卷三·第一百七十二章　论回归：起盘与判断

Of Revolutions.

论回归。

The Ancients have excogitated many and sundry wayes for to find out the true time, or the exact Revolution or returne of the ☉ to any certaine poynt or degree and minute of the Zodiack wherein he was at the beginning of any manner of thing, be it Nativity, &c. so that a Revolution or annuall Conversion is no other then the returne of the ☉ to that very poynt wherein at the Radix of any Nativity or matter he was. Herein we must be carefull in the Radix of a Nativity to supputate the motion of the ☉ punctually to the hour of the Birth, for the mistake of one minute in the ☉ his motion, will beget 24. minutes errour in time.

古人想出了许多种不同的办法，来求得真正的时刻，即太阳确切回归、回到黄道上某一点某一度某一分的时刻——那是任何一件事开始时他所在之处，无论是本命还是别的；所以回归，或说一年一度的转回，不过就是太阳回到他在某个本命或某件事的根盘中所在的那一点。这里我们必须小心，在本命根盘里把太阳的运行准确推算到出生的时刻，因为太阳的运行差一分，时间就会差二十四分。

[To set a Revolution.] To perform the work you must do thus ; enter the Ephemerides of that yeer whose Revolution you would set,seek the place of the ☉ the next lesse to that in the Radix, and substract from the place of the ☉ in the Radix, the place of the ☉ the day of the Revolution,and so shall you see what minutes you want to make those adhering to the ☉ at the day of the Revolution equall to those in the Radix, then take the diurnall motion of the ☉, convert those minutes which are wanting in the place of the ☉ at noon the day of the Revolution into seconds,and resolve twenty four hours into minutes, and multiply those seconds by them, and divide the Product by the diurnall motion of the ☉ converted into seconds, and so shall you have the hour and minute when the ☉ in the Revolution comes to the true place of the Radix. Maginus teacheth a farre more easie way in pag. 251. of his Epemerides ; so Argoll in 424. of his Introduction in his Ephemerides

（起回归盘之法。）做法如下：查你要起回归盘的那一年的星历，找出比根盘中太阳位置略小的那个太阳位置，用根盘中太阳的位置减去回归那天太阳的位置，这样你就看出还差多少分，才能使回归那天太阳所附的分数与根盘中的相等；然后取太阳的日行，把回归那天正午太阳位置所差的分数化成秒，把二十四小时化成分，用它乘那些秒数，再用化成秒的太阳日行去除乘积，就得到回归中太阳到达根盘真实位置的时与分。马吉尼在他星历的第二百五十一页教了一种简便得多的方法；阿尔戈尔在他星历所附的《入门》第四百二十四页也是。

A figure of the Revolution of the ☉ to his true place in the Radix,for the thirty one yeer currant of our Native by the method of Maginus.

太阳回到根盘中真实位置的回归盘，为我们这位本命者正在行进的第三十一年而起，用马吉尼的方法。

In Origanus his Ephe meris, whom I followed in the Radix of our Nativity,I find the 19 of September 1646. the ☉ at noon to be in 6. 12 of ♎, I substract it from the ☉ his place at the Radix.

在奥里加努斯的星历里（我起本命根盘时依的就是他），我查到一六四六年九月十九日正午太阳在天秤六度十二分，我用根盘中太阳的位置减去它。

Place of the ☉ in the Radix 6. 37. ♎.

根盘中太阳的位置　天秤六度三十七分。

Place of the ☉ the day of the Revolution 6. 12.

回归那天太阳的位置　六度十二分。

The difference is 0. 25.

差数是　零度二十五分。

Diurnall motion of the ☉ is 59min. 10sec.

太阳的日行是五十九分十秒。

I enter Maginus his Table of Revolutions in pag. 259. and there I find 59m 8s, which is my neerest number ; I enter first with 20. min. and that gives me 8h 7m 2s ; againe, I enter with 5. min. and under 59m 8s I have over against 5, 2h 1m 45s, I put both together, and they stand thus :

我查马吉尼第二百五十九页的回归表，在那里找到五十九分八秒，这是最接近的数；我先用二十分去查，得八时七分二秒；再用五分去查，在五十九分八秒之下、对着五的地方，得二时一分四十五秒；我把两者合在一起，排列如下：

Hours Min Seconds

时　分　秒

Twenty minutes give 8 7 2

二十分得　八　七　二

Five minutes give 2 1 45

五分得　二　一　四十五

10 8 47

十　八　四十七

By which it appeares, that the ☉ comes to his true place in the Radix at Frankeford 19. September 1646. 10h 8m after noon ; but because we dwell more Westward, we must reduce the ☉ to our Meridian, which is done by substracting one hour and seven minutes from the former time thus :

由此可见，太阳在法兰克福于一六四六年九月十九日午后十时八分回到根盘中的真实位置；但因为我们住得更靠西，必须把太阳折算到我们的子午线，办法是从前面的时刻减去一小时七分，如下：

10 8

十　八

1 7

一　七

9 1

九　一

So then my true time here with us, unto which I must erect my Scheame of Heaven, is ♄ 19. September 1646. 9. 1. P.M. unto which I must adde the time from Noon in the Table of Houses for 53. degrees of latitude, and it is 12 26. unto which I adde the former hours thus 9 1. the equation of time, viz. 16. min. and then the whole is, 21 43

所以我们这里的真实时刻，即我要据以起天宫图的时刻，是一六四六年九月十九日星期六午后九时一分；我要加上北纬五十三度宫位表中的正午起算时间，即十二时二十六分；再加上前面的时数九时一分，以及时间的均差，即十六分；合计是二十一时四十三分。

In the Table of houses I look for 21. ho. 43. min. and over against 21 41 I find the 23. of ♒ for the cusp of the tenth house, and so the other houses in order, my ascendant is 0. 32. ♋. Thus have you the houses, and according to the time preceding you must rectifie the places of the Planets, and place them in your Scheam : Now for the ⊗ in a Revolution, you must doe thus, substract the place of the ☉ in the Radix from the place of the ☽ in the Radix, and adde unto what remaines the Signe ascending in the Revolution. The Figure followes for the 31. yeer of our Native currant.

