卷三·第一百八十二章　商人本命第五宫：子女

Judgments upon the fift house.

第五宫的判断。

Of Children.

论子女。

♉ is totally excluded from juddgment herein, the ☽ by her locall presence and existence within two degrees of the cusp of the fift house, and ♊ the house of ☿, a barren Sign, descends.

金牛在这件事的判断上完全被排除，因为月亮以本体落在第五宫头两度之内，而双子，即水星之庙、一个不育星座，落在那里。

☿ is combust, an argument of no issue, or else spurious.

水星焦伤，主无嗣，要不就是私生。

♊ is a barren Signe, and so, per se, a testimony of barrennesse.

双子是不育星座，所以本身就是不育的见证。

♐ is ascending in the eleventh, ♃ is in that Signe, but obscured and impedited from assistance by position in the twelft.

射手在第十一宫升起，木星在那个星座里，但落在第十二宫，被遮蔽，受阻而帮不上忙。

The presence of the ☽, her benevolent aspect to ♂ by ⚹, and to ☿ ☉ and ♀; besides, the above named Planets their friendly radiation to the cusp of the fift, do seem to overcome the former impediments, so that Children may be assuredly predicted to the Native, and that he shall have Issue: The number is derived from the Signe of the fift, the ☽ therein placed, and the many Planets she is in friendly aspect withall.

月亮在那里，她以六分吉照火星，又吉照水星、太阳与金星；此外，上述诸星又都以友善的光线照第五宫头，这些似乎压过了前面的障碍，所以可以有把握地预言本命者会有子女，会有后嗣：数目从第五宫的星座、落在其中的月亮，以及与她成友善相位的诸多行星推出。

A Bycorporeall Signe giveth 2.

一个双体星座给二。

The ☽ cannot but adde 1.

月亮不能不加一。

In aspect with four Planets 4. a probability of four.

与四颗行星成相位，四，可能有四个。

But I conceive the Combustion of ☿ killeth one, and the ⚹ of ☽ to ♂ another, the Sexe or kinds being required are thus conjectured: Mars in a masculine Signe, one Male; ☉ in a masculine Signe, one Male; the ☽ in ♊ so neer to a ⚹ of Mars, a Male; ☿ his power being given to ☉, may prenote a Male; onely ♀ and the ☽ in △, being both feminine, and ♀ Almuten of the Geniutre, note two Females, if not three, the Females may live, but not all the Males, &c.

但我认为水星焦伤杀去一个，月亮对火星的六分又杀去一个；若问性别，可以这样推测：火星在阳性星座，一男；太阳在阳性星座，一男；月亮在双子，又如此接近火星的六分，一男；水星把力量交给太阳，可能预示一男；只有金星与月亮成三分，两者都是阴性，金星又是本命的命主，主两女，若不是三女的话；女儿们可以存活，但男孩们不会都活，等等。

Their mutuall agreement is signified by the quality of the aspect; which being benigne, denoteth concordancy amongst them; yet ♀ is in probability like to come to great preferment.

他们彼此的和睦由相位的性质表示；相位既吉，表示他们之间和睦；而金星多半会得到很大的擢升。
