卷二·第四十八章　仆人能否得自由；第七宫与卜卦四十三警句

If a Servant shall get free from his Master?

仆人能否脱离他的主人而得自由？

THe first house, the Lord thereof, and the ☽, shall signifie the Servant; the tenth house and the Lord of that Signe shall denote his Master, let his condition be what it will be in this judgment; consider if the Lord of the ascendant be joyned to the Lord of the tenth house, and whether it be a perfect ☌, whether by body or aspect, whether with reception or not: if it be a ☌ by degree and minute, the Servant shall be freed easily, and in a short time ; but if the Lord of the ascendant be separated from the Lord of the tenth some few minutes, it's an argument he is as good as freed already from his Master: if no such ☌ or aspect be betwixt the Lord of the ascendant, and Lord of the tenth, then have recourse to the ☽, and judge the same of her, as if she had been Lord of the ascendant, &c. I mean if she be so aspected as abovesaid.

第一宫、其主星与月亮代表仆人；第十宫与该星座的主星代表他的主人，在这一判断里不论主人身份如何；要考虑上升主星是否与第十宫主星相合，是否是完全的会合，是星体相会还是相位，有无接纳：若是度分不差的会合，仆人会容易而迅速地得自由；但若上升主星已离开第十宫主星几分，那就是他其实已等于摆脱了主人的论据：若上升主星与第十宫主星之间没有这样的会合或相位，就求诸月亮，把她当作上升主星一样判断，等等；我是说，若她有上述那样的相位。

But if neither the ☽ or Lord of the ascendant be separated from the Lord of the tenth, consider if either of them be separated from the ☉, or joyned with him, judge in the like nature of them as you would have done with the Lord of the ascendant and the Lord of the tenth, the same aspects considered:

但若月亮与上升主星都没有离开第十宫主星，就看两者之一是否离开太阳，或与他相合，照你判断上升主星与第十宫主星的方式同样判断，考虑同样的相位：

But if the Question be determinate and not absolute, viz. if he demand, Shall I be freed from the service or slavery of this man my Master, in which I now live, or shall I ever be freed from his power? then see if the Lord of the ascendant be cadent from an Angle, and have no aspect to the ascendant, or is in aspect with any Planet in an Angle, or with a Planet that doth behold the ascendant, or if he be in the third or ninth, or joyned to a Planet in them; then say, he shall be freed from his service, and shall depart from his Master: say the same if you find the like aspects, or have the same occasion, from the aspects of the ☽.

但若所问是限定的而非笼统的，即他问：我能否摆脱我现在所服侍的这位主人的差役或奴役，或者我究竟能否摆脱他的掌控？那就看上升主星是否从角宫落下，与上升没有相位；或与某颗在角宫的行星成相位，或与某颗照看上升的行星成相位；或者他在第三或第九宫，或与其中的行星相合；那就说，他会摆脱这份差役，离开他的主人：若在月亮的相位上看到同样的情形，或有同样的机缘，也这样说。

But if the ☽ or Lord of the ascendant be in the ascendant, tenth, seventh or fourth house, or if either of them be joyned to a Planet being in those angles, and that Planet be Direct, he shall not be delivered from his Master; but if the aforesaid Planet be Retrograde, it argues freedome, but with slownesse and difficulty: If the Lord of the ascendant be impedited in the ascendant, tenth, seventh or fourth, by corporall ☌ of any ill Planet, or by his □ or ☍, or if he is entring combustion, he shall not be freed from his service, &c.

但若月亮或上升主星在上升、第十、第七或第四宫，或两者之一与在这些角宫里的行星相合，而那颗行星顺行，他就不会从主人那里得到解脱；但若前述那颗行星逆行，主得自由，只是缓慢而艰难：若上升主星在上升、第十、第七或第四宫，受任何凶星的星体会合、四分或对冲所阻碍，或他正进入焦伤，他就不会摆脱差役，等等。

Finis sextæ Domus.

第六宫终。

The Significations of the seventh House.

第七宫所主。

It signifies Marriage, open Enemies, Law-suits, Controversies, Contracts, Warres, Bargaines, Fugitives, Thefts, &c.

