Other Judgements concerning Womens being with chide or not.

论妇人是否怀孕的其他判断。

Whether a Woman be with Childe or not.

妇人是否怀孕。

WHEN a Woman asks this Question, have respect to the Lord of the ascendant and the ☽ who shall signifie the person of the Querent,the fifth house and Lord thereof shall shew the Conception, if any be : If the Lord of the ascendant be in the fifth, or Lord of the fifth in the ascendant, free from all manner of impediments, it argues the Woman is conceived with child ; so also if the Lord of the ascendant his vertue or disposition be translated to any Planet in an Angle, the more certaine you may judge ; if he to whom the Lord of the ascendant commits his Disposition, be received of the Lord of the ascendant, or the Lord of the ascendant by him ; but if the Planet to whom the Lord of the ascendant hath committed his Disposition, be in a cadent house, it notes the Woman hath taken griefe ; and whereas she thinks she may be conceived of a Child, it's more like to be a Sicknesse ; and if the Conception should hold, 'twill come to no good end, especially if the ascendant be ♈ or ♋ , ♎ or ♑ , or if any of the malevolent Planets be in an Angle, or else ☋ , for usually ☋ in the fifth, shewes abortion, in the ascendant extreame feare and mistrust of it; but if the ponderous Planet to whom the Lord of the ascendant commits his Disposition be in a good house, viz. in the second, eleventh or ninth, not in ☌ with the Infortunes, and the ☽ be free, it notes the Conception shall come to a good end, and the Woman safely delivered: so as also if the Lord of the fifth, who is naturall Significator of children, be in the ascendant free from misfortune, viz. Retrogradation or Combustion, or not with ☋ .

妇人问这个问题时，要看上升主星与月亮，由他们代表问卜者本人；第五宫及其主星表示受孕，若有的话：若上升主星在第五宫，或第五宫主星在上升，没有任何一种阻碍，就表明这妇人已经怀孕；同样，若上升主星把他的力量或处置传给一颗在角宫的行星，你就可以判断得更确定；若上升主星交付其处置的那颗星被上升主星接纳，或上升主星被他接纳，也是如此；但若上升主星交付其处置的那颗行星在果宫，就表示这妇人得了病；她以为自己怀了孩子，其实更可能是病；即使怀上了，也不会有好结果，尤其若上升是白羊或巨蟹、天秤或摩羯，或有哪颗凶星在角宫，或者是龙尾，因为龙尾在第五宫通常表示流产，在上升则表示对此极度的恐惧与疑虑；但若上升主星交付其处置的那颗重星在好宫，即在第二、第十一或第九宫，不与凶星会合，月亮又无损，就表示这胎会有好结果，妇人会平安分娩：同样，若第五宫主星这颗子女的自然征象星在上升，无灾无损，即不逆行、不焦伤，也不与龙尾同在，也是如此。

If a Woman doe Conceive with Childe of more then one ?

妇人一胎是否怀了不止一个？

To resolve this Question, see if either ♊ ♍ ♐ or ♓ be ascending, then see if both ♃ and ♀ be in the Signe ascending,or in the Signe of the fifth, or be in any of the twelve Signes (except ♌ ) it's probable she goeth with two children ; and if the ☊ be with ♃ and ♀ in the ascendant or fifth, it's possible she may have three; but if none of these be in the ascendant or fifth, behold if these Planets cast their ⚹ or △ to the degree ascending, or to the cusp of the fifth house ; it's also probable she may conceive, or is with child with more then one : but if a fixed Signe possesse the ascendant or fifth house,or any moveable Signes, and the ☉ and ☽ be therein, viz, either in fixed or moveable Signes, and in the fifth or first house, it's a certain argument the Woman is with child but with one :

要解答这个问题，看双子、处女、射手或双鱼是否在上升，再看木星与金星是否都在上升星座，或在第五宫的星座，或在十二个星座中的任何一个（狮子除外），这样她很可能怀着两个孩子；若龙头与木星、金星一同在上升或第五宫，她有可能怀三个；但若这几颗星都不在上升或第五宫，就看它们是否以六分或三分照上升度数，或照第五宫宫头；这样也很可能怀上、或已怀着不止一个：但若固定星座占据上升或第五宫，或是启动星座，而太阳和月亮在其中，即在固定或启动星座里，又在第五宫或第一宫，这就是确定的论据，表示这妇人只怀一个孩子：

The Astrologer must not rashly adventure his Judgment without well considering his rules, or without knowledge had, whether, it be not naturall or usuall for some of her Family to bring at one Birth more then one.

