卷二·第七十四章　航海、风向、出行成败与归期

Of good or ill in questions concerning this House.

本宫问事的吉凶。

IF in this house good Planets have either government, or are in possession thereof, or aspect the same without the testimonies of the Infortunes, it signifieth good, or is an argument thereof in all questions concerning this house.

若有吉星主管这一宫，或身在宫中，或照看这一宫，而没有凶星作证，就表示吉，或是吉的论据，凡属本宫的问事都是如此。

Of a Voyage by Sea, and successe thereof.

论航海及其成败。

Look to the ninth house, if it be good and strong, and aspected of good Planets, or good Planets in the said house; especially if the Lord of the ascendant and the tenth be well affected, it is very good: but if thou findest ♄ ♂ or the ☋ there, then is the way evill, if the Lord of the ninth be with an evill Planet, it is evill, and he shall not speed well in the way, or get any wealth by that Voyage: ♂ in the ninth, intimates danger by Theeves or Pyrates; ♄ threatneth losse of Goods, or sicknesse; the ☋ doth import the same that ♂ doth, but most part with cozenage and deceit.

看第九宫，若它好而强，受吉星照看，或有吉星在宫中；尤其若上升主星与第十宫主星状态良好，就非常好：但若你发现土星、火星或龙尾在那里，这一路就凶；若第九宫主星与凶星同在，也凶，他在路上不会顺利，也不会从这趟航行得到任何财富：火星在第九宫，暗示有盗贼或海盗之险；土星主货物损失，或疾病；龙尾所主与火星相同，只是多半带着欺诈与蒙骗。

The substance of the Journey is from the tenth, because it is the second from the ninth: Fortunes there, expect Wealth; Infortunes, losse: the ninth infortunate, many hardships in the Voyage; Fortunes there, a happy passage. Together with this, see to the Lord of the eighth, or eighth house; for if he or it be strong, there is Wealth to be got; ♄ ♂ or ☋ in that house, nothing to be had, or not worth labour.

这趟旅程的财物看第十宫，因为它是从第九宫数起的第二宫：吉星在那里，可望得财；凶星在那里，损失：第九宫受凶，航程中多有艰辛；吉星在那里，一路顺遂。同时还要看第八宫主星或第八宫；因为若他或这一宫强，就有财可得；土星、火星或龙尾在那一宫，什么也得不到，或不值得费力。

What wind you shall have.

将遇到什么样的风。

Behold the Lord of the ascendant, if he be with a good Planet or Planets, and they strong, and in a friendly aspect, it signifieth good winds; but if with evill Planets, or they in cadent houses, the contrary; if the Significators be in ☍ out of fixed Signes, and neer violent fixed starres, the Traveller may expect impetuous stormes, sudden blasts, contrary winds often driving the Passenger this way, and sometimes that way; as also, that he shall await many dayes, weeks or moneths for a comfortable wind before he shall gaine it: Gentle gusts of wind are signified when the Significators are in △ aspect out of Signes ayëry, viz. ♊ ♎ or ♒.

看上升主星，若他与一颗或几颗吉星同在，而它们强，又成友好的相位，表示好风；但若与凶星同在，或它们在果宫，就相反；若征象星从固定星座彼此对冲，又靠近凶暴的恒星，旅人可预期狂暴的风暴、突来的阵风、逆风，常把旅客一时吹向这边、一时吹向那边；还要苦等许多天、许多星期甚至许多月，才等到一阵顺心的风：征象星从风象星座，即双子、天秤或水瓶，彼此成三分时，表示和缓的风。

Of him that taketh a Journey, and the successe thereof.

论出行的人，及其成败。

Behold what Planets are in the angles, if you find in the ascendant a good Fortune, judge then that he shall have good successe, before that he removeth from the place he is in, or in the beginning of his Journey; if that good Fortune be in the Mid-heaven, he shall have much happinesse in his Journey, and after his entring the Ship, or upon the way as he goeth on his Journey: but if the Fortune be in the seventh, he shall have content in the place whereunto he goeth: if that Planet which is the Fortune be in the fourth, it shall be at his returne, or when he shall come to his owne place or home back againe.

