卷三·第一百七十章　中天与太阳的小限到十二宫

Of the Profection of Mid-Heaven and the Sunne, and their Significations.

论中天与太阳的小限，及其意义。

When either the Signe culminating in the Radix, or wherein then the ☉ was, shall come to ascend in a Profectionall Revolution,the Native is then promised good fortune by his employments publick, by his Profession or Trade, or by some Office or service he shall performe for some great person ; however, it denotes dominion or soveraignty if he be but a petty Constable.

当根盘里上中天的星座，或太阳当时所在的星座，在小限回归里来到上升时，本命者就被许以借他的公职、他的职业或行业，或他为某位大人物所办的某个官职或差事而来的好运；无论如何，即使他只是个小小的治安官，它也表示统辖或主权。

When to the second house, it's intended the Native shall then receive the profits of his former yeers employment, and shall have in possession that reward which was but formerly promised him.

来到第二宫时，意味着本命者会收到他往年差事的收益，把先前只是许给他的酬劳拿到手。

When to the third house, the Native may expect but an indifferent condition of life : for in regard it's the sixt house from the tenth, it intends more ill then good, viz. the losse of Kinred, hatred of malicious Neighbours, or robbery in Journeying.

来到第三宫，本命者只能期待一般的生活境况：因为既然它是从第十宫数起的第六宫，它意味着凶多于吉，即失去亲族，恶意邻居的憎恨，或旅途遭抢。

When to the fourth house, the Native's fame and estimation is called in question, the Native and his Parents agree ill, and his Neighbours of more power then himselfe doe swell.

来到第四宫，本命者的名声与声望受到质疑，本命者与父母不睦，比他更有权势的邻居趾高气扬。

When to the fift, he that hath children, will much rejoyce with them ; he that hath none, inclines to be merry, jocund and wanton,to take his pleasure,spending more then he gets.

来到第五宫，有子女的人会与他们同享许多欢乐；没有子女的人，倾向快活、欢乐、放荡，随心取乐，花的比挣的多。

When to the sixt house,a convenient time and season to agitate certaine affaires belonging to his Family and to Husbandry ; but nothing succesfull to deale in matters or things honourable,in which matter nothing will that yeer succed well.

来到第六宫，是处理某些家务与农事的适当时机与季节；但处理体面之事，什么都不会成功，在这类事上那一年没有一件会顺利。

When to the seventh, then if the Native be capable, he may expect an augmentation of his esteem and repute in the world, he may then be in the favour of women of great account, but will be in danger to bury some of his Ancestors.

来到第七宫，那么本命者若有能力，可以期待他在世上的声望与名誉增加，那时他可能得到有地位的女人的青睐，但会有埋葬某些长辈之险。

When to the eighth, it produceth scandall and slander, cals his good name in question, inclines the Native to be melancholy, fearing misfortunes continually, because he is so subject to the malice and ill will of Enemies.

来到第八宫，它产生丑闻与诽谤，使他的好名声受到质疑，使本命者倾向忧郁，不断害怕不幸，因为他太容易受敌人的恶意与敌意所害。

When to the nnith, it intends long Journeys, not for pleasure onely, but to acquire honour and renown, or to visit some noble person, or to goe in his Company : the Native shall be much conversant either with Forreigners, or with men of another Country, or living a great distance from the place of his abode.

来到第九宫，它意味着长途旅行，不只为了消遣，而是为了获得荣誉与名望，或去拜访某位贵人，或随他同行：本命者会与外国人、或与别国的人、或住在离他居所很远之处的人多有往来。

When to the tenth,it promiseth a very succesfull and famous yeer, tending greatly to the Native's credit.

来到第十宫，它许诺非常成功而有名的一年，大大有助于本命者的信誉。

When to the eleventh, the Native hath great willingnesse to be kind to his friends, and is so ; he receiveth mutuall respects from his friends, augmenteth his number thereof, and liveth with great solace and joy.

来到第十一宫，本命者很乐意善待朋友，也确实如此；他得到朋友们相互的敬重，朋友的数目增加，生活得很舒心快乐。

When to the twelft, he receives detriment in his reputation, honour and fame, or shall lose that friendship he formerly had with Noblemen or Magistrates,only by envy, malice and backbiting slanders, and he may lose some of his Kinred.

来到第十二宫，他在声望、荣誉与名声上受损，或失去他先前与贵族或长官的友谊，只因嫉妒、恶意与背后中伤的诽谤，他还可能失去某些亲族。