它主婚姻、公开的敌人、官司、争执、契约、战争、买卖、逃亡者、盗窃等。

Because the Demands which doe naturally appertain to the seventh house, require more consideration, and are more difficult to judge then of any other house, I have been enforced to be more large in delivering the opinions of the Ancients, as of some moderne Practisers; and have also published forty three significant Aphorismes; which, if well understood, will give great light, not only for better understanding what concernes this house, but the whole body of Astrology.

因为本属第七宫的那些问事，比其他任何一宫都需要更多考量，也更难判断，所以我不得不把古人的意见、以及一些今人从业者的意见讲得更详尽些；我还发表了四十三条意味深长的警句，若能好好理解，不仅对理解本宫之事，而且对整个占星学都大有启发。

Aphorismes and Considerations for better judging any Horary Question.

判断任何卜卦问题的警句与考量。

1 SEE the Question be radicall, or fit to be judged; which is, when the Lord of the ascendant and hour be of one nature or Triplicity.

一、看这一问是否成立，即是否适于判断；所谓成立，就是上升主星与时辰主星同一性质或同一三方。

2 Be not confident of the Judgment if either the first degrees or later of any Signe be ascending: if few degrees ascend, the matter is not yet ripe for judgment: if the later degrees arise, the matter of the Question is elapsed, and it's probable the Querent hath been tampering with others, or despaires of any successe: however, the Heavens advise you not to meddle with it at that time.

二、若上升的是某个星座的最初几度或最后几度，不要对判断有把握：上升的度数很少，事情还没有成熟到可以判断；上升的是末几度，所问之事已经过去了，很可能问卜者已经找别人摆弄过，或者对成功已不抱希望：无论如何，上天劝你此时不要插手。

3 The position of ♄ or ♂ in the tenth, and they peregrine or unfortunate, or the ☋ in that house, the Artist hardly gets credit by that Question.

三、土星或火星在第十宫，又游离或不幸，或龙尾在那一宫，星占家很难因这一问得到信任。

4 Judge not upon every light motion, or without premeditation of the Querent, nor upon slight and triviall Questions, or when the Querent hath not wit to know what he would demand.

四、不要对每个轻率的念头下判断，不要在问卜者未经深思时下判断，不要判断轻浮琐碎的问题，也不要在问卜者没有头脑弄清自己要问什么的时候下判断。

5 Have speciall regard to the strength or debility of the ☽, and it's farre better the Lord of the ascendant be unfortunate then she, for she brings unto us the strength and vertue of all the other Planets, and of one Planet to another.

五、要特别注意月亮的强弱，上升主星不幸，比她不幸要好得多，因为她把其他所有行星的力量与德性带给我们，也在行星之间彼此传递。

6 Behold the condition of ♄ in every Question, he is naturally ill by his excesse of cold; ♂ is of ill influence, because of his too much heat: in very truth, neither of them is cold or dry, but signifie so much in their vertue and operation, and therefore in all Questions they shew tardity and detriment in the Question, unlesse the ☽ and they receive each other in the signification.

六、每一问都要看土星的状况，他因过冷而本性不吉；火星因过热而影响不良：说真的，两者本身都不冷也不干，而是在其德性与作用上主这样的性质，所以在一切问题中，它们都主拖延与损害，除非月亮与它们在这一象征上互相接纳。

7 See the condition of ♃ and ♀ be observed, who naturally are Fortunes and temperate, and never import any malice, unlesse by accident: where they are Significators without reception, they put forward the matter, but they best performe the matter in question when they apply by △ or ⚹, and to purpose when in Essentiall Dignities.

七、要观察木星与金星的状况，它们本性是吉星，性情调和，除非出于偶然，从不带来恶意：它们为征象星而无接纳时，会推进事情，但以三分或六分入相时最能成事，若在必然尊贵之中，更能如意。

8 In every Question where the Fortunes are Significators, hope well; but if the Infortunes, then fear the worst, and accordingly order your businesse

八、凡吉星为征象星的问题，可抱好的希望；若是凶星，就作最坏的打算，并据此安排你的事务。

9 Generally consider the state of the ☽, for if she be void of course, there's no great hopes of the Question propounded, that it shall be effected; yet if she be in ♋ ♉ ♐ or ♓, your fear may be the lesse, for then she is not much impedited by being voyd of course.

