卷二·第三十四章　能否得到父亲的产业

If the Querent shall enjoy the Estate of his Father ?

问卜者能否得到他父亲的产业？

YOU must in this Question give the ascendant and Lord therof to the Querent ; the fourth house,Lord thereof and Planet posited in the fourth for the Significator of the Father; the personall Estate or Goods moveable of the Father, are signified by the fift house, his Lord, and any Planet accidentally placed in the fifth ; if in this Question you find the Lord of the second and Lord of the fifth in reception, the Lord of the fifth being in the second, and the Lord of the second in the fifth, there's no doubt to be made but the Querent shall have a competent fortune out of the Estate of his Father; but if it happen that the Lord of the fifth house be Retrograde, or in some bad aspect of any malevolent Planet, then some part of that Estate the Father intends for the Querent, will be wasted or otherwayes disposed of by the Father ; and if you enquire wherefore or upon what grounds, or who shall be the occasion of it ? then see what Planet it is that impedites the Lord of the fifth, either by □ or ☍ , or if it be the ☉ by Combustion, what house he is Lord of; if it be the Lord of the sixt, it's probable it is one of the Fathers Brothers or Sisters, or some of his Tenants or Neighbours that will perswade the Father to alter his intention, and to diminish part of what he did formerly intend to doe:

在这一问里，你必须把上升及其主星给问卜者；第四宫、其主星以及落在第四宫的行星，作父亲的征象星；父亲的动产或可移动的财物，由第五宫、其主星以及偶然落在第五宫的任何行星表示；若在这一问里你发现第二宫主星与第五宫主星互相接纳，第五宫主星在第二宫，第二宫主星在第五宫，那么毫无疑问，问卜者会从他父亲的产业里得到相当的一份；但若第五宫主星逆行，或受任何凶星的凶相位，那么父亲打算给问卜者的那份产业，会有一部分被父亲耗掉，或另作处置；你若要问为什么、出于什么缘故、谁会促成此事？就看是哪颗行星以四分或对冲妨害第五宫主星，若是太阳，就是以焦伤妨害，看它是哪一宫之主；若是第六宫之主，很可能是父亲的某位兄弟或姊妹，或他的某个佃户或邻居，会劝父亲改变主意，把他原先打算给的削减一部分：

If it be the Lord of the seventh, it is some Woman or Sweethart, or one the Querent hath been sometimes at variance with, that will withdraw the Parents intention : If it be the Lord of the twelfth, it's some sneaking Parson or Parish Priest, or some or other of the Mothers Kinred; now if upon the description of the Party, the Querent is well informed of him or her who it is, and he is desirous to obtaine this parties favour or good will, that so he may be lesse malicious unto him,let him then observe, when that Planet who impedites,and the Lord of the ascendant,are approaching to a ⚹ △ or ☌ ,and that day that in the Ephemeris he shall find the ☽ separating from the one, and applying to the other, let him, I say, about or at that time endeavour a reconcilement, and it's not to be doubted but he may obtaine his desires, as I have found many times by good experience.

若是第七宫之主，就是某个女人或情人，或问卜者曾与之不和的某人，会使父母收回心意：若是第十二宫之主，就是某个鬼鬼祟祟的牧师或教区神父，或母亲的某些亲戚；现在，若根据对此人的描述，问卜者清楚知道是他还是她，又想求得此人的好感或善意，使他对自己少些恶意，那么就让他观察，那颗施加妨害的行星与上升主星何时趋近六分、三分或会合，并在星历上找到月亮离开其中一颗、入相于另一颗的那一天，我是说，让他在那时或那时前后设法和解，毫无疑问，他能如愿以偿，这是我多次凭实际经验发现的。

If the Lord of the fift dispose of ⊗ , and be in the Ascendant or second, the Querent shall obtain his desires which he expects from his Father.

若第五宫主星是福点的定位星，又在上升或第二宫，问卜者会得到他期望从父亲那里得到的东西。

If ♃ or ♀ out of the fifth house cast their benevolent aspects to any Planet in the Querents second, it argues the same.

若木星或金星从第五宫向问卜者第二宫里的任何行星投出吉相位，也表示同样的事。

If the ☽ separate from the Lord of the fifth, and either have presently after a ⚹ or △ to the Lord of the second, or of the ascendant, it shewes strong and assured hopes of acquiring the thing demanded of the Father.

若月亮离开第五宫主星，随即与第二宫主星或上升主星成六分或三分，表示得到向父亲所求之物的希望很大，而且确定。

If you find an Infortune in the fourth, not having Dignities there, then you may say the Father hath little list to part with his Money, nor will it be good to move him much, untill that unfortunate Planet be transited out of that Signe; but if you cannot stay so long, observe when that unfortunate Planet is Direct, swift in Motion, Orientall, and in ⚹ or △ with ♃ or ♀ , or with the Lord of the ascendant, and then let the Father be moved in the businesse:

若你发现一颗凶星在第四宫，而在那里没有尊贵，那么你可以说，父亲不太愿意拿出他的钱，在那颗凶星行出那个星座之前，最好不要多去打动他；但若你等不了那么久，就观察那颗凶星何时顺行、行速快、东出，与木星或金星，或与上升主星成六分或三分，那时再向父亲提这件事：

This I write, where the Querent would have present meanes, and cannot conveniently stay the Fathers leizure: nor doe I write, that the observation of those times doe of themselves enforce the mind or will of the Father, but that then at those times there's more benevolent inclinations.

我写这些，是为那些想马上得到资助、不便等候父亲方便之时的问卜者：我也不是说，留意这些时机本身就能强迫父亲的心意或意志，而是说，在那些时候，父亲的心意更倾向于宽厚。

If you find the Lord of the second and of the fifth, applying by Retrogradation to any good aspect, the Querent will receive some Estate from his Father suddenly, ere he be aware, or when he least thinks of it: now to know, whether the Father love the Querent better then any of his Brothers or Sisters, you must observe, whether the Lord of the third, or any Planet in the third be neerer to, or in a better aspect with the Lord of the fourth, then the Lord of the ascendant is, or if there be any reception betwixt them, viz. the Significators of Brethren and Sisters, or translation of light, and none betwixt the Lord of the ascendant and Lord of the fourth, You may then be assured, the Fathers affection stands more to another then to the Querent ;the Planet neerest in aspect to the Lord of the fourth, shewes the party or person beloved, so doe the most powerfull reception of Significators.

若你发现第二宫主星与第五宫主星借逆行入相成任何吉相位，问卜者会在不知不觉、最意想不到的时候，忽然从父亲那里得到一些产业：至于要知道父亲是否爱问卜者胜过爱他的其他兄弟姊妹，你必须观察：第三宫主星或第三宫里的任何行星，是否比上升主星更靠近第四宫主星，或与第四宫主星成更好的相位，或它们之间，即兄弟姊妹的征象星与第四宫主星之间，有任何接纳或光线传递，而上升主星与第四宫主星之间却没有，若是，你就可以确定，父亲的感情更偏向别人而不是问卜者；离第四宫主星相位最近的那颗行星，表示那个受宠的人，最有力的征象星接纳也同样如此。
