卷三·第一百八十四章　商人本命第十宫：尊荣与职业

Judgments upon the tenth house.

第十宫的判断。

Honour, Preferment, &c. Magistery, and with what repute.

尊荣、擢升等等；职业，以及名声如何。

ARtists usually consider Mars, ♀ and ☿, who being found either essentially strong, or any of them Lord of the tenth, or posited in the seventh, which is naturally the house of Commerce, or in any partill aspect with the ☽, doe for the most part signifie a Profession, &c. Mars is designed for the Native. Where note, the quality of the Native is ever considered; for Kings and Nobility have no professions, therefore it were absurd to tell them of a Trade, &c. but doubtlesse they may be inclined to such or such kinde of men, or things as are signified by the Significator of Magistery.

行家通常考虑火星、金星与水星，若发现它们在必然尊贵上强，或其中任何一颗是第十宫主，或落在第七宫，即天然的商贸之宫，或与月亮成任何精确相位，多半就表示有一门行当，等等。火星被定为本命者的征象星。这里要注意，本命者的身份总要考虑；因为君王贵族没有行当，所以对他们说起手艺等等，就荒唐了：但无疑他们会倾向于这样或那样的人或事，即职业征象星所表示的那类。

[Viz. to have command over others.] In our Scheam Mars being Lord of the tenth, in ⚹ with ☽ ♀ ☉ and ☿, doe absolutely pronounce to the Native a Profession, of what kinde we shall discover; the mixture or many aspects of all the Significators, argue that his Profession shall not be one and the same alwayes, but vary, according to the times and directions of the Hilegiacalls.

［即对别人有指挥之权。］在我们的盘中，火星是第十宫主，与月亮、金星、太阳与水星成六分，绝对地向本命者宣告有一门行当，是哪一类，我们后面再找；诸征象星的混杂与众多的相位，主他的行当不会始终如一，而会变化，随时运与海勒格诸位的推运而变。

The potency of ♀ in ☌ with ☉ and ♂ in the seventh, and proximity of Significators to each others aspect; say, he shall trade or deale in such things as are usefull for man and without which man may not well subsist: this I judge, because both ♀ ☉ ☿ and ☽ are in humaine Signes: Mars in ♌ the house of the ☉ may denote in Mettals and Minerals, of Martiall and Solar condition. ♀ represents Jewels, Bracelets, ornaments for Women. ☿ signifieth Accounts, Merchandize, in ☌ with ☉ Solar businesses.

金星与太阳会合而有力，火星在第七宫，诸征象星彼此的相位又近；这些说明他会经营或买卖对人有用、人没有它就难以过活的东西：我这样判断，是因为金星、太阳、水星与月亮都在人形星座：火星在太阳之庙狮子，可能主金属与矿物，属火星与太阳性质的。金星代表珠宝、手镯、女人的饰物。水星主账目、商品，与太阳会合，主属太阳的生意。

Let the Native observe what is signified by ☉ ♀ or ♂ and in such Merchandises and by such men, he will attaine to Preferment, Honour and estimation in the world, which is by reason that Lucida Lancis is neere the degree culminating, and Lucida Lyræ is ascending: ♃ essentially strong and Lord of the 11th and ♀ in Cazimi with the ☉ his repute is signified to be very splendid, fortunate and famous, according to the quality of his birth or profession he useth:

本命者要留意太阳、金星或火星所主的东西，在这类商品上、借这类人，他会在世上得到擢升、荣誉与尊重；这是因为秤盘最亮星靠近中天的度数，天琴最亮星正在上升：木星有很强的必然尊贵，又是第十一宫主，金星与太阳在日核中，表示他的名声会很显赫、幸运、出名，与他的出身或所操的行当相称：

So that from hence I gather the Native shall have a Calling, shall live plentifully of it, and in much estimation in all those places where he shall reside; so that what amongst men honourably descended is honour in a strict sence, shall be fame, reputation and a plentifull manner of living, in the course of life the Native is designed for: and this is apertly Demonstrated by the being of ☉ with ♀.

所以我由此推断，本命者会有一门营生，靠它过得富足，在他居住过的一切地方都很受尊重；因此，在出身高贵的人中所谓严格意义上的荣誉，在本命者注定要走的人生道路上，就是名声、声望与富足的生活：这一点，由太阳与金星同在，就公开显明了。

The △ which the Luminaries have to each other, and also the ☽ her proximity to Oculus Taurus, a Star giving usually sudden and unexpected preferment from some State, King or Prince; designs the like untous by means of a Venerian creature. This I conceive because ♀ is with ☉, and ☽ is with oculus tauri, who is of Mars his condition and he is Lord of the tenth. Nor is ♃ his being in ♐ to be slighted, he being Lord of the eleventh, may in time denote some Office of publique trust in the Common-wealth.

两光彼此的三分，以及月亮靠近金牛之眼，那是一颗通常从某个国家、国王或君主那里给人突然而意外擢升的星；这借一个金星型的人给我们同样的指示。我这样认为，是因为金星与太阳同在，月亮又与金牛之眼同在，那颗星有火星的性质，而火星是第十宫主。木星在射手也不可轻视，他是第十一宫主，日后可能表示在国家里得到某种公共信托的职位。

So that having examined the Profession or quality of the Materials the Native is to deale in; and having considered the Preferment or increase he may expect thereupon, it rests onely to give the Native this Caution, which generally he is to use during his life; that according to the good Directions of Medium Cœli or ☉ to benevolent Promittors, he be more valiant and active, & e contrario: my meaning is, that in those yeeees when they come to fortunate aspects, he endevour with his Penny and industry to make good use of those proper Directions for better increase both of his esteeme and Credit in the World, as also for enlargement of his Fortune.

所以，既考察了本命者的行当，即他所要经营的货物的性质，又考虑了他由此可望得到的擢升或增益，剩下的就只是给本命者这条告诫，他一生都要普遍遵行：按照中天或太阳推到吉性允诺星的好推运，他要更勇敢、更积极，反之亦然：我的意思是，在它们来到吉相位的那些年里，他要尽力用他的钱与勤勉，善用这些合宜的推运，以更多增进他在世上的尊重与信用，也扩大他的财富。