星占家不要不好好考虑自己的规则就贸然下判断，也不要在不知道她家族中是否天生、或常有人一胎生下不止一个的情况下贸然下判断。

If Male or Female.

是男是女。

See to the ascendant, the Lord that Signe, the Signe of the fifth and Lord of the fifth, and whether the Signes be ♈ ♊ ♌ ♎ ♐ ♒ ; these Signes import a Male, the other six Signes a Female: If the Lord of the ascendant be in a Masculine Signe, and the Lord of the fifth in a Feminine, then have recourse to the ☽ , and see what Signe she is in, and if she apply to a Planet in a Masculine Signe, then she gives her testimony to that Significator who is in a Masculine Signe, and you may judge the party is with child of a Boy or Man-child.

看上升、该星座之主、第五宫的星座与第五宫主星，看这些星座是否是白羊、双子、狮子、天秤、射手、水瓶；这些星座主男，另外六个星座主女：若上升主星在阳性星座，第五宫主星在阴性星座，就转而求助于月亮，看她在什么星座，若她入相于一颗在阳性星座的行星，她就把证词给了那颗在阳性星座的征象星，你可以判断此人怀的是男孩。

[Masculine Planets.] Masculine Planets are ever ♄ ♃ ♂ and ☉ , ♀ and the ☽ Feminine, and ☿ as he is in aspect or ☌ with a Masculine or Feminine Planet, so is he of either sex accordingly ; but when he is Orientall of the ☉ , he is reputed Masculine; when Occidental, then Feminine.

［阳性行星。］土星、木星、火星和太阳总是阳性行星，金星和月亮是阴性，水星则看他与阳性还是阴性行星有相位或会合，就相应地属于那一性；但他在太阳之东时，被视为阳性；在太阳之西时，则为阴性。

How long the Woman hath been Conceived ?

妇人怀孕多久了？

In this case have regard to the ☽ and the Lord of the fifth, and Lord of the hour, and see which of all these is neerest from the separation of any Planet, and well consider him, and from what manner of aspect this separation is ; if he be separated by a △ aspect, say, she is in the fifth moneth of her Conception, or the third ; if the aspect was a ⚹ , say, she is in the second or sixt moneth of her conception ; if the separation was by a □ aspect, she is in the fourth of her Conception ; if it was by an Opposition, she hath been Conceived seven moneths, if it were by a Conjunction, then she hath beene Conceived one moneth.

这种情况要看月亮、第五宫主星与时辰主星，看这几颗星中哪一颗离开某颗行星最近，好好考虑它，以及这次离相是以哪一种相位离开的；若是以三分相离开，就说她怀孕已到第五个月，或第三个月；若相位是六分，就说她在怀孕的第二或第六个月；若是以四分离开，她在怀孕的第四个月；若是对冲，她已怀孕七个月，若是会合，她怀孕一个月。

Of the time when the Birth will be ?

分娩在什么时候？

In judging about what time the Querent may be delivered, you are to consider, When ♂ ana ☉ are in ☌ with the Lord of the fifth, and with the ☽ and Lord of the houre, or the more part of them, and that time of their ☌ shall shew the hour of Birth ; help your selfe herein by that Fortune which in the Question shall behold the Part of Children, viz. when he shall apply to that Quarter of Heaven where the Part of Children is, and direct that Part of Children, by the ascensions to the degree of the fifth house, and to the degree of ♃ , and to his aspects, especially if ♃ be between the Part of Children and the fift house, because when that Part doth apply it self to the degrees of ascensions, and when it is within the Orbes of those degrees, is the time of delivery, giving to every degree one day.

