卷三·第一百六十一章　中天推运到恒星

The Mid-heaven Directed to Fixed Starres.

中天推运到恒星。

To the Goat, in 16.33. ♊; and the heart of the Scorpion, in 4.30. ♐.

推到山羊，在双子十六度三十三分；以及天蝎之心，在射手四度三十分。

The Native is like to enjoy much society either wih Souldiers or Religious, or both; their Acquaintance may produce him Honour, but little Profit; for he will waste much Money in the exercise of Armes, and be very inclinable thereunto; whereupon he is like to have Military command by, or from Joviall or Religious persons, or he may have authority or preferment at Sea amongst Saylors, and therefore much envied: these Preferments which come by the influence of the fixed Starres alone, doe seldome continue without a sudden change.

本命者多半会与军人或宗教中人交往，或两者都有；结交他们能给他带来荣誉，但利益很少；因为他会在习武用兵上花掉许多钱，而且很倾向于此；因此他可能借木星型的人或宗教中人之力，或由他们授予军中的指挥权，或者在海上、在水手当中得到职权或升迁，因而大遭嫉妒：这些单凭恒星的影响得来的升迁，很少能持续而不发生骤变。

To the right shoulder of Orion, ut supra.

推到猎户的右肩，位置如上。

Wholly inclined and taken up in Martiall affaires, with so great art, judgment and dexterity of Conception, that he will find out many admirable Stratagems; by meanes whereof, he doth rise to an high esteem amongst Souldiers and witty men, and therein shall have the chiefest praise; it inclines the Native to frame rare Engines for War; as also, for any other matter.

本命者全心投入、整个人都被军务占据，有那样高的技艺、判断与构思的灵巧，能想出许多绝妙的计谋；凭着这些，他在军人与有才智的人当中声望很高，在这方面得到最大的称赞；它使本命者倾向于制造精巧的战争器械；也倾向于制造其他任何东西。

To the Buls eye, in 4.39. ♊.

推到金牛之眼，在双子四度三十九分。

It converts the Native's hard fortune into better, and contributes largely for the Natives advantage, by meanes of Souldiers and Women: it inclines the Native to ingenious Practises, whereby he procures unto himselfe Preferment and Wealth.

它把本命者的厄运转为好运，借军人与女人之力，大大促成本命者的利益：它使本命者倾向于机巧的营生，他由此为自己谋得升迁与财富。

To the left shoulder of Orion in 15.40. ♊.

推到猎户的左肩，在双子十五度四十分。

It produceth many Calamities and Wranglings, he shall fall into the Hate and cunning snares of his Adversaries, and unlesse he handle his affaires wisely, will be in danger of imprisonment, by the accusations and sinister aspects of Secretaries, Atturneys, &c. receive Punishment and Infamy for forging or counterfeiting Writings, or clipping Coyne, or by meanes of false and dissembling, suggested Witnesses, or sinister Informations.

它带来许多灾祸与争吵，他会落入对头的仇恨与狡猾的圈套，除非他明智地处理自己的事务，否则会有坐牢之险，因文书、律师等人的控告与不利的照看而受惩罚、蒙羞，罪名是伪造或篡改文书，或剪削钱币，或由于虚伪做作、受人唆使的证人，或阴险的告密。

To Rigel, or the left foot of Orion, in 11.34. ♊.

推到参宿七，即猎户的左脚，在双子十一度三十四分。

By command of some grave Prince, the Native is instituted the Leader or Conductor of an Army, or of Souldiers, his Manners become sharp, angry or testy, fearlesse, imperious, magnanimous, it may afford him (if not capable of Warfare) preferment from the Church, very gainfull, which notwithstanding will much crush and weary his Body with the infinite toyle and labour thereof; so that it denotes his Honour or Command to be burthensome, and not worth acceptance.

奉某位庄重君主之命，本命者被立为一支军队或一队军人的首领或统领，他的举止变得尖刻、易怒或暴躁，无所畏惧、专横、气度宏大，它可能（若他不能打仗）让他从教会得到升迁，收益很大，但其中无穷的辛劳会把他的身体压垮累坏；所以它表示他的荣誉或指挥权是重担，不值得接受。

To Canopus in 8.48. ♋; or to the doubling of the taile of the Goat, in 18.32. ♒.

