卷三·第一百五十六章　暴死还是善终；推运的效应

Of Death, whether Violent or Naturall.

论死亡，暴死还是自然而死。

Arguments of a Violent Death.

暴死的论据。

Wherein you must consider, first,the ☉ and ☽ ; secondly, ♄ and ♂, and their Signes, which are called violent, viz. ♈ ♏ ♑ ♒ ♎, wherein ♄ hath more signification unto death, ♂ to the kinds thereof : thirdly, the eighth house and Lord thereof; fourthly, Lord of the Horoscope ; fiftly, the fixed Starres of the nature of ♂ and ♄, the principall whereof are Caput Medusæ in 21. ♉, Oculus ♉ in 4. ♊, Hercules 18. ♋, Right shoulder of Orion in 23. ♊, Cor ♏ in 4. ♐, Chelæ in 9. ♏.

这里你要考虑：第一，太阳与月亮；第二，土星与火星，以及它们的星座，这些星座称为凶暴星座，即白羊、天蝎、摩羯、水瓶、天秤，其中土星更主死亡本身，火星更主死亡的方式：第三，第八宫及其主星；第四，上升之主；第五，具有火星与土星性质的恒星，其中主要的是：美杜莎之首在金牛二十一度，金牛之眼在双子四度，赫拉克勒斯在巨蟹十八度，猎户的右肩在双子二十三度，天蝎之心在射手四度，螯在天蝎九度。

First, Both the Luminaries in violent Signes, not both in one Signe, but in divers which behold not one another, portend a violent death.

第一，两光都在凶暴星座，不是同在一个星座，而是在彼此不相照的不同星座，预示暴死。

The Lights are said to be in contiguous Signes when ☽ is in ♈ and ☉ in ♏, or the ☽ in ♒ and ☉ in ♑, and so in the others.

当月亮在白羊而太阳在天蝎，或月亮在水瓶而太阳在摩羯，其余照此，两光就称为在相接的星座。

Both the Luminaries with violent fixed Starres, and wethin the destance of five degrees, threatens violent Death : the ☽ with Cor ♏, ☉ with Oculus ♉, without doubt declares a violent death ; and then most certainly when the Lord of the ascendant and of the eighth is in ☌ to either of the Lights.

两光都与凶暴的恒星同在，相距五度以内，预示暴死：月亮会天蝎之心，太阳会金牛之眼，无疑表示暴死；而当上升主星与第八宫主与两光之一会合时，就最为确定。

These Rules then hold good, and take effect, When the Lord of the ascendant or of the eighth house is in ☌ with one of the Lights ; or when either the Sunne or Moon have dominion in the first or eighth Houses.

于是这些规则成立并应验：当上升主星或第八宫主与两光之一会合；或当太阳或月亮在第一或第八宫有主权时。

If either ☉ or ☽ be in violent Signes, and the other of the Lights with a violent fixed Soarre, it prenotes a violent death : but in this case it is necessary, that together with this configuration, One of the Infortunes infest either ☉ or ☽ or the Lord of the etghth.

若太阳或月亮之一在凶暴星座，另一光与凶暴的恒星同在，预示暴死：但在这种情形下，除了这一格局之外，还必须有一颗凶星侵害太阳或月亮或第八宫主。

Secondly, both the Luminaries udfortunated by ♄ and ♂ so that the one of the Lights, and one of the Infobtunes be in a violent Signe, or with a violent fixed Star, portend a violent death.

第二，两光都被土星与火星所害，以致一光与一凶星在凶暴星座，或与凶暴的恒星同在，预示暴死。

If both the Luminaries be afflicted onely of one of the Infortunes, the other Infortune being impedited or posited in a violent Signe, and having a Dignity in the eighth, it threatens violent death.

若两光只被一颗凶星所害，另一颗凶星受阻或落在凶暴星座，并在第八宫有尊贵，预示暴死。

The ☌ of ♄ and ♂ in angle, especially in the mid-heaven in a violent Signe, infesting one onely of the Lights.

土星与火星在角宫会合，尤其在中天、在凶暴星座，侵害两光中的一光。

The ☌ ☍ □ or mutuall aspect of the Infortunes in other Signes as well as in the violent, in angles notwithstanding, the one of them challenging power in the eighth, portends a violent death.

凶星的会合、对冲、四分或相互相位，不论在凶暴星座还是在别的星座，只要在角宫，其中一颗又在第八宫有权，预示暴死。

A malevolent Planet in the eighth, and the Lord of the eighth afflicted of an infortunate Planet by nature, who is in a violent Signe, both the Lights or either of them afflicted or in a violent Signe, portends violent death.

