卷二·第四十九章（一）　论婚姻：成与不成，阻碍从何而来

Of Marriage.

论婚姻。

IF a Question be asked of Marriage, behold the ascendant and the Lord thereof, and the ☽, and the Planet from whom the ☽ is separated, and give those for the Significators of the Querent; and the seventh house, and the Lord thereof, and the Planet to whom the ☽ applieth, for the Signifiers of him or her concerning whom the Question is asked : and if it be a man that asketh the Question, joyne the ☉ and ☽ with his Significators, and make him partner in the signification; and if it be a woman, joyne ♀ and ☽, and make them partners: afterwards, behold what application the Lord of the ascendant or ☽ hath with the Lord of the seventh, and what application that Planet hath from whom the ☽ is separated, with the Planet to whom she doth apply, or ☉ with ♀; for if the Lord of the ascendant or the ☽ apply to the Lord of the seventh house, it doth signifie the Querent shall have his or her desire, yet with many petitions, solicitations and prayers: and if the application be by □ or ☍, and with reception, it signifieth that it shall be brought to passe with a kind of slownesse, labour and travell: but if the Lord of the seventh apply to the Lord of the ascendant, or the Planet to whom the ☽ doth apply, unto the Planet from whom she is separate; or if the Lord of the seventh be in the ascendant, the matter shall be brought easily to passe, with great good will of the man or woman quesited after; chiefly if there be an application by △ or ⚹ aspect.

若有人问婚姻，看上升及其主星、月亮，以及月亮所离开的那颗行星，把这些给问卜者作征象星；把第七宫、其主星，以及月亮所入相的那颗行星，给所问的那个他或她作征象星：若问卜的是男人，就把太阳与月亮加进他的征象星，让太阳在这一象征中作伙伴；若是女人，就加上金星与月亮，作为伙伴：然后看上升主星或月亮与第七宫主星有什么入相，月亮所离的那颗行星与她所入的那颗行星之间有什么入相，或太阳与金星之间；因为若上升主星或月亮入相于第七宫主星，表示问卜者会如愿，但要经过许多请求、恳求与祷告；若以四分或对冲入相而有接纳，表示事情会成，只是有些迟缓、辛劳与奔波：但若第七宫主星入相于上升主星，或月亮所入的行星入相于月亮所离的行星，或第七宫主星在上升，事情就会容易成就，所问的那位男子或女子十分乐意；尤其是以三分或六分入相时。

Aphorismes of Alkindus touching Marriage.

阿尔金杜斯论婚姻的警句。

[* Or, if the Lord of the seventh apply to the Lord of the ascendant.] WHen the Lord of the ascendant doth apply to the Lord of the 7th house, * it's an argument the Marriage shall be performed and done: also, if the ☽ doe apply unto ♀, and she strong, encreasing in her motion, and in some of her owne Dignities, and the ☽ likewise, the Marriage shall be concluded: if ♀ doe behold the ☉, and the ☉ have any dignity in the ascendant, and behold the Lord of his house, viz. of the Signe wherein he is, it doth signifie likewise the Marriage shall be concluded ; but if the Planet applying, and he to whom he doth apply, be both cadent from the angles, and especially if their Lords doe not behold them, it doth signifie there shall be good hopes at the first, but by dallying and tracting the time, there shall be trouble, and no Marriage at all performed:

［＊或者，若第七宫主星入相于上升主星。］当上升主星入相于第七宫主星时，＊这是婚事会成就的论据：再者，若月亮入相于金星，而金星强、行速增加、在她自己的某种尊贵中，月亮也如此，婚事就会谈成：若金星照看太阳，而太阳在上升有某种尊贵，又照看他的庙主，即他所在星座之主，也同样表示婚事会谈成；但若入相的行星与被入相的行星都从角宫落下，尤其若它们的庙主不照看它们，表示起初很有希望，但因拖拉耽搁，会生出麻烦，婚事终究不成：

Also, if ☽ ☉ ♀ and Lord of the seventh, and Lord of the ascendant be in angles, and they beholding one another, or if their Lords behold them, though with □ or ☍, yet it signifieth, the matter shall be first in despaire or suspended, but afterwards it shall by the will of God, be brought to passe, and finished by the consent of all parties.

