卷三·第一百四十章　远行的缘由

Cause of TRAVELL.

远行的原因。

FIrst, the causes moving to travell are taken from the Planets who are Significators of Journeys: Secondly, from the signification of the Houses in which the Planets are posited: I acquainted you before, the Planets signified Matters and Persons, wherefore if those Planets that design travell are conjoyned to ♄, or are in his essentiall Dignities, or if ♄ himselfe be Significator, he shewes the cause of Travell to proceed from Matters or men Saturnine, viz. as for matters either for discovery of some rich Mines, or recovery of some Inheritance befallen him by the Deceased, or some such Things or Commodities as are Saturnine. As for Men, Ancient men, grave, reverend Magistrates, Gentlemen or Merchants of ♄ his condition, &c.

第一，促使远行的原因取自作为远行征象星的行星：第二，取自这些行星所在宫位的意义：我先前已告诉过你，行星表示事物与人，所以若那些指示远行的行星与土星会合，或在他的必然尊贵中，或若土星自己就是征象星，他就表示远行的原因出于土星性的事物或人，即：就事物而言，或是为了发现某处富矿，或是为了追回某位死者留给他的遗产，或某些属土星的东西或货物。就人而言，是老年人、庄重可敬的官长、土星性情的绅士或商人，等等。

If ♃, he shewes the cause, it's for Religion, Honour, Law, Ecclesiasticall preferment, &c. or for, or by persons who administer such things, as Bishops, Church-men, Prelates, Noblemen, Judges, Gentlemen, &c. and so of the rest of the Planets, as specified in the secoud House.

若是木星，他表示原因是为了宗教、荣誉、法律、教会的升迁等等，或是为了、或是经由掌管这些事的人，如主教、教士、高级教士、贵族、法官、绅士等等；其余行星照此类推，如第二宫一节所列。

Next consider the signification of the Houses in which the Planets are posited, who declare Journeys; for if the Significators be in the first, a naturall desire of seeing strange Countries possesseth the Native: In the second, he travels with a desire to buy and sell, whereby he may enrich himselfe, &c. and so in the rest.

其次，考虑指示远行的行星所在宫位的意义；因为若征象星在第一宫，本命者心里天生就有看看异国的愿望：在第二宫，他远行是想做买卖，借此致富，等等；其余照此类推。

So that in few words, the cause of Travell appeares from the nature of the Significators, and naturall signification of the Houses wherein they are placed.

所以简单地说，远行的原因从征象星的本性及其所在宫位的自然意义显出。

HALY delivers these generall Aphorismes of the Lord of the ninth.

哈利传下这些论第九宫主的通则。

If the Lord of the ninth be in the ascendant, the Native will travell much: If he be in the second, he will gaine much by his Travels: in the third, he will cohabit with strange Women, and oft shift his place: In the fourth, his Parents will have some occult infirmnesse, and the Native will dye in his Travels: In the fift, he will have Children in another Country: In the sixt, he will gaine by his Slaves or Servants, and his Cattle, shall fall sick in his Travels: In the seventh, he will obtaine a good Wife, and she will be obedient (which is a good thing:) In the eighth, the Native will be greedy of procuring an Estate, and for that cause will journey beyond Seas, &c.

第九宫主若在上升，本命者会多远行：若在第二宫，他会因远行获利甚多：在第三宫，他会与外地女子同居，常换住处：在第四宫，他的父母会有某种隐疾，本命者会死在旅途中：在第五宫，他会在别国有子女：在第六宫，他会从奴仆与牲畜得利，又会在旅途中生病：在第七宫，他会娶得好妻子，而她会顺从（这是件好事）：在第八宫，本命者会贪于置产，因此远涉重洋，等等。