看哪些行星在角宫，若在上升发现一颗吉星，就断他会成功，在他离开所在之地以前，或在旅程开始之时；若那颗吉星在天顶，他在旅途中会大有福分，在上船之后，或在一路前行的途中：但若吉星在第七宫，他到了所去之地会称心如意：若那颗作吉星的行星在第四宫，福分就在他回程时，或回到自己的地方、自己家里的时候。

If that Fortune be ♃, the benefit he expects, or the Means to advance him, shall come from or by meanes of a religious person, or Judge, or Gentleman, in quality and kind according to the power, quality and nature of the Lord of the house of that Fortune, or by a person of that description; as if it be the house of the ☉, it shall be by the King, a Magistrate, or some noble Person, or by a Solar man of noble disposition.

若那颗吉星是木星，他所期望的利益，或提携他的门路，会来自一位教士、法官或绅士，或借其之力，其品第与类别依那颗吉星所在之宫的主星的力量、品质与本性而定，或来自合乎这描述的人；比如若那是太阳的庙，就会借国王、长官或某位贵人之力，或一位品性高贵的太阳型人物。

If ♄ be Significator, it shall consist in things and Commodities of his nature, or else in things of antiquity, or Ground, Corne or Tillage; or by meanes of an ancient man: describe ♄ exactly, and let the man apply to such a one in his Affaires. If ♀, it shall be as touching Women, Joy and Sport, or by meanes of Women, Friends, or in Linnen, Silks, Jewels, or pleasant things. If ☿, it shall be by writing, or by wit and discretion, or Merchandize, Accompts or Letters testimoniall, or by the Merchant.

若土星是征象星，利益就在于具有他本性的事物与货品，或在古旧之物、土地、谷物或耕作；或借一位老人之力：要准确描述土星，让此人在事务上去找这样的人。若是金星，就关乎女人、欢乐与游戏，或借女人、朋友之力，或在亚麻布、丝绸、珠宝或赏心之物上。若是水星，就靠写作，或靠才智与审慎，或经商、账目或证明信，或借商人之力。

If it be the ☽, it shall be by Services or Masteries, much imployment by some Woman or Widdow, or Saylor, or by carrying Newes, or playing at Dice, Sports or Pastimes, Tables, or such like.

若是月亮，就靠服役或技艺，或受某位女子、寡妇或水手雇用而多有差事，或靠传递消息、掷骰子、游戏消遣、双陆之类。

Example.

示例。

If the Fortune in the tenth house, is ♀, he shall have good, or make great benefit in his Journey, by dealing in such things as bring joy, or cause delight and pastime, by Jewels or Silks which are of the nature of ♀: If the Lord of that house be ♄, and he strong, say then of ♄ as in the preceding part, and so of the rest:

若在第十宫的吉星是金星，他在旅途中就会得益，或获大利，靠经营带来欢乐、令人愉悦消遣的东西，或珠宝、丝绸这类属金星本性之物：若那一宫的主星是土星，而他强，就照前面所说的土星来讲，其余类推：

If a Planet who is an Infortune be Lord of the twelft and he be ♄, it is to be feared there shall happen unto him some sicknesse comming of a cold and dry cause, or by much trechery, but if ♄ be in a Signe Bestiall, it is to be feared, some ill fortune or mischance shall happen to the Traveller by meanes of some Four-footed Beast; if he be in a humane Sign, it may be by some deceitfull ill men: if that ill Fortune instead of ♄ be ♂, it is to be feared he may incurre some sicknesse that is of an hot nature, or fall into the hands of Theeves, and shall have feare of himselfe touching hurt to his body, &c. and so of the rest.

