卷二·第二十五章　一盘四解：儿子在否、突发吉凶、痣记与存亡

Viz. A Woman being at my House in the Country, demanded if her Sonne were with his Master, or at her owne House.

即：一位妇人在我乡下的住处，问她的儿子是在他师傅那里，还是在她自己家里。

IN this Figure ♀ is Lady of the Ascendant, and shall signifie her that asked the Question; the matter, quesited after must be required from that house which signifieth Children, and that is the fifth: I considered ♃ who is Lord of the Signe ♓, for ♓ is the house of ♃, and I found ♃, the Youths Significator, in the Angle of the East, or Ascendant; one argument, that the Party sought after was at home at his Mothers house at time of the Question:

在这张盘里，金星是上升的女主星，代表问这问题的她；所问之事须从主子女的那一宫去求，那就是第五宫：我考察木星，他是双鱼这个星座的主星，因为双鱼是木星的庙，我发现木星，即这少年的征象星，在东方之角即上升：这是所找之人在问卜之时正在他母亲家里的一条论据：

I observed further, that the ☽ did apply to a ⚹ dexter of ♄, Lord of the fourth house, which signifies the house or dwelling place of the Querent: from which two testimonies, I judged the Youth was at his Mothers, and that she should find him there at her comming home, as indeed she did: now had I found ♃, Lord of the ff, in the tenth, because that is the house which signifies the Master, or had the ☽ separated from ♃, Significator of the Youth, and presently applyed to a good or indifferent aspect of the ☉, & she, viz. ☽ been in an Angle, I would have adjudged him at his Masters house, &c.

我又观察到，月亮正入相于土星的右方六分，土星是第四宫之主，第四宫代表问卜者的房屋或住处：凭这两条证据，我判断这少年在他母亲那里，她回家时会在那里找到他，后来果然如此：假如我发现第五宫之主木星在第十宫，因为那是代表师傅的宫，或者月亮离开少年的征象星木星，随即入相于太阳的吉相位或不吉不凶的相位，而她，即月亮，又在角宫，我就会判断他在师傅家里，等等。

I did further consider that the 25. of July following, at two hours after noon, ♃ and ♀, being both their Significators, viz. both the Mothers & the Sons came to a △ aspect, and therfore I judged she should see him that very day, but hardly any sooner, or before;

我又进一步考虑到，随后的七月二十五日，午后两点，木星与金星，即他们二人的征象星，母亲的与儿子的，将成三分相，因此我判断她就在那一天会见到他，但很难更早、或在那之前；

(and indeed she staid in the country till that very morning; but whē the strength of the influence grew powerfull, and as well her Significatrix, as his, were so neer their perfect aspect, she could not be induced to stay any longer, and so (volens nolens) went awy, and it was about three in the afternoon the same day before she could get home, where she found her Sonne in her owne house, abiding her comming; for usually about that day when the Significators come to a ⚹ or △ aspect (which you may know by your Ephemeris) it's very probable you shall have a Letter, or newes of the Party quesited after (if the distance of places betwixt you can afford it,) but if the Party enquiring, and Person inquired after be not farre asunder, without question they meet that very day, though neither of them formerly thought any such matter.

（她果然在乡下一直待到那天早上；但当这影响的力量变强，她的女征象星与他的征象星都已如此接近完全相位时，她再也劝留不住，于是（不管情愿与否）就走了，直到当天下午三点左右才回到家，在自己家里见到儿子正等着她回来；因为通常在征象星成六分或三分的那一天前后（你可以从星历中查知），你很可能会收到所问之人的信或消息（若你们之间的路程允许的话），但如果问的人与被问的人相距不远，毫无疑问他们就在那一天相见，尽管双方事先都没想到会如此。

Had this Woman enquired, if she should have found a Neighbour or Brother or Sister at home, or not;

假如这妇人问的是，她能否在家见到一位邻人，或兄弟、姊妹；

You must have taken signification from ♃, who is Lord of the third house; for you may see in the signification of the Houses, pag. 52. that the third house signifieth Brethren, Sisters, Kinred and Neighbours; you might safely have adjudged, she should have found any one of these at home, because ♃ their Significator is in an Angle.

你就须从木星取象，他是第三宫之主；因为你可以在第五十二页各宫所主中看到，第三宫代表兄弟、姊妹、亲族与邻人；你可以放心判断，这些人中无论哪一个，她都会在家见到，因为他们的征象星木星在角宫。

But if she had enquired, whether she should have found a Party at home, yea or not, to whom she had no relation, but as to a stranger; then ♂ the Lord of the seventh, had been his Significator, whom I find to be in the Signe of ♐, and in the second house of heaven, for wanting more then five degrees of the Cusp of the third, he is not admitted to have signification in that house.

