卷二·第四十五章　一位医生自己病了：何病，能否治愈

A sick Doctor, what was his Disease? If curable?

一位生病的医生：他得的是什么病？能否治愈？

What part of the Body was afflicted.

身体哪一部分受了害。

THE Signe ascending in this Question is ♏, the Chelæ notable fixed Stars neer unto the ascendant, yet is it not afflicted by the evill position or presence of any evill Planet; therefore I must next look to the sixt house, and see if it be afflicted, wherein I find ♄ in his Fall, who thereby afflicts that house, which naturally signifies Diseases by his unlucky presence; from whence I concluded, that from thence and from that house I must require the part or member of the Body afflicted or most grieved, as you may read page 244.

本问上升的星座是天蝎，天秤（古称螯）几颗著名的恒星靠近上升点，但上升并没有受到任何凶星的恶劣位置或在场所侵害；所以我接下来必须看第六宫，看它是否受损。我发现土星在那里，在他的落处，他以不吉的在场侵害了这个本主疾病的宫位；由此我断定，身体受害或最受折磨的部位或器官，必须从那里、从那个宫去求，如你在第二百四十四页可以读到的。

♈ represents the Head, as you may see page 245.

白羊代表头部，如你在第二百四十五页可见。

♄ in ♈ signifieth the Brest, as page 113.

土星在白羊表示胸部，如第一百一十三页。

♂ Lord of the ascendant in ♌ doth signifie the Heart.

上升主星火星在狮子，表示心脏。

The Lord of the ascendant is ♂, and him you may find but lately separated from a □ dexter of ♄, both of them in Cardinall Signes, ♂ at time of that □ in ♋, which presents the Brest and Stomack: from hence I positively concluded, as to the parts of Body grieved, they were the Head, Brest, Heart and Stomack, and that there lodged in the Brest or Stomack some melanchollick Obstruction, the cause of all his disease and Misery.

上升主星是火星，你会发现他不久前刚离开土星的右方四分，两者都在启动星座，那次四分时火星在巨蟹，巨蟹代表胸部与胃：由此我确定地断言，身体受害的部位是头、胸、心、胃，而且胸部或胃里积有某种忧郁质的阻塞，那是他一切病痛与苦楚的根源。

From what Cause the Sicknesse was.

病从何因而起。

♄ Being principall Significator of the Infirmity, in his owne Termes, and the ☽ in his house applying unto him, did prenote Melancholly, and such dry Diseases as are occasioned from melancholly distempers, and might abide in the Head and Brest: what Infirmities ♄ naturally signifieth, see page 244. how to make a right mixture, your Physicians best know, and what Diseases man may be subject unto in those parts, and may proceed from such causes as abovesaid.

土星是这场病的主要征象星，他在自己的界里，月亮又在他的庙里入相于他，这预示忧郁质，以及由忧郁质失调引起、可能停留在头部与胸部的那些干性疾病：土星本性主哪些病，见第二百四十四页。怎样作正确的调配，人在这些部位可能得哪些病、又可能由上述原因引起，你们医生最清楚。

♂ Lord of the ascendant was also in the Termes of ♄, and the ☽ out of his Termes, applyed to a □ of ☉, and he in ♂ his Termes; so that Choller was a secondary cause of this Doctor's sicknesse; and indeed when I came to speak with him, he was afflicted with great paine and rumbling in his head, very silent, dull and melancholy, slept very little, had a very dry Cough, and complained of great weaknesse and paine in his Brest, and at the Heart; his Complexion was betwixt black and yellow, as if there was inclination to the Jaundies; he had besides these, a lingring Consumption and great wearinesse all over him, and in every joynt, for the ☽ is in an ayery Signe; and as ♏ doth ascend, which signifies the Secrets, Stone in the Bladder; so doth also the ☽ in ♒ signifie the Secrets and Diseases therein, &c. so had he difficulty in making Urine, voyded red gravell, and was greatly pained in those parts, &c.

上升主星火星也在土星的界里，月亮则从他的界里入相于太阳的四分，而太阳在火星的界里；所以胆汁质是这位医生生病的次要原因。事实上，我去和他面谈时，他头里剧痛、隆隆作响，非常沉默、迟钝、忧郁，睡得极少，干咳得厉害，诉说胸口和心口非常虚弱、疼痛；他的面色介于黑与黄之间，像有得黄疸的倾向；除了这些，他还有拖延不愈的消耗病，全身上下、每个关节都极其困乏，因为月亮在风象星座；而且天蝎上升，天蝎主私处与膀胱结石，月亮在水瓶同样主私处及其中的疾病，等等；所以他小便困难，排出红色的砂石，那些部位疼痛很重，等等。

Having my selfe little judgment in Physick, I advised him to prescribe for himselfe such Physicall Medicines as were gently hot, moyst and cordiall, whereby he might for a while prolong his life; for the ☽ in the fourth in ⚹ with ♄, argued sicknesse untill death: He dyed the fourteenth of August following.

我自己对医学所知甚少，便劝他给自己开一些温和地热、润、强心的药，这样他或可把性命延长一段时间；因为月亮在第四宫与土星成六分，主病到死为止：他在随后的八月十四日去世。

Whether the Disease would be long or short?

病是长是短？

♄ Being author of the Disease, shewed it would be permanent, or of some continuance, as page 248. for he is a ponderous, slow Planet: besides, the Angles of the Figure are all fixed, the ☽ and ☉ both in fixed Signes, and in □, out of Angles, both in the Termes of an Infortune; ♂ Lord of the ascendant and sixt in a fixed Signe; all these portended the longitude of the Disease: Besides, the Antiscion of ♂ fals neer the ☉, and thereby afflicteth him, being the Luminary of the time.

土星是致病者，表示病会持久，或拖延一段时间，如第二百四十八页，因为他是沉重而迟缓的行星：此外，盘的四角都是固定星座，月亮和太阳都在固定星座，彼此从角宫上成四分，又都在凶星的界里；上升主星兼第六宫主星火星在固定星座：这些都预示病程漫长。还有，火星的映点落在太阳附近，因此侵害了太阳，而太阳是当时的当令之光。
