卷三·第一百八十三章　商人本命第十一宫：朋友

Judgments upon the eleventh house.

第十一宫的判断。

Of Friends.

论朋友。

HERE ascends a by corporeall Signe, viz. ♐ upon the cuspe of the eleventh; to which cuspe the ☽ casteth her ☍ aspect; as if Saylors, vulgar fellowes were not fit to be accepted into the number of the Natives Friends; the Moone also is Lady of the seventh: a Partner in this Natives imployments will not naturally suit to his profit, but to his dammage. All those people signified by the Moone are not to be admitted into Friendship; what they are see Page 81.

这里升起的是一个双体星座，即射手在第十一宫头上；月亮向这个宫头投出她的对冲；仿佛水手、粗俗的家伙不宜被接纳为本命者的朋友；月亮又是第七宫之主：本命者经营中的合伙人，天性上不会合他的利益，只会使他受损。凡月亮所表示的人，都不可接纳为友；他们是哪些人，见第八十一页。

The Signe it self, and ♃ posited in the Signe represents men of Joviall stature and condition, are fit persons for the Native to associate wth in point of friendship; so also Venerians, not Mercurians because he is Peregrine, Combust, &c. ♂ beholds the cuspe of the eleventh with △: he may import commanders of Armies, Townes, Governours, principall Magistrates, to be assistant to the Native in point of friendship, provided they be of Mars his description in ♌, which what it is see to the Signe its quality and ♂ therein; Surgeons also, Physitians, Drugists, Apothecaries, Masters of Mints, or any using a profession wherein Iron Instruments are of concernment.

这个星座本身，以及落在其中的木星，代表有木星身材与性情的人，是本命者在交友上宜于结交的人；金星型的人也是，水星型的人则不是，因为他游离、焦伤，等等。火星以三分照第十一宫头：他可能指军队将领、城镇长官、主要官员，在交友上协助本命者，只要他们合乎火星在狮子的描述，那是什么样子，看这个星座的性质及火星在其中的情形；还有外科医生、内科医生、药材商、药剂师、造币厂主管，或任何从事以铁器为要紧的行当的人。
