卷三·第一百四十七章　尊荣能否持久

If the Dignity or Honour shall continue.

尊位或荣誉能否持久。

JUdgment herein is taken from the Planets who are in ☌ with the Lights, or partilly behold them, especially from the most powerfull.

这里的判断取自与两光会合或精确照看它们的行星，尤其是其中最有力的。

If these Planets be ♃ and ♀, and they strong, the Native shall perpetually encrease in Dignity, and it shall come and continue with ease and little labour.

若这些行星是木星与金星，而且它们强，本命者的尊位会不断增长，得来容易，持续也不费什么力气。

When the Fortunes are moderately afflicted, they intimate the Natives rising to Preferment by little and little, or by degrees, and that it shall continue, yet with some obstruction: if they prove but weake, Estimation or Honour shall endure for a time, and shall then decrease, but not quite vanish, or be for ever destroyed.

当吉星受到中等程度的侵害，表示本命者一点一点、逐步升迁，而且能持续，但会有些阻碍：若它们只是衰弱，名望或荣誉会维持一段时间，然后减少，但不会完全消失，或永远毁掉。

But where ♄ or ♂ are in ☌ with the Lights, or are in partill aspect, and happily placed in the heaven, it's without doubt the Natives Dignity will continue, but many times be in danger, and oft receive interruption.

但若土星或火星与两光会合，或成精确相位，又在天上位置良好，本命者的尊位无疑会持续，但常处于危险之中，也常受到中断。

If they be but meanly fortified or placed in the Heavens, the Natives Honour and Fame weares away by little and little, yet a glimpse thereof remaines.

若它们只是中等的强弱或位置，本命者的荣誉与名声会一点一点消磨，但仍会留下一线余光。

If they are very unlucky, the Honours they signifie shall soon vanish, and come to just nothing.

若它们极其不吉，它们所表示的荣誉会很快消失，化为乌有。

When ☿ hath signification in this nature, and aspects the Luminaries, Honours encrease in the beginning speedily, and do also continue for a while, but in the end he shall partake of great difficulty in preserving them, for ☿ is an unstable Planet.

当水星在这方面有意义，又照看两光时，荣誉起初增长迅速，也会持续一段时间，但最后他在保住荣誉上会遇到很大困难，因为水星是一颗不稳定的行星。

When he is moderately fortified, he threatens ruine; but yet the Native shall not fall totally, his Understanding shall preserve him.

当他有中等程度的力量时，他预示倾覆；但本命者不会完全跌倒，他的悟性会保住他。

When he is unhappily posited, and nothing well dignified, the Natives Honours shall for a time encrease, but end with much unluckinesse.

当他位置不佳，又毫无尊贵时，本命者的荣誉会增长一时，但以极大的不幸告终。

If no Planet behold the Lights, then assume the continuation of the Native's Dignity from the Planets or Planet in the midheaven, his nature and fortitude considered, or whether he be in his essentiall Dignity or not, &c.

若没有行星照看两光，就从位于中天的一颗或几颗行星来取本命者尊位的持久，考虑他的本性与力量，或他是否在其必然尊贵中，等等。

If no Planet be in the tenth house, then judge from the Lord of the tenth, who shall destinguish of the duration of Honour; without doubt, if the Lord of the tenth be in a fixed Signe, and the Signe it selfe be fixed, and if either ☉ or ☽, ♃ or ♀ have a friendly aspect either to the cusp of the tenth, or to the Lord thereof, the Preferment designed unto the Native will continue.

若第十宫没有行星，就从第十宫主来判断，由他来区分荣誉的长短；无疑，若第十宫主在固定星座，而那星座本身也是固定的，若太阳或月亮、木星或金星以友好的相位照看第十宫宫头或其主星，指定给本命者的升迁就会持续。

Speciall Aphorismes.

特别的金言。

Fixed starres in angles, especially the Hyades, Hercules, Cor ♏, Lanx Australis; the Infortunes casting their □ or ☍ unto them, whom such a positure raises from the Dunghill, they at last cast downe with a vengeance.

恒星在角宫，尤其是毕星团、赫拉克勒斯、天蝎之心、南秤盘，凶星又向它们投以四分或对冲，这样的位置把人从粪堆中抬起，最后却把他狠狠摔下。

When the ☉ is in ♎ or ♒, with good and ill Planets, or is single, and onely with or neer some fixed starre, then when the ☉ comes to an ill Direction, and meets with an ill Revolution, the Native shall prodigiously be throwne from his former perpetuall Dignity: but if one of these things alone happens, then he shall onely be cast downe for the present, but shall againe rise.

当太阳在天秤或水瓶，与吉星凶星同在，或独自一个，只与某颗恒星同在或相近，那么当太阳遇到凶的推运，又碰上凶的回归时，本命者会从他先前长久的尊位上惊人地跌落：但若这两件事只发生一件，他只是暂时被打下来，还会再起。

That King shall doe Justice equally amongst his people, when as his Nativity doth concurre with that of his people or Kingdome.

当国王的本命与他的人民或王国的本命相合时，这国王会在人民当中公平地施行正义。

The ☽ in mid-heaven in ♑, ♄ or ♂ in the fourth house, the Native will be infamous.

月亮在中天在摩羯，土星或火星在第四宫，本命者会声名狼藉。

If ☽ be in ♏ and ♂ in ♉, the Native will be infamous all dayes of his life, and be perpetually infortunate.

若月亮在天蝎而火星在金牛，本命者一生都会声名狼藉，而且永远不幸。
