卷二·第四十四章（二）　病之轻重、康复之证与死亡之兆

When you find ♏ ascending, you may for the most part judge, the party was cause of his owne infirmnesse, either by peevishnesse, folly, choller or the like ; and your judgment will be more firme, if ♂ be then placed in ♏ : if both the Luminaries be in Cadent houses, and the Planet or Planets that are their Dispositors be unfortunate, the Querent may expect a terrible sicknesse ; if the Fortunes assist in judgment, yet will the sicknesse be of long continuance, and of a sharp Disease, prove chronick, yet beyond all expectation, the sick party will recover; and the more confident be in your judgment, by how much more strong the Fortunes are dignified above the Infortunes ; when you find ♂ Lord of the ascendant and posited in the sixt house, in ⚹ or △ with ♀, nay, if he be in □ or ☍ of her, there's no great danger.

你发现天蝎上升时，多半可以判断，病人的病是自己招来的，或因乖戾、愚蠢、动怒之类；若那时火星又在天蝎，你的判断就更确定：若两光都在果宫，而作它们定位星的那颗或那几颗行星不吉，问卜者可以预料一场可怕的病；若吉星在判断中相助，病仍会拖得很久，是一种剧烈的病，会转成慢性，但出乎一切意料，病人会康复；吉星的尊贵比凶星强得越多，你对这判断就越可以有信心；你发现火星是上升主星而落在第六宫，与金星成六分或三分，甚至与她成四分或对冲，都没有大危险。

If the Lord of the sixt be Combust or Retrograde, in his Fall or Detriment, and in the eighth, in ☌, □ or ☍ of ♄ or ♂, you may doubt, and not unjustly, that the Disease will never leave the sick party till death; and if the ☽ have equall testimony to the former Significators, viz. if she also apply to the □ ☍ or ☌ of the Lord of the eight,your former judgment will be very certaine ;

若第六宫主星焦伤或逆行，在落或陷，又在第八宫，与土星或火星会合、四分或对冲，你可以怀疑（而且不无道理）这病到死都不会离开病人；若月亮对前述的征象星也有同等的作证，即她也入相于第八宫主星的四分、对冲或会合，你先前的判断就非常确定了；

If either the ☽ or Lord of the ascendant be in □ ☌ or ☍ to a benevolent Planet, Retrograde, the sick will recover, but not in haste, for it's an argument of the prolongation of the Disease, and relapsing out of one Disease into another :

若月亮或上升主星与一颗逆行的吉星成四分、会合或对冲，病人会康复，但不会很快，因为这是病情拖延、由一种病转入另一种病的论据：

When you find the ☽ receded from ☍ of the ☉, to be swift in motion, and hastens to the □ or ☍ of ♂ it will come to passe, that the Disease which the Querent now undergoes, will be grievous and mortall; but if she salute at the same same time the ⚹ or △ of ♃ or ♀, the sick shall recover.

你发现月亮刚离开与太阳的对冲，行速快，又急着去会火星的四分或对冲，那么问卜者眼下所患的病将会沉重而致命；但她若同时去会木星或金星的六分或三分，病人会康复。

There's usually no danger if the ☽ at time of the Question be strong, and the Lord of the ascendant free from misfortune, and in no aspect to the Lord of the sixt, yet when the ☽ at time of the Question applies to ♄, or is impedited, it's an ill Omen and sign of a sicknesse at hand, and that the Querent mistrusts his owne health, is sick, but knowes not were to complaine, or in what part of the Body the infirmity is placed.

