卷二·第四十九章（二）　婚姻诸细目：时间、对方、和睦与先死

Whether a man shall Marry.

一个男人会不会结婚。

If the ☽ behold the ☉ or ♀ by a good aspect, or the Lord of the ascendant be in the seventh, or the Lord of the seventh in the ascendant, or either of them behold other with a good aspect, it signifieth Marriage to the Querent.

若月亮以好相位照看太阳或金星，或上升主星在第七宫，或第七宫主星在上升，或两者彼此以好相位照看，表示问卜者会结婚。

I observe, if the Significators be in Prolificall Signes, or Dignities of ♀, the party enquiring doth marry.

我观察到，若征象星在多产星座，或在金星的尊贵里，来问的人会结婚。

The time of Marriage.

结婚的时间。

The degree of the application of ☽ to ☉ or ♀, or Lord of the ascendant to the Lord of the seventh, or Lord of the seventh to the Lord of the ascendant; if it be in moveable Signs, Dayes; in common Signes, Moneths; in fixed Signes, Yeers; according to that time the Marriage shall be performed.

看月亮到太阳或金星、上升主星到第七宫主星、或第七宫主星到上升主星的入相还差几度；若在启动星座，以日计；在双体星座，以月计；在固定星座，以年计；婚事就在那个时间成就。

This must be understood when you find strong testimonies of Marriage, and that the Significators are swift.

这要在你发现结婚的证据强、而征象星行速快时，才这样理解。

How many Husbands a woman shall have.

一个女人会有几个丈夫。

Behold from the degree of the tenth house to the degree of ♂, and so many Planets as you shall find between them, so many Husbands shall she have; but if ♂ be in the eleventh house, then look from ♂ to ♃, and judge accordingly: some judge from ♂ to the Lord of the tenth; these rules are Arabicall: plurality of Husbands is best adjudged from the Lord of the seventh, and ☉ ♂ being in common Signes, or many Planets in the seventh, or ☉ in ⚹ or △ to many Planets in the seventh, argues plurality, or more then one.

从第十宫的度数看到火星的度数，其间有几颗行星，她就会有几个丈夫；但若火星在第十一宫，就从火星看到木星，照样判断：有人从火星看到第十宫主星；这些规则是阿拉伯人的：丈夫多寡最好从第七宫主星判断，太阳、火星在双体星座，或第七宫里有许多行星，或太阳与第七宫里的许多行星成六分或三分，都主多于一个。

From what part one shall Marry.

从哪个方向结亲。

If the Lord of the seventh be in the ninth, he shall marry a Stranger, &c. if the Lord of the seventh and of the ascendant be in one quarter of Heaven, or in one house or Signe, usually the party marries one neer to the place of their own abode: consider the Signe of the seventh, the Signe and quarter of Heaven the Lord of the seventh is in, and judge by the major testimonies, from what part of Heaven the party shall live whom the querent shall marry; as if most concurre in South testimonies, the South; mix the quarter of Heaven and Signe, preferring the Sign before the quarter: but this will be best explained upon an example.

若第七宫主星在第九宫，他会娶一个外乡人等；若第七宫主星与上升主星在天空的同一象限，或在同一宫、同一星座，此人通常娶住处附近的人：考虑第七宫的星座、第七宫主星所在的星座与天空象限，依多数证据判断问卜者要娶的人住在天空的哪个方位；比如多数证据都指南方，就是南方；把天空象限与星座结合起来，以星座为先：但这最好用一个实例来说明。

What manner of person he or she is.

他或她是怎样的人。

For the man, note the Planet the ☽ is with; as if with ♀, say she is faire, slender and pleasant; and for the woman, judge by the Planet the ☉ beholdeth; ☉ in △ or ⚹ of ♄, wise and painfull; ☉ aspecting ♃, honest; and so of the rest: the ☉ and ☽ in □ or ☍, note contention, separation and discords.

为男人看，就看月亮与哪颗行星在一起；比如与金星，就说她美丽、苗条、可人；为女人看，就看太阳照看哪颗行星：太阳与土星成三分或六分，主明智而勤苦；太阳照看木星，主正直；其余类推：太阳与月亮成四分或对冲，主争执、分离与不和。

Whether man or woman be more noble.

