卷二·第三十七章　地下宝藏

Of Treasure lying hid in the Ground, or to be digged out of the Earth.

论藏在地下、或要从土里挖出来的宝藏。

THE resolution of this Question is various ; according to the nature of its proposall, or according to the nature and quality of the thing enquired after, viz. whether Money, Plate or Jewels,or things easily moveable, or for Treasure long since obscured or hid, the Querent not knowing what it is: or if it be, Whether there be any Mine of Gold, Silver or Iron, or any other Minerals in the Ground, Mannor or Lordship now questioned ; then it is requisite to know whether the Querent did hide or obscure this Treasure now enquired after, or whose it was, or what relation the party that did so had unto him, or whether that he aske in a generall way of Treasure hid, not being able to discover either when, where, or whose, or what it is ?

这个问题的解答方法不一：要看它是怎样提出的，或看所问之物的性质与种类，即：是钱、银器、珠宝，或容易搬动的东西，还是早已湮没、藏了很久的宝藏，问卜者并不知道是什么；又或者问的是，目前所问的这块地、这座庄园或领地里，有没有金矿、银矿、铁矿，或别的什么矿藏；那么就必须先弄清楚：现在所问的这份宝藏是不是问卜者自己藏起来的，或者原是谁的，藏它的人与问卜者是什么关系，或者他只是泛泛地问有没有藏着的宝藏，说不出是何时、何处、何人的，也说不出是什么？

If the Querent did hide his owne Plate, Money or Jewels in any part of his Ground, or in his house, and hath forgotten whereabouts, you must herein observe the Signe of the second house, the Lord thereof, what Signe and quarter of Heaven he is in, as also, the Signe of the fourth and his Lord, and what quarter of Heaven they signifie : the Lord of the second and of the fourth in Angles, the Plate is still in the house, or in the ground, and not removed; but if these Planets be not in Angles, but an Infortune, without dignities, be either in the fourth: or seventh, there's then either part of it, or all removed and made away; and if your Figure promise, that your Goods are not removed, to find in what part they are, have recourse to the first Chapter of this house concerning things hid, &c.

如果问卜者把自己的银器、钱或珠宝藏在自己田地的某处或家里，又忘了在哪儿，在这里你就要观察第二宫的星座、第二宫之主，看他在什么星座、天空的哪个象限，也要看第四宫的星座与第四宫之主，以及它们代表天空的哪个象限：第二宫之主与第四宫之主若在角宫，银器还在屋里或地里，没有被移走；但如果这两颗行星不在角宫，而有一颗毫无尊贵的凶星在第四宫或第七宫，那么东西就已有一部分或全部被移走、弄没了；如果你的盘显示你的财物没有被移走，要找出它们在哪个地方，请回头参看本宫第一章论藏起之物的那一章，等等。

If the Question be concerning Treasure absolutely, without knowledge whose or what it was, viz. whether there be any in the place or ground suspected, yea or no ; observe in the Figure whether ♃ or ♀ or ☊ be in the fourth house, there's then probability of Treasure being there; if they be there and in their owne houses, the matter is without dispute, and you may be sure there is Treasure, or something of value in the house or ground suspected ; or if you find either ♄ or ♂ in any of their owne houses, Direct, and without Impediment, and in the fourth, there is also Treasure, or if you find ♀ in ♉ in the fourth, not labouring with any misfortune, it's probable there is Treasure there, for you must know there is no Planet unfortunate, when he is in his owne house, or essentially dignified, and a Significator.

如果问的纯粹是宝藏，不知道是谁的、是什么，即：被怀疑的那个地方或那块地里，到底有没有宝藏；就在盘上看木星、金星或龙头是否在第四宫，若在，就有可能那里有宝藏；如果它们在那里，又在自己的庙里，那就毫无疑问，你可以确定被怀疑的那所房子或那块地里有宝藏，或有值钱的东西；或者如果你发现土星或火星在他们自己的任何一个庙里，顺行，没有受阻，又在第四宫，那也有宝藏；或者你发现金星在金牛，在第四宫，没有受什么不幸，那里就可能有宝藏，因为你必须知道，一颗行星在自己的庙里，或有必然尊贵，又是征象星的时候，就不算是凶星。

If you are ignorant of the nature and quality of the Treasure, or thing obscured, then see to the Planet who signifieth the Treasure, and consider if he be Lord of the seventh house, and examine his nature and property, if he be so ; if he be not Lord of the seventh, joyne the Lord of the seventh in judgment with him, and so frame a mixture for the quality of the thing.

