卷二·第四十四章（一）　判病之法：病位、病因与长短

Judgment of Sicknesse by Astrology.

以星占判断疾病。

THAT which I hold convenient to write of Sicknesses, is thus much :

关于疾病，我认为宜写的，就是下面这些：

That in the first place, we ought carefully to take the exact time of the parties first falling sick, viz. the houre as neer as can be had, not that moment when first the Patient felt a smatch of it, but that very time when first he was so ill, or so extreamly oppressed, that he was enforced to take his Bed, or to repose.

第一，我们应当仔细取得病人最初病倒的确切时间，即尽可能准确的时辰；不是病人最初稍觉不适的那一刻，而是他第一次病得那样厉害、被压得那样沉重，以致不得不上床或躺下休息的那个时刻。

Secondly, if that cannot be had, then accept of that time when the sick parties Urine was first carried to somebody,to enquire of the Disease, whether the party enquired of was Physitian or not.

第二，如果得不到这个时间，那就取病人的尿第一次被送到某人那里、去打听这病的时间，不论被打听的那人是不是医生。

Thirdly, if no such thing can be had, let the Physitian take the time of his owne first speaking with, or accesse to the Patient, or when first the Urine was brought unto him, let a Figure be erected accordingly, and the place of the ☽ exactly rectified to the very houre ; and then to know where the Disease is, let him carefully observe :

第三，如果这样的时间也得不到，就让医生取他自己第一次与病人说话、或第一次来到病人身边的时间，或者尿第一次送到他手上的时间，据此起盘，并把月亮的位置精确校正到那个时辰；然后，要知道病在哪里，他应当仔细察看：

First, the ascendant, what Planet or Planets are therein placed. Secondly, the sixt house, and what Planet or Planets are therein posited. Thirdly, the Signe and house wherein the ☽ is. Fourthly, how she is affected or afflicted, by what Planet, in what house that Planet is,what house of the Figure that Planet is Lord of.

第一，上升，看有什么行星在其中。第二，第六宫，看有什么行星在其中。第三，月亮所在的星座与宫位。第四，她受了怎样的影响或侵害，受哪颗行星侵害，那颗行星在哪一宫，又是盘中哪一宫之主。

What part of the Body is afflicted ; wherein you consider :

身体哪一部分受害；这里你要考虑：

If the first house be afflicted by the presence of an evill Planet and he Retrograde, Combust, Peregrine, slow in motion, or in □ or ☍ to any Planet who is Lord of the fourth, sixt, eighth or twelfth, the Disease is then in the Head, or in that or those parts of the Body which the Planet or Planets signifie in that Sign then ascending, which you may see by the Table beforegoing page 119. as if the Signe ascending be ♋,and ♄ therein,you may judge, the sick party is afflicted in the Head, or such Diseases as are incident to the Head, because that first honse signifies in mans Body the Head, and is now afflicted by the position of ♄ in that house : but you shall also judge the sick party is Diseased with a Loosnesse or Flux in the Belly, or an imperfection in the Reynes or Secrets, or troubled with cold,raw Matter in his Stomack, because ♄ in ♋ doth signifie those members, or else with some rotten Cough ; and your Judgment herein shall be more certaine, and I dare say infallible, if either the Lord of the ascendant, the ☽, or Lord of the sixt be in a Signe, and therein signifie that very member which ♄ doth, or if the Signe of the sixt represent that member.

如果第一宫因一颗凶星在内而受害，而那颗凶星又逆行、焦伤、游离、行速迟缓，或与第四、第六、第八、第十二宫之主成四分或对冲，那么病就在头部，或在那颗（或那几颗）行星在当时上升的星座里所主的身体部位，这可以从前面第一百一十九页的表里查到：比如上升星座是巨蟹，土星在其中，你可以判断病人头部受病，或患头部常见的病症，因为第一宫在人体上主头，如今又因土星在这一宫而受害：但你也要判断病人患腹泻或腹中下痢，或肾与私处有毛病，或胃里有寒冷未化的积物，因为土星在巨蟹主这些部位，要不然就是某种腐败性的咳嗽；如果上升主星、月亮或第六宫主星有一颗所在的星座、在那里所主的恰恰是土星所主的那个部位，或者第六宫的星座代表那个部位，你在这一点上的判断就更确定，我敢说是不会错的。