若一颗凶星是第十二宫主星，而他是土星，就怕他会遇上起于冷而干之因的疾病，或遭受许多背叛，但若土星在兽形星座，就怕旅人会因某种四足兽而遭厄运或不测；若在人形星座，可能是因某些奸诈的恶人：若那颗凶星不是土星而是火星，就怕他会染上热性的疾病，或落入盗贼之手，为自身受伤而担惊，等等，其余类推。

Of the short or slow returne of him that taketh a Journey.

论出行的人归来快或慢。

Behold the Signifier of the Journey, if that Planet be swift in Course, Occidental, and ☽ and he in movable Signs, it signifieth his journy to be short, and not much tarrying from home, or a quick, speedy passage, yet with trouble and pain; but if he be swift, (viz. the Significator) in motion and Orientall, it shall be quick, short, and without any labour or much trouble: when the Lord of the ascendant doth apply unto the Lord of the house of Journeys, or when the Lord of the Journey applies to the Lord of the ascendant, or any Planet carryeth light of one to the other, or when the Lord of the house of Journeys is in the ascendant, or when the Lord of the seventh is in the ascendant, or the Lord of the ascendant in the seventh; all these doe signifie short returne, or good speed according to the length of the Voyage:

看旅程的征象星，若那颗行星行速快、西入，月亮与他都在启动星座，表示他的旅程短，不在外久留，或行程迅捷，但有辛劳；但若他（即征象星）行速快而东出，就迅捷、短，而且不费什么力、没有多少麻烦：上升主星入相旅程宫之主，或旅程之主入相上升主星，或有行星在两者之间传光，或旅程宫之主在上升，或第七宫主星在上升，或上升主星在第七宫；这些都表示归来得快，或按航程的长短而言进展顺利：

But if none of these be, or the greater part of the said Significators be in angles, especially in fixed Signes, it signifieth either destruction of his Journey, or else slow, or to be a great while absent: If a Fortune be in the house of Journeys, it signifieth health of body; a good Fortune in the mid-heaven signifieth mirth and jollity, or gladnesse in his journey, or that he shall have good company: in the seventh and fourth, it signifieth prosperity, and a good end of the Journey or Voyage.

但若这些都没有，或上述征象星大部分在角宫，尤其在固定星座，就表示旅程毁败，或迟缓，或要离家很久：若有吉星在旅程宫，表示身体健康；好的吉星在天顶，表示旅途中欢乐愉快，或有好同伴：在第七宫与第四宫，表示兴旺，旅程或航行有好结局。

If the Lord of the house of Journeys be in a fixed Signe, it signifieth continuance and long tarrying: in a common Signe, it signifieth he shall change his mind from his first intended thoughts, or remove from one journey to another.

若旅程宫之主在固定星座，表示滞留久住：在双体星座，表示他会改变最初的打算，或从一趟旅程转往另一趟。

If the ☽ in questions of Journeys, be in the sixt, or in ☍ to the Lord of the sixt, it shewes sicknesse to him that travels, and impediments in his occasions, and that his businesse shall be for the most part feeble, weak and slackly handled, his endeavours and designes shall be much crossed; yet if the Lord of the ascendant be fortunate, or in the house of trust, or not opposite to the same, it signifieth successe and prosperity, and the accomplishing of his businesse, though with many difficulties and obstructions.

在问出行的事里，若月亮在第六宫，或与第六宫主星对冲，表示出行的人生病，事务受阻，他的事大多办得软弱无力、拖拖拉拉，所图所谋多遭阻挠；但若上升主星吉，或在可托付之宫，或不与之对冲，就表示成功兴旺，事务办成，只是有许多困难阻碍。

When he shall returne that is gone a long Journey.