在宫位表里我找二十一时四十三分，对着二十一时四十一分，我找到水瓶二十三度作第十宫宫头，其余各宫依次而得，我的上升是巨蟹零度三十二分。这样你就有了宫位；再按前面的时刻校正诸星的位置，把它们放进你的盘里。至于回归盘中的福点，你须这样做：从根盘中月亮的位置减去根盘中太阳的位置，把余数加上回归盘的上升星座。本命者第三十一年的回归盘如下。

I shall not need to be copious in delivering an exact method how to judge of a Revolution, what is convenient herein, and may benefit the Learner, whereby to better his judgment, is as followeth.

怎样判断回归，我不必长篇大论地传授精确的方法；凡合用、能使学者获益、增进其判断力的，如下。

To judge of a Revolution.

判断回归。

Compare the Figure of the Birth with that of the Revolution, and observe how the cusps of the houses, and their Lords, and the principall Significators doe agree or are disposed ; for upon a right understanding thereof, the strength of judgment in a Revolution depends.

拿出生盘与回归盘比较，看两盘的各宫宫头、各宫之主、主要的征象星怎样相合，或怎样配置；回归判断的力量，全在于把这一点弄清楚。

If the ascendant of the Revolution doe agree, or be the same with the ascendant of the Radix, it signifieth good, viz. good Health, the Native's actions succeeding prosperously, together with encrease of his Substance, if the Lord of the ascendant be also well dignified : if the Lord of the ascendant be combust, he threatens many mischiefs unto the Native, according to the nature of the Planet who is Lord of the yeer ; consideration also had to the ☉, and the house he is in and is Lord of : yet if the ☽ be powerfull, or in her owne house, or in any of her Essentiall dignities, especially in a nocturnall Geniture, the evill is diminished ; but exasperated, if she be both weak and unfortunate.

若回归盘的上升与根盘的上升相合，或就是同一个，主吉，即健康良好，本命者诸事顺利，资财增加，若上升主星又有好的尊贵；若上升主星焦伤，他就按年主那颗行星的本性，威胁本命者许多祸害；也要考虑太阳，以及他所在与所主之宫：但若月亮有力，或在自己的庙，或在她的任何必然尊贵中，尤其是夜生的本命，祸害就会减轻；若她既弱又受克，就会加重。

If the ascendant of the Revolution be in □ or ☍ to the ascendant in the Radix, or come to the Signe of ill houses,or signifying evill in the Radix, the Native will then receive losse and detriment in that yeer according to the nature of that house which the ascendant of the Revolution did signifie in the Radix : From hence it is that if the Sign of the sixt,twelft or seventh of the Radix be the ascending Signe of the Revolution, in that yeer the Native may feare sicknesses, imbecillity of his body, or other very many casualties,principally if those houses in the Radix were unfortunate.

若回归盘的上升与根盘的上升成四分或对冲，或落到凶宫的星座，或在根盘中主凶的星座，本命者那一年就会遭到损失与伤害，按回归盘的上升星座在根盘中所主那一宫的性质而定：由此，若根盘第六、第十二或第七宫的星座成为回归盘的上升星座，本命者那一年就要防疾病、身体虚弱，或其他许多意外，尤其若根盘中那些宫受克。

The Signe of the seventh house in the Radix being the ascendant of the Revolution, shewes many contentions and brawlings in that yeer, and the Native desirous of Marriage, or that he will marry that yeer : And seeing that the Significators of the Radix ought annually, or in every yeer to work their effects by the significations of those houses in which they are constituted at the time of the Revolution ; it followes hereupon, that in what house of the Revolution you find the Lord of the second, ⊗ or ♃, the Native shall have augmentation of Patrimony or Estate by things signified by that house ; so observe in the rest, &c.

根盘第七宫的星座作回归盘的上升，主那一年多争执口角，本命者想要结婚，或那一年就会结婚：既然根盘的征象星每年都应按它们在回归时所在各宫的意义发挥作用，那么由此推出：你在回归盘的哪一宫找到第二宫主、福点或木星，本命者就会凭那一宫所主的事物增加祖产或产业；其余照此类推，等等。

When the ascendant of the Revolution comes to the hostile Beames of the Infortunes, or the places of Heaven wherein they were, and naturally enemies unto them, whether in the Radix or Revolution, the Native may expect great perill that yeer, and it shall fall out at that time, when the Lord of the yeer shall come to the body of that Planet who signifieth the infelicity.

当回归盘的上升来到凶星的敌对光线，或来到它们在根盘或回归盘中所在的天空位置，而那里本性又与它们相敌，本命者那一年可能有大危险，而事情会发生在年主行至表示不幸的那颗行星本体的时候。

In every Revolution in which the Planets are disposed contrary to the radicall Geniture, though they be well disposed, yet they signifie ill ; as if in the Radix all the Planets were subterranean, and in the Revolution all above the earth ; or if all in the Radix were cadent from their owne houses, and all in the Revolution in their owne proper houses, yet it signifies ill, &c.

每一张回归盘中，诸星的配置若与根盘的本命相反，即使配置良好，也主凶；比如根盘中诸星都在地平之下，而回归盘中都在地平之上；或者根盘中诸星都落在离开自己庙宫的位置，回归盘中都在自己的庙宫，仍然主凶，等等。