一颗凶星在第八宫，第八宫主被一颗本性为凶、在凶暴星座的行星侵害，两光或其一受害或在凶暴星座，预示暴死。

The Lord of the eighth in the ascendant, and in his Fall or Detriment, or in a violent Signe, or with a violent fixed Star, and one of the Lights infested of either of the malignant Planets.

第八宫主在上升，在落或陷，或在凶暴星座，或与凶暴的恒星同在，而两光之一受任一凶星侵害。

The Lord of the eighth in his Detriment or Fall, afflicted by one of the Infortunes, and together with this either of the Luminaries, or the other Infortune in a violent Signe, demonstrate violent death.

第八宫主在陷或落，受一颗凶星侵害，同时两光之一或另一颗凶星在凶暴星座，显示暴死。

The Lord of the first in a violent Signe, or infested of the malevolents, and the Dispositor of the Light of the time being also in a violent Signe or afflicted, intends violent death.

第一宫主在凶暴星座，或受凶星侵害，而当时之光的定位星也在凶暴星座或受害，意味暴死。

The Lord of the first in the eighth, being naturally an Infortune, and afflicted besides, &c. shewes violent death : But if he be not naturally a malevolent Planet, but is in a violent Signe, and impedited by the □ or ☍ of the Maleficals, it portends the same.

第一宫主在第八宫，本性为凶星，又受侵害等等，显示暴死：但若他本性不是凶星，而在凶暴星座，被凶星四分或对冲所阻，也预示同样的事。

The Lords of the eighth and first houses being the Dispositors of either Light, and either of them in their Detriment or Fall, and one of the Infortunes afflicting the other Light in a violent Signe, these shew a violent death.

第八宫主与第一宫主是两光的定位星，其中一颗在陷或落，又有一颗凶星在凶暴星座侵害另一光，这些显示暴死。

☽ in the seventh, in Signes where fixed Starres of violent nature are placed,viz. in ♉ ♊ ♋ ♐, and in □ or ☍ of ☉, or an ill Planet posited in the eighth, or having dominion therein,and both being in Signes violent, these are arguments of a violent death.

月亮在第七宫，在有凶暴恒星的星座，即金牛、双子、巨蟹、射手，与太阳四分或对冲，或有一颗凶星落在第八宫或在那里有主权，两者都在凶暴星座，这些是暴死的论据。

This generall exception, notwithstanding all the precedent rules, is to be admitted, though otherwayes you have full signification of a violent death, viz. If one of the Fortunes be in the ascendant, the other in the eighth, all feare of a sudden or violent death is taken away.

尽管有以上所有规则，仍要承认这一总的例外，即使其他方面完全显示暴死：若一颗吉星在上升，另一颗在第八宫，一切对猝死或暴死的担忧都可消除。

The manner or kind of a violent death.

暴死的方式或种类。

The signification hereof is taken from that Significator who doth most heavily afflict the Significators of Death,or hath principall authority and force in the places of the Significators of Death, viz. of the Luminaries, the Lord of the ascendant, Lord of the eighth, or of these houses, commixing with him the nature of the Signe, and sometimes of the house of Heaven in which he is posited.

这一点的意义，取自对死亡征象星侵害最重的那颗征象星，或在死亡征象星，即两光、上升主星、第八宫主之处，或在这些宫位握有主要权力与力量的那颗，把他所在星座的性质、有时还有他所在宫位的性质掺和进去。

♄ properly accordyng to his ewne nature, denotes death by Drowning Shipwrack, ruine of old Buildings, Poyson.

土星按他本来的性质，主溺死、船难、旧屋倒塌、毒物而死。

♂ by Fire, Iron, Thunder or Lightning, shot of Guns, stroke of Horses, both of them by some Fall from on high, or strangling.

火星主火、铁器、雷电、枪击、马踢而死，两者都主从高处坠落或窒息而死。

Nature of the Signes in this manner of Judgment.

这种判断中星座的性质。

Fiery Signes, ♈ ♌ ♐, by Fire, Thunder,Lightning, Gun-shot.

火象星座，白羊、狮子、射手，主火、雷、电、枪击而死。

Ayery, Fals from on high, Beheading, Strangling, Hanging.

风象，主从高处坠落、斩首、勒死、绞死。

Watry, Drowning.

水象，主溺死。

Earthly, by Raine, Casualty or Fals.

土象，主死于雨、意外或坠落。

Humaine Signes, denote death by a Man, as by Armes or Violence.

人形星座，表示死于人手，如兵器或暴力。

Poysonous Signes, by Poyson.

