卷二·第五十一章　论战争与争斗：谁胜，能否平安归来

Of Battle, Warre, or other Contentions.

论战斗、战争或其他争斗。

If one demand, whether he shall overcome his Adversary or not; give to the Querent the Lord of the ascendant the ☽, and the Planet from whom she is seperated; and unto the Defendant the seventh and his Lord, and the Planet to whom the ☽ applyeth; and behold whose Significator is in Angles and gest and with better Plenets, and so judge.

如果有人问，他能否胜过他的对手；就把上升主星、月亮以及月亮所离开的行星给问卜者；把第七宫及其主星、以及月亮所入相的行星给对方；看谁的征象星在角宫、位置最好、与较好的行星同在，据此判断。

If evill Planets be in the Ascendant, and Fortunes in the seventh, the Adversary shall overcome, & e contra. The Lord of the seventh in the Ascendant, betokens victory to the Querent, & e contra.

如果凶星在上升，吉星在第七宫，对手会获胜，反之亦然。第七宫之主在上升，预示问卜者胜利，反之亦然。

Whether one shall returne safe from Warre, or any dangerous Voyage.

一个人能否从战争或任何危险的航程平安归来。

Behold if the Lord of the Ascendant be strong, and with a good Planet, and well disposed; it is a great testimony of security, & e contra. Behold also the seventh and the Lord thereof, and if they be Fortunate (although the first be not so) yet shall the Party returne, though not without great crosses and lets, & e contra. Behold also the ☽ how she is disposed; for her application with the good is Fortunate, & e contra. Evill Planets also in the eight, are no small Signification of feare, and terrour, or death. ♄ signifies ruines or bruses, ♂ or the ☋, wounds by Weapons.

看上升主星是否强，是否与好行星同在、状态良好；这是平安的有力证据，反之亦然。还要看第七宫及其主星，如果它们吉（即使第一宫不吉），那人还是会回来，只是免不了很大的挫折与阻碍，反之亦然。还要看月亮的状况；因为她入相于吉星是幸运的，反之亦然。凶星在第八宫，也是恐惧、惊骇或死亡不小的征象。土星表示倒塌压伤或挫伤，火星或龙尾，表示兵器所伤。

If one shall returne safe from Warre.

一个人能否从战争平安归来。

If the Lord of the Ascendant be with good or good himself, or a good Planet in the Ascendant, he shall returne safe. If the ☉ be with the Lord of the Ascendant in any part of the Question, he may not goe; because the ☉ burnes him. If the Lord of the seventh be with a good Planet, and the Lord of the Ascendant with an evill, he shall have some impediment in his way, yet shall not dye.

如果上升主星与吉星同在，或本身是吉星，或有吉星在上升，他会平安回来。如果太阳在本问的任何一处与上升主星同在，他不可以去；因为太阳会焦伤他。如果第七宫之主与吉星同在，而上升主星与凶星同在，他路上会遇到些阻碍，但不会死。

If an evill Planet be with the Lord of the first, and a good one in the first; if he then goe, he shall suffer great losse, but not death; but questionlesse he will be sorely wounded.

如果有凶星与第一宫之主同在，而有吉星在第一宫；他若那时去，会遭受很大损失，但不会死；不过他无疑会受重伤。

If ♄ be in the first, or with the Lord of the first, let him not goe; because losse wil happen unto him by one whom he meeteth: If an ill Planet be with the Lord of the first, and ♄ in the Ascendant, or with his Lord, he shall be wounded with Wood or Stone. If ♂ or the ☋ be in the Ascendant, or with the Lord thereof, or evill Planets in the first, or with the Lord thereof, he shall receive a wound, and go neer to dye thereof.

如果土星在第一宫，或与第一宫之主同在，不要让他去；因为他会因路上遇到的某个人而受损：如果有凶星与第一宫之主同在，而土星在上升，或与上升主星同在，他会被木头或石头所伤。如果火星或龙尾在上升，或与上升主星同在，或凶星在第一宫，或与第一宫之主同在，他会受伤，几乎因此而死。

Also if an evill Planet be in the eight, it is to be feared, death will ensue; if the ☉ be with the Lord of the seventh, or in the eight, it is ill to goe; and so of the tenth and seventh.

还有，如果凶星在第八宫，恐怕会死；如果太阳与第七宫之主同在，或在第八宫，去是不好的；第十宫与第七宫也照此论。

What will ensue of the Warre.

战争的结果如何。

Behold the Lord of the seventh and first, and their Lords: the first House signifieth the Querent, the seventh his Adversary; if good Planets be in the first, and malevolent in the seventh, and the Lord of the Ascendant good, and Lord of the seventh ill; the Querent overcomes: but if an Infortune be with the Lord of the Ascendant, and an evill Planet in the Ascendant; and the Lord of the seventh good, and a good Planet there, the Querent shall be overcome, and shall be taken or slaine.

看第七宫与第一宫及它们的主星：第一宫表示问卜者，第七宫表示他的对手；如果吉星在第一宫，凶星在第七宫，上升主星吉，第七宫之主凶；问卜者获胜：但如果凶星与上升主星同在，又有凶星在上升；而第七宫之主吉，又有吉星在那里，问卜者会被打败，会被俘或被杀。

If both the Lord of the Ascendant and seventh be in the Ascendant, and on the behalfe of the Lord of the Ascendant, there be good Planets casting their benevolent aspects to the cuspe of the second; then the Querent will doe well in the Warre, and obtaine money thereby; he shall have victory of his Adversary, or they will endevour to be reconciled.

如果上升主星与第七宫之主都在上升，而在上升主星一方有吉星把吉相投向第二宫宫头；那么问卜者在战争中会顺利，并因此得到钱财；他会胜过对手，或者双方会设法和解。

[Any Planet in the 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3. is conceived a friend to the Querent. So all Planets in the 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4. are reputed for the Quesited.] If both the Lords, viz. of the first and seventh, be in the Ascendant, and good Planets be on the part of the Ascendant, and evill on the part of the seventh; both Parties shall suffer losse; but the Querent shall have the better in the end. If the Lord of the seventh be in the Ascendant, of his Question, it shewes the Fortitude of the Actors; the contrary noteth the contrary.

（页边注：在第十、十一、十二、一、二、三宫里的任何行星，都算作问卜者的朋友；在第九、八、七、六、五、四宫里的行星，都算作所问一方的。）如果两位宫主，即第一宫与第七宫之主，都在上升，而吉星在上升一方，凶星在第七宫一方；双方都会受损，但问卜者最终占上风。如果第七宫之主在他这一问的上升，表明行事一方的勇力；相反则主相反。

If the Lord of the Ascendant be in the eight, or with the Lord of the eight, or the Lord of the eight in the Ascendant; it notes the death of the Querent.

如果上升主星在第八宫，或与第八宫之主同在，或第八宫之主在上升；表示问卜者之死。

If the Lord of the seventh be in the second, or with the Lord thereof; or the Lord of the second in the seventh, or with the Lord of the seventh; it notes the death of the Adversary.

如果第七宫之主在第二宫，或与第二宫之主同在；或第二宫之主在第七宫，或与第七宫之主同在；表示对手之死。
