卷二·第五十三章　论狩猎；官司能否和解、谁胜，法官如何

Of Hunting.

论狩猎。

[Sith the Ancients have taken notice of such trifles, I must consent.] You shall know the lord of hunting by the ascendant, the ☽, and from the lord of the terme of the degree of the ☽ and from the lord of the hour; for the lord of the hour is of great force and strength, when he is in the ascendant, and the ascendant a signe of four footed beasts: in case of hunting see if the ascendant be a signe of four footed beasts, or an earthly signe, for these are good for hunting amongst mountaines, and hils; see the lord of the ascendant, and the lord of the hour, if they be fortunate or infortunate; and if either do behold other, or separate one from another, and if one be falling from another, note this.

［既然古人留意过这类琐事，我也只好随从。］猎人之事，你可以从上升、月亮、月亮所在度数的界主以及时辰主星得知；因为时辰主星在上升，而上升又是四足兽星座时，力量很大：问狩猎时，看上升是否是四足兽星座或土象星座，因为这些星座利于在山岭丘陵间打猎；看上升主星与时辰主星是吉是凶；看两者是否彼此照看，或彼此离开，或一方从另一方落开，要留意这些。

Consider after if the seventh be a signe of four footed beasts, and if you do finde in the same the lord thereof, or the lord of the hour; or the lord of the angle fortunate, judge that the beast you seek for shall be found and taken.

然后考虑第七宫是否是四足兽星座，若你在其中发现第七宫主星，或时辰主星，或那个角宫的主星吉利，就断你所寻的猎物会被找到并捕获。

But if the lord of the seventh be an Infortune, and the ☽ infortunate, the good planets falling from her, after much search something shall be found, and little shall be taken, and that with wearinesse of the body; which shall be the truer, if the lord of the ascendant be ♄, and in the seveuth house a signe of four footed beasts. If you finde ☽ in the seventh or in any of the angles, or the lord of the seventh, and she be fortunate, say that he shall speed in his hunting.

但若第七宫主星是凶星，月亮又不吉，吉星都从她那里落开，那么搜寻许久之后能找到一些，捕获的却很少，而且身体疲累；若上升主星是土星，第七宫又是四足兽星座，这就更准。若你发现月亮在第七宫或任一角宫，或第七宫主星在那里，而她又吉利，就说他打猎会有收获。

Of a Law-suit or Controversie betwixt two, who shall speed best, or whether they shall compound, or have the matter taken up or not before they doe goe to Law.

两人之间的官司或争执，谁会占上风；在上法庭之前，他们会不会和解，或由人出面把事情了结。

Behold the ascendant, his lord and ☽, these signifie the querent; the seventh house and his lord are for the Adversary.

看上升、其主星与月亮，这些代表问卜者；第七宫及其主星代表对手。

If the lord of the ascendant or the ☽ be joyned to the lord of the seventh, or be in ⚹ or △ aspect with mutuall Reception, the parties will easily of themselves accord, and compose all differences without mediation of any, or with a little entreaty.

若上升主星或月亮与第七宫主星相合，或以六分、三分相照且互相接纳，双方很容易自行和解，不用任何人居间调停，或稍加劝说即可了结一切分歧。

But if one receive the other, and he that is received, receive not the other Significator, they shall agree without Suit of law, but not without intermission of a third party or more; and those that intercede, for the most part shall be his Friends or Acquaintance that did receive the other Planet.

但若一方接纳另一方，而被接纳的一方不接纳另一颗征象星，他们会不经诉讼而和解，但不免要有第三人或更多人居间；居间的人大多是接纳另一颗行星的那一方的朋友或熟人。

If they, viz. the lord of the seventh and ascendant are in a □ aspect, or in ☍, with mutuall Reception, or in a ⚹ or △ without Reception, they will be reconciled, but first they will have one little combate at law: and you must observe, that unity shall proceed from that party whose Significator is lesse ponderous, and commits his disposition to the other; and this concord shall be the more firme, if both Significators receive one another: If the lighter Planet be joyned to the more weighty, and receive him not, but the superiour Planet receive him, it argues, he that receives would accord whether his Adversary will or not.