但假如她问的是，能否在家见到某个与她毫无关系、只是个陌生人的人；那么第七宫之主火星就是他的征象星，我发现火星在射手，在天空的第二宫，因为他离第三宫宫头还差五度多，就不算在那一宫有意义。

In the first place therefore, I find ♂ in the second house, and in a Northerne quarter of Heaven, (for from the Cusp of the fourth house to the Cusp of the first, or Ascendant, is so, as you may see pag. 48.) next I find ♂, who is Significator of the Party with whom shee would speak with, is in ♐, which is an Easterly Signe, as you may see pag. 97.

所以首先，我发现火星在第二宫，在天空的北方象限（因为从第四宫宫头到第一宫宫头即上升，就是北方，你可以看第四十八页）；其次，我发现她要找来说话的那人的征象星火星在射手，那是一个东方星座，你可以看第九十七页。

Being ♂ is not in an Angle, I say he is not at home; the second house wherein he is being a Succedant, I say he is not far from home.

火星既不在角宫，我就说他不在家；他所在的第二宫是续宫，我就说他离家不远。

The quarter of Heaven wherein at present he is, is Northeast, for so Signe and quarter import.

他眼下所在的天空方位是东北，因为星座与象限都这样表示。

His distance from home may be a Furlong, or a Close or two, because his Significator is in a Succedant house.

他离家的距离也许是一浪，或一两块围地，因为他的征象星在续宫。

The quality of the place or ground where you may expect to find him, must be judged from the Signe wherein ♂ his Significator is, viz. ♐, a fiery Signe; what manner of place that Signe signifies, see in pag. 98. and you shall there find, it represents in the Fields, Hils, or Grounds that rise a little: so that the Party enquired after being absent, you must direct a messenger to find him, in such or such a Ground, or part of the Ground, as is of the nature and quality described, and butting or lying to that quarter of Heaven, as is formerly directed, viz. North-east.

你可望在什么样的地方或地面上找到他，必须从他的征象星火星所在的星座射手来判断，那是火象星座；那个星座代表什么样的地方，见第九十八页，你会在那里看到，它代表田野、山丘或略微隆起的地面：所以所问之人既不在家，你就该指点一个送信人，到具有上述性质特征、又朝着或位于前面所说的天空方位即东北的某块地、或某块地的某处去找他。

But had it been so, that you were informed, the man was in a Towne, and not in the Fields, then enquire in the Towne neer to some Smiths or Butchers shops, or the like, being North-east from his house, for you may read ♂ delights in such places, see pag. 68.

但假如有人告诉你，那人在镇上，不在田野里，那就到镇上他家东北方、靠近铁匠铺或肉铺之类的地方去打听，因为你可以读到，火星喜欢这类地方，见第六十八页。

Of a Thing suddenly happening, whether good or ill, Resolution thereof by the last Figure.

论突然发生之事是吉是凶，用上面那张盘来解答。

Let us admit the Figure preceding to be set upon such an occasion; the ☉ is here Lord of the Signe wherein he is; ♃ is Lord of ♓, the Signe wherein the ☽ is, ♀ is Lady of the Ascendant, or house of Life; ♀ is here most powerfull in the Ascendant, ♎ being her house, and she having a Terme therein, and casting her △ Sinister unto the Cusp of the house; as also, being in △ with ♃, and he in the Ascendant; from hence one might have safely judged, had this been the very time of a sudden accident, or thing done, that it could not have redounded to the Querent's disadvantage, but rather good:

让我们假设前面那张盘是为这样一件事而起的；这里太阳是他所在星座的主星；木星是双鱼的主星，月亮在双鱼；金星是上升即生命之宫的女主星；在这里，金星在上升最有力，因为天秤是她的庙，她在那里又有一个界，并把她的左方三分投向那一宫的宫头；同时她又与木星成三分，而木星在上升；由此可以放心判断，假如这正是某件突发之事或某件所做之事的时刻，它不会对问卜者不利，反而是好事：

Now had ♀ been neerer to the ☍ of ♂, he being in the second, which signifies Riches, I should have judged the Querent would have received some losse shortly; and so of the rest; or some falling out about Moneys.

假如金星更接近火星的对冲，而火星在主财富的第二宫，我就会判断问卜者不久会受到某种损失；其余依此类推；或者为钱的事闹翻。

What Marks the Querent had.

问卜者有什么记号。

I find the 25. of ♎ ascending, and ♃ in the Ascendant; which as I acquainted you, signified the Face; this Querent had a Wart or Mole on the right side of her Face, neer her Mouth, for ♃ is masculine, so is the Signe ♎; and as the later degrees of ♎ ascend, so the Querent confessed a Mole on the lower part of her Reines, towards the Hanches; ♈ being the Signe of the sixth, shewed she had one on the Fore-head, neer the Haire, for you see the Cusp of the house is but four degrees; ♂ Lord of ♈, being in a masculine Sign, viz. in ♐ but under the earth, shewed a Mole on the right Thigh, towards the middle of it, on the back part, or that part which is not visible; the ☽ being in ♓; viz. 26 deg. 43 min. in a Feminine Signe, and under the Earth, I told her she had one Mole under her Foot, towards the extremity of her left Foot.