有毒的星座，主死于毒。

Nature of the Houses.

宫位的性质。

Tenth house, death by command of the Magistrate.

第十宫，死于官长之命。

Twelft, by Horses or great Cattle, or privy Murders.

第十二宫，死于马匹或大牲畜，或暗杀。

Sixt, by Servants, Slaves or Neighbours.

第六宫，死于仆人、奴隶或邻人之手。

Where two, three or more testimonies concur, be more confident ; as ♂ author of death, in a fiery Signe, the kinds of the death will be by Fire, Sword, &c.

若有两三个或更多见证相合，就更可确信；如火星为死亡之主，在火象星座，死的方式会是火、刀剑等等。

Of the quality of a violent Death.

论暴死的品类。

Many things are herein considerable, that so we may give our Judgment with more certainty : for we must first see,and judge whether the Native ought to dye by a violent Death yea or not.

这里有许多事须考虑，好让我们判断得更确实：因为首先我们要看、要断定本命者是否该死于暴死。

Secondly, we must consider the Manners of the Native,whether he is like to be a Theefe or a Murderer, or will become an Hereticke; for where wickednesse in Nativities appeares, then by the Significators of a violent Death, publique punishments are signified.

其次，要考虑本命者的品行，看他是否可能成为盗贼、杀人犯，或成为异端；因为本命盘里显出邪恶时，暴死的征象星所表示的就是公开的刑罚。

Thirdly, the condition of men is observable ; for Princes seldome or never dye as the vulgar, common man doth.

第三，要看人的身份；因为君王很少或从不像庸常百姓那样死去。

Ptolomey will have the quality of Death required ; first, from the nature of the malevolent Planet : secondly,from the Sign : thirdly, from the House in which the Infortune is in,who afflicts the Significator of Death and life, viz. the Luminaries and the Lords of the first and eight, the fixed Starres neer the Lights being considered.

托勒密要求死亡的品类：第一，从那颗凶星的本性；第二，从星座；第三，从那颗侵害死亡与生命征象星（即两光、第一宫主与第八宫主）的凶星所在的宫位去求，并考虑两光附近的恒星。

For more perfect judging of the Quality, and by what means a violent Death shall come, I have collected out of Schoner, Cardanus, Albubater, Haly, and others, from whom Origanus hath formerly done the like, such Aphorismes as they have found true by their experience.

为了更完善地判断暴死的品类与方式，我从舍纳、卡尔达诺、阿尔布巴特、哈利等人那里搜集了他们凭经验认为真实的警句，奥里加努斯以前也这样做过。

Rules concerning ♄.

关于土星的规则。

♄ in ♓, ☽ in ♍,or ♄ in a watery signe and ☽ in ☍ with him, shews the Native will dye by water, viz. be drowned, or else dye by drinking too much Wine.

土星在双鱼，月亮在处女，或土星在水象星座而月亮与他对冲，显示本命者会死于水，即溺死，或死于饮酒过度。

♄ in the seventh in ☍ to ☉ or ☽, Death by imprisonment,sluttishnesse, poyson, poverty, feare, torments, in a Dungeon, or by some violent fall, or in exile,&c.

土星在第七宫，对冲太阳或月亮，死于监禁、污秽、毒物、贫困、恐惧、折磨、在地牢中，或死于某种剧烈的坠落，或死于流放等等。

♄ Configurated to the ☽ in the constillation we call the Gubernacle of Jasons Ship Argos, and which agrees with ♋ ♌ and ♍, shewes the Native to be by shipwracke or tempest drowned.

土星在我们称为伊阿宋之船阿尔戈号之舵的星群里与月亮成相位，那星群与巨蟹、狮子、处女相应，显示本命者因船难或风暴而溺死。

☿ Joyned to ♄, or in aspect with him by □ or ☍ in an earthly Signe, argues the Native to perish by byting of some mad Dogge or Serpent, or to be strucke with some poysonous weapon. If ♀ have any aspect with ♄ and ☿, they posited as before ; it argues the Native ends his death by meanes of Women, or love potions.

水星与土星会合，或在土象星座与他成四分或对冲，主本命者死于疯狗或毒蛇咬伤，或被淬毒的兵器击中。若金星与土星、水星有任何相位，它们又照前述落位，主本命者因女人或春药而死。

♄ In ☌ with ☉ or in □ or ☍ of him in fixed Signes,many times denotes stoning to death, or suffocation by fire or water; sometimes beheading, death by a Gunne or great instrument, or hanging, or strangling,&c.