判断问卜者大约何时分娩，你要考虑：火星与太阳何时与第五宫主星会合，并与月亮和时辰主星会合，或与其中大部分会合，它们会合的那个时刻就表示分娩的时辰；在这一点上，你可借助在这一问中照子女点的那颗吉星，即当它入相于子女点所在的那个天空象限时，再把子女点以上升时间推运到第五宫的度数、木星的度数和木星的相位上，特别是若木星在子女点与第五宫之间，因为当子女点趋近那些上升度数、进入那些度数的容许度之内时，就是分娩之时，每一度给一天。

Behold also the Disposition or application of that Planet to whom the Part of Children is directed, before the ☌ of the Lord of the fifth with the Lord of the ascendant, in the ascendant or in the fifth house, because about that time will be the time of birth.

还要看子女点所推向的那颗行星，在第五宫主星与上升主星在上升或第五宫会合之前，有什么处置或入相，因为大约在那时就是生产之时。

See also when the Significator of the Question doth change his forme, viz. when he removes out of one Signe into another, then is also like to be the time of the Birth : or behold the Lord of the fifth, how farre he is removed from the cusp of the fifth, and give to every Signe one moneth, and help your selfe with your other testimonies, and judge according to the major part of those Significators that doe most neerly concurre.

还要看这一问的征象星何时改变形态，即何时从一个星座移入另一个星座，那时也可能是生产之时：或看第五宫主星离第五宫宫头有多远，每一个星座给一个月，再用你其他的证据来帮助，按那些最为吻合的多数征象星来判断。

The Part of Children is taken day and night from ♂ to ♃, and projected from the ascendaut.

子女点不分昼夜，都从火星量到木星，再从上升投出。

Whether the Birth shall be by day or by night?

分娩是在白天还是夜里？

In this manner of Judgment, behold the ascendant and his Lord, the Moon, Planet in the ascendant, Lord of the fifth, Sign of the fifth ; if the major part of the Significators be in Diurnall Signes, the Birth will be by day ; if the contrary happen, then in the night.

这种判断要看上升及其主星、月亮、上升里的行星、第五宫主星、第五宫的星座；若这些征象星大多在昼性星座，就在白天生；若相反，就在夜里。

If the Significators disagree amongst themselves, take him that is Essentially most strong, and judge by him ; or else consider the number of degrees that the Planet you judge by is distant from the cusp of the fifth house, so many degrees as is their distance each from other, doe you project from the degree ascending, and see where your number determines ; and if it end in a Diurnall Signe, shee will be brought to bed by day ; if contrary then in the night : by this meanes also you may judge of the quality of the Sex, by considering the Lord of the fifth, the Moone the Lord of the Houre, and the Part of Children before mentioned, and his Dispositor; if the major part hereof be in Masculine Signes, its a Male the Woman goes with, and the birth will be by day; but if the testimonies be equall, the birth will be by twilight.

若诸征象星彼此意见不一，就取必然尊贵最强的那一颗，照它来判断；或者考虑你据以判断的那颗行星离第五宫宫头的度数，它们彼此相距多少度，你就从上升度数起投出多少度，看你的数落在哪里；若落在昼性星座，她会在白天生产；若相反，就在夜里：用这个方法你也可以判断胎儿的性别，即考虑第五宫主星、月亮、时辰主星和前面说的子女点，以及子女点的定位星；若其中大多在阳性星座，妇人怀的就是男孩，生产会在白天；但若证据相等，就在黄昏或黎明时分生产。

☞ Some say, if the Question be, Whether a Woman be with Childe or not ; consider the Lord of the Ascendant, Lord of the fifth, and Dispositor of the Moone, and the Moone her selfe ; if any application be betwixt these Planets, and the Moon be in a common Signe, and the Ascendant one,and the Significators in Angles, or if in the ascendant or second there be a fortunate Planet, she is with child, otherwise not.

