卷一·第十九章（二）　强弱计分、度数性质与判断前的考量

[Orientall.] [Occidentall.] ♄ ♃ and ♂, are Orientall of the ☉, from the time of their ☌ with him, untill they come to his ☍: from whence untill againe they come to ☌, they are said to be Occidentall; to be Orientall is no other thing then to rise before the ☉: to be Occidentall is to be seen above the Horizon, or to set after the ☉ is downe: ☿ and ♀ can make no ⚹ □ △ or ☍ to the ☉: their Orientality is when they are in fewer degrees of the Signe the ☉ is, or in the Signe preceding; their Occidentality, when they are in more degrees of the Signe the ☉ is in, or in the next subsequent: for you must know ☿ cannot be more degrees removed from the ☉ then 28. nor ♀ more then 48. though some allow a few more.

［东出。］［西入。］土星、木星和火星，从与太阳会合之时起，直到与太阳对冲，都是在太阳之东即东出；从对冲起直到再次会合，就称为西入；东出不过是比太阳先升起：西入就是在太阳落下之后在地平线上可见，或在太阳之后落下：水星和金星不能与太阳成六分、四分、三分或对冲：它们的东出，是在太阳所在星座里度数比太阳少，或在前一个星座；它们的西入，是在太阳所在星座里度数比太阳多，或在后一个星座：因为你必须知道，水星离太阳不能超过二十八度，金星不能超过四十八度，虽然有人多容许几度。

The ☽ is Orientall of the ☉ from the time of her ☍ to her conjunction, and Occidentall from the time of her Conjunction to Opposition; and the reason hereof is, because she farre exceeds the Sunne in swiftnesse of motion, and so presently gets further into the Signe, &c.

月亮从与太阳对冲之时到会合，为东出；从会合到对冲，为西入；原因是她的运行远比太阳快，所以很快就在星座里走得更远，等等。

[Besieging.] Besieging is, when any Planet is placed betwixt the bodies of the two Malevolent Planets ♄ and ♂: as ♄ in 15. ♈, ♂ in 10. of ♈, ♀ in 13 ♈: here Venus is besieged by the two infortunes, and it represents in questions, a Man going out of Gods blessing into the warme Sunne; I mean if ♀ be a significatrix that time in the figure.

［被围。］被围是任何行星位于两颗凶星土星与火星的星体之间：如土星在白羊十五度，火星在白羊十度，金星在白羊十三度：这里金星被两颗凶星围住，在问题里，它代表一个人走出了神的祝福，走进温暖的日头里；我是说，如果那时金星在盘中是女征象星。

There are other accidents belonging to the Planets one amongst another mentioned by the Ancients, but of so little purpose in judgement, that I have cleerly omitted them.

古人还提到诸行星之间其他一些情形，但在判断上用处极小，我就干脆略去了。

[Direction.] When a Planet moveth forward in the Signe, as going out of 13.degr. into 14. and so along.

［顺行。］行星在星座里往前走，如从十三度走进十四度，依次向前。

[Retrogradation.] When a Planet goeth backward, as out of 10. degr. into 9, 8, 7, &c.

［逆行。］行星往后走，如从十度退到九度、八度、七度，等等。

[Stationary.] When he moves not at all, as the superiours doe not 2, 3, or 4, dayes before Retrogradation.

［留。］行星完全不动，如上位行星在逆行之前两、三或四天就不动。

I forbeare here to explaine the Table, because I shall doe it better hereafter, upon some Example.

这张表我在这里先不解释，因为后面我会结合某个实例解释得更好。

The use of the Table.

此表的用法。

Many times it happens, that it is of great concernment to the Querent to know, whether a Woman be with childe of a Male or Female; or whether the Theefe be Man or Woman, &c. When it shall so chance that neither the Angles, or the sex of the Planet, or the Signes doe discover it, but that the testimonies are equall; then if you consider the degrees of the Signe wherein the ☽ is, and wherein the Planet significator of the thing or party quesited is, and the degree of the Cuspe of the House signifying the person quesited after; and see by the second Column whether they be in Masculine or Feminine Degrees, you may poyse your judgement, by concluding a Masculine party, if they be posited in Masculine degrees; or Feminine, if they be in Feminine degrees.