土星与太阳会合，或在固定星座与他四分或对冲，多次表示被石块砸死，或在火中、水中窒息；有时斩首，死于枪炮或大器械，或绞死，或勒死等等。

♄ In the tenth in ☍ to the Light of the time, being in an earthly Signe, Death by the fall of Houses ; if a watery Signe be in the fourth, by water.

土星在第十宫，对冲当时之光，在土象星座，死于房屋倒塌；若第四宫是水象星座，死于水。

♂ and ♄ in the twelfth, death or danger by great Beasts. ♄ and ♂ in the seventh in a common Signe, ☽ in ☍ to them ; death by a sudden Fall. ♄ in ♐ in the eight, death by fall from an horse. ♄ in the seventh with ☋ shews hanging. You must ever note, that a Benevolent Planet mittigateth these judgements.

火星与土星在第十二宫，死于大兽或有大兽之险。土星与火星在第七宫在双体星座，月亮与它们对冲；死于突然坠落。土星在射手在第八宫，死于坠马。土星与龙尾在第七宫，显示绞刑。你必须始终注意，一颗吉星会减轻这些判断。

Judgments and Aphorismes concerning Mars.

关于火星的判断与警句。

♂ in □ or ☍ of ☽ in humane Signes, the Native will dye either in a Tumult, in Warre or by his owne hands : ♂ in aspect with either of the Lights, as before, and in ☍ or □ of ♀, shewes, he will be slaine by Women ; with ☿ so posited in humane Signes, or aspected, killed by Theeves or Pyrats, and so come to a violent death : ♂ with the head of Medusa or Andromeda, signifie the Native to lose his Head ; if the aspect Lights, or one of them, be in the ninth, eleventh, fourth, it's apparent he will be hanged.

火星在人形星座与月亮四分或对冲，本命者会死于骚乱、战争或自己之手：火星照两光之一如上，又对冲或四分金星，显示他会被女人所杀；与水星这样落位于人形星座，或成相位，被盗贼或海盗所杀，从而横死：火星与美杜莎之首或仙女座同在，表示本命者会掉脑袋；若成相位的两光或其一在第九、第十一、第四宫，显然他会被绞死。

♂ in ♏ or ♐ so aspected of the Lights as mentioned, shewes death by Burnings, or Sections and Dissections of those Parts by Physitians or Chyrurgions.

火星在天蝎或射手，受两光如上所述的相照，显示死于灼烧，或死于医生或外科医生对那些部位的切割解剖。

♂ as beforesaid, in the tenth or fourth, especially with Cepheus or Andromeda, denotes Hanging or Torment by the Wheel, &c.

火星如上所述，在第十宫或第四宫，尤其与仙王座或仙女座同在，表示绞刑或车轮之刑等等。

♂ in the seventh, in fiery Signes, argues, Burning alive.

火星在第七宫，在火象星座，主活活烧死。

♂ in the seventh in ferall Signes, argues death by Distraction, or by Ruine, or fall of Timber or Houses, or from fals by Beasts or Horses.

火星在第七宫，在野性星座，主被撕裂而死，或死于倒塌、木料或房屋落下，或被野兽或马摔死。

In every of these significations, you must have one or both the Lights in configuration with him, or else the judgment is invalid.

在所有这些意义里，必须有一颗或两颗光与他成格局，否则判断无效。

Of the Lord of the ascendant.

论上升主星。

If the Lord of the ascendant or eighth, be in ☍ to the ascendant, the Native will dye violently.

若上升主星或第八宫主与上升对冲，本命者会横死。

If the Lord of the seventh or eighth be in the ninth, in an earthly Sign, and unfortunate therein, the Native will dye by some sudden mischance.

若第七或第八宫主在第九宫，在土象星座，并在那里不幸，本命者会死于某种突然的意外。

When the ☉ is joyned to the Lord of the ascendant in ♌, and ♂ hath no dominion in the ascendant, or any good Planet posited in the eighth, the Native dyes by Fire.

当太阳在狮子与上升主星会合，而火星在上升没有主权，或没有吉星落在第八宫，本命者死于火。

When the Lord of Death is joyned by Body to the Significator of Life, or to the Lord of the ascendant,or the ☽ joyned to the ☉ in ♌ or ♐, ♂ aspecting them, or the ☽ or ☉ joyned with a fixed Starre of the nature of ♂, the Native will be in danger of death by Fire ; if ♄ in the stead of ♂ behold the Lights, the Native will be suffocated with Smoak.

