卷二·第五十五章　合伙

Of Partnership.

论合伙。

The Lord of the ascendant is for the querent; Lord of the seventh for the Partner intended: but herein be carefull that you observe what Planet is in the seventh, and neer the cusp of the seventh, and whether the party enquired of be more like to the description of the Planet posited in the seventh, or to the Lord of the seventh; take that Planet for his Significator who is neerest to his description, and consider him as you would others wayes the Lord of the seventh, and as you ought to doe of the Lord of the seventh, no other Planet being in the seventh.

上升主星代表问卜者；第七宫主星代表打算合伙的人：但这里要小心，留意哪颗行星在第七宫、靠近第七宫的宫头，看所问之人更像第七宫里那颗行星的描述，还是更像第七宫主星的；哪颗行星最接近他的样貌，就取那颗为他的征象星，像平时对待第七宫主星那样考量他，也就是第七宫里没有别的行星时，你本该怎样看第七宫主星，就怎样看他。

Let the ☽ be partner in signification; the tenth house shall shew what credit there may come of the Partnership: but whether the Partnership will extend to good or ill, you must expect that from the fourth house and his Lord, and the Planet therein posited, and the Planet to whom the ☽ applyes.

让月亮作共同征象星；第十宫显示这次合伙能带来什么信誉：但合伙的结局是好是坏，要从第四宫及其主星、在第四宫的行星，以及月亮所入相的行星去看。

If the Lord of the ascendant and the ☽ be in movable Signes without Reception by House or Exaltation, or Triplicity or Terme, then there will happen Contention, and they will disagree, but matters will againe be reconciled, and the Partnership will hold, but still they will be mistrustfull of one another, nor will much good come of it: but if the Significators be in fixed Signes, their society will continue long; but if no Reception be, little profit will from thence accrew to either party; if they buy any thing, the Commodities will lye long on their hands; if the Significators be in common Signes, it promises a gainfull Partnership, and that they will be faithfull to each other:

若上升主星与月亮在启动星座，又没有以庙、旺、三方或界相接纳，就会发生争执，他们会不和，但事情后来又会和好，合伙也会维持下去，只是彼此始终心存猜疑，也不会有多少好处：但若征象星在固定星座，他们的合伙会持续很久；但若没有接纳，双方都得不到多少利润；他们若买进什么东西，货物会在手里压很久；若征象星在双体星座，主合伙有利可图，彼此也忠实相待：

If one Significator be in a movable Signe, and the other in a fixed, the disturbance arising will be lesse then at first may be feared: If ill Planets aspect both the significators, viz. Lord of the ascendant and Lord of the seventh, the Partnership will be ill for both, neither the one party or other will deal fairly; see where, and in what house or houses the evill Planets are posited, and from thence you may discerne the cause:

若一颗征象星在启动星座，另一颗在固定星座，生出的风波会比起初担心的小：若凶星照看两颗征象星，即上升主星与第七宫主星，这次合伙对双方都不好，哪一方都不会公道相待；看凶星落在哪里、在哪一宫或哪几宫，由此你可以辨出缘由：

I have oft acquainted you with the signification of the houses: an evil Planet in the ascendant, the qnerent is a false companion; judge the like if an evill Planet be in the seventh.

宫位的含义我已经多次告诉过你：凶星在上升，问卜者是个不老实的伙伴；凶星在第七宫，也作同样的判断。

If the ☽ separate from one Fortune and apply to another, they will begin well and end well, though neither of them get any Wealth; but if she be separated from a good Planet, and apply to an ill, they begin well, but end in strife and hatred; and so the contrary: but if the ☽ be separated from an ill Planet and apply to another, they will begin Partnership with muttering and repining, continue it with feares and jealousies, end it with Law-suits.

若月亮离开一颗吉星而入相另一颗吉星，他们会善始善终，虽然两人都发不了财；但若她离开吉星而入相凶星，他们开头好，结局却是争吵与怨恨；反过来也是一样：但若月亮离开一颗凶星又入相另一颗，他们合伙一开始就嘀嘀咕咕、满腹怨言，继续下去疑惧猜忌，最后以官司收场。

A good Planet in the tenth, shewes they will obtaine reputation, and will rejoyce and delight in their mutuall Society.

吉星在第十宫，表示他们会得到名声，并在彼此的交往中欢喜愉快。

A good Planet in the second, best for the querent; in the seventh for the Partner.

吉星在第二宫，对问卜者最好；在第七宫，对伙伴最好。

An ill Planet in the second, or ☋, the querent will get little, but be cheated, or entrust much, and get in few Debts.

凶星或龙尾在第二宫，问卜者所得甚少，反而受骗，或者赊出去很多，收回来的债却很少。

If the Lord of the fourth apply to the Lord of the eleventh by ⚹ or △; or if a good Planet be in the fourth, or if the Lord of the eleventh and fourth be in Reception, or if good Planets cast their ⚹ or △ to the Lords of the ascendant and seventh, a good end may be expected by the Partnership intended: observe ⊗, how dignified, how aspected; if the Lord of the seventh or of the eight cast a □ or ☍ to it, the querent must expect no great good from his Partner, for it's like he will embessell the Estate, or their common Stock.

若第四宫主星以六分或三分入相第十一宫主星；或有吉星在第四宫，或第十一宫主星与第四宫主星互相接纳，或吉星以六分、三分照上升主星与第七宫主星，所打算的合伙就可望有好结局：留意福点，看它尊贵如何、相位如何；若第七宫主星或第八宫主星与它成四分或对冲，问卜者就别指望从伙伴那里得到什么好处，因为他很可能会侵吞产业，或他们共同的资本。
