卷二·第二十四章　访人在否、突发吉凶、身上痣记与不在者存亡

If one shall find the Party at home he would speak withall.

论去找某人说话，能否在家遇见他。

THE Ascendant and his Lord are for the Querent, the seventh house and his Lord for him you would speak withall; this is understood, if you goe to speak with one you familiarly deale withall, or are much conversant with, and is not allied unto you, &c. but if you would goe to speak with the Father, you must take the Lord of the fourth; if with the Mother, the Lord of the tenth; if the Father would speak with his Child, the Lord of the fifth, and so in the rest; vary your rule and it serves for all.

上升及其主星代表问卜者，第七宫及其主星代表你要去找他说话的那个人；这是指你去找一个平常打交道、或时常往来、而非亲属的人，等等。但如果你要去找父亲说话，就须取第四宫之主；找母亲，取第十宫之主；父亲要找孩子说话，取第五宫之主，其余依此类推；把规则变通一下，就样样适用。

If the Lord of the seventh house be in any of the four Angles, you may conclude the party is at home with whom you would speak with; but if the Lord of the seventh, or Lord of that house from whom Judgment is required, be in any Succedant house, viz. the eleventh, second, fifth or eighth, then he is not far from home; but if his Significator be in a Cadent house, then he is far from home.

如果第七宫之主在四个角宫中的任何一个，你可以断定，你要找的人在家；但如果第七宫之主，或所问那一宫的主星，在任何一个续宫，即第十一、第二、第五或第八宫，那么他离家不远；但如果他的征象星在果宫，那么他离家很远。

If you find the Lord of the Ascendant applying to the Lord of the seventh house by any perfect aspect, the same day that you intend to goe visit him, you may be assured either to meet him going to his house, or heare of him by the way where he is, for he cannot be farre absent; or if any Planet, or the Moon, separate from the Lord of the seventh house, and transferre his light unto the Lord of the Ascendant, he shall know where and in what place the Party is, by such a one as is signified by that Planet who transferres his light: describe the Planet, and it personates the Man or Woman accordingly:

如果你发现上升主星以任何完全相位入相于第七宫之主，那么在你打算去拜访他的那一天，你可以确信，要么在去他家的路上遇见他，要么在路上打听到他在哪里，因为他不可能离得很远；又或者，若有任何行星或月亮离开第七宫之主，把他的光传递给上升主星，那么问卜者会从那颗传光行星所代表的那种人口中，得知那人在何处、在什么地方：描述这颗行星，它就相应地化身为那个男人或女人：

But whether it will be Man or Woman, you must know by the nature of the Planet, Signe and quarter of Heaven he is in, wherein plurality of masculine Testimonies argue a man, the contrary a Woman.

但那是男是女，你必须从那颗行星的本性、所在的星座与天空的方位来判断，其中阳性证据占多数的主男子，反之主女子。

Of a thing suddenly happening, Whether it signifieth Good or Evill.

论突然发生之事，主吉还是主凶。

Erect your Figure of Heaven at what time the Accident happened, else when you first heard of it; then consider who is Lord of that Signe wherein the Sunne is, and the Lord of that Signe wherein the Moon is, and the Lord of the house of Life, which is ever the Ascendant, and see which of these is most powerfull in the Ascendant, let his position be considered, and if he be in ⚹ or △ with the ☉ ♃ or ♀, there will no evill chance upon the preceding Accident, Rumour or Report; but if you find that Planet weak in the Scheame, combust, or in □ ☍ or ☌ of ♂ ♄ ☿, there will some misfortune follow after that accident, in one kind or other; if you consider the Planet afflicting your Significator; his positure and nature, it may easily be discovered, in what nature the evill will chance or upon what occasion; as if the Lord of the third, from or by some Neighbour or Kinsman; if the Lord of the second impedite them, then losse in substance; if Lord of the fourth, expect discontent with one of your Parents, or about Land or Houses; if the Lord of the fifth, some difference or discord in an Alehouse or Taverne, or in Company keeping, or by meanes of some Child, &c. and so of the rest.

