卷三·第一百七十九章　商人本命第四宫：父母

Judgments upon the fourth house.

第四宫的判断。

Of Parents.

论父母。

The Figure erected under the elevation of 40. grad. viz. the Polar elevation of the ☉ is principally to be considered in giving judgment of the Father, and in this Nativity of the Mother also, because they fall both in one almost circle of Position.

在四十度的极高之下所起的盘，即太阳的极高，是判断父亲时主要要考虑的，在这个本命里也用来判断母亲，因为二者几乎落在同一个位置圈上。

Forasmuch as the ☉ is not afflicted by any malevolent aspect, but contrarily is received by ♀, and in ☌ with her, one may conjecture the Father to be humane, rationall, and pleasantly conceited, and a personable man, or of good stature ; his Substance signified by ♂ in ♌, cannot be very great, but much diminished by such as pretend friendship unto him, by Souldiers, &c.

由于太阳没有受任何凶相位的侵害，反而被金星接纳，又与她会合，可以推想父亲是个和善、明理、风趣的人，相貌堂堂，或身材高大；他的财产由在狮子的火星所表示，不会很大，而且会被那些对他假装友好的人、被军人等等，大大削减。

The agreement betwixt him and his Wife seemes very good, because ♀ is in cazimi with the ☉ : ♀ is stronger then the ☉, ergo,it's probable the Mother may out-live,&c. and I should conceive, because ♀ receives ♄, the Native's Significator, and ♄ receives ♀, that the affection of the Mother to our Native should be very much, and rather more then the Fathers, &c.

他与妻子之间的和睦似乎很好，因为金星与太阳在日核之中：金星比太阳强，所以母亲很可能活得比父亲久，等等；我还认为，由于金星接纳本命者的征象星土星，土星也接纳金星，母亲对本命者的疼爱应当很深，而且比父亲更深，等等。

Ptolomey giveth directions to extract the Nativity of the Father and Mother from the first borne child in this manner :

托勒密指示从头胎所生的孩子推出父亲与母亲的本命，方法如下：

[If the Nativity be by night, doe the like by ♄.] [For the Mother in a day birth take ♀, in a nocturnal the ☽.] If the Nativity be by day, you are to consider the ☉ and his place, who shall signifie the Father ; take his circle of position, and under that elevation, you are to erect a Scheam of Heaven, as if the Father had been borne there, if you have any Table of Houses for that elevation, it will serve ; if not, adde to the oblique ascention of the ☉ 30. degrees, and see what degree of the Ecliptick that cuts for the second house, admitting the elevation of the pole for that and other houses, as Regiomontanus directs. In our Nativity 6. 37. ♎ shall ascend for the Father, under the Pole of 40.

（若是夜生，就照样用土星来做。）（判断母亲，昼生取金星，夜生取月亮。）若是昼生，你要考虑太阳和他的位置，他表示父亲；取他的位置圈，在那个极高之下起一张天宫图，就像父亲生在那里一样；若你有那个极高的宫位表，就可以用；若没有，就在太阳的斜升上加三十度，看它在黄道上截出哪一度作第二宫，其他各宫也照雷乔蒙塔努斯的指示取极高。在我们这个本命里，在四十度的极高之下，天秤六度三十七分会作为父亲的上升。