再者，若月亮、太阳、金星、第七宫主星与上升主星都在角宫，彼此照看，或它们的庙主照看它们，即使是四分或对冲，也表示事情起初会陷于绝望或被搁置，但后来会凭上帝的旨意成就，并经各方同意而完成。

Of Marriage, whether it shall take effect or no?

论婚姻，能否成事？

Give unto the Querent the Lord of the ascendant, the ☽ and the Planet from whom the ☽ is separated; and unto the party enquired, the Lord of the seventh, and the Planet to whom the ☽ doth apply; and if the Querent be a man, then adde the ☉, but if a woman, adde ♀; and then behold what application there is between the Lord of the ascendant and the Lord of the seventh; for if the Lord of the seventh be in the ascendant, or apply to the Lord thereof, it will unwillingly be consented unto by the party desired; but if the Lord of the ascendant or the ☽ apply unto the Lord of the seventh, or be in the seventh, the Querent shall obtaine his purpose by his owne labour; but if none of these happen, yet if there be translation of light between them, then it shall be effected by the meanes of Friends or Acquaintance; also the ☽ in the tenth signifieth the same, also, the application of the ☽ with ♀ effecteth the matter, but by mediation of Friends: also, the application of the ☉ and ♀, especially when ☉ hath dignity in the seventh, idem: if the Lord of the ascendant be in the seventh, or with the Lord thereof, or behold him with a good aspect, or if the Lord of the seventh be in the ascendant, or with the Lord of the ascendant, or behold him with a good aspect, it doth give great encouragement for effecting the matter.

把上升主星、月亮与月亮所离的行星给问卜者；把第七宫主星与月亮所入的行星给所问之人；若问卜者是男人，再加太阳，若是女人，加金星；然后看上升主星与第七宫主星之间有什么入相：若第七宫主星在上升，或入相于上升主星，所求之人会不情愿地答应；但若上升主星或月亮入相于第七宫主星，或在第七宫，问卜者会凭自己的努力达到目的；若这些都没有发生，但它们之间有光线传递，事情就会借朋友或熟人之力成就；月亮在第十宫也主同样的事；月亮入相金星也能成事，但要借朋友居间：太阳与金星入相，尤其太阳在第七宫有尊贵时，亦同：若上升主星在第七宫，或与第七宫主星同在，或以好相位照看他；或第七宫主星在上升，或与上升主星同在，或以好相位照看他，都大大鼓舞事情的成就。

Of Marriage.

论婚姻。

If a man aske, his Significators are, first, the Lord of the ascendant: secondly, the ☽; thirdly, the Planet the ☽ is separated from; fourthly, ☉, the naturall significator of men.

若男人问，他的征象星是：第一，上升主星；第二，月亮；第三，月亮所离的行星；第四，太阳，男人的自然征象星。

[It shall be.] [* Viz. one in the Termes, the other in the Triplicity of the Significator, or the like.] The Significators of the woman are, the Lord of the seventh, the Planet the ☽ applieth unto, the Planet in the seventh, ♀ the naturall significatrix of women: the like judge for the woman if she aske the Question, (mutatis mutandis) that is, the ascendant and other Significators, and ♀; the question asked by the woman, the seventh and his Lord, the Planet the ☽ applies unto; these are for the man, the ascendant and his Lord, the Planet the ☽ is separate from, the ☽ and ♀, so the querent hath three Significators, the party desired hath also three:

［会成。］［＊即一个在征象星的界里，另一个在其三方里，或诸如此类。］女人的征象星是：第七宫主星、月亮所入的行星、第七宫里的行星、金星即女人的自然女征象星：若是女人问，也照此判断（作必要的变更），即上升与其他征象星，以及金星；女人问时，第七宫及其主星、月亮所入的行星，这些归男人；上升及其主星、月亮所离的行星、月亮与金星，归女人；所以问卜者有三个征象星，所求之人也有三个：

It shall be, if the Lord of the ascendant or ☽ be in the seventh; secondly, if the Planet the ☽ separates from, applies to the Planet the ☽ applies to; thirdly, or the ☉ and ♀ apply to each other; fourthly, the Lord of the first in the seventh, or seventh in the first; fiftly, any translation of light from the Significators, or Reception of the Significators, or any collection by a More weighty Planet, the * Signifiers in interchangeable Dignities, the ☽ in the seventh giving vertue to the Lord of the ascendant, or Lord of the seventh.