在事情发生的那一刻起盘，不然就在你最初听到它的那一刻起盘；然后看太阳所在星座的主星是谁，月亮所在星座的主星是谁，以及生命之宫（永远是上升）的主星，看这三者中哪一颗在上升最有力，考察它的位置；如果它与太阳、木星或金星成六分或三分，那么先前发生的事情、传闻或报道就不会招来任何凶祸；但如果你发现那颗行星在盘中虚弱、焦伤，或与火星、土星、水星成四分、对冲或会合，那么那件事之后就会跟着某种不幸，不论是哪一种；如果你考察那颗侵害你征象星的行星，看它的位置与本性，就能很容易地发现凶祸会以什么性质、因什么缘由降临；比如若是第三宫之主，就来自或由于某个邻人或亲戚；若是第二宫之主侵害它们，就是钱财上的损失；若是第四宫之主，可预期与父母中的一位不愉快，或为田地、房屋之事；若是第五宫之主，就是在酒馆、酒肆，或在交游中发生某种分歧或争执，或因某个孩子而起，等等，其余依此类推。

What Marke, Mole or Scarre the Querent hath in any Member of his Body.

问卜者身体哪个部位有什么记号、痣或疤。

I have many times admired at the verity hereof, and it hath been one maine argument of my engaging so farre in all the parts of Astrology, for very rarely you shall find these rules faile.

我曾多次惊叹此法之灵验，这也是我之所以如此深入钻研占星各个部分的一个主要缘由，因为你极少会发现这些规则失灵。

When you have upon any demand erected the querents Figure, consider the Sign ascending, what member of mans body it represents, and tell the querent he hath a Mole, Scar or marke on that part of his body represented by that Signe; as if the Signe ascending be ♉, it's on the Neck: if in ♊, on the Arms, &c. so also in each of the twelve Signes of the Zodiack the Lord of the Ascendant is in, and in that member represented by that Signe, he or she hath another.

无论为什么问题替问卜者起了盘，你都要看上升星座代表人体的哪个部位，告诉问卜者他身上那个星座所代表的部位有一颗痣、一道疤或一个记号；比如上升星座是金牛，就在颈上；若是双子，就在手臂上，等等；同样，上升主星落在黄道十二星座中的哪一个，那个星座所代表的部位，他或她也有另一颗。

Then observe the Signe descending on the Cusp of the sixt house, and what part of mans body it personates, for in that member shall you find another; so shall you discover another in that member which is signified by the Signe wherein the Lord of the sixt is.

然后看落在第六宫宫头的星座，它代表人体的哪个部位，那个部位你会找到另一颗；同样，第六宫之主所在星座所代表的部位，你也会发现另一颗。

Last of all, consider what Signe the Moon is in, and what -member of mans body it denotes, therein shall you also find a Mark, Mole or Scarre: if ♄ signifie the Mark, it's a darkish, obscure, black one; if ♂, then it's usually some Scarre or Cut if he be in a fiery Signe, or else in any other Signe, a red mole; and you must alwayes know, that if either the Signe, or the Planet signifying the Mole, Mark or Scarre, be much afflicted, the Mark or Scarre is the greater and more eminent.

最后，看月亮在什么星座，它代表人体哪个部位，那里你也会找到一个记号、痣或疤：如果土星代表这记号，那是暗沉、晦暗、发黑的；如果是火星，他若在火象星座，通常是一道疤或刀口，在其他星座则是一颗红痣；你还必须时时记住，代表这痣、记号或疤的星座或行星若受损严重，那记号或疤就更大、更显眼。

If the Signe be Masculine, and the Planet Masculine, the Mole or Scar is on the right side of the body.

如果那星座是阳性，那行星也是阳性，痣或疤就在身体的右侧。

The contrary judge, if the Signe be Feminine, and the Lord thereof in a Feminine Signe.

如果星座是阴性，其主星也在阴性星座，就作相反的判断。

If the Significator of the Scarre or Mole be above the earth, (that is, from the Cusp of the Ascendant to the Cusp of the seventh, as either in the twelfth, eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth or seventh) the Mark is on the fore part of the body, or visible to the eye, or on the out-side of the member; but if the Significator be under the earth, viz. in the first, second, third, fourth, fift, sixt, the Mole or Scarre is on the back part of the body, not visible, but on the inside of the member.

如果代表疤或痣的征象星在地平之上（即从上升宫头到第七宫宫头，也就是在第十二、十一、十、九、八或七宫），记号就在身体的前面，或看得见，或在那个部位的外侧；但如果征象星在地平之下，即在第一、二、三、四、五、六宫，痣或疤就在身体的后面，看不见，在那个部位的内侧。

If few degrees of a Signe doe ascend, or if the Lord of the Signe be in few degrees, the Mole, Mark or Scarre is in the upper part of the member; if the middle of the Signe ascend, or the Lord thereof in the middle, or neer the middle of the Signe, the Mole or Mark is so in the member, viz. in the middle: If the latter degrees ascend, or the Moon, or Lord of the first or sixt house be neer the last degrees of the Sign, the Mole, Mark or Scar is neere the lower part of the member.