若它们，即第七宫主星与上升主星，成四分或对冲而互相接纳，或成六分、三分而无接纳，他们会和解，但先要在法庭上小小交一次手：你还须注意，和解出自征象星较轻、把自己的处置交给对方的那一方；若两颗征象星互相接纳，这和解就更稳固：若较轻的行星与较重的行星相合而不接纳他，但上位的行星接纳他，那表示接纳的一方无论对手愿不愿意，都想和解。

Having considered the former significators, do you observe the significator of the Judge, who is ever the lord of the tenth house, and whether he aspect either of the significators, viz. whether the lord of the ascendant or seventh, or be in ☌ with eiher of them; see if the lord of the ascendant hastens to the ☌ of the lord of the seventh, or the lord of the seventh to him, and that the lord of the tenth house doth frustrate their ☌, it's then an argument they shall not agree before they have been at law, and herein the Judge or Lawyer seems faulty, who will not permit the parties to compose their differences: see if the ☽ transferre light between the lord of the ascendant and seventh; if she doe not, see if any other Planet carry their influence or light to each other; for if it be so, it's like some or other interpose their paines, and reconcile the parties though they be in law.

考虑了上述征象星之后，你还要看法官的征象星，永远是第十宫主星，看他是否照看两颗征象星之一，即上升主星或第七宫主星，或与其中之一会合；看上升主星是否急趋与第七宫主星会合，或第七宫主星急趋与他会合，而第十宫主星挫败了他们的会合，那就表示他们在打官司之前不会和解，这里错在法官或律师，他不让双方了结分歧：看月亮是否在上升主星与第七宫主星之间传递光线；若她不传，看有没有别的行星在两者之间传递影响或光线；若有，很可能会有某人出力，即使双方已在打官司，也会使他们和解。

[When he is in the same condition.] See after this, whether the lord of the ascendant or seventh be strongest, for he whose significator is most powerfull, ought to have the victory; he is strongest, who is in an angle, and in some of his essentiall Dignities; the greater his strength is, how much greater the essentiall Dignity is wherein he is; and if he be also received by any other Planet, it's an argument that party is able, and that he hath the more Friends to assist him: if you doe find that they will compound, the first mover thereunto, will be on the part of the ligheer Planet, who commits his disposition to the other; for if the lord of the ascendant be more light, and the lord of the seventh more ponderous, the first motion of peace shall come from the querent, and so e contrario:

［当他处于同样的状况时。］此后看上升主星与第七宫主星谁强，因为征象星最有力的一方理应获胜；在角宫、又在自己某种必然尊贵中的最强；所在的必然尊贵越大，力量越大；若他还被另一颗行星接纳，那就表示这一方有能力，也有更多朋友相助：若你发现他们会和解，首先提出的会是较轻的行星那一方，他把自己的处置交给对方；因为若上升主星较轻，第七宫主星较重，首先求和的就是问卜者，反之亦然：

A Planet in a cadent house is more weak, if not received or assisted by the aspect of some other; if the lord of the seventh house be in the ascendant, then the querent without doubt overcomes, and the Adversary will yeeld; the like happens to the querent, viz. that he shall be overcome: and this happens not onely in law Suits, and for Moneys, but also in Fights, Duels and Warre: see further if the lord of the ascendant or seventh be retrograde; for if the lord of the ascendant be retrograde, it argues the weaknesse of the querent, and that he will not stand to it stoutly, that he will deny the truth to his Adversary nor will he beleeve that he hath any right to the thing in question; if the lord of the seventh be retrograde, it argues the same things on the quesited's part.

