卷二·第六十八章　妻子的嫁妆与所问女子的家产

Whether the Portion of the Wife will be great, or easily obtained, or whether is the Woman enquired after rich or not.

妻子的嫁妆会不会丰厚，会不会容易到手；或者所问的女子富不富。

Herein vary your ascendant, and then the Question as well resolves the demand concerning the estate of a man as of a woman. The querent is still signified by the Lord of the ascendant and first house, his substance and Estate by the second house, Lord thereof, Planet or Planets posited in the house, and the Lord of ⊗ and place of heaven, and Sign wherein it is found.

这里把你的上升换一换，那么这个问题既能解答关于男子财产的提问，也能解答关于女子的。问卜者仍由上升主星与第一宫代表，他的家产与财产由第二宫、该宫之主、位于该宫的一颗或几颗行星，以及福点之主、福点所在的天空部位与星座代表。

That which is the occasion of this Question, is, if a man propound the Question, Whether the Woman he enquires after be rich,&c. Behold in this judgement the Signe of the eight house,the Lord thereof, the Planet posited therein.

这个问题的起因是：一个男子来问，他所打听的那位女子是否富有等等。在这种判断中，要看第八宫的星座、该宫之主，以及位于其中的行星。

The cusp of the eight in the termes of ♃ or ♀ give good hopes of Wealth, or ♃ or ♀ posited in that house ; plenty of Wealth if they are essentially dignified, direct, and free from Combustion ; not so much, if they or either of them be Retrograde, Combust, or slow in motion : for though in essentiall dignities and so qualified, they expresse a sufficient and large proportion, yet with some kinde of trouble it will come to the querent.

第八宫宫头在木星或金星的界里，给人财富的好希望；木星或金星位于该宫也是如此；若它们有必然尊贵、顺行、不受焦伤，财富丰足；若它们或其中之一逆行、焦伤或行速迟缓，就没那么多：因为虽然在必然尊贵之中，若有这些状况，它们表示的仍是一份足够而相当大的财产，但要经过一些麻烦才会到问卜者手里。

The Lord of the eight in the eight no-wayes impedited,gives good hopes of some Inheritance or Land to fall to the wife or woman, or by some Legacy, some Estate; the more certaine, if either the Lord of the fourth in the figure, or the Lord of the tenth and the Lord of the eight be in any benevolent aspect out of Angles or succedant houses, or out of the eleventh and eight. ⊗ in the eight and in ♒ or ♌ , or any of the houses of ♃ or ♀ , they casting their △ or ⚹ aspect to ⊗ : you need not feare but the estate of the quesited party is sufficient, and if the dispositor of ⊗ doe but cast his ⚹ or △ to it,or else is in a good aspect of ♃ or ♀ : these argue the Woman inquired after to be a good Fortune, and you are not to make doubt of his or her Estate.

第八宫主在第八宫，毫无受阻，很有希望会有某份遗产或土地落到妻子或那女子名下，或因某份遗赠得到某份产业；若盘上的第四宫主、或第十宫主与第八宫主从角宫或续宫、或从第十一宫与第八宫成善相位，就更确定。福点在第八宫，又在水瓶或狮子，或在木星、金星的任何一个庙里，而它们向福点投出三分或六分：你就不必担心所问之人的产业不够；若福点的定位星向福点投出六分或三分，或者与木星或金星成善相位，也是如此：这些都表示所问的女子是一份好财运，你不必怀疑他或她的产业。

♄ or ♂ Peregrine in the eight, either poore or little of what is promised will be obtained, or extreame contention about it.

土星或火星游离而在第八宫，要么穷，要么所答应的东西只能得到一点，或者为此争执不休。

The Lord of the eight Combust, slow performance, scarce ability in the Parents to performe what is promised.

第八宫主焦伤，履约迟缓，父母没什么能力兑现所答应的。

☋ in the eight,no fortunate Planet being there,there's cheating intended, or more will be promised then performed.

龙尾在第八宫，又没有吉星在那里，就是存心欺骗，或者许诺的多于兑现的。

Lord of the eight in the second, or in △ or ⚹ to the Lord of the second, the querent shall have what is promised, in □ with difficulty, in ☍ never, without much wrangling ; if no reception hardly at all. Its impossible to give such generall Rules as will hold ever certaine, therefore I advise every Practiser to well weigh the querent his Condition, and the possibility the Figure promises, and so frame his conjecture.

第八宫主在第二宫，或与第二宫主成三分或六分，问卜者会得到所答应的；成四分，要费周折；成对冲，不经过大吵大闹就永远得不到；若没有接纳，几乎全然得不到。不可能给出永远确定的通则，所以我劝每位从业者，好好掂量问卜者的情况与盘所允诺的可能，再作推断。