当死亡之主与生命征象星或上升主星本体会合，或月亮在狮子或射手会太阳，火星照它们，或月亮或太阳与火星性质的恒星同在，本命者会有死于火的危险；若是土星而不是火星照两光，本命者会被烟窒息。

If the Lord of the ascendant be unfortunated by ☉ or ♂, and the one of the eighth, it argues death by Fire.

若上升主星被太阳或火星所害，而其一是第八宫之主，主死于火。

Aphorismes of the Fixed Starres.

关于恒星的警句。

The ☉ with Caput Algol, in no aspect of a Fortune, or one posited in the eighth, the Dispositor of the Light of the time in ☍ of ♂ or in □, the Native will be Beheaded ; if the Luminary culminate, his Body will be either wounded or torne to pieces whilest he is yet living ; if ♂ be at this time in ♊ or ♓, his Hands or Feet will be cut off.

太阳与大陵五同在，不与吉星成任何相位，或没有吉星落在第八宫，当时之光的定位星与火星对冲或四分，本命者会被斩首；若那颗光在中天，他的身体会在活着时被刺伤或撕碎；若火星此时在双子或双鱼，他的手或脚会被砍掉。

If in the seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh or first house, ♂ be with Arcturus, and the ☽ with Hercules, the Native will dye by Suffocation : an Infortune in the seventh, fourth, eleventh, twelft houses, with Oculus ♉, and the ☽ with the Scorpions Heart, the Native will perish by some sudden thrust with a Sword or Dart, or by a sudden Fall, &c.

若在第七、第九、第十、第十一或第一宫，火星与大角同在，月亮与赫拉克勒斯同在，本命者会窒息而死：一颗凶星在第七、第四、第十一、第十二宫，与金牛之眼同在，月亮与天蝎之心同在，本命者会死于刀剑或标枪的突然一刺，或突然坠落等等。

If ♄ be with Cor ♏, and ☽ with Oculus ♉, the Native will be Hanged, or killed with the stroke of a Sword : say the same when ♂ is so posited.

若土星与天蝎之心同在，月亮与金牛之眼同在，本命者会被绞死，或被刀剑砍杀：火星如此落位时，同样说。

In whose Nativities an Infortune is with the head of Medusa, and the ☽ with the bright Starre in ♒, such shall dye by the command of their Prince a violent death, either by beheading or Hanging.

在本命盘里，一颗凶星与美杜莎之首同在，月亮与水瓶里的亮星同在，这种人会奉君王之命横死，或斩首或绞死。

If the Infortune be so posited, and the ☽ with Lucida Hydræ, the Native will perish by Water or Poyson. But it's ever considerable that the Infortune be angular ; the neerer to the cusp of mid-heaven, cusp of the ascendant or seventh, the more certainty of a violent death.

若凶星如此落位，而月亮与长蛇的亮星同在，本命者会死于水或毒：但始终要考虑凶星是否在角宫；它越靠近中天宫头、上升宫头或第七宫头，暴死就越确定。

Some are of Opinion, If the Infortune be in the eleventh, ninth or eighth, the same judgment will hold.

有些人认为，若凶星在第十一、第九或第八宫，同样的判断也成立。

If ☉ and ♂ be above the earth with the cadent Vultur,and the ☽ with the lesser Dog-starre, the Native will dye by the biting of a mad Dogge ; an Infortune with the Navill of Pegasus, and the ☽ with the furious Dog-star,the Native will dye by some fiery, cutting Weapon, or by hurt from Beasts.

若太阳与火星在地平线上，与下落之鹫同在，月亮与小犬星同在，本命者会死于疯狗咬伤；一颗凶星与飞马之脐同在，月亮与凶猛的犬星同在，本命者会死于某种灼热锋利的兵器，或伤于野兽。

An Infortune with the Navill of Pegasus, and the ☽ with the bright Starre of Lyra the Native will perish by some violent death.

一颗凶星与飞马之脐同在，月亮与天琴的亮星同在，本命者会以某种暴烈的方式死去。

An Infortune with the Back of Pegasus, and the ☽ with the Girdle of Orion, the Native will be Drowned: But when the ☽ is in the place of the Infortune, and he in hers, the Native will be killed by the hands of Men.

一颗凶星与飞马之背同在，月亮与猎户的腰带同在，本命者会溺死：但当月亮在凶星的位置、而凶星在她的位置，本命者会死于人手。

The ☽ with the Pleiades, and an Infortune with Cor Leonis, the Native will either lose one or both his Eyes.

月亮与昴星团同在，一颗凶星与狮子之心同在，本命者会失去一只或两只眼睛。

♂ with the Pleiades, and ♄ with Cor Leonis, the Native shall be slaine in a Tumult.

