卷三·第一百七十六章　商人本命第一宫：品性、才智、形貌与总运

Judgments upon the first House.

第一宫的判断。

Of the Manners of the Native.

论本命者的品性。

Having no Planet corporally present in the ascendant, we must derive signification of Manners from ☿ ☉ ♀ ☽ and ♄, wherein those of the nature of ♄ will be during his life the most permanent, those deduced from the other four Planets not so fixed ; for I have all along in my practice observed, that the Signe ascending, Lord thereof, and aspects of the Planets unto him, doth decipher such Conditions, Qualities and Manners, as that I hardly observe, doe ever forsake the Native totally : but it's true, they are more or lesse prevalent at one time then another, according to the directions of other Planets coincident with any wherein the Lord of the ascendant is concerned.

上升里没有行星以本体在场，我们必须从水星、太阳、金星、月亮与土星取品性的意义；其中属土星本性的，在他一生中最为持久，从其他四颗行星推出的则不那么固定；因为我在一路的实践中都观察到：上升星座、它的主星，以及诸星对他的相位，所显出的那些性情、素质与品性，我几乎没见过会完全离开本命者的；不过确实，它们在某些时候比另一些时候更占上风，要看其他行星的推运是否与上升主星所涉及的推运相遇。

Our Native absolutely is a melancholy person (per se) grave, austere, of a firme resolution, solitary, laborious, taciturne, nothing loquacious, &c. The □ of ♂ to ♄, induce him to be obstinate and a little wilfull, a tincture of malice remaining in him ; for the Infortunes are both fixed, &c. these are the naturall qualities belonging to ♄, as here posited and aspected ; besides, some female infirmenesse naturally are ingrafted in him, which ♄ in ♉ the house of ♀, doth bestow on him in the worser sense, for though there is reception betwixt ♀ and ♄, yet is there no aspect, and that malevolent □ of ♂ to ♄ is out of the seventh house, the naturall house Women, Loves, &c. and certainly these depraved manners would prevaile, and extreamly predominate even to the great detriment of the Native, if that ☿ and the ☽ were not in an ayeriall and humane Signe, and in △ aspect, whereby the Native is refrained by urbanity and education from discovering publickly,or making use of his native and occult Saturnine conditions;and he in his younger yeers, untill ♄ have finished his first revolution, will be more tractable, more given to his delight, to be more neat and cleane in his apparell, to trim and adorne himselfe, to be onely carefull of a competent fortune, to be gracefull, lovely and majesticall in his deportment : these later mentioned qualities are of the nature of ♀, she being Lady of the Geniture.

我们的本命者本质上（就其本身而言）绝对是个忧郁的人，庄重，严峻，意志坚定，孤独，勤劳，寡言，毫不多嘴，等等。火星对土星的四分，使他固执，有点任性，身上留着一丝恶意的色彩；因为两颗凶星都在固定星座，等等。这些是土星如此落位、如此受相位时所带的天然性质；此外，他天生还嫁接了一些女性的柔弱，这是土星在金星的庙金牛里，以较坏的意义赋予他的，因为金星与土星之间虽有接纳，却没有相位，而火星对土星那个凶恶的四分，又出自第七宫，即天然主女人、爱情等等的宫；这些败坏的品性本来必定会占上风，极度地压倒一切，以致大大损害本命者，若不是水星与月亮在风象的人形星座里，又成三分，使本命者凭文雅与教养，克制自己，不公开显露、也不使用他天生而隐藏的土星性情；在他年轻的时候，直到土星走完他的第一圈，他会更好相处，更随自己的喜好，衣着更整洁干净，修饰打扮自己，只求一份够用的财产，举止优雅、可亲而有威仪：后面提到的这些性质属于金星的本性，她是这个本命的命主。

The △ of ☿ and ☽ incite him unto Study and Learning, unto Travell and see many Countries ; so that in conclusion, thus much is derived from the Positure of Heaven, that his Manners are sufficiently laudable; managed totally after an austere and grave Comportment; at some times betwixt merry and melancholy, at other times wholly oppressed with sadnesse, and againe accidentally and for a short season pleasantly merry ; for upon the Direction of ☽ to ♄ his aspect or Terms, he shall find himselfe more or lesse inclinable to covetousnesse, solitarinesse,pertinacy, and what in the vulgar English we call doggednesse ; but when the ☽ either by Direction comes to the body or aspect, or termes of ♀, or either of her houses is the ascendant in an annuall Profection or Revolution, the Native shall find himself prone to wantonnesse,prompt to indulge the Genius, given then more familiarly to his delights and sports.