九、一般要考虑月亮的状态，因为她若空亡，所提的问题就没有多大希望成事；但若她在巨蟹、金牛、射手或双鱼，你的担心可以少些，因为那时她不太受空亡之害。

10 See from what Planet the ☽ is separated, that Planet shewes what hath already been done: if from a Fortune good; if from a malevolent, ill; according to the nature of the house, &c.

十、看月亮离开哪颗行星，那颗行星表示已经发生的事：离开吉星，是好事；离开凶星，是坏事；依那一宫的性质而定，等等。

11 The application of the ☽ shewes the present condition of the thing demanded, viz. her applying by a good aspect, and in a good house, to a good Planet, intimates the strong hopes of the thing intended.

十一、月亮的入相表示所问之事的现状，即她以好的相位、在好的宫、入相于好的行星，暗示所图之事很有希望。

12 The application of the ☽ to a Planet in his Fall, signifies anguish, trouble and delayes in the thing demanded.

十二、月亮入相于在落处的行星，主所问之事有痛苦、麻烦与拖延。

13 A Retrograde Planet, or one in his first station, Significator in the Question, denotes ill in the Question, discord and much contradiction.

十三、逆行的行星，或在第一次留的行星，作为问题的征象星，主问题不吉，有不和与诸多反对。

14 We ought warily to consider if evill Planets be Significators in any thing, for if they predict evill in the thing quesited, the vengeance is more heavy; if they foretell of any good, it's lesse then what is expected, it's imperfect, and nothing therein comes, without infinite solicitation and affliction, &c.

十四、若凶星在任何事上是征象星，我们须审慎考虑，因为它们若预言所问之事有恶，报应就更沉重；若预示有什么好事，也比期望的少，而且不完满，非经无数的请托与苦楚，一样也不来，等等。

15 A Planet that is slow in motion, prolongs the thing quesited after, so that it's hardly performed; the nature of the Signe wherein the Planet is, doth herein much advantage the judgment.

十五、运行迟缓的行星，会把所寻之事拖长，难以成就；该行星所在星座的性质，对这一判断大有帮助。

16 When the Infortunes are Significators of any evill, doe you well consider if the Fortunes, viz. ♃ or ♀, cast not any aspect unto them, then the evill intended formerly is lessened; doe so when the Fortunes are Significators.

十六、凶星为某恶事的征象星时，你要好好考虑，吉星即木星或金星是否对它们投出某种相位，有的话，先前所主的恶就会减轻；吉星为征象星时也这样看。

17 If the Fortunes signifie any thing, and are cadent, or ill placed in Dignities, or behold not the ascendant, or are Retrograde, then are they impedited, and shall performe little, if not received.

十七、若吉星主某事，却在果宫，或尊贵上位置不佳，或不照看上升，或逆行，它们就受了阻碍，若未得接纳，就成事很少。

18 Notwithstanding Reception, if he be an Infortune, he performes but little; but if the same happen when the Fortunes are Significators, the thing is perfected.

十八、即使有接纳，若他是凶星，成事也少；但若同样情形发生在吉星为征象星时，事情就会成就。

19 A Planet Peregrine, viz. having no essentiall Dignities where he is, he is malicious beyond expression; if he be in essentiall Dignities, the lesse; for then he is like a noble soule that hath his enemy in his clutches, but scornes to hurt him.

十九、游离的行星，即在所在之处没有任何必然尊贵的，其恶意难以言表；若在必然尊贵之中，恶意就少些，因为那时他就像一个高贵的人，敌人已在他手中，却不屑伤害他。

20 And yet generally, if ♄ or ♂ be in House, Exaltation, Triplicity and Angles, and then have signification in a Question, they performe the thing desired.

二十、不过一般来说，若土星或火星在庙、旺、三方，又居角，而在问题中有所主，它们也会成就所求之事。

21 Confide not too much in the assistance a Fortune lends, unlesse he be in essentiall Dignities; for then he performes matters wholly, else but by halves.

二十一、不要太依赖吉星给的帮助，除非它在必然尊贵之中；那时它会把事情办得完满，否则只办一半。

22 When in a Question wherein both the Fortunes and Infortunes are either weak or equally ill placed, promise no successe upon that demand; deferre the Judgment untill the Heavens have a better Position.