男女哪一方出身更高贵。

If the Lord of the seventh be in an angle, and the Lord of the ascendant in a succedant house, the woman is best descended ; and so if the Lord of the ascendant be in an angle, judge accordingly; in like manner one may judge of two Companions, or any one else: A more assured way is, by observing whether of the Significators is most superiour, and most potentiall in essentiall Dignities; if no such thing be, who is best placed in an angle, is most noble; and this will not faile.

若第七宫主星在角宫，上升主星在续宫，女方出身更好；若上升主星在角宫，也照此判断；同样可以判断两个同伴或任何其他人：更可靠的办法是看哪一方的征象星最居上位、在必然尊贵上最有力；若没有这种情形，就看谁在角宫位置最好，谁就更高贵；这不会出错。

Who shall be Master of the two.

两人之中谁做主。

Behold the Lord of the ascendant and the ☽; if the ☽ or the Lord of the ascendant be received in an angle, and he that is the receiver be an heavy or ponderous Planet, the querent shall be Master; and whether Significators shall be found weak, ill dignified, or in cadent houses, that party shall be subject.

看上升主星与月亮；若月亮或上升主星在角宫受到接纳，而那个接纳者是一颗沉重的行星，问卜者就做主；哪一方的征象星弱、尊贵差，或在果宫，那一方就受制。

Whether she be rich or not.

她是否富有。

If the man aske, see the Lord of the eighth, or Planet in the eighth, for if they be strong, or ☽ applying to the Lord of the eighth by a good aspect, then she is wealthy (& e contra, poor;) if the woman ask of the man, and of her estate, judge after the same manner, for (eadem est ratio.)

若男人问，就看第八宫主星或第八宫里的行星，它们若强，或月亮以好相位入相于第八宫主星，她就富有（反之，则穷）；若女人问男方及其家产，同样判断，因为（道理相同）。

Whether the Marriage be Legitimate.

婚姻是否正当合法。

If the Significators of them, either of the man or woman be vitiated or joyned to ♄ or ♂, and they not Significators in the Question, or if they be with ☋, it sheweth unlawfull Marriage, viz. there hath been some wrangling or claime laid to the party by some former man or woman.

若任一方即男方或女方的征象星受损，或与土星或火星相合，而土星火星在这一问中并非征象星，或它们与龙尾同在，就表示婚姻不合法，即先前有过某个男人或女人与此人有纠纷，或对此人提出过主张。

How they shall agree after Marriage.

婚后两人能否和睦。

If the Figure performe Marriage, note if the Lord of the ascendant and Lord of the seventh aspect each other with △ or ⚹, they agree well: ☽ beholding her Dispositor, or Lord of the Exaltation of the house wherein she is, with good aspect, idem: The Lord of the seventh more weighty, and in an angle, she will be master, or strive for it: if neither the Lord of the ascendant, or of the seventh be in angles, then note the weightier, for that party signified by him, shall be master; ☉ impedited, worst for the man; if ♀ be impedited, worst for the woman; if ☽ be impedited or unfortunate, is ill for them both.

若盘许婚，看上升主星与第七宫主星是否以三分或六分相照，若是，他们相处融洽：月亮以好相位照看她的定位星，或她所在之宫的旺主，亦同：第七宫主星较重，又在角宫，她会做主，或会争着做主：若上升主星与第七宫主星都不在角宫，就看哪颗较重，它所代表的那一方就做主；太阳受阻碍，对男人最不利；金星受阻碍，对女人最不利；月亮受阻碍或不幸，对两人都不好。

Disagree.

不和。

The Lord of the ascendant and Lord of the seventh in □ or ☍, Lord of the ☽ impedited beholding the ascendant, or ♄, ♂ or a Retrograde or Combust Planet in the ascendant, doth note contention ever by the querent; & e contra, judge the like if the Lord of the seventh suffer the same afflictions, that then the quesited shall be the occasion of strife: the ☽ in her fall, or at □ or ☍ with ♄ or ♂, or any Retrograde Planet, if the ☽ then behold the ascendant, noteth brawling ever moved by the woman; ♄ ♂ or ☋ in the ascendant, idem, if the question be asked by the man.

上升主星与第七宫主星成四分或对冲，月亮的主星受阻碍而照看上升，或土星、火星，或一颗逆行或焦伤的行星在上升，表示争执总由问卜者挑起；反之，若第七宫主星受同样的侵害，也同样判断，那就是所求之人引起纷争：月亮在落处，或与土星、火星或任何逆行行星成四分或对冲，若月亮那时照看上升，表示吵闹总由女人挑起；若是男人来问，土星、火星或龙尾在上升，亦同。

Who shall be the cause of their Strife, or the authour of their Good.

