卷二·第三十五章　搬迁还是留居

If good to remove from one house or place to another, or to stay or abide in any place or not ?

从一处房屋或地方搬到另一处好不好，或该不该留在某个地方？

SEE to the Lords of the ascendant, the fourth house and seventh house, for if the Lord of the fourth be in the seventh, and be a good Planet, and the Lord of the first and seventh be good Planets, or strong in that part of Heaven where they are, or in the whole Figure, if they be Direct, and of swift motion, and in aspect with good Planets, it is good then to abide still and not remove from the place where the Querent is ; but if the Lord of the seventh be with a good Planet, and the Lord of the fourth with an evill one, it is then not good to stay, for if he doe, he shall receive much damage there :

看上升、第四宫和第七宫的主星，因为若第四宫主星在第七宫，而且是一颗好行星，第一宫与第七宫的主星也是好行星，或在它们所在的那部分天空、或在整张盘里有力，若它们顺行、行速快，又与好行星成相位，那么最好还是留下，不要从问卜者所在的地方搬走；但若第七宫主星与一颗好行星同在，而第四宫主星与一颗凶星同在，那么留下就不好，因为若他留下，会在那里受到很大损害：

That which I have observed in this manner of Judgment was this ; That if the Lord of the ascendant did lately separate from the □ or ☍ of the Lord of the sixth,eighth or twelfth, and the ☽ also did concurre in judgment, viz. if she did separate from any evill aspect of the Infortunes, they being Lords of either the seventh or fourth, &c. and not Friends or Significators in the person of the Querent ; or if I found an Infortune in the ascendant, Peregrine or Retrograde, or if a Peregrine or unfortunate Planet was in the fourth, or if the Lord of the second was weak or ill posited, I advised the Querent to remove his Habitation, and gave him reason why he should; for if I found the Lord of the sixt house in the ascendant, or afflicting the Lord of the ascendant, I judged he had his health very bad there, was sickly, or was tormented with ill servants, by whose meanes he did not thrive in his Vocation.

我在这类判断中所观察到的是这样：若上升主星刚离开第六、第八或第十二宫之主的四分或对冲，而月亮也在判断上相合，即她刚离开凶星的任何凶相位，而这些凶星是第七或第四宫等的主星，又不是问卜者本人的朋友或征象星；或者若我发现一颗凶星在上升，游离或逆行，或一颗游离或受损的行星在第四宫，或第二宫主星虚弱或位置不好，我就劝问卜者搬家，并告诉他为什么该搬；因为若我发现第六宫之主在上升，或侵害上升主星，我就断定他在那里健康很差，多病，或受坏仆人折磨，因为他们，他在本业上不能兴旺。

If the Lord of the twelfth afflicted the Lord of the ascendant or the ☽, I said he had backbiting, evill or slanderous Neighbours, or people that lived not very farre from him did scandalize him ; if the Lord of the second was unfortunate, or in □ or ☍ to the Lord of the ascendant, or if ⊗ was in the twelfth eighth or sixth, I judged he went back in the world, and his Estate consumed.

若第十二宫之主侵害上升主星或月亮，我就说他有爱背后中伤、恶毒或诽谤的邻居，或住得离他不远的人在诋毁他；若第二宫主星受损，或与上升主星成四分或对冲，或福点在第十二、第八或第六宫，我就断定他在世上走下坡路，家产在耗损。

If his Significator, viz. if the Lord of the ascendant was [* Or the house stood not conveniently for his Trade.] [|| Or unfortunate.] afflicted by the Lord of the tenth, I acquainted him, his Reputation was lost, his Trade decayed, or had no Trading ; and if the Lord of the fourth was unfortunate, or the fourth house it selfe, I judged the house was unlucky, and few that had lived therein did thrive, or that the Repaires of the house had much weakned him * :