二十二、在一个问题中，若吉星与凶星都弱，或同样位置不佳，就不要许诺那件请求会成功；把判断推迟到天象位置更好的时候。

23 Beware in all Judgments, when the Significator of the question is either Combust, or in Opposition to the ☉, he will then signifie nothing of the matter, no good, nor is he able to bring any thing to perfection.

二十三、在一切判断中都要当心：问题的征象星若焦伤，或与太阳对冲，他就对事情毫无表示，没有好处，也无力使任何事情成就。

24 One Infortune joyned to another, if good be signified by their aspect, yet will it have no effect, or come to any thing: If they signifie evill, it's probable that it may fall out with more malice then expected.

二十四、一颗凶星与另一颗凶星相合，若它们的相位主好事，也不会有效果或成什么事；若主坏事，很可能来得比预期更凶。

25 The Lord of the ascendant out of his essentiall Dignities, Cadant, &c. shewes the Querent is out of all hopes in his businesse.

二十五、上升主星不在其必然尊贵之中、在果宫等等，表示问卜者对自己的事已完全不抱希望。

26 A Planet within twelve degrees of the ☉, is said to be under his Beames, and then hath no fortitude, let it be in what Signe it will; when a Planet is within sixteen minutes of the ☉, he is said to be in Cazimi, or heat of the ☉, and then it's an addition of fortune, and he is wondrous strong.

二十六、行星在太阳十二度之内，就说它在太阳光下，那时无论在什么星座都没有力量；行星在太阳十六分之内，就说它在日核，即在太阳的热中，那是好运的增添，它非常强大。

27 See to what Planet the Significator commits his disposition, and if Orientall or Occidentall; if it be to ♄ ♃ or ♂, and they Orientall, the matter is sooner performed; later, if Occidentall, doe the contrary in ♀ and ☿.

二十七、看征象星把他的处置交给哪颗行星，以及那颗行星是东出还是西入：若交给土星、木星或火星，而它们东出，事情就成得快些；西入则慢些；金星与水星则相反。

28 Observe if the Planet that is Significator of the thing desired, be in a fixed Signe, moveable or common : fixed Signes shew stability, and that the thing shall continue, whether it be begun, or is to be begun: common Signes shew the oft probability of perfecting the thing, and yet not its conclusion: moveable Signes shew a sudden resolution or conclusion of the matter one way or other. From hence we begin Foundations of Houses and Townes when Significators are fixed; short Journeys when they are in moveable: but in things wherein we desire a mediocrity, we elect common Signes.

二十八、观察所求之事的征象星在固定、启动还是双体星座：固定星座表示稳定，事情会持续，不论是已经开始还是将要开始；双体星座表示事情屡有可能成就，却不能了结；启动星座表示事情突然有决断或了结，或这样或那样。由此，我们在征象星在固定星座时奠定房屋与城镇的基础；在启动星座时作短途旅行；而在我们希望适中的事上，就选双体星座。

29 The Lord of the ascendant or the ☽ with the Head or Taile of the Dragon, brings damage to the Question propounded; see in what house they are in, and receive signification from thence.

二十九、上升主星或月亮与龙头或龙尾同在，会给所提的问题带来损害；看它们在哪一宫，从那里取其象征。

30 Look whether the degree of the ascendant, or place of the Signe the Significator is in, be the then place of any Eclipse at hand; though the matter propounded be in a faire way to be concluded, yet shall it insensibly receive prejudice when least is expected, and hardly be concluded.

三十、看上升的度数，或征象星所在星座的位置，是否正是即将发生的某次交食的位置；那么所提的事情虽看来很有希望了结，却会在最想不到的时候不知不觉受到损害，很难了结。

31 If you find the ☽ impedited in any Question, be it what it will, there will be the like stay, demur or hinderance in the thing quesited; and indeed there's seldome good end comes of a Question where the ☽ is impedited; if it be in going to Warre, you may feare the life of the Querent; if in a Journey, ill successe; if Marriage, an ill end of Wooing, &c.