远行在外的人何时归来。

[You must ever have regard to the proper Significator.] Behold the Lord of the ascendant, if you find him in the ascendant or mid-heaven, or giving his power to another Planet being in any of those places, it signifieth that he shall returne, and is thinking of it; but if the Lord of the first be in the seventh, or in the angle of the earth, it signifies, that his returne is prolonged, and that as yet he is not gone far from the place he went unto, nor hath he yet any desire thereunto.

［务必始终顾及本来的征象星。］看上升主星，若发现他在上升或天顶，或把力量交给在这些位置上的另一颗行星，表示他会回来，并正在这样打算；但若第一宫主星在第七宫，或在地底的角宫，表示他的归期拖延，他至今还没从所去之地动身多远，也还没有回来的意思。

If the Almuten of the first be in the ninth or third from the ascendant, applying to a Planet in the ascendant, it signifieth he is in his journy homewards: the same also doth the Lord of the ascendant signifie if he be in the 8th or second, applying to any Planet in the tenth; yet notwithstanding, if the Lord of the ascendant be cadent, and doe not apply to any Planet in an angle, or behold the ascendant, it is a token of tarrying.

若第一宫的胜星在第九宫或在从上升数起的第三宫，入相一颗在上升的行星，表示他正在回家的路上：上升主星若在第八宫或第二宫，入相任何在第十宫的行星，也表示同样的事；不过，若上升主星在果宫，又不入相任何在角宫的行星，也不照看上升，那就是滞留的征兆。

But if at any time the Lord of the ascendant or the ☽ doe apply unto a Planet Retrograde, or the Lord of the ascendant himselfe be Retrograde, (viz. the Significator of the absent) and doe behold the ascendant, it is a token he is comming: but if the Lord of the ascendant be infortunate, it doth signifie some let or hinderance which makes him to tarry, or that he cannot come:

但若上升主星或月亮任何时候入相一颗逆行的行星，或上升主星本身逆行（即在外之人的征象星），又照看上升，就是他正在来的征兆：但若上升主星受凶，就表示有某种阻碍使他滞留，或使他来不了：

If you find not in the house of the ascendant any of those things which I have said, behold the ☽, and if she doe give her power or light to the Lord of the ascendant, being in the ascendant or neer the ascendant, it signifies that he shall come shortly, or intends it: also, if the ☽ be in the seventh, ninth or third, applying to the Lord of the ascendant, it signifies that he commeth:

若在上升宫里找不到我说过的这些情形，就看月亮，若她把力量或光交给上升主星，而他在上升或靠近上升，表示他很快就来，或有此打算：又，若月亮在第七、第九或第三宫，入相上升主星，表示他正在来：

If the ☽ be separate from a Planet which is in the left side of the ascendant (that is, under the earth) and applyeth to another Planet on the right hand of the ascendant, (that is, above the earth) it doth signifie that he commeth.

若月亮离开一颗在上升左边（即地平之下）的行星，入相另一颗在上升右边（即地平之上）的行星，表示他正在来。

If the ☽ be on the right hand of the ascendant, and apply to a Planet in the mid-heaven, it signifieth that he commeth, yet with slownesse; for the ☽ being on the right hand of the ascendant, doth shew so much; which if she had been on the left hand, she had shewed his comming sooner. If the Lord of the house of the ☽ be infortunate, it signifies tarrying, and let or hinderance in comming home.

若月亮在上升的右边，入相一颗在天顶的行星，表示他正在来，但慢；因为月亮在上升的右边，正表示这一点；若她在左边，就表示他来得较快。若月亮所在之庙的主星受凶，表示滞留，回家途中有阻碍。

You must ever consider for whom the question is asked, for if he that demands the question ask for a Sonne, then from the fift house look for the Significator: If for a Brother, then to the third: If for a Father, the fourth, &c. Behold the Fortunes and Infortunes casually placed in those places, and by them and their position, judge the estate of him that is absent in his journey, both for health and hinderance, for according to the estate or place of the Fortunes or Infortunes in the Figure, and their dignities or imbecillities, so you may judge.

