卷三·第一百五十三章　敌人的品类与势力

What manner of Enemies ? their Quality.

是什么样的敌人？他们的品类。

Herein you must observe the nature of the Planets who are either in the seventh or twelft;next,the Lords of the twelft and seventh houses, and those Planets (if any be) who are in ☍ to the Lights.

这里你要看落在第七或第十二宫的行星的本性；其次，第十二宫与第七宫之主，以及与两光对冲的行星（若有的话）。

Wherein you must consider those planets who are in the seventh, or in ☍ of the Luminaries, will discover their malice, and expresse it openly; he, or that, or those planets in the twelft, shewes such as will doe all things closely and cunningly, and imports close Backbiters : if it so happens the Lord of the eleventh, who naturally imports Friendship, be posited in the seventh, it's an argument such a person or persons shall be friendly at one time, not so at another :

其中你要考虑，在第七宫的、或对冲两光的行星，会显露敌人的恶意，并公开表现出来；在第十二宫的那颗或那些行星，显示的是凡事都暗中、狡猾去做的人，主暗中的毁谤者：若碰巧天然主友谊的第十一宫主落在第七宫，就表示这样的一个或几个人，时而友好，时而不然：

Friendly when any of the Hylegiacall places by Directions approach to a good aspect with him ; ill or unkind, when directed to a □ or ☍ : but on the contrary, it's usually observed, that if the Lord of the twelft be in the ascendant, the persons signified by that planet doe rather prove friends then enemies : The reason hereof I conceive to be,because the Lord of the ascendant doth dispose of him, and so restraines his malice.

当任何一个海勒格之位经推运走到与他成吉相位时就友好；推运到四分或对冲时，就作恶或不友善：但相反，通常观察到，若第十二宫主在上升，那颗行星所表示的人，与其说是敌人，不如说是朋友：我想其中的道理是，上升主星作他的定位星，从而约束了他的恶意。

The Prevalency of Enemies against the Native is thus judged.

敌人对本命者的势力，这样判断。

First, from the nature of the planets who prenote enemies.

第一，从预示敌人的那些行星的本性。

Secondly, from the house or houses of Heaven wherein they are posited.

第二，从它们所在的那一宫或几宫。

Thirdly, from the fortitude of them, by reason of their Essentiall Dignities.

第三，从它们因必然尊贵而有的强弱。

Benigne Planets argue powerfull Enemies, malignant Significators obscure and of no quality.

吉星主有权势的敌人，凶的征象星主默默无闻、无足轻重的敌人。

This is ever considerable, that either good or ill Planets being in angles and well fortified, shew powerfull enemies ; in succedant houses, men of a meaner condition ; in cadent, enemies of no quality.

这一点总是要考虑的：无论吉星凶星，在角宫而得力，显示有权势的敌人；在续宫，身份较低的人；在果宫，无足轻重的敌人。

After the same manner, the Significators posited in Essentiall dignities, declare the Enemies to be men of power.

同样，征象星在必然尊贵中，表示敌人是有权势的人。

If Peregrine, in their Detriments or Fals, obscure Enemies ; in their Triplicities or Termes or Faces, they argue the Enemies to be men of low fortune, or but men of meane condition.

若游离，在陷或在落，敌人默默无闻；在它们的三分性、界或面中，表示敌人运气低下，或只是身份平平的人。