火星与昴星团同在，土星与狮子之心同在，本命者会在骚乱中被杀。

I might have recorded many other Aphorismes, but because without a serious mixture of judgment with the principall Significators, they doe not of themselves operate to such purposes as the Ancients have delivered ; which judgment resteth in the Brest of every Artificer, how to make a right understanding of them ; therefore I leave the care of wading further herein to the Student, assuring him, that those Aphorismes before recited are the most choycest I know my selfe, whereof I have found many of them verified in such Nativities as my selfe have judged.

我本可记下许多别的警句，但因为若不结合主要征象星认真判断，它们本身并不会产生古人所传的那些效果；而这种判断全在每位技艺之人心中，看他如何正确理解它们；所以我把再往深处涉足的事留给学生，并向他保证，以上所述的警句是我所知最精选的，其中许多我已在自己判过的本命盘里验证过。

If none of the beforenamed rules be apparent in the Geniture, it's an evident signe the Native shall dye a naturall death, by some Sicknesse or Disease; the quality whereof is taken from the nature of the Planet and Signe in the eighth house : where observe, that if many Planets be there, the strongest is to be preferred ; if no Planet be there, derive judgment from the Lord of the eighth, and Signe wherein he is :

若本命盘里上述规则一条也不显，那就明显表示本命者会自然而死，死于某种疾病；病的性质取自第八宫里的行星与星座的本性：须注意，若那里有多颗行星，取最强的；若那里没有行星，就从第八宫主及其所在星座来判断：

The Diseases belonging to every Planet, are mentioned in the judgments of the sixt house ; and for the time of death, it's onely in the hands of God, nor would I wish any Astrologer to be positive therein : you may alwayes import a danger of death,when you find the Apheta come to the hostill Beams of the killing Planet, or the more evill Directions the Significators meet with, the greater the danger is like to be, especially in a Climactericall yeer. Be not too bold, but ever modest, referring all to the divine providence of God.

每颗行星所主的疾病，已在第六宫的判断里提过；至于死亡的时间，那只在上帝手中，我也不希望任何星占家在这上面下断言：当你发现释放星走到杀星的敌意光线，或征象星遇到的凶推运越多，危险就可能越大，尤其在关口之年，你总可以说有死亡的危险。不可太大胆，要始终谦逊，把一切归于上帝神圣的眷顾。

THE EFFECTS OF DIRECTIONS.

推运的效应。

[Direction wherefore.] The whole Art of Directions is copiously handled by Regiomontanus, Maginus, Leovitius, Manginus, Zobolus,&c. but most exquisitely by Argolus, in his Primum Mobile, unto whom Posterity must acknowledge themselves exceedingly obliged : It is very true, that before Regiomontanus did frame Tables, Antiquity was much perplexed in directing a Significator which was not upon the cusps of the House, by reason they had no exact method for finding out the true circle of position of any Planet, when elongated from the cusps of a house : they did then direct either by the Tables of Houses fitted for the latitude where the Native was born,or by the Diurnall and Nocturnall Horary times, a laborious difficult and obscure way : yet the onely Method Ptolomey left, which is mentioned by Origanus, pag. 391. and Argolus, pag. 283. of his Introduction to his Ephemerides, and Maginus, in Canon 55. of his Primum Mobile ;

（页边注：为何推运。）推运之术，雷乔蒙塔努斯、马吉尼、莱奥维提乌斯、曼吉努斯、佐博卢斯等人都已详尽论述，但讲得最精妙的是阿尔戈利，在他的《第一原动天》中，后人必须承认受惠于他极多：确实，在雷乔蒙塔努斯编制表之前，古人推一颗不在宫头上的征象星时十分困惑，因为行星离开宫头时，他们没有精确的方法求出任何行星真正的位置圈：他们那时要么用为本命者出生地纬度编制的宫位表来推，要么用昼夜的时辰，这是一种费力、困难而晦涩的方法；然而这是托勒密留下的唯一方法，奥里加努斯第三百九十一页、阿尔戈利在他星历引论第二百八十三页、马吉尼在他《第一原动天》第五十五条规则里都提到过；

Pezelius, fol. 186. Garcæus, 449. Junctinus, pag. 391. lib. prim. At this day we use no method in Directions but Argolus, which is generally approved of in all parts of Europe as most rationall. The Art of Direction being onely to find out in what space of time the Significator shall meet with his Promittor ; or in more plaine termes, When, and at what time, or in what yeer such or such an accident shall come to passe, viz. In what yeer Preferment ; When Marriage ; When Travell ; When encrease of Estate, &c.