我发现上升的是天秤二十五度，木星在上升；正如我告诉过你的，上升代表脸；这位问卜者在脸的右侧、靠近嘴边有一颗疣或痣，因为木星是阳性，天秤星座也是阳性；又因为上升的是天秤的后几度，所以问卜者承认在她腰的下部、靠近胯骨处有一颗痣；第六宫的星座是白羊，显示她在额头上、靠近发际处有一颗，因为你看到那一宫的宫头只有四度；白羊的主星火星在阳性星座，即射手，但在地平之下，显示右大腿中段的后面、即看不见的那一面有一颗痣；月亮在双鱼，即二十六度四十三分，在阴性星座，又在地平之下，我就告诉她，她脚底下有一颗痣，靠近左脚的末端。

The Quesited party being her Sonne, had ♓ the ninth degr. for his Ascendant, which denoted a Mole on the left side of his Cheek; and as ♓ signifies the Foot, so he had one on the left Foot, a little below the Ancle, for you see few degrees ascend. The sixt house from the fift, is the tenth in the Figure, where you see ♌ 4 deg. which signified, that neer his right Side, below his Brest, he had some Scarre, Mole or Marke, &c. follow these Directions, and they are sufficient Instructions in this kind of Judgment.

所问之人是她的儿子，以双鱼九度为他的上升，这表示他脸颊左侧有一颗痣；又因为双鱼主脚，所以他在左脚上、略低于脚踝处有一颗，因为你看到上升的度数不多。从第五宫数起的第六宫，就是盘上的第十宫，你看到那里是狮子四度，这表示在他右侧、胸下有某道疤、痣或记号，等等。照这些指示去做，对这一类判断就是足够的教导了。

Whether one absent be dead or alive, by the preceding Scheame of Heaven.

论不在的人是死是活，用前面这张天象盘来判断。

In the Figure abovelaid, let us admit the Question to have been demanded for one absent:

在上面所列的盘里，让我们假设问题是为一个不在的人而问的：

The Ascendant ♎, ♃ therein, ♀ and ☽ are Significators of the absent Party.

上升天秤、在其中的木星、金星与月亮，是那不在之人的征象星。

The ascending Signe manifests his Stature, ♃ gives comlinesse unto it, ♀ ♃ and ☽ argue his Conditions.

上升星座显示他的身材，木星使身材匀称好看，金星、木星与月亮显示他的性情。

Neither is the ☽ or Lord of the Ascendant joyned to any Planet in the eight by ☌ but are all free from the malignant beams and aspects of the Lords of the 8th or 6th, or is the Lord of the Ascendant or the ☽ in ☍ with the Lord of the eighth.

月亮或上升主星都没有与第八宫内任何行星会合，而是都不受第八或第六宫之主的恶毒光线与相位所害，上升主星或月亮也没有与第八宫之主成对冲。

Or is there translation of light from the Lord of the eighth to the Lord of the Ascendant, or is the Lord of the eighth in the Ascendant, but a Benevolent Planet, or is ☽ or the Lord of the Ascendant in the fourth house: I should therefore pronounce the absent in health; but because ♀ Lady of the Ascendant, had not many dayes before been in ☍ with ♂, who is Lord of the second and sixt.;

也没有从第八宫之主到上升主星的光线传递，在上升的也不是第八宫之主，而是一颗吉星，月亮或上升主星也不在第四宫：所以我会宣告那不在的人身体健康；但因为上升女主星金星不多天前曾与火星成对冲，而火星是第二与第六宫之主；

I should adjudge he had been lately discontented for want of Money, and also inclinable to a Feaver; but by ♃ his positure in the Ascendant, and his △ to ♀, I should judge Medicine, or such a one as ♃ had relieved him: and because ☿ Lord of the eleventh, applies to a □ of ♃ in the Ascendant, both of them being in Signes of long ascensions, which is equivalent to a △, I should judge the Querent to have newes of the absent about ten weeks from the time of the Question, because ☿ wants ten degrees of the □ of ♃; if the absent be known to be at a neer distance, I would have said in ten dayes they should heare of him, because the Signes are moveable.

我就会判断他最近曾因缺钱而不快，也有发热的倾向；但凭木星位于上升，以及他与金星的三分，我会判断有药物、或某个木星性质的人缓解了他的病：又因为第十一宫之主水星入相于上升中木星的四分，两者都在上升时间长的星座，这相当于三分，我会判断问卜者在问卜之后约十周会得到那不在之人的消息，因为水星离与木星成四分还差十度；如果知道那不在的人就在不远处，我会说十天之内他们就会听到他的消息，因为星座是启动星座。