问卜时月亮有力，上升主星没有不幸，又与第六宫主星没有任何相位，通常就没有危险；但问卜时月亮入相于土星，或受阻，就是不祥之兆、病快要来的征象，并表明问卜者对自己的健康起了疑心，他是病了，却不知该从何说起，也不知病在身体哪一部分。

At the time of ones first lying down,if the ☽ be placed in the ascendant,in ☌ □ or ☍ of ♄ or ♂ ,or of any other unfortunate Planet, it's a sign of ill,& shews ill,unlesse the ☽ be in reception with the Planet or Planets so afflicting :

在一个人最初躺下之时，若月亮在上升，与土星或火星、或任何别的凶星会合、四分或对冲，这是不好的征象，显示凶险，除非月亮与那颗或那几颗施害之星有接纳：

It's very considerable to observe at the time of the Question, what Signe the ☽ is in ; if in a fixed, expect a long fit of sicknesse ; in a moveable Signe, quick dispatch ; in a Common or Double-bodied Signe, the Disease will not be very difficult to cure, but somewhat long in caring: and thus much more you must consider, that if there be translation of light (from that Planet who is Dispositor of the ☽, and he unfortunate) to the Lord of the ascendant, or Signe ascending, it gives great suspition that the Querent will have a sharp sicknesse,according to the nature of the Signes and Planets signifying the infirmity.

很值得注意的是问卜时月亮在什么星座：在固定星座，预期病会久；在启动星座，很快了结；在双体星座，病不太难治，但治起来要花些时间：你还要多考虑这一点：若有光线传递（从月亮的定位星传出，而那颗星不吉）传到上升主星或上升星座，就很令人疑心问卜者会得一场剧烈的病，病的性质照代表病症的星座与行星而定。

Testimonies that the Querent shall live and not dye of the infirmity now afflicting.

问卜者会活下去、不会死于眼下这场病的诸般证据。

When it is demanded seriously, if you conceive the Querent shall escape the Sicknesse he now languishes under, or shall live, you must carefully have recourse to your Figure erected, and therein observe these rules following : That if the ☽ be separated from a malevolent, weak Planet (that is ill dignified) and is applying to a Fortune powerfully strong, the sick party will be restored to former health ; where ♄ is Orientall of the ☉, and Significator of the Disease, it proceeding from Cold, (which is the true nature of ♄ without mixture) the Patient will recover ; if you find in like case, that ♄ is Occidentall, and the generall Significators doe incline or manifest, that the Disease is more of Heat then Cold, the sick will also be recovered ; yet you must ever understand,that ♄ is unlucky when he is Occidentall,&c.

若有人认真问你，你是否认为问卜者能逃过他眼下缠绵其中的病，或能活下来，你必须仔细回到你起好的盘，在其中遵照下面这些规则：若月亮刚离开一颗虚弱的凶星（即尊贵不佳的凶星），正入相于一颗强有力的吉星，病人会恢复往日的健康；土星在太阳之东而为病的征象星，病由寒而起（这是土星不掺杂别的性质时的本性），病人会康复；同样情形下你若发现土星西入，而一般的征象星倾向于、或显示这病热多于寒，病人也会康复；不过你始终要明白，土星西入时是不吉的，等等。

For the disposition of ♂,you shall find,that after his ☍ with the ☉,that is,when he is Occidentall,he is not so much to be feared (viz. his evill influence) as when he is Orientall ; for the ☌ of the ☽ with ♂ is dangerous, and an argument of a strong sicknesse at hand, his ☍ and □ aspects doe lesse mischiefe ; the ☽ doth more hurt in her encrease then in her decrease, so doth ♂ being Orientall, more then when Occidentall.

至于火星的状态，你会发现，在他与太阳对冲之后，即他西入时，他（指他的凶恶影响）不像东出时那样可怕；因为月亮与火星会合是危险的，是一场重病将至的论据，他的对冲与四分为害较小；月亮在盈长时比在亏缺时为害更大，火星东出时也比西入时为害更大。