水星与月亮的三分，激他去研读学问，去远游、看许多国家；所以总而言之，从天象的配置所推出的是：他的品性相当值得称道，完全按庄重严肃的举止行事；有时介于欢快与忧郁之间，有时完全被悲伤压住，又偶尔短暂地愉快欢喜；因为当月亮推运到土星的相位或界时，他会觉得自己或多或少倾向于贪婪、孤僻、执拗，以及我们英语俗话所说的“犟”；但当月亮以推运来到金星的本体、相位或界，或金星的两个庙宫之一在年度小限或回归中作上升时，本命者会觉得自己倾向放荡，乐于纵情，那时就更随意地沉浸在他的享乐与游戏之中。

Of his Wit and Understanding.

论他的才智与理解力。

Which naturally is required from ☿, the Signe he is in, his aspect with the ☽ and Sign she is in,consideration had either to their being neer unto eminent fixed Starres, or the good or ill aspects of other Planets.

这自然要从水星、他所在的星座、他与月亮的相位和月亮所在的星座来求，还要考虑它们是否靠近显著的恒星，或其他行星的吉凶相位。

It was never denied, but ever held as a Maxime, that ♎ ♊ ♒ produced of themselves good Understandings ; we have ☿ in ♎ and the ☽ in ♊ in △ ; the Question then is easily resolved that our Native is ingenious, and of a sufficient and piercing understanding, capable of any employment, that he will be delighted in such things and Sciences, as wherein properly the understanding may be of especiall use :

向来没人否认，而一直被奉为准则的是：天秤、双子、水瓶本身就产生好的理解力；我们有水星在天秤、月亮在双子，成三分；那么问题就容易解决：我们的本命者聪颖，理解力充分而敏锐，能胜任任何差事，他会喜爱那些理解力在其中特别有用的事物与学问：

The defect which may be casually in this Native's understanding,is signified by ☿ his combustion in a movable Signe, which may denote a diffidence or distrust of his owne sufficiency,and so cause timidity and no strong resolution in acting his owne conceptions ; and this I conceive properly to be signified by ☿ his combustion in □ to the ascendant, and his vacancy of aspect to ♄ Lord of the ascendant.

这位本命者的理解力偶然可能有的缺陷，由水星在启动星座中焦伤所表示，这可能意味着他对自己的才能缺乏自信或心存疑虑，因而胆怯，在实行自己的想法时不够果决；我认为这正是由水星焦伤、四分上升，以及他与上升主星土星没有相位所表示的。

Forme and Stature.

形貌与身材。

Designed principally from the Sign horoscopating, viz. ♑, and ♄ Lord of that Sign,commixed with the radiations of such Planets as partilly behold either the ascendant or Lord thereof; the Signe and other Significators represent a body somewhat dry, macilent, erect and straight, if not a little inclining to fulnesse by the Orientality of ♄, the visage neer unto an ovall, his complexion somewhat browne or duskie, because ♄ is under the earth ; naturally more cleer and lovely, because ☉ and ♀ especially behold the house, which naturally signifies the Face and Head, the Haire neither black or browne ; for though ♄ cause black, yet ☉ and ♀ lighter Planets give lighter Haire, being also above the earth : there's properly a reception betwixt ♄ and ♀, whereby ♀ in a manner comes to have almost sole dominion of the corporature, neither pemitting drinesse or heat to domineer solely, but interposing her moisture ; for [He hath a defect there, viz. the Kings Evill, but it's partly inherent to the Family.] she as well in manners causeth him to be lesse Saturnine, so in Stature she causeth the members to be more neat compacted, decent, active and agill, by meanes of her being in Cazimi ;