务必始终考虑是为谁问的，若问卜者问的是儿子，就从第五宫找征象星：若问兄弟，就看第三宫：若问父亲，第四宫，等等。看偶然落在这些宫里的吉星与凶星，凭它们及其位置，判断在外之人旅途中的境况，包括健康与阻碍，因为依吉星或凶星在盘中的状态或位置，以及它们的尊贵或虚弱，就可据以判断。

[Still you must keep to the Lord of your proper ascendant.] When the Lord of the ascendant is in the ascendant, or in the second, entring or arising towards the ascendant, or if he be Retrograde, or the Planet which was the signifier of the Journey be Retrograde, or the Lord of the ascendant apply to the Lord of the tenth, or the Lord of the mid-heaven apply to the Lord of the ascendant, or if the Lord of the ascendant be in the mid-heaven, or the Lord of the mid-heaven be in the ascendant, or the ☽ received of the Lord of the tenth, or the Lord of the ascendant received of him; all these doe signifie that he that is absent is coming, and that he returneth speedily and shortly.

［你仍须守住你本来的上升主星。］上升主星在上升，或在第二宫、正朝上升进入或升起，或他逆行，或那颗作旅程征象星的行星逆行，或上升主星入相第十宫主星，或天顶主星入相上升主星，或上升主星在天顶，或天顶主星在上升，或月亮受第十宫主星接纳，或上升主星受他接纳；这些都表示在外之人正在来，而且归来迅速、为期不远。

The Planet from whom the Lord of the ascendant of the question is separated, is the Signifier of the state and condition in which he lately was, and of those actions which are past; and the Planet unto whom the Lord of the ascendant doth apply, is the Signifier of the state he is now in; and the Planet to whom he applyes after him, is the Significator of the state of him unto whom he shall come, or intends to come.

问卜盘的上升主星刚离开的那颗行星，是他最近所处状态与过去所行之事的征象星；上升主星正入相的那颗行星，是他现在所处状态的征象星；他之后再去入相的那颗行星，是他将要去见、或打算去见之人的状态的征象星。

If a question be asked for one that is in a journey, and you find his Significator going out of one Signe and entring into another, judge that he went out of the place he was in, and is entred another, or taken another journey in hand; and behold in which of those Signes he was stronger, more fortunate, or better received, and so judge his successe the better, and corresponding thereto.

若问的是一位在旅途中的人，你发现他的征象星正离开一个星座、进入另一个，就断他已离开原来所在之地，进了另一处，或又着手另一趟旅程；再看他在这两个星座中哪一个更强、更吉、更受接纳，就照此断他的成败更好，与之相应。

Note that Combustion in a question of one that is absent is ill, for that signifieth captivity, imprisonment, or some great let: if the Combustion be neer the house of death, or the ☉ Lord of the house of Death, it signifies death except God doe miraculously deliver him.

注意，在问在外之人的事里，焦伤是凶的，因为它表示被俘、下狱或某种大阻碍：若焦伤靠近死亡之宫，或太阳是死亡之宫的主星，表示死亡，除非上帝奇迹般地救他。

If in the question of him that is absent, you find in the ascendant or mid-heaven ☿ or the ☽, judge that Letters shall come from him, or some Newes very shortly, for ☿ is the Significator of Letters or Newes.

若在问在外之人的事里，你发现水星或月亮在上升或天顶，就断很快会有他的信或某些消息来，因为水星是信件或消息的征象星。

If you would know whether the Newes or Letters which are to come be good or ill, look from whom ☿ and ☽ are separate; if the separation be from a Fortune, it notes good newes, and joyfull; but if from ill Fortunes, judge the contrary.

若你想知道将来的消息或信件是好是坏，就看水星与月亮离开的是谁；若离开吉星，表示好消息、喜讯；若离开凶星，就断相反。

If a Question be asked of a Letter, whether it be true or not, behold ☿, if he be in a movable Signe, beholding ♄ or ♂, say it is a lye; if in a fixed Signe, judge it is true; in a common Signe, part true and part false.