When you find there is any reception between the Lord of the ascendant and Lord of the eighth, and neither of them infortunated by the malignant Planets, after desperation, there will be recovery: the Lord of the ascendant in reception of the Lord of the eighth by House or Triplicity, the Fortunes assisting either with their △ or ⚹ the degree ascending or of the sixt house, or the ☽ her selfe, there's no danger of death, but the sick will perefectly recover ; so also, when the Lord of the ascendant shall happen to be a benevolent Planet, and placed in the first, tenth, eleventh, fift or third house, being no wayes endangered by the □ or ☍ configuration of the Malevolents, it prenotes sanity : so doth also the position of the Fortunes in the Mid-heaven or first house, at what time the sicknesse first assaulted the sicke person, nothing is a more sure argument of health, or that the party sick shall live, then when you find the ☉ ♃ ♀ or the ☽ in the ascendant of the Question, not any wayes dannified by the hatefull aspect of the Lord of the eighth or sixt ; and this argument is more certaine, if the aforesaid Significators be in good Signes, that is, in either of ♃ his houses, or in ♋ or ♌, ♎ or ♉ : when the Moone is in her owne house, or in the house of ♃ or ♀, and there in either of their aspect, free from any ill aspect of ♄ or ♂, she signifies health and life.

你发现上升主星与第八宫主星之间有任何接纳，而两者都没有受恶毒的行星所损，那么在绝望之后会有康复：上升主星以庙或三方与第八宫主星有接纳，吉星又以三分或六分相助上升度数、第六宫的度数，或月亮本身，就没有死亡的危险，病人会完全康复；同样，上升主星恰好是一颗吉星，落在第一、第十、第十一、第五或第三宫，又丝毫没有受凶星四分或对冲格局的威胁，就预示健康：病最初侵袭病人之时，吉星落在中天或第一宫，也是如此；最确定的健康论据、病人会活下来的论据，莫过于你发现太阳、木星、金星或月亮在问卜盘的上升，丝毫不受第八宫或第六宫主星可憎相位的损害；若上述征象星又在好的星座，即在木星的两个庙之一，或在巨蟹、狮子、天秤、金牛，这一论据就更确定：月亮在她自己的庙，或在木星或金星的庙，并在那里与它们之一成相位，不受土星或火星任何凶相，就主健康与生命。

It's a good argument of recovery, when in your Question you find the Moon in ☌ with ♃, let ♃ be in what Signe he will it denotes good, but lesse in ♑ then in any other Signe, for neither the Moon or ♃ have any delight therein, that Signe being the Fall of ♃ and Detriment of the Moon ; in very deed, no Planet delights to be in the Signe wherein he Fals, or is he able therein to expresse the strength of his influence.

在问卜盘中你发现月亮与木星会合，是康复的好论据；不论木星在哪个星座都主吉，只是在摩羯比在别的任何星座要差，因为月亮和木星都不喜欢那里，那个星座是木星的落、月亮的陷；说实在的，没有一颗行星喜欢待在它落的星座，在那里也无法发挥它影响的力量。

When the Moon is applying to the Lord of the ascendant by △ or ⚹ aspect, and she be cleer of all misfortune, or not impedited by the Lord of the eighth,or sixt especially,health and life are promised : safety is also to be expected, when the Moon shall be well affected and posited in a Succeding house, provided, she be encreasing in light and motion, and not neer the bodies of ♄ or ♂, or infected with their Rayes : the Moone either in the first, tenth, eleventh, ninth, second, third or fifth, in △ or ⚹ with the Lord of the ascendant, or with his Antiscion, yea, if he be a malevolent Planet, so that neither the Lord of the ascendant or the Moon have any other impediment, it doth argue life.

月亮以三分或六分入相于上升主星，而她又没有任何不幸，或没有受第八宫主星、尤其第六宫主星所阻，就许诺健康与生命：月亮状态好、落在续宫，也可以期望平安，只要她光亮与行速都在增加，又不靠近土星或火星的星体，也没有沾染它们的光线：月亮在第一、第十、第十一、第九、第二、第三或第五宫，与上升主星或其映点成三分或六分，即使上升主星是一颗凶星，只要上升主星和月亮都没有别的妨碍，也主生命。

When at the first falling sick of the infirme Body, the Moon is voyd of course, and at her next Crisis meets with a ⚹ or △ of ♃ or ♀, in that very degree which makes a perfect Crysis, the sick shall recover, be he never so much pained or grieved at the time of demanding the Question or accesse of the Vrine : when in the first beginning or approach of a Disease, the Sunne, Moon and Lord of the ascendant are free from the ill aspects of the Infortunes or Lord of the eighth, there needs no feare or suspition to be made of the death of the then sick party, or when the Benevolent Planets are more potent then the Malevolent, they give assured hopes of life, and invite the infirme person to confide of his escape.