The same course and manner which I have directed in the ascendant, I would have observed in the sixt house, viz. the Signe of the sixt ; the Planet or Planets therein placed, what member of mans Body they represent in the Signe wherein they are posited, from whom the Lord of the sixt last separated, to whom he next applyes : Together with these, observe carefully the Signe and house wherein the ☽ is, her separation and application, and you may then descend to give judgment in what part of the Body the sick party is grieved, and of what nature and quality the Sicknesse is of, or what humour is most predominant and peccant.

我在上升所指示的那套方法与做法，也希望在第六宫照样遵行，即：看第六宫的星座；在其中的行星，它们在所在的星座里代表人体的哪个部位；第六宫主星最近离开了谁，下一个入相于谁：此外，还要仔细观察月亮所在的星座与宫位，她的离相与入相；这样你就可以进而判断病人身体哪一部分受苦，这病是什么性质、什么品类，或者哪种体液最占上风、最为作乱。

From what cause the Sicknesse is. Generally observe :

病由何而起。一般说来，要观察：

The Significators in Signes fiery, and the Signes ascending in the first, and descending in the sixt of the same nature, shew Hectick Feavers, and that Choller principally is predominant in this Sicknesse.

征象星在火象星座，第一宫上升的星座与第六宫降下的星座也同属这种性质，主消耗热，表示这病主要是胆汁占上风。

The Significators in earthly Signes, argue long and tedious Agues,or Feavers of great continuance, or such Diseases as may occasionally proceed from Melancholly, Consumptions, &c.

征象星在土象星座，主长久难缠的疟疾，或久热不退，或可能由黑胆汁引起的病，如痨病等等。

The Significators in ayery Signes, shew the Blood putrified or corrupted, Gouty Diseases, Leprosies, the Hand and Foot Gout.

征象星在风象星座，表示血液腐败或败坏，痛风一类的病，麻风，手足痛风。

The Significators in moyst Signes, declare the Disease to proceed from some cold and moyst cause or causes, and shewes Coughs, rottennesse in the Stomack, and that those parts are disaffected, &c.

征象星在湿润星座，表明病出于某种寒湿的原因，主咳嗽、胃中腐坏，那些部位失调，等等。

From what precedes, it's easie to discover both the member afflicted, quality of the Disease, its cause and originall rise ; which being well considered, it's requisite you be able to acquaint the sick party of the length or shortnesse of his Disease, and its time of accesse or recesse, the better to comfort him if life be ordained, or to make him more penitent and prepared for Heaven, if you see apparent testimonies of death.

由上面所说，不难看出受病的部位、病的性质、病因与起源；这些仔细考虑过后，你还需要能告诉病人他的病是长是短，何时发作、何时减退，好在天意让他活下去时更好地安慰他，若你看到明显的死亡之证，就让他更加悔改，为升天作好准备。

Whether the Disease will be long or short.

病是长是短。

Herein you must have respect to the time of the yeer in the first place, and to consider, that Sicknesses happening in the Winter are usually more long, and of long continuance ; in the Summer more short ; in the Spring they are reputed healthfull; in the Autumne, for the most part Diseases mortall and pernicious are stirred up.

这里你首先要注意一年中的时节，要考虑到：冬天得的病通常较长，拖延得久；夏天的较短；春天的病一般认为于健康无大碍；秋天多半会引起致命而有害的疾病。

Also cold and dry Diseases which proceed from ♄, or which he stirres up, or is the Author of, are more permanent and long, and generally are regulated by the ☉ : hot and dry Diseases, which are procreated from the influence of ♂ and the ☉ are but short, and are determined by the motion of the ☽ : ♄ produceth chronick Infirmities ; ♃ and ☉ short ; ♂ more short,violent and quick ; ♀ a meane betwixt both ; ☿ divers and unconstant ; the ☽ such as do againe revert, as the Falling-sicknesse, Giddinesse, Swimming of the Head, Gouts, &c.