会成，若：第一，上升主星或月亮在第七宫；第二，月亮所离的行星入相于月亮所入的行星；第三，或太阳与金星彼此入相；第四，第一宫主在第七宫，或第七宫主在第一宫；第五，征象星之间有任何光线传递，或征象星有接纳，或由一颗较重的行星光线收集，或＊征象星在彼此的尊贵中互换，月亮在第七宫把力量给上升主星或第七宫主星。

[Which love most, or desire it most.] The Lord of the seventh in the ascendant, the party desired loveth best: The Lord of the ascendant in the seventh, the Querent loveth best; and so of the other Significators, for those that apply argue most love, &c. The Lord of the seventh in the seventh, especially in one of his owne houses, the party desired is free from love, hath little mind to Marriage, and her Portion is knowne, or the mans.

［谁爱得多，或谁更想要。］第七宫主星在上升，所求之人爱得深：上升主星在第七宫，问卜者爱得深；其他征象星也是这样，入相的一方表示爱得多，等等。第七宫主星在第七宫，尤其在他自己的某个庙里，所求之人心无所恋，不太想婚嫁，她的嫁妆是清楚的，或男方的家产是清楚的。

The Significators of the party desired, not beholding the Significators of the Querent, noteth the love of some other more then the Querent, or an aversnesse to the party now enquirng.

所求之人的征象星不照看问卜者的征象星，表示对方爱别人胜过问卜者，或对现在来问的这个人有厌恶之心。

The application of the Significators frustrated, notes the Marriage to be broken off, by such a person or thing as that Signifier noteth, which you may know by the house he is in & Lord of, viz. if by the Lord of the 2d house, want of Riches; if Lord of the 3d by the Brother, &c. contrariwise, the Marriage being presaged by translation of light, or collection, it shall be furthered by such a one (as above mentioned) viz. if by the Lord of the second, by some friend promising Dowry; third, a Brother; tenth, a Mother; fifth or eleventh, a Friend; sixt, an Unckle, Aunt, or a Servant: Where note, that Marriages promised by ☌ □ or ☍, note performance with much adoe; △ or ⚹, easie; with Reception, best of all.

征象星的入相受挫败，表示婚事会被那个造成挫败的征象星所代表的人或事打断，这可以从它所在、所主之宫知道，即若是第二宫主，因为缺钱；若是第三宫主，因为兄弟，等等；反之，若婚事由光线传递或光线收集预示，就会由这样一个人（如上所说）促成，即若由第二宫主，是某个答应出嫁妆的朋友；第三宫，兄弟；第十宫，母亲；第五或第十一宫，朋友；第六宫，叔伯、姑姨或仆人：这里要注意，以会合、四分或对冲许诺的婚事，表示成得很费周折；三分或六分，容易；有接纳，最好。

What shall be the occasion of hindring the Marriage.

什么会成为婚事的阻碍。

Having carefully observed, that although there seem great probability of effecting the Marriage enquired of, yet you find just cause to judge, it shall not either really be acted, or much obstruction will be before it can be done; and you are desirous to know from whence the impediment shall come, the better to prevent it; consider what evill Planet it is who doth hinder the Reception of the disposition of the Significators, viz. of the man and woman, or who frustrates their aspect, or prohibits them, or interjects his Rayes betwixt the Significators; if he be the Lord of the second, they break off on the Querent's behalf, Money or Fortune being wanting on that side, or poverty objected: if it be the Lord of the third, the Querent's Kinred, Brethren or Sisters, or some untoward Neighbour, or some Journey, &c. if the Lord of the fourth, the Parent will not agree, he will part with no Lands, no House, Houses or Tenements, will settle no Estate: if the Lord of the fifth Children may be the occasion, (if either party have any;) or if a Batchelour propounds, perhaps it's objected, he either is not capable of getting a Child, or that he hath had a Bastard, or is scandalized about such a thing, or that it's feared the party will be wanton, or given to luxury, too much to his pleasure and pastime, &c. vary your rule, and it serves if a woman propound, &c.