若他的征象星，即上升主星，［＊或者：那所房子不便于他做买卖。］［‖或作：不幸。］受到第十宫之主的侵害，我就告诉他，他的名声已失，生意衰落，或已没有生意可做；若第四宫主星受损，或第四宫本身受损，我就断定这所房子不吉利，住过的人很少兴旺，或房子的修缮大大削弱了他的财力＊：

If the Lord of the seventh afflicted the Lord of the ascendant or second, his overthwart Neighbours had all the Trade, were better furnished with Commodities, &c. Now in giving direction which way to steer his course, in hops of better Trading, I observed what Planet in the Scheame was most fortunate and strongest, and had the most friendly aspect either to the Lord of the ascendant or Lord of the second, look what quarter of Heaven the Signe that Planet was in did signifie, to that part did I ever advise the Querent to remove; and I remember not, that any ever repented their following my advise; many have afterwards returned me thanks and rewards.

若第七宫之主侵害上升主星或第二宫主星，他对门作对的邻居抢走了全部生意，货色比他齐备，等等。至于指点他该往哪个方向去，以期生意好些，我就看盘上哪颗行星最吉、最强，又与上升主星或第二宫主星有最友好的相位，看那颗行星所在的星座表示天空的哪一方，我总是劝问卜者往那一方搬；我不记得有谁因听从我的建议而后悔；许多人后来还向我致谢，送我酬劳。

And whereas I mention these words [perhaps the house was unluckie] some may cavill at the words, and say, God's blessing is alike in all places, and it's superstition to judge, a house that is not a living thing,can be made unsuccesfull, ||&c. let these enjoy their opinion still ; there's not a man in this world lesse superstitious then my selfe, yet what I have found by experience, I freely communicate, and doe remaine of this opinion ;

至于我提到的这些话［也许这房子不吉利］，有人或许会挑剔这句话，说：上帝的赐福在各处都一样，断言一所不是活物的房子会变得不顺遂，是迷信，‖等等。让这些人保留他们的意见吧；世上没有人比我更不迷信，但凡是我凭经验发现的，我都毫无保留地告诉人，而且仍持这样的看法；

That in what house any execrable facts are committed, the ministring Angels of God seeing the villany done in that house, and the dishonour done to God therein, doe accurse that place or house ; which continues so long, as there is not a full expiation made by some godly person, for the sinnes committed in that house; or untill the time limited by the angry Angel be expired, the house shall remaine a most unfortunate house for any to live in : And this which I write, and is inflicted upon houses which are insensible;

在哪一所房子里犯下了可憎的罪行，上帝的侍奉天使看到那所房子里所行的恶事，以及那里对上帝的不敬，就诅咒那个地方或那所房子；只要还没有某位虔诚的人为在那所房子里犯下的罪作完全的赎罪，这诅咒就一直持续；或者直到那位发怒的天使所限定的时间期满为止，那所房子对任何人来说都是住起来最不吉利的房子：我所写的这些，是加在无知觉的房屋上的；

I assuredly know is performed to the full upon the great and smaller Families of this world, &c. How in a naturall way to discharge these curses, Sunt sigilla & lamina quæ nec scripta sunt, & ego novi.

我确实知道，这也完完全全地应验在这世上大大小小的家族身上，等等。至于如何以自然的方式解除这些诅咒，有些印记与金属片，是从未见诸文字的，而我知道。

But some for resolution of this Question, say, if the ☽ separate at time of the Question from ♃ or ♀ , then stay ; if she separate from an Infortune, remove; or a Fortune in the ascendant bids you stay ; an Infortune remove : This heedfully considered with the preceding Judgment, will instruct any indifferent Astrologer to resolve the preceding Question concerning removing from one place to another.

但对这一问的解答，有人说，若问事时月亮离开木星或金星，就留下；若她离开凶星，就搬；或者，吉星在上升叫你留下，凶星在上升叫你搬：把这些与前面的判断仔细合参，任何一位中等水平的占星家都能解答前面这个问题，即从一处搬到另一处的问题。