再者，由土星而来、或由他激起、由他造成的寒干之病，较为持久而漫长，一般由太阳来调节；由火星与太阳的影响所生的热干之病则只是短的，由月亮的运行来决定：土星生慢性病；木星与太阳主短病；火星的更短、更猛烈、更急；金星介于两者之间；水星多变无常；月亮主那些会反复发作的病，如癫痫、眩晕、头昏、痛风等等。

Signes of a long or short Sicknesse.

病长病短之兆。

If the Signe of the sixt be fixed, expect a long Disease ; a moveable Signe, short continuance ; a common Signe, a mediocrity, neither too long or short, but for the most part, an alteration of the Disease, and returne of it againe.

若第六宫的星座是固定星座，预期病会长；是启动星座，持续不久；是双体星座，则居中，不太长也不太短，但多半是病情有变化，并且会复发。

The last degrees of any Signe being upon the cusp of the sixt house, the disease is almost at an end, or is either altering for better or worse : fixed Signes doe argue the humour not to be expulsed without much time and difficulty.

任何星座的末几度落在第六宫的宫头上，病差不多要结束了，或者正在往好或往坏的方向转变：固定星座主体液若不花许多时间、费许多力气，就排不出去。

When the Lord of the sixt is of evill influence, and placed in the sixt, it's an ill Omen, or an unlucky signe of a durable and great sicknesse: but if in the like nature a Fortune be there, the Disease will soon be cured, nor is it mortall :

第六宫主星是一颗凶星而又在第六宫，是不祥之兆，或是病重而持久的凶征：但同样情形若是一颗吉星在那里，病很快就会治好，也不会致命：

When the Lord of the sixt is stronger then the Lord of the ascendant, the Disease is like to encrease, advise the Patient to take fit remedies, for Nature is weaker then the Disease ; but if the Lord of the sixt house be more weak then the Lord of the ascendant, then be assured nature will be able to overcome the malignity of the Disease, without much assistance of the Physician :

第六宫主星比上升主星强，病势可能加重，劝病人用合适的药，因为本元弱于病；但第六宫主星若比上升主星弱，就可以肯定，本元不必医生多帮忙，就能胜过病的恶性：

When ♄ is Lord of the sixt house, and fixed in the Signe he is in, he extreamly prolongs the Disease ; if he be Retrograde or slow in motion, he performes the same ; but if he be in a moveable Sign and in any of his Termes, or swift in motion, he is not then much unfortunate, or will he greatly prolong the Disease: a moveable Signe in the sixt, and the ☽ likewise, and no impediment otherwayes appearing, the Disease continues but a while ; common Signes doe more long continue any infirmity, except ♓, for that being upon the cusp of the sixt, I ever found it equivalent to a moveable Signe :

土星为第六宫主星，而所在星座是固定星座，他会把病拖得极长；他若逆行或行速迟缓，也是如此；但他若在启动星座，在他自己的某个界内，或行速快，那他就不算很凶，也不会把病拖得很长：第六宫是启动星座，月亮也在启动星座，又看不出别的妨碍，病只持续一阵子；双体星座会让病拖得更久，只有双鱼例外，因为双鱼在第六宫宫头时，我总发现它等同于启动星座：

If the ☽ apply by ill aspect to the Lord of the ascendant, the Disease encreases ; if the ☽ be in the sixt in ill aspect with ♀, the sick may thank himselfe for his Disease, he is a disorderly fellow, and of ill Dyet ; and if ♀ be in ♏,&c. he hath got a clap of some uncleane woman ; if a woman ask, she hath too great Flux of the Whites or Reds, or the Disease is occasioned by her owne Folly, &c.