体弱之人最初病倒时，若月亮空亡，而到她下一个危象时遇上木星或金星的六分或三分，恰在构成完满危象的那个度数上，病人就会康复，不论他在问卜时或送尿时有多么疼痛难受：在病最初开始或到来时，太阳、月亮和上升主星都不受凶星或第八宫主星的凶相，就不必担心或怀疑当时的病人会死；或者吉星比凶星更有力时，它们给了生命的确切希望，让病人可以放心自己能逃过。

Arguments of Death.

死亡的论据。

When the ascendant at time of first falling sick, shall be the seventh house at the Birth, you may feare death, unlesse the Profection of that yeer be the same Signe : what Profection is, you shall know in my Treatise of Nativities ; those Signes which are adverse in a Nativity,are the Signs of the sixt,seventh,eighth and twelfth.

最初病倒时的上升，若是本命盘中的第七宫，你可能要担心死亡，除非那一年的推年也落在同一星座：推年是什么，你会在我论本命的专著里知道；本命盘中凶的星座，是第六、第七、第八和第十二宫的星座。

When the five Hylegiacall places at the hour of Birth, at time of Decumbiture of the sick, as also the Lord of the ascendant, are oppressed, judge death immediatly to follow, unlesse reception intervene betwixt the Infortunes, and the Fortunes interject their comfortable aspects ; for then,by a divine miracle as it were, the party sick may escape.

出生之时的五个海勒格之位，到病人卧床之时，连同上升主星都受压迫，就判断死亡随即而来，除非凶星之间有接纳介入，吉星又投入它们令人安慰的相位；那样，病人几乎像出于神迹一般，可能逃过。

He will be infinitely oppressed who in the houre of ♂ shall first get an hot Disease, and in the houre of ♄ a cold one.

在火星的行星时初得热病，在土星的行星时初得寒病，病人会受极大的压迫。

The Lord of the ascendant and of the Figure Combust, doe undoubtedly declare death, unlesse there be some reception between the ☉ and them, such a chance happening, and the Moon proving fortunate, after 〔?〕 a little hopes remaines.

上升主星与盘主都焦伤，无疑宣告死亡，除非他们与太阳之间有某种接纳；若出现这种情形，月亮又吉，之后还剩一点希望。

The Lord of the ascendant and the Moon in ☌ with the Lord of the eighth, without the interposing aspects of the Fortunes, threatens death.

上升主星与月亮同第八宫主星会合，又没有吉星插入相位，预示死亡。

The Lord of the eighth in an Angle, the Lord of the ascendant in a Cadent, is alwayes mortall; the rather if he be an Infortune.

第八宫主星在角宫，上升主星在果宫，总是致命的；他若是凶星，更是如此。

The application of the Moon to a Planet in the eighth, is alwayes dangerous : The application of the Lord of the ascendant unto the Lord of the eighth or unto malevolent Planets therein, the Moone being any manner of way corrupt, denoats death.

月亮入相于第八宫内的一颗行星，总是危险的：上升主星入相于第八宫主星，或入相于第八宫内的凶星，而月亮又以任何方式受损，就表示死亡。

The Moon transferring the light and influence of the Lord of the ascendant to the Lord of the eighth, brings usually death : so also when the Lord of the eighth is in the ascendant,the Lord of the ascendant and the Moon being both afflicted :

月亮把上升主星的光与影响传递给第八宫主星，通常带来死亡：第八宫主星在上升，上升主星与月亮又都受害，也是如此：

It also proves fatall when the Lord of the ascendant is infortunate in the eighth, the Moon being then corrupted or very weak, and in no essentiall Dignity : the Lord of the ascendant being Subterranean,and in any aspect to the Lord of the eighth in the eight, or if he be in the fourth, and the Lord of the eighth in the fourth, and they both in ☌, argue death : it's a very ill signe of life when the Lord of the ascendant is corporally joyned with the Lord of the fourth,sixt, seventh or twelfth, it seldome succeeds well with the sick person then.