在果宫的行星较弱，若不被接纳，也没有别的行星以相位相助；若第七宫主星在上升，问卜者无疑会胜，对手会让步；问卜者也会遇到同样的事，即他会被打败：这不仅见于诉讼与钱财之争，也见于打斗、决斗与战争：再看上升主星或第七宫主星是否逆行；若上升主星逆行，表示问卜者软弱，不会坚持到底，会对对手否认真相，也不相信自己对所争之物有权利；若第七宫主星逆行，表示所问之人一方也是如此。

Behold the significator of the Judge who is to give sentence in the Cause, wch is the Lord of the tenth house, whether he be direct, and behold them, for then he will proceed according to order of law in the Cause, and will endeavour to shorten and determine it; but if he be Retrograde, it's an argument the Judge will not goe on or proceed according to order of law, nor will he care to end it; nay it's rather probable he will prolong it a longer time then he ought by law: judge the same if the Lord of the ascendant be separated from the Lord of the seventh, or the Lord of the seventh from the Lord of the ascendant.

看要在这案子里下判决的法官的征象星，即第十宫主星，看他是否顺行，并照看他们，若是，他就会依法定程序办这案子，并尽力缩短、了结它；但若他逆行，表示法官不会依法定程序推进，也不在意了结它；甚至很可能会把它拖得比依法应有的更久：若上升主星离开第七宫主星，或第七宫主星离开上升主星，也同样判断。

See if the Lord of the ascendant be in aspect with the ☉ or ☽, or either of them joyned to him, so that no other Planet hinder their aspect, beware it be not a corporall ☌, for that signifies an impediment, unlesse the Planet were in the heart of the ☉, for then the Planet was fortified thereby; so is he in like nature, if the Planet be in either of the houses of the Luminaries, or if the ☉ and ☽ be in the ascendant, these argue the potency of the querent: if the Lord of the seventh be dignified or qualified as before I mentioned of the Lord of the ascendant, you must judge in like nature on the behalfe of the quesited:

看上升主星是否与太阳或月亮成相位，或两者之一与他相合，中间没有别的行星阻碍它们的相位，要当心那不是星体会合，因为那表示阻碍，除非那行星在太阳之心，那时行星就因此得到加强；同样，若那行星在两光之一的庙里，或太阳与月亮在上升，这些都表示问卜者有力：若第七宫主星有我前面讲上升主星的那些尊贵或状况，你就要对所问之人一方作同样的判断：

If the Lord of the ascendant be joyned to the Lord of the tenth, he that is the querent will acquaint the Judge himselfe, or make meanes to acquaint him with his Cause, and it may be he will endeavour to bribe the Judge, that so he may judge on his side: if the lord of the tenth receive the lord of the second, the Judge will have Money for his paines; but if the lord of the tenth receive the lord of the ascendant, the Judge hears the querent's importunities, otherwayes not.

若上升主星与第十宫主星相合，问卜者会亲自去让法官知道，或设法让法官知道他的案情，也许他还会设法贿赂法官，好让法官判他这一边：若第十宫主星接纳第二宫主星，法官会为他的辛劳得钱；但若第十宫主星接纳上升主星，法官会听进问卜者的恳求，否则不会。

If the lord of the tenth be more light then the lord of the ascendant, and joyned unto him, he will doe the querent's businesse, though he never speak unto him; if the lord of the second be joyned to the lord of the tenth, then the Adversary makes meanes to the Judge; and if the lord of the tenth receive the lord of the seventh, he will assist him; but if he receive the lord of the eight, he will take his Money.

若第十宫主星比上升主星轻，并与他相合，即使问卜者从没跟他说过话，他也会替问卜者办事；若第二宫主星与第十宫主星相合，那就是对手在向法官打点；若第十宫主星接纳第七宫主星，他就会帮对手；但若他接纳第八宫主星，他就会收对手的钱。

If the lord of the tenth receive both significators the Judge will compose the matter ere it doe come to a full Tryall.