月亮若以凶相位入相于上升主星，病势加重；月亮若在第六宫与金星成凶相位，病人的病要怪他自己，他是个生活放荡、饮食无度的人；若金星在天蝎等等，他是从某个不洁的女人那里染上了淋病；若问的是女人，她是白带或赤带过多，或者这病是她自己的荒唐所致，等等。

If the Lord of the sixt apply to the Lord of the ascendant by □ or ☍, the Disease is encreasing, and is not yet at his height or full growth ; so also the Lord of the sixt in the eighth or twelfth,is an ill argument and great presumption, that the party sick must be more afflicted ere his Disease leave him :

第六宫主星若以四分或对冲入相于上升主星，病正在加重，还没到顶点、还没长足；同样，第六宫主星在第八宫或第十二宫，也是不好的论据、有力的推定，表示病人在病离开他之前还要受更多的苦：

If an infortunate Planet be in the sixt, and is removing out of one Sign into another, the Disease will speedily alter : if it's desired When, or how long it may be before it doe so ? then see how many degrees the malevolent Planet wants ere he can get out of the Signe, and thereby judge so many Moneth, Weeks or Dayes according to the nature and quality of the Signe : if the Lord of the sixt be Retrograde, Combust in the eighth or twelfth, and and in □, ☍ or ☌ with ♄, ♂, or Lord of the eighth or fourth of the Figure, he prenotes much infirmity, a long continued and sudden alteration of the Disease from better to worse, if not Death it selfe ; the Lord of the sixt in the eighth, and Lord of the eighth in the sixt, there being also a ⚹ or △ aspect betwixt both Significators, you shall not doubt of the death of the Patient at that time, for the Heavens doe declare, that Nature is not yet so overcome, or so weak, but that the sick shall overcome it : if there happen any △ ⚹ or ☌ betwixt the Lord of the sixt and ♃, and he in the ninth, and the ☽ separate from the Lord of the sixt to ♃, so in the ninth house posited, it's an assured argument, that the Medicines which the Phisitian prescribes, or which the Patient hath already taken, have caused the party to be very sick at time of their taking, and whilest they operated,and that the Medicines wrought effectually in the outward parts of the Body, but afterwards the sick felt great comfort, and hath found great emendation in the parts of his Body, afflicted at time of his first being ill ; either ♄ or ♂, or any unfortunate Planet in the sixt, threatens great danger in the Sicknesse, yet if he be well affected or essentially fortified, he hurts little ; and you may rather judge, the Disease is happened casually and suddenly, then upon any prepared matter in the Body beforehand, therefore let the sick be of good comfort : so likewise when you find a Benevolent Planet well fortified in the sixt, and he not author of the Disease, you may safely judge, the Disease is not, or will be permanent.

若一颗凶星在第六宫，而它正要从一个星座移入另一个星座，病会很快变化：若问是何时、还要多久才变，就看这颗凶星还差多少度才出这个星座，依星座的性质与品类，判断为多少个月、周或日：若第六宫主星逆行、焦伤，在第八或第十二宫，又与土星、火星或盘中第八宫、第四宫之主成四分、对冲或会合，他预示病痛很多、病情长久，而且会突然由好转坏，即便还不致死；第六宫主星在第八宫，第八宫主星在第六宫，两个征象星之间又有六分或三分相位，你就不必担心病人此时会死，因为天象表明本元还没有被压倒，也没有弱到那个地步，病人会胜过这病：若第六宫主星与木星之间有三分、六分或会合，木星在第九宫，月亮又离开第六宫主星而去会位于第九宫的木星，这就确定表明，医生开的药或病人已服的药，在服用时、药力发作时让病人很难受，药在身体外部起了很大作用，但之后病人感到大为舒适，最初患病时受害的部位也大见好转；土星或火星，或任何凶星在第六宫，都主病中有大危险，但他若状态良好、或有必然尊贵加强，就为害不大；你倒可以判断这病是偶然、突然得的，而不是身体里先有积物，所以让病人宽心：同样，你发现一颗吉星在第六宫，有力，又不是致病之星，你就可以放心断定这病不是、也不会是持久的病。