很多时候，问卜者非常想知道一个女人怀的是男孩还是女孩；或窃贼是男是女，等等。如果碰巧四角、行星的性别、星座都看不出来，双方证据相等；那么你就考虑月亮所在星座的度数，所问之事或所问之人的征象星所在的度数，以及代表所问之人那一宫的宫头度数，用第二栏看它们是在阳性度数还是阴性度数，就可以权衡你的判断：它们若落在阳性度数，就断为男性；落在阴性度数，就断为女性。

You see the first eight degrees of ♈ are Masculine, the ninth degree is Feminine, from nine to fifteene is Masculine, from fifteen to two and twenty is Feminine, from two and twenty to thirty is Masculine; and so as they stand directed in all the Signes.

你看，白羊的前八度是阳性，第九度是阴性，从九到十五度是阳性，从十五到二十二度是阴性，从二十二到三十度是阳性；所有星座都照表上所列这样排。

The third Columne tels you there are in every Signe certain Degrees, some called Light, Darke, Smoakie, Void, &c. the use hereof is thus:

第三栏告诉你，每个星座里都有某些度数，有的称为明亮，有的称为黑暗、烟雾、空虚，等等，用法如下：

Let a Signe ascend in a Nativity or Question, if the Ascendant be in those Degrees you see are called Light, the Childe or querent shall be more faire; if the degree ascending be of those we call Darke, his Complexion shall be nothing so faire, but more obscure and darke; and if he be borne deformed, the deformity shall be more and greater; but if he be deformed when the light degrees of a Signe ascend, the imperfection shall be more tolerable.

在本命盘或问题盘里，让某个星座上升，如果上升点在你看到称为明亮的那些度数里，孩子或问卜者就较白皙；如果上升的度数是我们称为黑暗的，他的肤色就远不那么白，而是较暗较黑；如果他生来畸形，畸形就更多更重；但如果他畸形而上升的是星座的明亮度数，缺陷就较可容忍。

And if the ☽ or the Degree ascending be in those degrees we call Voyd, be the Native or Querent faire or foule, his understanding will be small, and his judgement lesse then the world supposeth, and the more thou conferrest with him, the greater defect shalt thou finde in him. If the Ascendant, the ☽, or either of them be in those degrees we call Smoakie, the person inquiring or Native, shall neither be very faire nor very foule, but of a mixt Complexion, Stature or condition, betwixt faire and foule, betwixt tall and of little Stature, and so in condition neither very judicious or a very Asse.

如果月亮或上升的度数在我们称为空虚的那些度数里，不论本命者或问卜者长得美或丑，他的悟性都会很差，判断力也比世人以为的要少，你与他交谈得越多，就越会发现他的欠缺。如果上升点、月亮或二者之一在我们称为烟雾的那些度数里，问卜者或本命者就既不很美也不很丑，而是肤色、身材或品性混杂，介于美丑之间，介于高矮之间，品性也是这样，既不很有见识，也不是十足的蠢驴。

You see the three first Degrees of ♈ are Darke, from three to eight are light, from eight to sixteen are Darke, from sixteen to twenty are Light, from twenty to four and twenty are Voyd, from foure and twenty to nine and twenty are Light, the last Degree is Voyd.

你看，白羊的前三度是黑暗的，三到八度是明亮的，八到十六度是黑暗的，十六到二十度是明亮的，二十到二十四度是空虚的，二十四到二十九度是明亮的，最后一度是空虚的。

[Degrees, deep or pitted.] Degrees deep or pitted presented in the fourth Column have this signification, that if either the ☉ or the Degree ascending or Lord of the Ascendant be in any of them, it shews the Man at a stand in the question he askes, not knowing which way to turn himselfe, and that he had need of helpe to bring him into a better condition; for as a man cast into a Ditch doth not easily get out without helpe, so no more can this querent in the case he is without assistance.