佩策利乌斯第一百八十六叶，加尔凯乌斯第四百四十九页，尤恩提努斯第一卷第三百九十一页。如今我们推运只用阿尔戈利的方法，它作为最合理的方法在欧洲各地普遍受到认可。推运之术只是求出征象星要过多少时间与它的允诺星相遇；说得更明白些，就是何时、何年会发生某件事，即哪一年擢升，何时结婚，何时远行，何时增产等等。

The generall judgment upon any Nativity informes us, by the consideration of the twelve houses, what the generall fortune of the Native may be in the whole course of his life, but the Art of Direction measures out the time into Yeers, Moneths, Weeks and Dayes, informing us beforehand when we may expect in particular, what is generally promised us in the Root of the Nativity ; and although many times it pleases God that we doe not hit the mark aright, as to poynt of time, When ; yet verily I impute the errour not to the Art, but to the idlenesse or insufficiency of the Artist, who not rectifying the Nativity exactly before he framed his Directions, doth in his annuall judgment (Errare toto Cælo ; ) for indeed it is the most difficult learning of all Astrologie, to verifie the ascendant, as I have found by my frequent experience ; for if we faile two or three degrees in the ascendant (as we may well do) through humane frailty, then, I say, the Accidents signified thereby must come so many yeers sooner or later, &c. and so when the degrees of mid-heaven are not right.

对任何本命盘的总体判断，通过考察十二宫，告诉我们本命者一生的总体运势如何，而推运之术则把时间量成年、月、周、日，预先告诉我们，根盘里总体许给我们的东西，具体何时可以期待；虽然很多时候，上帝乐意让我们在「何时」这一点上没有射中靶心，但我确实把这错误归于技艺之人的懒惰或不足，而不归于技艺本身；他在编排推运之前没有精确校正本命盘，于是在逐年的判断中「错了一整个天」；因为校准上升确实是整个星占学中最难的学问，这我在频繁的经验中已经发现；因为若我们在上升上差了两三度（由于人的弱点，我们很可能这样），那么我说，由此所表示的事就必定早或晚这么多年等等；中天的度数不对时也是如此。

[The effects of Directions.] Who desire to be expert in Directions, let them repaire unto the Authors above mentioned, it being no part of my task at this time : I will now deliver the Effects of Directions,viz. What manner of Accidents the Native may expect, upon his good or evill Directions ; and what every one of the Hylegiacall places signifie, and how made use of, what every Planet signifieth of himselfe, what by Accident.

（页边注：推运的效应。）想精通推运的人，请去找上面提到的作者，这一次不是我的任务：我现在要讲推运的效应，即本命者在他的吉推运或凶推运上可以预期什么样的事；每个海勒格之位表示什么、如何使用，每颗行星本身表示什么、因偶然表示什么。

In the first place therefore, we must consider whether the Direction we would judge of, be good or evill ; which is knowne easily by the good or evill aspects.

首先，我们必须考虑我们要判断的推运是吉是凶；这由吉相位或凶相位很容易知道。

Secondly, a good Direction and a fortunate one, gives Prosperity and Fortune, such as the Significator of the Direction doth signifie and intimate of himselfe, shall come to passe in such or such things, or from such or such persons ; which he signifies by Accident, viz. by reason of the house in which he is constituted, or of what house he is Lord of in the Root of the Nativity.

其次，吉而有福的推运给人兴旺与福运，即推运的征象星本身所表示、所暗示的那些事会实现，在某些事情上，或来自某些人；这是他因偶然所表示的，即因他在根盘中所在的宫位，或他所主的宫位。

Thirdly, the cause of the Felicity is declared from the Promittor, according to the same manner as is mentioned of the Significator, by himselfe and by Accident ; afterwards from the house of Heaven wherein the Direction doth meet,viz. in what house the degree of the Promittor doth happen.

第三，福祉的原因由允诺星来说明，照对征象星所说的同样方式，看它本身与因偶然的意义；再看推运相遇所在的宫位，即允诺星的度数落在哪一宫。

Fourthly, an evill Direction portends adverse Fortune in such things which the Significator of himselfe and by Accident doth signifie.

第四，凶推运预示在征象星本身与因偶然所表示的那些事上运势不顺。

Fiftly, the originall cause of the Infelicity shall arise from the Men and Matters which the Promittor of that Direction doth signifie of himselfe and by Accident, consideration had to the house in which the occurse doth happen.

第五，不幸的根源出自该推运的允诺星本身与因偶然所表示的人与事，并考虑相遇发生所在的宫位。

[What Place, what Planets directed, and for what.] We doe usually direct these Places and Planets, in number five, and they shall signifie either Matter or Person.