Many times it happens that in some Country-townes, people are afraid of Witches ; If the Lord of the twelfth be in the sixt when mistrust is had by any such Querent, it's a strong argument the supposition is true, that the party is vexed by an evill Spirit, or by Fascination ; when you find in the Question of a sick. party, the Lord of the sixt in the ascendant, and the Lord of the ascendant in the sixt, you may give judgment the Disease hath been of long continuance,and will continue untill one of the Significators get out of the Signe wherein he is ; and if it happen, at the time of the Planets transit out of one Signe into another, he meet with the □ or ☍ of the Lord of the fourth or eighth, or with the oppressing or malicious aspect of ♄ or ♂, and they slow in motion, in Signes odiously beholding or aspecting one another, it's a very great signe the sick will then depart this Life ; when you find the Lord of the sixt afflicted by the □ or ☍ of the Lord of the ascendant in Azimen degrees, a fig for the Physitian, the Disease is uncurable,and the sick party continually pained :

很多时候，在一些乡镇里，人们害怕女巫；若问卜者有这种疑心时，第十二宫主星在第六宫，这就是有力的论据，表明这种猜测属实，病人是被恶灵或蛊惑所扰；在病人的问题里，你发现第六宫主星在上升，上升主星在第六宫，你可以判断这病已经拖了很久，还会持续到其中一个征象星离开所在的星座为止；若这颗行星由一个星座移入另一个星座之时，正遇上第四宫或第八宫之主的四分或对冲，或遇上土星或火星压迫、恶意的相位，而它们又行速迟缓，所在星座彼此以凶相相照，这就是病人那时将要离世的极大征兆；你发现第六宫主星在残缺度数上，受上升主星四分或对冲的侵害，那就别指望医生了，这病治不好，病人会一直疼痛：

When the Lord of the sixt is in the ascendant, the Disease will continue, but the paine doth slacken and seems quite removed at some times, or the Patient sometimes is not sensible of paine : but if he be in a Cadent house, the Disease is neither very grievous, or will it endure any long space of time; so also good Planets in the sixt do promise a good end of the Disease; evill the contrary : usually a malignant Planet in the sixt, shew a Disease unsetled, so doth also the Lord of the sixt if he be in the sixt, eighth or twelfth, denote a Disease not easily curable ; if the Lord of the ascendant and ☽ be free from the □, ☍ or ☌ of ♄ or ♂, or any infortunate Planet, and be Direct, free from Combustion, swift in Motion, not Peregrine, or in his Fall or Detriment, or in the eighth or sixt, or in any aspect with the Lord of the twelfth, sixt or eighth, it's a faire signification of health and recovery ; when the Lord of the ascendant is in the fourth or eighth, and is not afflicted, he shall not signifie death, but recovery ; but if he be unfortunate in the fourth, it notes great difficulty ere the party be cured ; but if the Lord of the ascendant be himselfe unfortunate, either in his house, or by Retrogradation, Peregrination, Combustion, or be in his Fall or Detriment, it's possible he may be cured, but within a short time after he will relapse, dye, or fall into some desperate infirmity ; when also the Lord of the ascendant is infortunated by the Lord of the sixt or twelfth, and in a bad aspect of the ☽, there's danger in the Disease threatned ; above all, have a care if ♄ be Lord of the ascendant, and in his Dignities, slow, diminished in light, Retrograde, for then the Patient or Querent will be long sick ; judge the contrary of the signification of ♄ when otherwayes qualified.

