卷二·第七十八章　噩梦

Terrible Dreames.

噩梦。

♃ and ♄ are Lords of the ninth accidentally posited in the twelfth, casting a □ aspect to the cuspe of the ninth : their position in the twelfth according to the best Authors, intimats the vanity of the Dream, and rather a Person or fancy oppressed wth various perturbations, and worldly matters, then any other matter :

木星与土星是第九宫的主星，偶然落在第十二宫，对第九宫宫头投出四分相：按最好的作者们的说法，它们落在第十二宫，暗示这个梦是虚妄的，不如说是一个人或他的心思受各种烦扰与俗务所压，而不是别的什么：

But according to our judgement, ♂ being the onely Planet in an Angle, shall best expresse the cause of the Dreame, and whether it will tend to good or evill; if we observe what house ♂ is Lord of, we shall finde he is Lord of the ascendant and disposer of ⊗, it being angular.

但按我们的判断，火星是唯一在角宫的行星，最能表明这梦的起因，以及它会趋吉还是趋凶；若我们看火星是哪一宫之主，就会发现他是上升主星，又是福点的定位星，福点正在角宫。

I therefore acquainted him that the occasion of his Dreames might be construed two wayes; one, by his too great care of his Estate and Fortune intrusted out, and now desperate ; because ♂ was in ☍ to ⊗ ; and that his minde ran so much thereupon, that his Fancy was disturbed, so that he could not enjoy that quiet and rest by night which nature affordeth all Creatures.

所以我告诉他，他的梦的起因可以从两方面解释；其一，是他太过挂心那些托付出去、如今已无望收回的产业与财富；因为火星与福点对冲；他的心思一直绕着这件事转，以致神思不宁，夜里享受不到大自然赐给一切生灵的那份安静与休息。

In the next place, because ♄ is Lord of the tenth, which signifies Office, Command, &c. and did afflict ♃ Lord of the ninth, or did impedite him at least ; I told him I doubted he had lost the benefit of some good Place in the Common-wealth, and that now he was solicitous how to live in that credit he formerly did : howsoever, because ♃ and ♂ were in ⚹, I judged no matter of perill to his person should come thereby, onely some dammage in Estate ; and this really proved true.

其次，因为土星是第十宫之主，第十宫主官职、权位等等，而他侵害了第九宫主星木星，或至少妨碍了他；我对他说，我疑心他失去了某个公职的好处，如今正为怎样维持从前那样的体面生活而忧心：不过，因为木星与火星成六分，我断这梦不会给他本人带来危险，只是产业上受些损失；这确实应验了。