若问一封信是真是假，看水星，若他在启动星座，照看土星或火星，就说是谎话；若在固定星座，断它是真的；在双体星座，半真半假。

The cause of a Journey, and the successe thereof.

出行的原因，及其成败。

Behold if the ☽ apply to the ☉, he goeth to Kings or States, or in service of such men, viz. of such as are able to maintaine him, &c.

看月亮若入相太阳，他是去见国王或掌权者，或为这类人效力，即能供养他的人，等等。

If ☽ apply to ♄, he is directed by old men, or men of gravity and yeers.

若月亮入相土星，他受老人或庄重年长者的指使。

If ☽ apply to ♃, Religious persons or Gentlemen doe imploy him.

若月亮入相木星，是教士或绅士雇用他。

If ☽ apply to ♂, men of Warre, Captaines, or such like are the cause.

若月亮入相火星，原因在军人、将领之类。

If to ♀, Women-kind, or desire to purchase such things as Women love.

若入相金星，是为女人，或想买女人喜爱的东西。

If to ☿, Merchants, Schollers, or he travels to see variety of Countryes, and to learne the languages.

若入相水星，是为商人、学者，或他出行是为看各国风物、学各种语言。

If ☽ her selfe signifie the cause, it seems he is hired, or that he is publikely imployed.

若月亮本身表示原因，看来他是受雇，或担任公差。

The cause is usually required from the house wherein the Lord of the ninth is; or if a Planet be therein, see what house he is Lord of; the Lord of the ninth in the ascendant, he goes of his owne accord; the Lord of the ninth in the second, for gaine; the Lord of the ninth in the third, purposely to travell, &c.

原因通常从第九宫主星所在的宫来求；或若有行星在第九宫，看他是哪一宫之主；第九宫主星在上升，他是自愿前去；第九宫主星在第二宫，为了求利；第九宫主星在第三宫，专为出游，等等。

Successe thereof.

其成败。

Behold the four angles, if a fortunate Planet be in the ascendant, the beginning of his journey shall be fortunate; if the mid-heaven be fortunate, the rest of his journey shall prove in like manner; if the seventh, it shall also happen well when he is arrived to the place he intends, or is at his journeys end: If Fortunes be in the fourth, all shall happen well in his returne homeward, & e contra; a most happy journey is intended.

看四个角宫，若一颗吉星在上升，他的旅程开头会顺利；若天顶吉，旅程其余部分也一样；若第七宫吉，他到了打算去的地方，或到了旅程终点，也会顺遂：若吉星在第四宫，回家途中一切都会顺遂，反之亦然；这表示一趟最幸运的旅程。

Also for the successe of a journey, behold the Lord of the ascendant, the ninth house and the ☽, and if they be all well affected, it sheweth a fortunate Journey.

又，问旅程的成败，看上升主星、第九宫与月亮，若它们都状态良好，表示旅程顺利。

Length thereof.

其远近长短。

If the Lord of the ninth be in the ascendant, or the Lord of the ascendant in the ninth, it hasteneth the journey; the Lord of the ascendant in the seventh, idem; the Significators in cadent houses, or in movable Signes, or the angles movable, idem: But if the angles be fixed, and the Significators posited therein, it prolongeth the journey: the Lord of the ninth in the ascendant, hasteneth the journey, and being fortunate therein, fortunateth the same Voyage, the Significators and ☽ slow in motion, a tedious Journey.

若第九宫主星在上升，或上升主星在第九宫，旅程就会加快；上升主星在第七宫，同上；征象星在果宫，或在启动星座，或角宫是启动星座，同上：但若角宫是固定星座，征象星又落在其中，旅程就会拖长：第九宫主星在上升，加快旅程，而他在那里又吉，就使这趟航行也顺遂，征象星与月亮行速迟缓，旅程冗长乏味。