上升主星在第八宫而不吉，月亮那时又受损或很弱、不在任何必然尊贵之中，也证明是致命的：上升主星在地平之下，与在第八宫的第八宫主星有任何相位；或他在第四宫，第八宫主星也在第四宫，两者会合，都主死亡：上升主星与第四、第六、第七或第十二宫之主体合，是生命很坏的征象，病人那时很少有好结果。

Have speciall consideration to the Luminary of the time, for according to the well or ill affection thereof you may improve your Judgment. The Lord of the ascendant afflicted of an evill Planet in the eighth, without the benevolent aspect of the Fortunes, the Moon also then vitiated, shew great perill of death,and usually by reason of the ill government of the sick party, or some error in his ordering and course in Physick : it's a powerfull argument that the sick party will dye, when at time of his first Question to his Physitian,you find the Lord of the ascendant Combust in the ascendant.

要特别考虑当令之光，因为你可以按它状态的好坏改进你的判断。上升主星在第八宫受一颗凶星所害，没有吉星的善意相位，月亮那时又受损，显示有很大的死亡危险，而通常是因为病人自己调养不当，或医疗的安排与疗程出了差错：病人第一次向医生问病之时，你发现上升主星在上升而焦伤，这是病人会死的有力论据。

The Lord of the ascendant and of the eighth unfortunate, prenote death.

上升主星与第八宫主星都不吉，预示死亡。

The Lord of the eighth in the tenth house, and Lord of the ascendant in fourth, sixt or seventh, afflicted of the malevolent Planets, argue death.

第八宫主星在第十宫，上升主星在第四、第六或第七宫，受凶星所害，主死亡。

A Planet very strong, and placed in the ascendant, if he be Lord of the houre and of the eighth, portends death : if the Lord of the eighth be Retrograde, and in ☌ □ or ☍ of the ☽, it shewes death : The Lord of the eighth in the seventh, the Moon and Lord of the ascendant in cadent houses, infested with the ill aspects of Infortunes ; and more certaine,if one of the malevolents be Lord of the eighth, or posited in the eighth ; some say, if the Moon be in ☌ with ♄ or ♃, the sicknesse will have little good thereby, nor will he escape,unlesse ♄ be Retrograde and ♃ Direct.

一颗很强的行星落在上升，若它是时辰主星又是第八宫主星，预示死亡：第八宫主星逆行，与月亮会合、四分或对冲，显示死亡：第八宫主星在第七宫，月亮与上升主星在果宫，受凶星的凶相侵扰，也是如此；若有一颗凶星是第八宫主星或落在第八宫，就更确定；有人说，月亮与土星或木星会合，病人从中得不到什么好处，也逃不过，除非土星逆行而木星顺行。

When the Lord of the Ascendant is in ☌ with the Lord of the eighth,or in □ or ☌ of a Planet posited in that house, or in the Antiscion of the Lord of the eighth,without the benevolent ⚹ or △ of ♃ ,and at the same time the ☽ be anyway afflicted,it's probable the sick will dye ; but if the Lord of the ascendant be in reception with the Planet in the eighth, it's possible he may avoyd death ; however, let him be assured a very long and grievous Disease he cannot :

上升主星与第八宫主星会合，或与落在第八宫的行星成四分或会合，或在第八宫主星的映点上，没有木星善意的六分或三分，而同时月亮又以任何方式受害，病人很可能会死；但上升主星若与第八宫内的行星有接纳，他有可能避过死亡；不过，让他确知，一场很长很重的病是免不了的：

If the ☽ be with ♄ or ♂, without the assistance of some good aspect from ♃ and ♀ ; and if ♄ be slow in motion, or is going Retrograde, it's so much the worse, and it's one argument the sick will dye at that time ; if other testimonies concurre, it's more certaine : The Lord of the ascendant in the seventh, in his Fall, or under the earth in the fourth or sixt, or in other Cadent houses, afflicted by the malevolents, and the Lord of the eighth in the seventh, these are testimonies of death :