［深陷或坑陷的度数。］第四栏所列的深陷即坑陷的度数，含义是这样：如果太阳、上升的度数或上升主星在其中任何一度，就表示此人在所问之事上进退两难，不知该往哪里转，需要有人帮助，才能使他处境好转；因为正如一个人被丢进沟里，没人帮忙就不容易出来，这个问卜者在所处的境况里，没有援助也是如此。

[Called by some Azimene degrees.] Degrees lame and deficient are those mentioned in the fifth Columne; the meaning whereof is thus, If in any question you finde him that demands the question, or in a Nativity, if you finde the Native defective in any member, or infected with an inseperable disease, halting, blindnesse, deafnesse, &c. you may then suppose the native hath either one of these Azimene degr. ascending at his birth, or the Lord of the Ascendant, or the ☽ in one of them: in a Question or Nativity, if you see the Querent lame naturally, crooked, or viciated in some member, and on the sodain you can in the figure give no present satisfaction to your selfe, doe you then consider the Degree ascending, or Degree wherein the ☽ is in, or the Lord of the Ascendant, or principall Lord of the Nativity or Question, and there is no doubt but you shall finde one or more of them in Azimene degrees.

［有人称之为残缺度数。］残缺即有缺陷的度数是第五栏所列的那些；含义是这样：如果在任何问题里，你发现问卜的人，或在本命盘里你发现本命者，某个肢体有缺陷，或染上了不能去除的疾病，跛行、失明、耳聋等等，你就可以推想，本命者出生时上升的是这些残缺度数之一，或者上升主星或月亮在其中一度：在问题或本命里，如果你看到问卜者天生跛脚、驼背或某个肢体有损，而一时在盘中找不出令你满意的解释，那就去看上升的度数，或月亮所在的度数，或上升主星，或本命或问题的首要主星，毫无疑问，你会发现它们之中有一个或几个在残缺度数里。

[Degrees increasing fortune.] These Degrees are related in the fifth Column, and tend to this understanding, that if the Cuse of the second House, or if the Lord of the second house, or ♃, or the part of fortune be in, any of those degrees, its an argument of much wealth, and that the Native or Querent will be rich.

［增益财运的度数。］这些度数列在第五栏，意思是：如果第二宫的宫头，或第二宫主星，或木星，或福点在这些度数中的任何一度，就是大有财富的论据，本命者或问卜者将会富有。

The Use and Reason of the former Table.

前表的用法与道理。

It was well neere foure yeeres after I had studied Astrology, before I could finde any reason, why the Planets in every of the Signes should signifie the members as mentioned in the Table: at last, reading the 88. Aphorisme of Hermes, I understood the meaning of it, viz. Erit im-pedimentum circa illam partem corporis quam significat signum, quod fuerit nativitatis tempore impeditum. There wil be some impediment in or neer that part of the body, which is signified by the Signe that shall be afflicted at time of the Birth The use of all comes to thus much:

我学占星学将近四年之后，才找到道理，明白为什么诸行星在每个星座里会主表中所列的那些肢体：最后，读到赫密斯第八十八条金言，我才懂得它的意思，即拉丁文原句：「出生之时受损的星座所主的身体部位一带，将有障碍。」也就是：出生之时受到侵害的那个星座所代表的身体部位里或附近，会有某种障碍。用法归结起来就是这样：

That if you would know where any Disease is, I meane in what member of the body, see in what Signe the significator of the sick Party is, and what part of mans body that Planet signifies in that Signe, which you may doe by the former Table, in that member or part of body shall you say the sick party is grieved or diseased.

如果你想知道疾病在哪里，我是说在身体的哪个肢体，就看病人的征象星在哪个星座，再从前表查那颗行星在那个星座主人体哪一部分，你就说病人在那个肢体或身体部位受苦或生病。

As if ♄ be Significator of the sick party, and at time of your Question in ♊; have recourse to your Table, and you see ♄ in ♊ signifieth a Disease in the Belly or heart, &c. Do so in the rest.