主要由上升星座，即摩羯，及其主星土星来定，再混入那些以精确相位照看上升或其主星的行星的光线；星座与其他征象星表示一个有些干瘦、挺直的身体，若非因土星东出而稍趋丰满，脸近于椭圆，面色有些褐暗或晦暗，因为土星在地平之下；天然地更清亮可爱，因为太阳与金星特别照看这个宫，而这个宫天然主脸与头；头发不黑也不褐；因为土星虽然主黑，太阳与金星这两颗较亮的行星却给较浅的头发，它们又在地平之上：土星与金星之间有真正的接纳，由此金星在某种程度上几乎独掌形体，既不让干，也不让热独自主宰，而把她的湿气插入其间；因为（他那里有一处缺陷，即瘰疬，但这部分是家族遗传的。）她既在品性上使他不那么土星化，在身材上也使他的肢体更紧凑匀称、得体、活跃而敏捷，这是因为她在日核之中；

So that unlesse ♄ Lord of the Ascendant being in the ninth of 9 ♉ which is a deficient Degree, doe give some blemish on, or in the throat (I can finde none.)

所以，除非上升主星土星在金牛第九度——这是一个残缺度数——在喉部或喉上留下某种瑕疵（我找不到有。）

I perceive the Native takes much after his Parents, and the rather, because ♀ is Lord of the fourth house, viz. of the Father, and so prevalent in the scheam, therefore more of the Father then Mother.

我看出本命者很像他的父母，更像父亲，因为金星是第四宫即父亲之宫的主星，在盘中又如此占优势，所以像父亲多于像母亲。

The fortune or misfortune of the Native in generall,&c.

本命者总的福运或不幸，等等。

Essentiall dignities of the Planets, argue according to their constitution a continued and permanent happinesse : We have both the fortunes essentially strong, ♂ accidentally, and so the ☽ ; it may be judged our Native shall have a continuance of happinesse, but not in any illustrious way, or at the Court of Princes, because ♃ and ♀ are in obscure houses, and ♄ Lord of the ascendant is in ☍ to the tenth house ; besides, the ☉ is Peregrine and in his fall, &c.

诸星的必然尊贵，按其状况表示持续而长久的幸福：我们这里两颗吉星都必然尊贵强，火星偶然尊贵强，月亮也是；可以判断我们的本命者会有持续的幸福，但不是以任何显赫的方式，也不是在王公的宫廷里，因为木星与金星都在晦暗之宫，而上升主星土星与第十宫对冲；此外，太阳游离而在落，等等。

Upon the Direction therefore of any Sgnificators to ♃ or ♀ Promittor, he may expect greatest benefit in his actions, consideration had to the houses they governe. Here appeares, during his life, a happy condition, or sufficient subsistance, because both the Fortunes are so prevalent ; yet here are arguments of some interposition or clouds casually to arise, because the ☉ the light of the time is Peregrine, and locally in the eight, very much debilitated, yet the result runs to a perpetuity of the goods of Fortune, and promises unto the Native a good measure of happinesse, and esteeme in the world greater then any of his Consanguinity.

因此当任何征象星推运到作允诺星的木星或金星时，他可期望在行事上得到最大的益处，还要考虑它们所主之宫。这里显出他一生境况幸福，或足以维生，因为两颗吉星都如此占优势；但这里也有论据显示，偶尔会有些阻碍或阴云出现，因为当令之光太阳游离，又落在第八宫，极度受损；然而结果仍归于幸运之物长久不断，许给本命者相当的幸福，在世上的名望超过他的任何血亲。

For though ♄ is defective in dignities, yet is he fixed and in reception with ♀ ; besides, there is upon the cuspe of the ascendant an eminent fixed Starre, called Lyra or the Harpe, which doth promise a splendid and famous name and a continued fortune unto the Native ; and though we cannot much boast of Oculus Tauri with the ☽, she being not the temporall light of the time ; yet I have observed she doth raise unto preferment or to a good esteeme when so located : nor may it be neglected that the ⊗ is in ☌ with ♀.

因为土星虽然缺乏尊贵，却在固定星座，又与金星互相接纳；此外，在上升宫头上有一颗显著的恒星，叫天琴或竖琴，它许给本命者显赫的美名与长久的福运；虽然我们不能拿与月亮同在的金牛之眼多夸口，因为她不是当令之光；但我观察过，她落在这样的位置时，确实会使人擢升或得到好名声：福点与金星会合这一点也不可忽视。

All which considered, designe unto the Native, that his Fortune in generall shall be good, and the time or indurance of his afflictions not long or tedious.

这一切考虑下来，表示本命者的总运会好，他的苦难持续的时间不会长久难熬。
