卷三·第一百四十六章　尊荣的性质与来由

What manner of Preferment, or its quality and cause.

升迁属何种类，或其性质与来由。

THis judgment is taken from the Planet or Planets, partilly aspecting the Luminaries, but especially the Light who of the two is most essentially fortified in the Scheame of Heaven: In consideration hereof, it's remarkable what matters, what manner of persons they signifie, and from the propiety of the matters and persons, a discreet conjecture must be framed according to the plurality of testimonies.

这一判断取自与两光成精确相位的一颗或几颗行星，但尤其取自两光中在天象盘里必然尊贵最强的那一颗：考虑这一点时，要留意它们表示什么事、什么样的人，再从这些事与人的特性，按见证的多数，作出审慎的推测。

♄ being that Planet who shall be found most strong and powerfull, and beholding the Lights, argues Preferment by reason of Inheritances, Possessions, Favour, &c. by meanes and procurement of Elderly men, Ancestors, Men sparing and frugall, Country men, plaine and nothing courtly.

若土星是那颗最强最有力、又照看两光的行星，主因遗产、产业、恩宠等等而升迁，经由老年人、祖辈、节俭的人、乡下人、朴实而毫无宫廷气的人的手段与促成。

♃ and ♀ argues Honour for Vertues sake, the Native's Honesty, Gravity, Justice, and by persons signified by ♃ and ♀: of which you may be plentifully informed upon the judgments of the second house.

木星与金星主因德行而得荣誉，即本命者的诚实、庄重、公正，并经由木星与金星所表示的人：这些你可以在第二宫的判断中得到详尽的说明。

♂ induces preferment by expedition to the Warres, leading and conducting Armies by Victories, valiant Actions and Commendations of Martiall men, &c.

火星引致升迁，是通过从军出征、率领统带军队、凭胜仗、英勇的行动以及军人的称赞等等。

☿ predicts Dignity and Advancement by Wit, Judgment, Oratory, Learning, by Merchants, Schollers, Lawyers, &c.

水星预示凭机智、判断、口才、学问而得尊位与晋升，经由商人、学者、律师等等。

After this, the house of Heaven is considerable, out of which the Planet or Planets doe behold the Lights, and herein that Planet is most observable who is best fortified; for if that Planet be in the first house, the Native acquires Fame and Dignity by his own industry: In the second, for the cause of his Riches, and so in the rest of the Houses: you must mix the signification of the Houses with the Planets that aspect either the one or both Luminaries, and from them draw judgment.

此后，要考虑那一颗或几颗行星照看两光时所在的天宫，这里最值得注意的是最有力的那颗行星；因为若那颗行星在第一宫，本命者凭自己的勤勉获得名声与尊位：在第二宫，是因他的财富之故，其余各宫照此类推：你必须把宫的意义与照看一颗或两颗光体的行星混合，从中得出判断。

If no Planet doth behold the Lights with aspect, or be partilly joyned with either of them, consider then the Planets constituted in the tenth, amongst them the most powerfull, if many Planets be therein; according to the Matters and Persons comprehended by him, frame your judgment, and the cause of the Native's arising to Dignity.

若没有行星以相位照看两光，或与其中之一精确会合，就看位于第十宫的行星，若其中有许多行星，就取最有力的，按他所包含的事与人，构想你的判断，以及本命者升到尊位的原因。

If no Planet shall possesse the tenth, have recourse to the Lord of the tenth, and according to his propriety conjecture the causes of his future Dignity; herein also commix the signification of the house of Heaven wherein he is.

若没有行星占据第十宫，就求助于第十宫主，按他的特性推测他将来尊位的原因；这里也要混合他所在天宫的意义。

There are some, and they not unlearned, that together with the Lord of the tenth, doe commix in judgment the Dispositor of that Luminary who is above the Earth, or if not above the Earth, then of that Light who beholds the Lord of the tenth or tenth house it selfe with the most partill aspect.

有些人，而且并非没有学问的人，在判断中把第十宫主与在地平之上那颗光体的定位星混合，若那颗光不在地平之上，就取以最精确的相位照看第十宫主或第十宫本身的那颗光体的定位星。