第六宫主星在上升时，病会持续，但疼痛会减轻，有时似乎完全消失，或者病人有时感觉不到疼痛：但他若在果宫，病既不很重，也不会持续很久；同样，吉星在第六宫，许诺病有好的结局；凶星则相反：通常凶星在第六宫，表示病情不稳定；第六宫主星若在第六、第八或第十二宫，也表示病不容易治；若上升主星与月亮没有受到土星、火星或任何凶星的四分、对冲或会合，又顺行、未受焦伤、行速快、不游离，不在落或陷，不在第八或第六宫，与第十二、第六或第八宫之主也没有任何相位，这是健康与康复的美好意义；上升主星在第四或第八宫而未受害，他就不主死亡，而主康复；但他若在第四宫而不吉，表示病人要经过很大困难才治得好；但若上升主星本身不吉，或因所在的宫，或因逆行、游离、焦伤，或在落或陷，病也许能治好，但不久之后又会复发、死亡，或陷入某种绝望的病症；上升主星受第六或第十二宫之主所害，又与月亮成凶相位时，也预示病中有危险；最要紧的是，若土星是上升主星，在他的尊贵之处，行速迟缓，光亮减弱，逆行，就要当心，因为那样病人或问卜者会病很久；土星若是别的状态，就作相反的判断。

The Lord of the ascendant in an Angle, having no configuration to any malevolent Planet, but being in a benevolent house of Heaven, and not under the ☉ beames, or Retrograde, you may judge the Querent is in no danger at this time : when the Lord of the ascendant is swift in motion, and entring into another Signe, or going out of his owne house into another, so it be not into the Signe of the sixt or twelfth, the Disease will quickly determine : if the Lord of the ascendant be not afflicted in himselfe, or by any ill aspect of the malevolent Planets, or Planets of a contrary nature unto himselfe, but is swift in motion,and in some good aspect with the fortunate Planets, it's a strong argument that tht nature of the Diseased or Querent is nothing diminished, but is able to overcome the malignity of the Disease, and that in a very short time ; but if the Significator of the sick be afflicted powerfully, it's a signe of a strong fit of sicknesse; the greater it will be, when the Significator of life is more weak then the Planet afflicting: if all the Significators of the Disease be in Signes fixed, it prenotes a great space of time ere the Patient can be cured, nor will the cure be easily perfected ; when the Lord of the ascendant is applied unto by a malevolent Planet, it retards the cure, prolongs the infirmity, though at present great hopes appeare ; so doth also the ☽ when she is slow in motion, and goeth in twenty four hours lesse then her meane motion, and be in any aspect or ☌ with the Lord of the ascendant ; but if she be swift the cure is performed presently, or effected in a little time ; for the most part when the ☽ decreases in light and motion, and comes to the ☌, □ or ☍ of ♄, unlesse the disease be in its decrease and leaving the Patient or Querent, it's I say, very mortall and dangerous : when the ☽ is in ☌ with a Planet that is Orientall Direct and Swift, expect a short sicknesse ; joyned to a Retrograde or Planet Occidentall, look for the contrary.

上升主星在角宫，与任何凶星都没有相位，而在天上一个吉宫里，不在太阳光下，也不逆行，你可以判断问卜者此时没有危险：上升主星行速快，正要进入另一个星座，或正从他自己的庙进入另一个星座，只要不是进入第六宫或第十二宫的星座，病很快就会了结：若上升主星本身不受害，也不受凶星或与他性质相反的行星的凶相侵害，而是行速快，与吉星有良好相位，这是有力的论据，表示病人或问卜者的本元毫无减损，能胜过病的恶性，而且在很短的时间内；但若病人的征象星受到强有力的侵害，就是病要大发作的征兆；生命征象星比施害之星弱的时候，发作就更大：若病的所有征象星都在固定星座，预示病人要经过很长时间才能治好，治疗也不容易完成；上升主星被一颗凶星入相时，会延缓治疗，拖长病情，虽然眼下似乎大有希望；月亮行速迟缓，二十四小时所行少于她的平均行度，又与上升主星有任何相位或会合时，也是如此；但她若行速快，病就立即治好，或在短时间内治好；大多数情况下，月亮光亮与行速都在减少，又去会土星的会合、四分或对冲，除非病正在消退、正要离开病人或问卜者，否则我说，这是非常致命而危险的：月亮与一颗东出、顺行而行速快的行星会合，预期病短；与逆行或西入的行星相会，则预期相反。