如土星是病人的征象星，问卜之时在双子；去查你的表，你就看到土星在双子主腹部或心脏的疾病，等等。其余照此。

Now the reason of this signification of every Planet in such or such a Signe is this:

诸行星在这样那样的星座里有这种含义，道理是这样：

Every Planet in his owne House or Signe, governeth the Head; in the second Signe from his House, the Neck; in the the third Signe from his House, the Armes and Shoulders; and so successively through the twelve Signes: as ♄ in ♑ ruleth the Head, in ♒ the Neck, in ♓ Armes and Shoulders: so ♃ in ♐ ruleth the Head, in ♑ the Neck, in ♒ the Armes and Shoulders.

每颗行星在自己的庙即本座里主头；在从他的庙数起的第二个星座主颈；在从他的庙数起的第三个星座主臂与肩；如此依次走遍十二星座：如土星在摩羯主头，在水瓶主颈，在双鱼主臂与肩：同样，木星在射手主头，在摩羯主颈，在水瓶主臂与肩。

The ☽ observes the same order as the rest; yet the Arabians, from whom this learning is, doe allow her in ♈ the Head as well as the Knees: The Head, because Aries signifies so much: The Knees, because Aries is the ninth Sign from Cancer.

月亮也照其他行星一样的次序；不过这门学问所出自的阿拉伯人，在白羊既给她头，也给她膝：给头，因为白羊本来就主头：给膝，因为白羊是从巨蟹数起的第九个星座。

You may observe this in the marks of mans Body, and many other judgments, and make singular use of it; ever remembring this, the more the Signe is vitiated, the greater mole or scarre; or the neerer to an Azimene, Pitted or deficient degree of the Signe, the stronger is the deformity, sicknesse, &c.

你可以在人身上的痣记以及许多其他判断中看到这一点，并加以独到的运用；要始终记住：星座受损越重，痣或疤就越大；或者越接近星座的残缺、坑陷或有缺陷的度数，畸形、疾病等就越严重。

Considerations before Judgment.

判断前的考量。

All the Ancients that have wrote of Questions, doe give warning to the Astrologer, that before he deliver judgment he well consider whether the Figure is radicall and capable of judgment; the Question then shall be taken for radicall, or fit to be judged, when as the Lord of the hour at the time of proposing the Question, and erecting the Figure, and the Lord of the Ascendant or first House, are of one Triplicity, or be one, or of the same nature.

古来所有写过问题之学的人，都告诫星占家：在下判断之前，要好好考虑这张盘是否成立、是否可以判断；当提出问题、起盘之时的时辰主星，与上升主星即第一宫主星，属同一三方，或是同一颗星，或性质相同时，这个问题就算成立，即适合判断。

As for example; let the Lord of the houre be ♂, let the Signe of ♏ ♋ or ♓ ascend, this Question is then radicall, because ♂ is Lord of the hour, and of the Watry Triplicity, or of those Signes ♋ ♏ or ♓.

举例来说：设时辰主星是火星，上升的是天蝎、巨蟹或双鱼，这个问题就成立，因为火星是时辰主星，又是水象三方即巨蟹、天蝎、双鱼这几个星座的三方主。

Againe, let the Lord of the hour be ♂, and ♈ ascend, the Question shall be radicall, because ♂ is both Lord of the hour and Signe ascending.

再如，设时辰主星是火星，而上升白羊，问题就成立，因为火星既是时辰主星，又是上升星座的主星。

Let the Lord of the hour be ♂, and let the Signe ♌ ascend, here, although the ☉ is one of the Lords of the fiery Triplicity, and sole Lord of the Signe ♌, yet shall the Question be judged; because the ☉, who is Lord of the Ascendant, and ♂ who is Lord of the hour, are both of one nature, viz. Hot and Dry.