如果你不知道这宝藏或所藏之物的性质与品类，就去看代表这宝藏的那颗行星，考虑他是不是第七宫之主，若是，就考察他的本性与特性；若他不是第七宫之主，就把第七宫之主与他合起来判断，这样调和出所藏之物的品质。

But if that Planet who is Significator of the Treasure be not Lord of the 7th or have affinity with him, then absolutely take the Lord of the seventh to signifie the nature and Species of the Treasure ; who if he be the ☉ , and he in his house or exaltation, there is Gold there, or precious Stones or Jewels of that colour, or neer to the colour of the ☉ .

但如果作为宝藏征象星的那颗行星既不是第七宫之主，与他也没有亲缘，那就干脆取第七宫之主来代表宝藏的性质与种类；他若是太阳，又在自己的庙或旺里，那里就有金子，或那种颜色、或近于太阳颜色的宝石或珠宝。

And if the Question were, Whether there were a good Mine yea or not ? the place considered, it's like there is ; if the ☉ be not so well dignified, and yet signifie the Treasure, it's then somewhat very precious, and neere to Gold in goodnesse.

如果问的是：有没有一处好矿？就所问的地方而论，很可能有；如果太阳的尊贵没有那么好，却仍代表宝藏，那就是某种非常珍贵、成色近于黄金的东西。

If the ☽ be in her owne house or exaltation, and be Lady of the seventh,the Treasure is Silver,Plate,Chrystal or Jewels,&c. of the colour she is of, &c.

如果月亮在她自己的庙或旺里，又是第七宫的女主星，宝藏就是银子、银器、水晶，或她那种颜色的珠宝等等。

If ♂ be Lord of the seventh, and so dignified, he shewes, the thing sought after may be Brasse or Glasse, or some Curiosities or Engines of Iron, &c. but if he be weak,perhaps you may find some old rusty Iron, Candlesticks, Kettles, &c. If the Question were about Iron-stone, its probable it will prove good Ironstone, and make good Iron.

如果火星是第七宫之主，又有如此的尊贵，他表示所找的东西可能是黄铜或玻璃，或某些铁制的精巧物件或器械等等；但如果他弱，你也许只会找到一些生锈的旧铁、烛台、壶锅之类。如果问的是铁矿石，很可能那会是好的铁矿石，能炼出好铁。

If ♄ be Lord of the seventh, and fortified as before specified, there's some Antiquities of great account, or ancient Monuments of men long since deceased, some Urne, &c. or there are some things wrapt up in old blacke Cloaths,or old woodden Boxes : and if the Question were concerning any Mine or quarrey of Stone, then it's very probable there is a rich Mine of Coles, if the Question were concerning Coles ; or of good Stone, if the Question were of it : but if ♄ be weak, and ill dignified, then neither is the Mine a rich one, or can it be wrought without much expence of Treasure ; whether it be full of water, or what may be the impediment, you must require from the Signe he is in, well considering what was formerly said in this Chapter.

如果土星是第七宫之主，又像上面说的那样得力，那里有某种很受重视的古物，或久已故去之人的古代墓碑，某个骨灰瓮等等，或者有些东西包在旧的黑布里，或装在旧木匣里：如果问的是某处矿或采石场，那么若问的是煤，很可能有一个富煤矿；若问的是好石料，就有好石料：但如果土星弱，尊贵不好，那矿就既不富，也非花大笔钱财不能开采；它是不是满是积水，或有什么别的阻碍，你必须从他所在的星座去推求，好好考虑本章前面所说的话。

If ♃ be Lord of the seventh and essentially fortified, there is Silver or very rich Cloth, and great store of it, or Tyn, &c.

如果木星是第七宫之主，又有必然的力量，那里有银子，或非常华贵的布料，数量很大，或者是锡等等。

If ♀ be Lady of the seventh, she intimates curious Houshold-stuffe, costly Jewels, or that fine Linnen is there hid.

如果金星是第七宫的女主星，她暗示那里藏着精巧的家什、贵重的珠宝，或上等的细麻布。

If ☿ be Significator, he prenotes some Pictures, Meddals, Writings, Books, some pretty Toyes are obscured, or are the Treasure looked after.

