有、出身好等等；若是凶星而尊贵不佳，就表示相反。

Wherein I must give you this generall caution, viz. that you consider the quality and birth of the Native, before you rashly pronounce a noble Wife, or one well descended, for let us admit I have a Beggars Nativity to calculate, and that he hath ♃ in ♐, free from all manner of impediment, to signifie the Wife he shall marry; I shall then describe the person of ♃ and his conditions, but I will not say she shall be noble or gloriously borne, but wil frame this judgment, That he shall marry a Wife so qualified, &c.

这里我必须给你一个总的告诫，即在轻率宣称妻子高贵或出身好之前，要考虑本命者本人的品第与出身，因为假设我要算一个乞丐的本命，他有木星在射手，没有任何阻碍，代表他将娶的妻子；我就描述木星这个人及其品性，但我不会说她高贵或出身显赫，而会作这样的判断：他会娶一个具有这样品质的妻子，等等。

But one well descended, as unto his condition viz. perhaps she may be the Daughter of some Tradesman or Farmer, &c. and this unto him and his Beggery, is as if she were nobly borne, considering the difference betwixt a Beggar and a Farmer, and whereas being signified by ♃, shee ought to be rich, &c. without doubt a Wife so signified, shall have some pretty Portion from her Parents or Friends, and shall reduce this poor man and beggar, by this her Marriage, to a better kind of living or subsistence; for the Artist must not predict impossibilities, but to every one Quoad Capax, &c. but to our former purpose.

但就他的境况而言是出身好的，即她也许是某个手艺人或农夫的女儿等等，而这对他和他的乞丐身份来说，就如同她出身高贵一样，想想乞丐与农夫之间的差别；而且既然她由木星表示，就应当富有等等，无疑这样表示的妻子会从父母或朋友那里得到一份不错的嫁妆，并以这桩婚姻使这个穷人、乞丐过上较好的日子或生计；因为星占家不可预言不可能之事，而要对每个人「按其所能」，等等。但回到我们先前的话题。

Generally, the Fortunes, or either of them in the seventh, especially if strong, argue a wealthy Wife, and well descended: malevolent Planets in that house denote much trouble, if they be potent, perhaps the Wife may be rich, but withall ill conditioned.

一般说来，吉星（或两者之一）在第七宫，尤其若强，主妻子富有，出身好：凶星在那宫主多麻烦，若它们有力，妻子或许富有，但同时性情不好。

The Lord of the seventh in the tenth, or the Lord of the tenth in the seventh, promises a good Wife.

第七宫主在第十宫，或第十宫主在第七宫，许以好妻子。

Lord of the second in the seventh, or Lord of the seventh in the second, promises the same.

第二宫主在第七宫，或第七宫主在第二宫，也许以同样的事。

Lord of the twelft in the seventh, or Lord of the seventh in the twelft, usually predicts a poore Wife, ill bred, and of obscure Parents.

第十二宫主在第七宫，或第七宫主在第十二宫，通常预言妻子穷，教养差，父母默默无闻。

Lord of the seventh in the eighth, if he be a Fortune, argues a rich Wife, and borne to have an Inheritance very ample.

凶星在第七宫而很强，主随妻子而来财富，但得来不免有些丑闻或麻烦。

The Infortunes very imbecill in the seventh, notes Wives, or a Wife, very poore, of abject and sordid condition and birth.

凶星在第七宫而很弱，主妻子很穷，地位与出身卑贱低下。

The Lord of the seventh in the sixt or twelft, or on the contrary, the Lord of the sixt or twelft in the seventh, shewes the Wife to be either a servant, or very poorly borne.

第七宫主在第六或第十二宫，或反过来，第六或第十二宫主在第七宫，表示妻子或是仆人，或出身很贫寒。

It's not good for the Native that either ♄ or ♂ be in the seventh, unlesse the Fortunes doe aspect them, and be not cadent from the house, for ♄ doth cause sorrow and travell in the matter of Marriage, and ♂ doth shew their death and destruction before the Native.

土星或火星在第七宫对本命者不好，除非吉星照它们，而且吉星不与该宫不相照；因为土星在婚姻之事上带来忧伤与辛劳，火星则表示妻子先于本命者死亡与毁灭。

♀ in □ or ☍ of ☽ signifies prejudice by Marriage.

金星与月亮四分或对冲，主因婚姻受损。

♀ in the second, in an evill aspect of the malevolent Planets, declares detriment by reason of the Wife.

月亮为第七宫主而在第八宫，光亮渐亏，否定婚姻中有什么大幸福。