推到老人星，在巨蟹八度四十八分；或推到山羊尾巴的折弯处，在水瓶十八度三十二分。

It promiseth, by procurement of some ancient Clergy-man or Gentleman, ample Dignity or Authority, with very great applause, glory and fame, abundance of Wealth, &c.

它许诺借某位年长的教士或绅士之力，得到丰厚的尊位或权柄，伴随极大的赞誉、荣耀与名声、大量的财富，等等。

To the Lyons heart, in 24. ♌; greater Dog-star, in 8.53. ♋; Arcturus, in 18. ♎.

推到狮子之心，在狮子二十四度；大犬星，在巨蟹八度五十三分；大角，在天秤十八度。

It insinuates a power over the people by authority of some great Prince, or an Office in the nature of a Treasurer, or Receiver of Customes, or a Governour of a Town, Fort or Castle; an Overseer or Directer of Workmen concerning the Conduct of Water, Conduit pipes, or a Surveyor of Works, Buildings, &c. In all which it's probable the Native encreaseth his Estate, and augments his Reputation: This Direction intends employment in abundance from the Nobility and Gentry, or from eminent Persons, and the performance of what he undertakes with great honour and fame.

它暗示凭某位大君主的授权而掌管民众的权力，或一个司库性质的官职，或关税的收税官，或一座城镇、要塞或城堡的总督；管水道、水管的工头或监督，或工程、建筑等的总监。在所有这些职位上，本命者很可能增加他的产业，提高他的声望：这一推运意指从贵族与士绅、或从显要人物那里得到大量差事，并以极大的荣誉与名声完成他所承担的事。

To the Virgins Spike, in 18. ♎.

推到处女之穗，在天秤十八度。

Unexpectedly Honour or Preferment is conferred on the Native beyond his hopes or capacity, and many times it affords power of life and death over others: most Astrologians doe hold the mid-heaven directed to the Virgins Spike, to signifie Church preferment; but it must act according to the Birth or capacity of the Native, and somewhat it will effect, even amongst vulgar persons, viz. in that yeer a Clowne shall get much by taking the Tyth of the Parson.

出乎意料地，荣誉或升迁降到本命者身上，超出他的期望或才具，而且常常给他对别人的生杀之权：多数星占家认为中天推到处女之穗，表示教会的升迁；但它必须按本命者的出身或才具来起作用，即使在平民中间它也会起些作用，比如那一年一个乡下人会靠承包牧师的什一税而赚很多。

To the Pleiades, in 24.20. ♉.

推到昴星团，在金牛二十四度二十分。

It violently thrusts the Native into troublesome, pernicious and dangerous Businesses, Wranglings and Controversies, occasioned by Women; it occasions sudden and unexpected Quarels and rash Actions; sometimes Murders or Stabs, Imprisonment, &c. It doth also portend in some Genitures sudden preferment, but an unlucky end thereof: This is to be understood, where in the Radix the Nativity is unfortunate.

它猛然把本命者推入麻烦、有害而危险的事务、争吵与纠纷之中，起因是女人；它引起突然而意外的争吵与鲁莽的行动；有时是凶杀或刺伤、坐牢，等等。在某些本命里它也预示突然的升迁，但结局不幸：这要理解为本命盘在根盘里本身不吉的情形。

To the head of Algol, in 20. ♉.

推到大陵五之首，在金牛二十度。

It perplexes and casts the Native into extreame danger by reason of Murder, Man-slaughter, or the sudden death of some one or other, the Native being either author or assistant, it endangers his Head: if other Directions concurre in good, it gives the Native power of putting others to death; but I ever found it an ill Direction, even in mean mens Genitures.

它使本命者困惑不安，陷于极大的危险，原因是谋杀、杀人，或某个人的突然死亡，本命者或是主犯，或是从犯，它危及他的头颅：若其他推运同时吉利，它给本命者处死他人之权；但我总发现它是一个凶的推运，即使在卑微之人的本命里也是如此。