你仔细观察后发现，虽然所问的婚事看似很有可能成，你却有正当的理由断定它不会真的成，或者成之前会有许多阻碍；你想知道阻碍从哪里来，好事先防范；那就考虑是哪颗凶星阻碍了征象星即男女双方之间处置的接纳，或挫败了它们的相位，或阻止它们，或把自己的光线插在征象星之间；若他是第二宫主，婚事因问卜者一方而破裂，那一方缺钱或缺财，或被指为贫穷：若是第三宫主，是问卜者的亲族、兄弟姊妹，或某个乖张的邻居，或某次旅行等；若是第四宫主，父母不会同意，他不肯分出田地、房屋、房舍，不肯指定任何财产：若是第五宫主，可能因子女而起（若任一方有子女）；或若提亲的是单身汉，或许有人指他不能生育，或说他有私生子，或在这类事上有丑闻，或担心此人会放荡、好奢逸，过于贪图玩乐消遣等；若是女人提亲，变通此法也同样适用，等等。

If it be the Lord of the sixt, either some of his Fathers Kinred, viz. some Unckle or a Servant, or the like, or some infirmity or sicknesse in the querent may be the cause impediting.

若是第六宫主，是他父亲那边的某个亲戚，即某位叔伯，或某个仆人之类，或问卜者的某种病痛，可能是阻碍的原因。

If it be a Planet in the seventh, some other he or she Friend will impedite, or a publick Enemy, or one he or she have formerly had variance with, or a Law-suit, &c.

若是第七宫里的行星，会有另一位男友或女友阻挠，或一个公开的敌人，或他或她以前有过争执的人，或一场官司等。

If it be the Lord of the eighth, it may be feared Death will bereave the querent of Life ere the Marriage, or the quesited hath not a sufficient Portion, their Estate is disliked, it gives no content, it will not be accepted.

若是第八宫主，恐怕死亡会在婚前夺去问卜者的生命，或所求之人的嫁妆不够，他们的家产不合意，不能令人满意，不会被接受。

If the Lord of the ninth, one or other of the quesited's Kinred or difference in Religion, or some busie-headed Priest, or by reason of some long Journey to be undertaken by the querent, &c.

若是第九宫主，是所求之人的某位亲戚，或宗教上的分歧，或某个爱管闲事的教士，或因为问卜者要出一趟远门等。

If the Lord of the tenth the Father of the quesited, or Mother of the querent, or some principall man, Officer or Magistrate.

若是第十宫主，是所求之人的父亲，或问卜者的母亲，或某位要人、官员或长官。

If the Lord of the eleventh, the Friends of both parties dislike the Match, or such as at first brought on the matter, will now endeavour to dissolve the Match.

若是第十一宫主，双方的朋友都不喜欢这门亲事，或者当初促成此事的人，现在要设法拆散。

If the Lord of the twelfth, then there is some under-hand dealing and much jugling in the businesse, the matter shall be much retarded, and the querent shall never know by whom; the querent is much slandered, or some scandall privately insinuated doth much wrong, and will quite break the matter.

若是第十二宫主，那就有暗中的勾当，事中多有诡计，事情会大大延误，问卜者永远不知道是谁所为；问卜者受到很多诽谤，或某种暗中散布的丑闻大大伤害他，会彻底毁掉这件事。

As you have notions whereby you may understand what may be the obstacle in any Marriage, so by the same rules, rightly varied, you shall find who will assist or befriend the querent in his suit, or will endeavour to doe him good therein; I have herein dealt very candidly, and expressed the whole truth.

你既有了这些概念来理解任何婚事可能有哪些阻碍，那么用同样的规则，正确地变通，你就能找出谁会在求婚之事上帮助、成全问卜者，或尽力为他做好事；我在这里写得十分坦率，说出了全部实情。