（页边注：推哪些位置、哪些行星，为何而推。）我们通常推这些位置与行星，共五个，它们或表示事物，或表示人。

First, the Horoscope, or ascendant, we direct in every Nativity, for that it signifieth the Life and Body of man, his Complexion, the Affections and Manners of his Body and Mind : If he come to benevolent Directions, he signifieth prosperity both of Body and Mind, the Native's Health, Cheerfulnesse, and all manner of earthly Contents : But if the ascendant have progresse to contrary Directions, viz. to the Termes or unfortunate aspects of the malevolent Planets, or accidentally unto the evill aspects of the Lords of the sixt,twelft and eighth houses, then evill is to be expected.

第一，上升，我们在每个本命盘里都推它，因为它表示人的生命与身体、他的气色、他身心的情感与习性：若它走到吉推运，表示身心两方面的兴旺，本命者的健康、愉快与一切世间的满足：但若上升推进到相反的推运，即走到凶星的界或凶相位，或因偶然走到第六、第十二与第八宫主的凶相位，就要预期灾祸。

Secondly, we direct the ☽, in regard she signifies the Complexion of the Body, and its Intentions, the Natives Journeys, Peregrinations, his Matrimony, the state of his Wife, Women and neer Kinsfolkes.

第二，我们推月亮，因为她表示身体的气色及其意向，本命者的行旅、游历，他的婚姻，他妻子的状况，妇女与近亲。

Thirdly, the Directions of the ☉ are made especially, concerning the Native's good or bad Health, his Honour or Preferment publick or private,the favour of great Persons, the state of his Father, and his Estimation.

第三，太阳的推运专门为本命者健康好坏、他公私的荣誉与擢升、大人物的恩宠、他父亲的状况与他的声望而作。

Fourthly, medium-cæli we direct for Honour, Offices in the Common-wealth, the friendship of Nobility, Kings and Magistrates, for the Magistery, Trade or Profession of the Native, for his Mother.

第四，我们推中天，为荣誉、国家中的官职、贵族国王与官长的友谊、本命者的职业、手艺或行当，以及他的母亲。

Fiftly, ⊗ being directed to the good or evill aspects of the Fortunes or Infortunes shewes the encrease or diminution of Riches : And there are some will have, that its Directions doe signifie the affects of the Body ; of which I have no beliefe ; the same thing the Dispositor of the ⊗ shall signifie : It may be directed according to succession of Signes, and contrary, but the best Practisers doe it onely according to succession.

第五，福点推到吉星或凶星的吉相位或凶相位，显示财富的增减：有些人还认为它的推运表示身体的感受，对此我不相信；福点的定位星也表示同样的事：它可以顺星座次序推，也可以逆推，但最好的实践者只顺次序推。

[It's not usuall to direct but the former five.] Sixtly, you may direct ♄ to signifie your Ancestors, Inheritances, Buildings, Possessions, the Fruits of the earth ; so also, Fears,Jealousies,Mistrusts,&c. according as ♄ is well or ill affected.

（页边注：通常只推前五个。）第六，你可以推土星，以表示你的祖先、遗产、建筑、产业、地上的出产；以及恐惧、猜忌、疑虑等等，视土星处境好坏而定。

Seventhly, we direct ♃ for Glory, Renowne, Riches,Children, Religion, Sobriety, &c.

第七，我们推木星，为荣耀、名声、财富、子女、宗教、节制等等。

Eighthly, ♂ is directed for Animosity, Victory, War, Lawsuits, and he shewes the estate of Brethren.

第八，推火星为敌意、胜利、战争、诉讼，他也显示兄弟的境况。

Ninthly, ♀ is directed for Matrimony, Love, Pleasure,rich Ornaments, Maids, Women, &c.

第九，推金星为婚姻、爱情、快乐、贵重饰物、少女、妇女等等。

Tenthly, we direct ☿ for the Wit, Understanding, Trade, Industry, Negotions, Journeys, our lesser Brethren, for Schollership, History, &c.

第十，我们推水星，为才智、悟性、行当、勤勉、交涉、行旅、我们的弟弟们，为学业、历史等等。

The Planets do signifie these things properly of themselves in Directions, in what Nativity soever they be, or in what part of Heaven; but accidentally, they have signification according to the nature of the Houses they are in,and are Lords of: by considering whereof, you shall find the true intention of what is signified by the Direction.

行星在推运中本身就表示这些事，不论在什么本命盘里、在天上什么位置；但因偶然，它们按所在宫位与所主宫位的性质而有意义：考虑这些，你就会找到推运所表示的真正意向。
