卷二·第七十三章　答应的嫁妆能否到手

If have the Portion promised?

能否得到所答应的嫁妆？

♄ is here Significator of the querent, Retrograde, and in the 12th house, as if the querent had been in some despaire of it, and so he confessed.

这里土星是问卜者的征象星，逆行，又在第十二宫，好像问卜者对此已有些绝望，他也承认如此。

The Woman is signified by ♃ and ☽; ♃ in his Exaltation, and ☽ in ♌, a fixed Signe argue the Woman to be well conceited of her selfe, confident, yet vertuous and modest: the ☽ her Significatrix neer the ☉, she had a scar neer her right eye, for the ☽ signifies in Women the right Eye.

那女子由木星与月亮代表；木星在他的旺宫，月亮在狮子这个固定星座，表示这女子自视颇高，自信，但贤德而端庄：她的女征象星月亮靠近太阳，所以她的右眼附近有一块疤，因为在女子身上，月亮代表右眼。

That which is pertinent to the resolution of the thing demanded is this; That finding ♀ in the eighth house, which is the womans second, and the ☉ to be Lord thereof, in his own house, and that ☽ did separate from the ☌ of ☉, and transferred his vertue to ♄, who is Lord of the ascendant and Disposer of ⊗, and also Lord of the querent's second house, I did from hence cheer up the dull querent, and assured him he had no cause to feare the not-payment of his Wives Portion, but that it would really be performed, whatsoever was or had been mised; and that, to his further comfort, she would prove a chast vertuous woman, but somewhat proud; all this proved true, as I experimentally have it from the querent's owne Mouth.

与解答所问之事有关的是这些：我发现金星在第八宫，即那女子的第二宫，太阳是该宫之主，在他自己的庙里，而月亮离开太阳的会合，把他的德性传给土星，土星是上升之主、福点的定位星，又是问卜者的第二宫之主，我便由此给这个闷闷不乐的问卜者打气，向他保证，他不必担心妻子的嫁妆不付，它会实实在在地兑现，不论从前答应过什么、或已经答应了什么；而且，让他更宽心的是，她会是一个贞洁贤德的女子，只是有些骄傲；这一切都应验了，我是从问卜者本人口中确切得知的。

The ninth House, and those Questions properly belonging unto it.

第九宫，以及本属这一宫的问事。

Long Journeys, Religion, Pilgrimage, Dreames, &c.

论长途旅行、宗教、朝圣、梦等等。