如果水星是征象星，他预示藏着的、或所找的宝藏是一些画、奖章、文书、书籍，或一些精巧的小玩意。

If the Querent shall obtaine the Treasure hid.

问卜者能否得到藏着的宝藏。

If the Planet who signifies the Treasure or thing hid, doth apply to the Lord of the ascendant, or if there be mutuall reception or translation, or collation of light and nature betwixt them, it's probable the Querent shall obtaine the matter sought after ; if the aspect be by □ or ☍ , then not without difficulty and much labour ; the ☌ of both Significators best of all performes the businesse, and the more assuredly, if they be in a fixed Signe, and posited in the Querents second house, or in the ascendant, either of the Luminaries placed in the ascendant and not unfortunated, gives great facility in the Work ; but if neither of them be in the ascendant, or behold it, but be both in cadent houses, there remaines little hopes in the matter :

如果代表宝藏或所藏之物的那颗行星入相于上升主星，或者两者之间有互相接纳，或有光线与性质的传递或收集，问卜者很可能会得到所找的东西；如果相位是四分或对冲，就不免要费些难处、出许多力；两颗征象星的会合最能成事，若它们在固定星座，又位于问卜者的第二宫或上升，就更确定；两光中任何一个在上升而不受克，会使这件事做起来非常顺利；但如果两光都不在上升，也不照看上升，而是都在果宫，这件事就没有多少希望了：

When ⊗ is in the ascendant, and also his Lord or Disposer, it promiseth acquisition of the Treasure:but if the Lord of ⊗ be cadent, and both the Lights, especially the ☽ , and have no aspect to the ⊗ , or the Lord of the ascendant behold not the ascendant, I can give the Querent then no hopes of obtaining the Treasure or thing hid: Alkindus giveth this generall rule concerning Treasure, or any thing obscured in the ground ;

福点在上升，福点之主即其定位星也在上升，就预示能得到宝藏：但如果福点之主在果宫，两光，尤其是月亮，也在果宫，又与福点毫无相位，或者上升主星不照看上升，我就不能给问卜者任何得到宝藏或所藏之物的希望：阿尔金迪关于宝藏，或任何埋在地下之物，给过这样一条通则；

Erect your Figure aright, consider the severall aspects of the Planets, if there be in the ascendant, or in any Angle a Fortune, say, there is Treasure in the ground, and that the thing hid is still in the ground, the quantity, price, esteem thereof, shall be according to the potency, vertue or debility of the Fortune.

把盘起正确，考虑诸星的各种相位，如果在上升，或在任何一个角宫里有一颗吉星，就说地下有宝藏，所藏之物仍在地下，它的数量、价值、贵重程度，要照那颗吉星的力量、德性或衰弱而定。

If you find the thing hid to be unremoved, then he proceeds and saith, Behold the Lord of the ascendant & the ☽ , if there be any good aspect betwixt them, and that Fortune which signified the Treasure to be there, viz. a good aspect and reception, he that demands the question shall then have the thing enquired after, &c.

如果你发现所藏之物没有被移走，他接着又说，看上升主星与月亮，如果它们之间有任何吉相位，又与那颗表示宝藏在那里的吉星有吉相位与接纳，那么提这个问题的人就会得到所问之物，等等。

He further saith, that fixed Signes shew the thing is hid in the Earth, common Signes in or neer a Wall, moveable Signes on high,or in the covering of houses: whether it lye deep in the earth or not, consider if the Planet Significator, be in the beginning, middle, or neer the end of the Signe ; if he be newly entred the Signe, the Commodity is not deep, but shallow, neer the upper part of the earth; the further the Planet is in the Signe, the deeper, &c. when you would dig, let not the Infortunes be angular, but if possible, the Significators applying by ⚹ or △ to the Lord of the second house, or the ☽ separating from the Significator of the Treasure, and applying to the Lord of your ascendant.

他又说，固定星座表示东西藏在土里，双体星座表示在墙里或靠近墙，启动星座表示在高处，或在房屋的屋顶里：要看它埋得深不深，就考虑那颗征象星是在星座的开头、中间，还是接近末尾；如果它刚进入那个星座，东西就不深，很浅，靠近地表；行星在星座里走得越远，就埋得越深，等等。你要挖的时候，不要让凶星居角，而是尽可能让征象星以六分或三分入相于第二宫之主，或让月亮离开宝藏的征象星，入相于你的上升主星。