三十一、若你在任何问题中发现月亮受阻碍，不论问的是什么，所问之事就会有同样的停顿、延搁或阻碍；事实上，月亮受阻碍的问题很少有好结果：若问出征，你可以担心问卜者的性命；若问旅行，结果不好；若问婚姻，求爱结局不好，等等。

32 If the Lord of the Question or the ☽ be in a Signe opposite to his owne house, as ☿ in ♐ or ♓, &c. the Querent hath no good hopes of his demands, he despaires, nor doth he delight in it, nor doth he care whether it be performed or not.

三十二、若问题之主或月亮在与自己的庙相对的星座，如水星在射手或双鱼等，问卜者对所求之事没有什么好希望，他已经绝望，也不以此为乐，事情成不成他都不在乎。

33 Consider diligently the Planet impediting the Signifier of the thing demanded, and what house he is either Lord of, or is posited in; from the nature or person of that house require the cause obstructing.

三十三、仔细考虑阻碍所问之事征象星的那颗行星，看他是哪一宫的主星，或在哪一宫；从那一宫的性质或人物求阻碍的原因。

34 The neerer your Significator is to an Angle, the more good you may expect; lesse, if placed in a Succedant house; little, if in a Cadent.

三十四、你的征象星离角宫越近，可期待的好处越多；在续宫则少些；在果宫则很少。

35 In all Questions, know there's not so great an affliction to the ☽, as when she is in ☌ with the ☉; the ill aspects of the Infortunes doth much afflict her, but none so powerfull as her Combustion.

三十五、在一切问题中都要知道，月亮受的伤害没有比她与太阳会合更大的；凶星的恶相位对她伤害很大，但都不如她焦伤那样有力。

36 In any question, see if an Infortune aspect your Significator, and whether they be both Peregrine, Retrograde, Cadent, or in Signes contrary to their owne nature, it may then be doubted they inferre such a mischiefe in the question, as is inevitable, according to naturall causes.

三十六、在任何问题中，看是否有凶星与你的征象星成相位，以及两者是否都游离、逆行、在果宫，或在与本性相反的星座；那就可以担心，它们在这一问中带来的祸害，依自然的因由是无法避免的。

37 Planets that are Significators in any thing, if they are in ☌, and in a Signe agreeing to their owne nature, then the thing quesited after is brought to perfection with much ease and facility, else not.

三十七、作为某事征象星的几颗行星，若彼此会合，又在与本性相合的星座，所问之事就会十分容易地成就，否则不然。

38 Have speciall regard to the Significators, and whether any frustration or prohibition be before the perfect aspect: the Planet frustrating describes the party or cause hindering the matter demanded.

三十八、要特别注意征象星，看在完成相位之前是否有挫败或阻止：造成挫败的行星描述阻碍所问之事的人或原因。

39 Ever consider the ⊗, which if well dignified in any house, the querent gets by men, or things denoted by that house; and so, if ill-dignified, damage from thence.

三十九、永远要考虑福点，它若在任一宫尊贵良好，问卜者就从那一宫所主的人或物得利；若尊贵不良，就从那里受损。

40 In questions of Marriage, an unfortunate Planet in the seventh threatens ill agreement in Marriage, unlesse the same Planet be a Significator at the Birth.

四十、在婚姻问题中，第七宫有一颗不幸的行星，威胁婚姻不和，除非那颗行星在本命中是征象星。

41 If the Lord of the eighth be impedited or infortunate in the eighth, the querent shall receive prejudice by the death of some woman, or concerning some debts due unto him from men deceased.

四十一、若第八宫主星在第八宫受阻碍或不幸，问卜者会因某个女人的死而受损，或在已故之人欠他的债上受损。

42 In what house you find ♃ and ♀ well dignified, you may expect benefit from such men and things as are signified by that house; as if in the third, from Kinred; in the fourth, from Father, or by Lands, &c. in the fifth by Play, &c. and so in other houses.

四十二、你在哪一宫发现木星与金星尊贵良好，就可以期待从那一宫所主的人与物得益：如在第三宫，得益于亲族；在第四宫，得益于父亲或田地等；在第五宫，得益于游戏等；其他各宫依此类推。

43 Beware of men and things appertaing to that house wherein ☋ is in; it seldome failes, but the querent shall receive damage, scandall or slander from men and matter signified by the house he is in.

四十三、要提防龙尾所在之宫所主的人与事；问卜者很少不从他所在之宫所主的人与事那里受到损害、丑闻或诽谤。