谁会是他们争吵的起因，或他们好事的促成者。

If the Lord of the third be that Planet who doth afflict or impedite, and be in the ascendant or seventh house, it shall be by Brethren or Kinred; an Infortune in the tenth, notes brawling, and continuall chiding and wrangling:

若第三宫主是那颗侵害或阻碍的行星，又在上升或第七宫，争吵就由兄弟或亲族而起；凶星在第十宫，主吵闹，没完没了的斥责与争吵：

In the fourth, either a Divorcement or a willingnesse to it, or hinderance in Dowry; the ☽ infortunate beholding the ascendant, note brawling, separation and dishonest living: ill Planets in the tenth or fourth, ill persons make contention, or their Parents; no application between the Planet the ☽ separates from, and the Planet unto whom she doth apply, notes contention alwayes: if the ☽ doe aspect, or be in ☌ with ♄ or ♂, one of them shall dye quickly, or have some misfortune; if this ☌ be in the tenth or fourth, in a masculine Signe, the man shall suffer; if in a feminine Signe, the woman:

在第四宫，主离婚或有离婚之意，或嫁妆上有阻碍；月亮不幸而照看上升，主吵闹、分离与不正当的生活：凶星在第十或第四宫，主坏人或他们的父母挑起纷争；月亮所离的行星与她所入的行星之间没有入相，主总是争吵：若月亮与土星或火星成相位或会合，两人之一很快会死，或遭某种不幸；若这会合在第十或第四宫、在阳性星座，男方受害；在阴性星座，女方受害：

The ☽ in △ or ⚹ of good Planets, declares gifts from Friends; ☽ in □ of good Planets, by dead men; ☽ in ☌ of good Planets, promises good by their owne industry and labour; If the ☽ aspect ♄ or ♂, or be in the twelfth or eighth, or voyd of course, they shall have both troubles, griefes and sicknesse; in angles, notes a probability of separation or long disagreements.

月亮与吉星成三分或六分，表示有朋友馈赠；月亮与吉星成四分，得之于死者；月亮与吉星会合，许诺靠他们自己的勤劳得好处；若月亮照看土星或火星，或在第十二或第八宫，或空亡，他们会有烦恼、忧伤与疾病；在角宫，主可能分离或长期不和。

That the Marriage shall be broken, and the cause thereof.

婚事会破裂，及其原因。

Behold the Planet who receiveth the light of the Significators if he be a heavy Planet, and be hindered by □ or ☍ of an ill Planet, or be Cadent, the intended Marriage shall be broken off againe, though at present it is very feasible.

看接收征象星之光的那颗行星，若他是沉重的行星，而受凶星的四分或对冲阻碍，或在果宫，所议的婚事就会再次破裂，尽管眼下看来很有可能。

Behold whether parties Significator is strongest, that party shall first marry after this dissolution.

看哪一方的征象星最强，那一方在这次破裂之后会先结婚。

If the ill Planet that hindereth the Marriage be Lord of the second or eighth house, it is for matter of Dowry ; if Lord of the third, Brother ; if Lord of the fourth or tenth, it is the Father or the Mother, or such like; and so judge of the rest.

阻碍婚事的那颗凶星若是第二或第八宫主，是为了嫁妆；若是第三宫主，是兄弟；若是第四或第十宫主，是父亲或母亲之类；其余类推。

If there be an ill Planet that carries the light between the Significators, it shall be by meanes of a Messenger; describe that Planet, and you may notifie the party.

若有一颗凶星在征象星之间传光，事情就会因某个信使而坏；描述那颗行星，你就能把那人指出来。

[An Arabick Aphorisme, not overmuch to be credited without consent of other Significators.] That woman who doth depart from her Husband or become a Widdow, the ☽ being between the seventeenth degree of ♐, and the first minute of ♑, shall never returne or marry.

［阿拉伯人的一条警句，没有其他征象星佐证，不可太信。］离开丈夫或成为寡妇的女人，若当时月亮在射手十七度到摩羯第一分之间，她就永远不会回去，也不会再嫁。

Who so is Espoused to a Wife the ☽ being in the twelve first degrees of ♑, shall lose her before marriage, or dye within six moneths, or live in discord with her.