有人说，若问的是妇人是否怀孕；就看上升主星、第五宫主星、月亮的定位星和月亮本身；若这几颗行星之间有任何入相，月亮又在双体星座，上升也是双体星座，诸征象星又在角宫，或上升或第二宫有一颗吉星，她就是怀孕了，否则没有。

Or if by chance a Planet Direct be in ☌ with the Moon, it shewes the same ; ♃ or ♀ in the fifth, or ☽ in the fifth, applying to ♃ or ♀, or a Planet in Cazimi of the ☉, the Planet being a Fortune, is a strong argument of being with Child ; but if instead of Fortunes you find the Infortunes so placed as abovesaid, it's no signe of Conception ; or if there be assurance of Conception before the Question be asked, it's a pregnant proofe of abortion, and if you find ♂ to be the infortunate Planet afflicting, she will miscarry by a Flux of blood ; if ♄ afflict, then by Sicknesse, Feare, Frights, or by too much aboundance of wind and water.

或者，若碰巧有一颗顺行的行星与月亮会合，也表示同样的事；木星或金星在第五宫，或月亮在第五宫而入相于木星或金星，或有一颗行星在太阳的日核，而这颗行星是吉星，都是怀孕的有力论据；但若你发现在上述位置上的不是吉星而是凶星，就不是受孕之兆；或者若在提问之前已确知怀孕，这就是流产的明证，若你发现施害的凶星是火星，她会因血崩而小产；若是土星施害，就是因病、恐惧、惊吓，或因风气与水液太多而小产。

If you are demanded of the state of the Mother, and how, or in what case she shall be in after the Birth ? behold the ☽ , and observe to what Planet she applies, and according to the last application she hath before she goe out of the Signe she is in, it shall be with the Mother; so that observe that Planet she last applies unto, his Nature, place in the Heaven and Fortitude, so shall it be with the Mother after Birth :

若有人问你母亲的情形，她分娩之后会怎样、处境如何？就看月亮，留意她入相于哪一颗行星，按她离开所在星座之前的最后一次入相，母亲的情形就会如何；所以要留意她最后入相的那颗行星，看它的性质、在天上的位置与力量，母亲产后的情形也就如此：

I have in my practice observed this concerning the safety of the Mother, and her condition at the Birth, if it were evident she were with Child ; and If I found the ascendant free, and the Lord of the ascendant neither separated from a bad aspect of the Lord of the eighth or fourth, or applying to any bad aspect of the Lords of those two houses, or if I found the ☽ fortunately applying to either of the Fortunes, or to the ☉, or indeed to any good aspect of the Infortunes, I never doubted the life of the Mother, and I remember not that I ever failed.

关于母亲的安危与她分娩时的情形，在我的实践中，若已经明白她怀了孕，我观察到这一点；若我发现上升无损，上升主星既不是刚离开第八宫或第四宫主星的凶相位，也不是正入相于这两宫主星的任何凶相位，或者我发现月亮吉利地入相于两颗吉星之一，或入相于太阳，或者确实入相于凶星的任何吉相位，我从不担心母亲的性命，我也不记得自己有哪一次判错。

If the Lord of the fifth were in the eight,and had no essential dignities in the Sign,and had any aspect good or ill to the Lord of the eight or fourth,I usually judged the Infant would not live long after the Birth, and I ever found the prediction true ; and you shall very seldome observe any Infant borne upon the very change of the ☽, but he dyes shortly, seldome outlives the next full ☽ ; or if he or she be borne at the moment of the full Moon, it's very probable the Infant dyes upon the next new Moon ; for as there is no light in earth but what these two Planets give, so neither doe I beleeve any life can be permanent, when both these at the time of birth are either of themselves, or by the Infortunes afflicted. &c.

若第五宫主星在第八宫，在所在星座中没有必然尊贵，又与第八宫或第四宫主星有任何相位，不论吉凶，我通常判断婴儿出生后活不长，我一直发现这个预言应验；你也会很少看到哪个婴儿正当月亮朔时出生而不很快夭折的，他很少能活过下一次满月；或者，若他或她正当满月那一刻出生，婴儿很可能在下一次新月时夭折；因为大地上除了这两颗星所给的光，再没有别的光，所以我也不相信，当这两颗星在出生之时本身受损、或受凶星侵害时，生命能够长久。等等。

Whether Unity is like to be betwixt the Infant and the Parent, or betwixt the Parent and any of his Children of elder Yeers.