若第十宫主星接纳两颗征象星，法官会在案子正式审结之前就把事情调停了结。

If the Lord of the tenth be in the tenth, in his owne house, the Judge wiil then doe justice, and judge the cause for his honour, unlesse that Planet be ♄: if the Lord of the tenth be only in his owne Termes or Triplicity, it's true the Judge will determine the Cause, but makes no matter which way it goes, if a Planet be in the tenth house that hath no dignity, or is not in Reception with the Lord of the tenth, it argues the parties will not be content, or stand to that Sentence, they both feare that Judge, and had rather have another Judge his Sentence, wich which they would be content: if ♄ be Judge, he will not judge as he ought; if at that time ♃ ♀ ☉ ☿ or ☽ be in any aspect to ♄ but ☍, the Judge will be ill reported of, but in a little time will be cleered, and the aspersion taken off; but if any of those be in ☍ to ♄, there will goe a hard report on the Judge for that his Sentence, and it will continue long; the Judges defamation will be great if ♂ be in ☍ to ♄, unlesse ♂ be with ♄ in ♑, then the scandall will be the lesse.

若第十宫主星在第十宫，在自己的庙，法官就会主持公道，为自己的名誉判案，除非那颗行星是土星：若第十宫主星只在自己的界或三方，法官固然会了结这案子，但判向哪边他都不在乎；若第十宫里有一颗没有尊贵、也不与第十宫主星互相接纳的行星，表示双方都不会满意，不服那个判决，他们都怕那位法官，宁愿由另一位法官来判，那样他们才会满意：若土星是法官，他不会照应有的样子判案；若那时木星、金星、太阳、水星或月亮与土星成对冲以外的任何相位，法官会受人非议，但不久就会澄清，污名得以洗去；但若其中有哪颗与土星对冲，法官会因那次判决背上恶名，而且会持续很久；若火星与土星对冲，法官的名声就会大坏，除非火星与土星同在摩羯，那时丑闻就会少些。

But to be short, in these like Judgments observe this method; the Querent is signified by the Lord of the ascendant, the Adversary by the Lord of the seventh, the Judge by the Lord of the tenth, the end of the matter from the Lord of the fourth; consider well the Lords of the houses, their Fortitudes, and whether they be in Angles, Succedants or Cadents, Fortunate or not Fortunate; for the Planet that is most strong, and best posited, is the best man, and most likely to carry the victory, and hath the best Cause.

简单地说，在这类判断中照这个方法：问卜者由上升主星代表，对手由第七宫主星代表，法官由第十宫主星代表，事情的结局由第四宫主星看；好好考虑这几宫的主星、它们的力量，看它们在角宫、续宫还是果宫，吉还是不吉；因为最强、位置最好的行星，就是最好的人，最可能获胜，理由也最充分。

If more Planets be in the ascendant and second, the Querent shall have most Friends, & sic e contario: if both Significators give their vertue to one Planet, there will be one who will intercede betwixt them: if the Signe ascending and seventh be fixed, both querent and quesited are resolutely bent to proceed in the Suit or Controversie; if movable Signes be there, it's like they have no great stomack to the businesse, but will end it very shortly; if common Signes be there, they will continue the Suit long, and have the Cause out of one Court into another; on whose part you find the Infortunes, that party shall receive most prejudice, sorrow and trouble by the Contention.

若上升与第二宫的行星较多，问卜者朋友最多，反之亦然：若两颗征象星都把德性交给同一颗行星，就会有一个人在两者之间调停：若上升与第七宫的星座是固定星座，问卜者与所问之人都决意把官司或争执打下去；若是启动星座，他们大概对这事没多大兴致，会很快了结；若是双体星座，他们会把官司打得很久，案子从一个法庭转到另一个法庭；你在哪一方发现凶星，那一方就会因这场争执受到最大的损害、悲伤与麻烦。

You are to consider in this manner of Judgment the ☽, from whom she is separated, and the Planet to whom she applyes are equally significant, as the ascendant and seventh house, &c.

你要考虑，在这类判断中，月亮所离开的行星与她所入相的行星，同上升与第七宫一样有象征意义，等等。