月亮与土星或火星同在，没有木星和金星某种好相位相助；若土星行速迟缓，或正在逆行，就更坏，这是病人那时会死的一个论据；若其他证据也一致，就更确定：上升主星在第七宫，在落，或在地下的第四或第六宫，或在其他果宫，受凶星所害，第八宫主星又在第七宫，这些都是死亡的证据：

A malevolent Planet neer to the degree ascending, or a violent fixed Starre, viz. Antares in the fourth ♐, Lans Australis about the ninth of ♏, Palilicium in four ♊, Caput Medusæ in twenty ♉, these prenote death : The Lord of the ascendant in ♌ or ♒, in any bad configuration of the Lord of the sixt or twelfth, shewes little hopes of recovery.

一颗凶星靠近上升度数，或一颗凶暴的恒星靠近上升度数，即心宿二在射手四度、南秤约在天蝎九度、帕利利基乌姆在双子四度、美杜莎之首在金牛二十度，这些预示死亡：上升主星在狮子或水瓶，与第六或第十二宫之主有任何凶的格局，表示康复的希望很小。

Both the Lights afflicted of ♄ in Angles, give testimony of a tedious long sicknesse ; so doe both the Lights, being ill dignified and under the earth, signifie the same : when as also the ☉ from the beginning of the Disease shall be corporally afflicted, or by the □ or ☍ of ♄ or ♂ impedited, or be in the perfect Antiscion of a malignant Planet, or shall apply and not separate, either death, or an extraordinary long sicknesse succeeds :

两光在角宫都受土星所害，作证有一场冗长的久病；两光尊贵不佳又在地平之下，也表示同样的事：还有，太阳从病开始时就受星体侵害，或受土星或火星的四分或对冲所阻，或在一颗恶毒行星的精确映点上，或正入相而不离开，接下来不是死亡，就是一场异常漫长的病：

The ☽ after the beginning of the Disease comming to ☍ of the Lord of the ascendant, and he Retrograde or Combust, argues death, or a sharp disease, not easily curable : ♄ in ☍ with the Lord of the eight, the ☽ in the fourth with ♂, or ☽ in the ascendant, and neer the degree ascending, are arguments of death : the ☽ besieged by the Infortunes, or between ☉ and ♂, or between ☉ and ♄, are ill Omens of health : who fals sick whilest the ☽ is under the ☉ Beames, viz. departing from Combustion, his Disease shall encrease till she hath passed the ☉ his ☍ ; but then if she prove ill affected, and come to an ill aspect of the Lord of the eighth, it threatens death, otherwise he or she will escape.

病开始之后，月亮来到与上升主星对冲，而上升主星逆行或焦伤，主死亡，或一场剧烈、不易治的病：土星与第八宫主星对冲，月亮与火星同在第四宫，或月亮在上升且靠近上升度数，都是死亡的论据：月亮被凶星所围，或在太阳与火星之间、太阳与土星之间，都是健康的凶兆：谁在月亮处于太阳光下、即正在离开焦伤之时病倒，他的病会加重，直到她过了与太阳的对冲；但那时她若状态不佳，又去与第八宫主星成凶相，就有死亡之虞，否则他或她会逃过。

Any malevolent in the sixt, or any Planet peregrine and unfortunate in that house, shew great danger in the Disease ; the Combustion of the ☽ in the eighth house, and in ♌, or in ♎, in □ or ☍ to ♄ or ☿, or in ☌ with the Pleiades in 24 ♉, or other violent fixed Starres, argues death : the ☽ being Lady of the sixt, or of the ascendant in Combustion, and the Lord of the eighth at the same time afflicted by ☌, or ill aspect of ♄ or ♂, shew death.

任何凶星在第六宫，或任何游离而不吉的行星在那一宫，显示病中大有危险；月亮在第八宫焦伤，或在狮子、在天秤，与土星或水星成四分或对冲，或在金牛二十四度与昴星团会合，或与其他凶暴的恒星会合，主死亡：月亮作为第六宫或上升的女主而焦伤，第八宫主星同时又受土星或火星的会合或凶相所害，显示死亡。