如果上升的是一个星座的前几度，或该星座的主星在前几度，痣、记号或疤就在那个部位的上段；如果上升的是星座的中段，或其主星在星座的中段或接近中段，痣或记号也就在那个部位的中间：如果上升的是后几度，或月亮、第一宫或第六宫之主接近星座的末几度，痣、记号或疤就接近那个部位的下段。

If your Question be radicall, the time rightly taken, and the party enquiring be of sufficient age, or no Infant, you shall rarely find errour in this rule: I have many times upon a sudden in company, tryed this experiment upon some of the company, and ever found it true, as many in this City well know.

如果你的问题成立，时间取得正确，问的人年纪也够大、不是婴孩，你就极少会发现这条规则出错：我曾多次在席间突然拿在座的人试验，结果总是灵验，这城里许多人都很清楚。

In November and December, when Signes of short ascensions are in the Ascendant, you must be wary, for in regard many times the ☉ is not then visible, and Clocks may saile, it's possible you may be deceived, and misse of a right Ascendant, for ♓ and ♈ doe each of them ascend in the space of three quarters of an hour, and some few minutes; ♒ and ♉ in one hour and some odde minutes; but if you have the time of the day exact, you need not ever mistrust the verity of your Judgment: which will infinitely satisfie any that are Students herein, and cause them to take great pleasure in the Art, and make them sensible, that there is as much sincerity in all the whole Art of Astrologie, when it is rightly understood and practized, which at this day I must confesse it is by very few.

在十一月和十二月，上升的是上升时间短的星座时，你必须小心，因为那时太阳常常看不见，钟也可能不准，你有可能出错，取不到正确的上升；因为双鱼和白羊各自只要三刻钟又几分就升起了；水瓶和金牛要一个小时又几分；但如果你掌握了当天准确的时间，就绝不必怀疑你判断的真实：这会让每一位学此术的人无比满意，使他们在此术中得到极大乐趣，也让他们明白，整个占星之术，只要理解得当、操作得法，同样真实可靠；而如今，我必须承认，能做到这一点的人寥寥无几。

As these rules will hold certaine upon the body of every querent, and in every question, so will they upon the body of the quesited, (mutatis, mutandis;) as if one enquires somewhat concerning his Wife, then the Signe of the seventh house, and the Signe wherein the Lord of the seventh is, shall shew the Womans Marks; so shall the Signe upon the Cusp of the twelfth, for that is the sixth from the seventh, and the Signe wherein the Lord of the twelfth is in, shew two more Moles or Marks of the Woman.

这些规则在每一位问卜者身上、每一个问题里都确实可靠，在所问之人的身上也同样适用（作相应的变通）；比如有人问到他妻子的事，那么第七宫的星座和第七宫主星所在的星座，就显示那女人的记号；第十二宫宫头的星座也是如此，因为它是从第七宫数起的第六宫，再加上第十二宫主星所在的星座，又显示那女人另外两颗痣或记号。

Usually an Infortune in the Ascendant blemishes the Face with some Mole or Scarre according to his nature, for the first house signifies the Face, the second the Neck, the third the Armes and Shoulders, the fourth the Brest and Paps, the fifth the Heart, &c. and so every house and Signe in order, according to succession; for what Signe soever is in the Ascendant, yet in every Question the first house represents the Face: Many times if the ☽ be in ☌ or ☍ of the ☉, the querent hath some blemish or the like near one of his Eyes; and this is ever true, if the ☍ or ☌ be in Angles, and either of them have any ill aspect to Mars.

通常，凶星在上升，会按它的本性在脸上留下某颗痣或疤的瑕疵，因为第一宫主脸，第二宫主颈，第三宫主手臂和肩膀，第四宫主胸与乳，第五宫主心，等等，每一宫按次序与星座一一对应；因为不论上升的是什么星座，在每个问题里，第一宫都代表脸：月亮若与太阳会合或对冲，问卜者常在一只眼睛附近有某种瑕疵之类；如果这对冲或会合发生在角宫，而其中任何一方又与火星成凶相位，这一点总是应验。

Whether one absent be dead or alive.