婴儿与父母之间，或父母与年纪较长的某个子女之间，是否可能和睦。

This were better resolved from the Nativity, but because few among us are capable of judging one, I adventure somewhat by an Horary Question: The Qution being then demanded as aforesaid, behold the Lord of the ascendant, the Moon, the Lord of the fifth; if you find reception and application betwixt the Lord of the fift,and Lord of the ascendant,and this in the tenth, eleventh, fift, third, ninth, first or second houses, there will be Love and Unity betwixt them ; or if ♃ or ♀ doe behold the cusps of both houses, there will be Unity and Concord betwixt them.

这本来最好从本命盘来解答，但因为我们当中能判本命盘的人不多，我就冒昧用卜卦问题来判一判：问题既如上所说提出，就看上升主星、月亮、第五宫主星；若你发现第五宫主星与上升主星之间有接纳与入相，而且是在第十、第十一、第五、第三、第九、第一或第二宫，他们之间就会有爱与和睦；或者若木星或金星照这两宫的宫头，他们之间也会和睦融洽。

I doe in these manner of demands observe onely thus much ; I presently consider if either ♄ ♂ or ☋ be in the fift, for if those two Planets, or any Planet who is posited in the house be Peregrine ; I say, that the Childe will be untoward, very averse, and not easily regulated by his Parents directions, and that the fault is wholly in the Child, or young Man or Maid, according to the Question propounded.

在这类问题上我只留意这么多；我马上看土星、火星或龙尾是否在第五宫，因为若那两颗行星，或任何在该宫的行星是游离的；我就说，孩子会乖戾，很是抵触，不容易听父母的管教，错完全在孩子，或在那个年轻男子或姑娘，视所问的情形而定。

If I find ♄ ♂ or ☋ in the ascendent, I tell the Parents that enquires, the fault is their owne, that the Child is not more observant unto them ; and if ♂ be there, I say, they are too much lordly over him or her,or their Children, and over-awe them, and keep them in too much sujection ; if ♄ be the Planet impediting, I say, they are too austere, dogged, and too much close fisted, and expect more service, duty, obedience or attendance from them then is fitting in a Christian liberty, that they give their Children no encouragement,or shew them any countenance, &c.

若我发现土星、火星或龙尾在上升，我就告诉来问的父母，错在他们自己，孩子之所以对他们不够恭顺；若是火星在那里，我就说，他们对他或她、或对子女们太过专横，使他们畏惧，把他们管束得太紧；若阻碍的行星是土星，我就说，他们太严厉、太执拗、太吝啬，向子女要求的服侍、本分、顺从或侍候，超过了基督徒自由中所应有的，从不给子女鼓励，也不给他们好脸色，等等。

If ☋ be there in the ascendant, I blame the Parent enquiring, and tell him, he is too too jealous, and too mistrustfull of the actions of his or their Children, that he beleeves lyes and calumnies against his or their Children, that simple people foole him in his humour, and besot him with vaine reports, &c.

若是龙尾在上升，我就责怪来问的那位父亲或母亲，告诉他，他太多疑，太不信任自己子女的所作所为，相信那些说他子女坏话的谎言与诽谤，一些愚人顺着他的脾气愚弄他，用无稽的传言把他弄得昏头昏脑，等等。

You may apply the last part of Judgment to any other Question as well as this, with very good successe, as I have done many times, and thereby have reconciled the Father or Mother and their Child.

这最后一部分判断，你也可以用在任何别的问题上，效果很好，我就这样做过许多次，并因此使父亲或母亲与他们的孩子和好。

But by all meanes I desire all Astrologians to deale fairly and really, let the fault be where it will be, &c.

但无论如何，我希望所有星占家都公正、真实地处理，错在哪一方就是哪一方，等等。