设时辰主星是火星，上升的是狮子，这里虽然太阳是火象三方的主星之一，又是狮子座的唯一主星，问题仍可判断；因为上升主星太阳与时辰主星火星性质相同，都是热而燥。

When either 00. degrees, or the first or second degrees of a Signe ascend (especially in Signes of short ascentions, viz. ♑ ♒ ♓ ♈ ♉ ♊, you may not adventure judgment, unlesse the Querent be very young, and his corporature, complexion and moles or scarres of his body agree with the quality of the Signe ascending.

如果上升的是星座的零度，或第一、第二度（尤其在上升时间短的星座，即摩羯、水瓶、双鱼、白羊、金牛、双子），你就不可贸然判断，除非问卜者非常年轻，而且他的体形、肤色、身上的痣或疤与上升星座的性质相合。

If 27, 28, or 29 degrees ascend of any Signe, it's no wayes safe to give judgment, except the Querent be in yeers corresponding to the number of degrees ascending; or unlesse the Figure be set upon a time certaine, viz. a man went away or fled at such a time precise; here you may judge, because it's no propounded question.

如果上升的是任何星座的二十七、二十八或二十九度，下判断就绝不安全，除非问卜者的年岁与上升的度数相应；或者除非这张盘是按某个确定的时刻起的，即某人在某个确切的时刻出走或逃跑；这时你可以判断，因为这不是提出来的问题。

It's not safe to judge when the ☽ is in the later degrees of a Signe, especially in ♊ ♏ or ♑; or as some say, when she is in Via Combusta, which is, when she is in the last 15 degrees of ♎, or the first fifteen degrees of ♏.

月亮在星座的末几度时，判断不安全，尤其在双子、天蝎或摩羯；或如有人所说，月亮在焦伤之途时也不安全，即她在天秤的后十五度或天蝎的前十五度时。

All manner of matters goe hardly on (except the principall significators be very strong) when the ☽ is voyd of course; yet somewhat she performes if voyd of course, and be either in ♉ ♋ ♐ or ♓.

月亮空亡时，一切事情都进展艰难（除非主要征象星非常有力）；不过她空亡时若在金牛、巨蟹、射手或双鱼，还是能成就一些。

You must also be wary, when in any question propounded you find the Cusp of the seventh house afflicted, or the Lord of that house Retrograde or impedited, and the matter at that time not concerning the seventh house, but belonging to any other house, it's an argument the judgment of the Astrologer will give small content, or any thing please the Querent; for the seventh house generally hath signification of the Artist.

你还必须小心：在任何提出的问题里，如果你发现第七宫宫头受损，或第七宫主星逆行或受阻，而那时所问之事又与第七宫无关，属于其他某宫，这就是星占家的判断不会让人满意、也不会让问卜者高兴的论据；因为第七宫一般主星占家。

The Arabians, as Alkindus and others, doe deliver these following rules, as very fit to be considered before a Question be judged.

阿拉伯人，如阿尔金迪等人，给出下面这些规则，认为在判断问题之前很适合加以考虑。

Viz. if ♄ be in the Ascendant, especially Retrograde, the matter of that Question seldome or never comes to good.

即：如果土星在上升，尤其是逆行，那个问题所问之事很少或从不会有好结果。

♄ In the seventh either corrupts the judgement of the Astrologer, or is a Signe the matter propounded will come from one misfortune to another.

土星在第七宫，要么败坏星占家的判断，要么表示所提之事会从一个不幸走到另一个不幸。

If the Lord of the Ascendant be Combust, neither question propounded will take, or the Querent be regulated.

如果上升主星被焦伤，所提的问题既不会成，问卜者也不会听从规劝。

The Lord of the seventh unfortunate, or in his fall, or Termes of the Infortunes, the Artist shall scarce give a solid judgment.

第七宫主星不吉，或在落，或在凶星的界里，星占家就很难给出可靠的判断。

When the testimonies of Fortunes and Infortunes are equal, deferre judgment, it's not possible to know which way the Ballance will turne: however, deferre you your opinion till another question better informe you.

吉星与凶星的证据相等时，要暂缓判断，因为不可能知道天平会往哪边倾斜：总之，先暂缓你的意见，等另一个问题让你知道得更清楚。