论不在场的人是死是活。

If a Question be demanded of one absent in a generall way, and the querent hath no relation to the party; then the first House, the Lord of that House and the ☽ shall signifie the absent party; the Lord of the eight House or Planet posited either in the House or within five degrees of the Cuspe of the 8th House shall shew his death or its quality.

如果有人笼统地问起一个不在场的人，而问卜者与那人并无关系，那么第一宫、第一宫之主与月亮就代表那个不在场的人；第八宫之主，或位于第八宫内、或在第八宫宫头五度之内的行星，显示他的死亡或死法。

In judging this Question, see first whether the Lord of the Ascendant, the ☽ and Lord of the eight House or Planet in the eight house be corporally joyned together; or that the ☽ Lord of the Ascendant and Lord of the eight are in opposition either in the eight and second, or twelfth and sixt, for these are arguments the party is deceased, or sick, and very neer death.

判断这一问时，先看上升主星、月亮与第八宫之主或第八宫内的行星是否星体相会；或者月亮、上升主星与第八宫之主是否在第八与第二宫、或第十二与第六宫成对冲，因为这些是那人已经死去、或患病而濒临死亡的论据。

See also if there be any translation of the light of the Lord of the Ascendant unto the Lord of the eight, especially in degrees deepe, lame or deficient; or on the contrary, that there be any translation or carrying the vertue or influence of the Lord of the eight unto the Lord of the Ascendant; or if, the Lord of the eight be posited in the Ascendant, or if the Lord of the Ascendant and the ☽ be placed in the fourth House, these are testimonies the party absent is dead.

也要看是否有光线传递，把上升主星的光传给第八宫之主，尤其是在坑陷、残缺或亏缺的度数；或者反过来，把第八宫之主的力量或影响传递或带给上升主星；或者第八宫之主位于上升，或者上升主星与月亮位于第四宫：这些都是那个不在场的人已死的证据。

If the Lord of the Ascendant be seperated from a bad Aspect of the Lord of the sixt, you may say the absent hath been lately sicke; if from the Lord of the eight, he hath been in danger of death, but is not dead; if from the Lord of the twelfth, he hath been lately much troubled in minde, in feare of imprisonment, arrests, &c. if from the Lord of the second, he hath been hard put to it for money, or in distresse for want; if from the Lord of the seventh, in some quarrell or contention; if from the Lord of the ninth or third, he hath been crossed in his journey (if he was at Sea by contrary windes, or Pyrats) if at Land by Theeves, bad Wayes, &c. and so of the rest.

如果上升主星刚离开第六宫之主的凶相位，你可以说那不在的人最近病过；若是离开第八宫之主，他曾有性命之危，但没有死；若是离开第十二宫之主，他最近心中十分烦恼，怕坐牢、被捕等等；若是离开第二宫之主，他曾为钱所困，或因匮乏而窘迫；若是离开第七宫之主，他曾卷入某场争吵或纠纷；若是离开第九或第三宫之主，他的旅途曾受阻（若在海上，是遇到逆风或海盗），若在陆上，是遇到盗贼、路况恶劣等等，其余依此类推。

In judging this question, I have ever found, that if the Lord of the Ascendant be in the ninth, tenth, or eleventh (though many reports went the absent was dead) yet I found him to live. Now if you finde the absent alive, and you would know, when happily you may heare of him; see in your Ephemerides when the Lord of the eleventh and Lord of the Ascendant come to a △ or ⚹ Aspect, and about that time, if not that day, newes will be had of him; or if the ☽ apply to a ⚹ or △ of the Lord of the Ascendant, see how many degrees shee wants of the Aspect, and give dayes, weekes or moneths, viz. For every degree in moveable Signes a day, in common Signes weekes, in fixed Signes moneths.

判断这一问时，我历来发现，如果上升主星在第九、第十或第十一宫（尽管许多传言说那不在的人已死），我却发现他还活着。如果你判断那不在的人还活着，又想知道大概什么时候可能听到他的消息，就在星历里查第十一宫之主与上升主星何时成三分或六分，大约那时，若不是正好那天，就会有他的消息；或者，若月亮入相于上升主星的六分或三分，看她离成相还差多少度，就给出那么多天、周或月，即：在启动星座，每度一天；在双体星座，每度一周；在固定星座，每度一个月。