在月亮位于摩羯头十二度时与妻子订婚的人，会在婚前失去她，或六个月内死去，或与她不和。

Whether a Man or his Wife shall dye first, and the time when.

丈夫与妻子谁先死，及其时间。

Behold the Lord of the ascendant and the Lord of the seventh, and see which of them goeth first to Combustion, if the Lord of the ascendant, the querent shall dye first ; if the Lord of the seventh, e contra: The Lord of the ascendant Retrograde or Combust, or in his Fall, or neer the Lord of the eighth, the Man ; the Lord of the seventh in the like case, the Woman: ☉ unfortunate, the Man; ♀ unfortunate, the Woman.

看上升主星与第七宫主星，看哪一个先到焦伤，若是上升主星，问卜者先死；若是第七宫主星，则反之：上升主星逆行或焦伤，或在落处，或靠近第八宫主星，是男人；第七宫主星有同样情形，是女人：太阳不幸，男人；金星不幸，女人。

Usually I observe, whose Significator is first Combust, and in what Signe; if he be combust in Tropick Signes, as ♈ ♋ ♎ ♑, it portends death in a short time; if in common Signes, viz. ♊ ♍ ♐ ♓, the time is longer: in Signes fixed, viz. ♉ ♌ ♏ ♒, it will be a longer time ere the party dye, &c.

我通常观察谁的征象星先焦伤，在哪个星座；若在回归星座，即白羊、巨蟹、天秤、摩羯焦伤，主不久；若在双体星座，即双子、处女、射手、双鱼，时间较长；在固定星座，即金牛、狮子、天蝎、水瓶，此人要更久才死，等等。

Which of the two shall live longest.

两人谁活得长。

Behold the Lord of the ascendant, and of the seventh, which of these two are in the best place of heaven, best dignified, and in good aspect with Fortunes, and more remote from the presence or ill aspect of the Lord of the eight house, that person shall live longest: Where you must observe, as to the Lord of the seventh, the Lord of the second in the Figure is his eighth house, and so Lord of, or Significator of death.

看上升主星与第七宫主星，两者中哪一个在天空较好的位置、尊贵较好、与吉星有好相位，又离第八宫主星的在场或恶相位较远，那个人就活得长：这里你要注意，就第七宫主星而言，盘上的第二宫主是他的第八宫之主，即死亡之主或死亡的征象星。

Whether she be a Maid, or Chaste, of whom the quere is.

被问到的那个女子是否处女，或是否贞洁。

Look if the Lord of the ascendant ♀ and the ☽ be found in fixed Signes, good Planets beholding them, then say, she is a Maid, and chaste: But if in place of the Fortunes there be Infortunes, say she is neither a Virgin, nor chaste; especially if ♂ be there, and he in the house of ♀ without Reception: Also, if ☽ and ☉ behold themselves and ♂, she is no Maid; but if the Significators be in moveable Signes, Infortunes beholding them, say then she desireth a man very much, and that she refraines and restraines her concupiscence very much, and casts off her Suitors; yet it is not to trust alwayes to this judgment, because the nature of women is changeable.

看上升主星、金星与月亮是否在固定星座，有吉星照看，那就说她是处女，是贞洁的：但若照看它们的不是吉星而是凶星，就说她既不是处女，也不贞洁；尤其若是火星，而他在金星的庙中又无接纳：再者，若月亮与太阳彼此照看又照看火星，她就不是处女；但若征象星在启动星座，有凶星照看，那就说她很想要男人，却极力克制、约束自己的情欲，把求婚者拒之门外；不过这种判断不可一味相信，因为女人的性情多变。

The Significatrix of the woman in her owne essentiall Dignities, or in △ to the ☉ or ♃ with any Reception, or the ☽ and the Significatrix in △ or ⚹, in Reception, out of any mutuall Dignities, or ♀ in ♌ not afflicted, or the ☽ in ♒, free from □ ☌ ☍ of ♂, I judged honesty, and I found it ever true.

女方的女征象星在她自己的必然尊贵之中，或与太阳或木星成三分而有任何接纳，或月亮与这女征象星成三分或六分、从任何互在的尊贵中互相接纳，或金星在狮子不受侵害，或月亮在水瓶，不受火星的四分、会合、对冲，我就判断她清白，而且发现从来不错。
