卷五·第三十五章　失窃与遗失之物

XXXV. Chapter: If You Want to Know the Matter of Something Stolen or Something Lost, Whether It Can Be Recovered or Not.

第三十五章　论失窃或遗失之物能否寻回。

[1] Look: if at the time the goods were stolen, or lost, or strayed, or when you are asked about it, the two luminaries regard one another from trine, it signifies that the goods will be recovered quickly, without toil or hardship.

[1] 要看：若财物被偷、遗失或走失的那个时刻，或你被问及此事的时刻，两光彼此成三分，表示财物很快就能寻回，不费力、不辛苦。

[2] But if the Sun regards the Moon from square, it signifies that the goods will be found after a long time and with hardship, and that the thieves have moved the goods from the first place in which they put them when they stole them to another place [text uncertain].

[2] 但若太阳从四分照见月亮，表示财物要过很久、费一番辛苦才能找到，而且贼已把财物从偷到时最初藏放的地方挪到了别处〔原文疑有讹误〕。

[3] If the Moon and the Sun are opposite one another, it signifies that the lost thing will be disclosed, but found only after a time and with hardship, and not easily brought back.

[3] 若月亮与太阳彼此对冲，表示失物会有消息，但要过一段时间、费一番辛苦才找得到，也不容易取回。

If the Moon is void of course (that is, when within 120 degrees she applies bodily to none of the planets), she shows a slow finding [text uncertain].

若月亮空亡（即在一百二十度之内，她与任何行星都没有同体相合），主寻回得慢〔原文疑有讹误〕。

[4] If the Moon is with a planet in that planet's own house, that is, with her own ruler, it signifies that the thing is likely to be found.

[4] 若月亮与一颗行星同在那颗行星自己的庙，即与她自己的庙主同在，表示东西多半能找到。

[5] If the Sun, or Jupiter, regards that place and that planet, it is likely to be found.

[5] 若太阳或木星照见那个位置与那颗行星，就多半能找到。

[6] If the dodecatemory of the Moon falls in the Ascendant, or in the Midheaven, or in the sign in which the Sun is, or in the sign in which the lord of the Moon is, or in a sign in which there is a planet making its oriental phase, the goods that were stolen or lost will be found, and very nearby.

[6] 若月亮的十二分部落在上升、中天、太阳所在的星座、月亮庙主所在的星座，或某颗正值东出相态的行星所在的星座，被偷或遗失的财物就能找到，而且就在近处。

[7] If the Moon is in the terms of the sign opposite the Ascendant, or in the second from it, it signifies that it will not be found, unless the Sun testifies to her.

[7] 若月亮在上升对宫的界里，或在其后第二宫，表示找不到，除非有太阳为她作证。

[8] But if at that hour the Sun regards the Moon from trine, it will be found; for God made the Sun a light, and it uncovers matters, illuminates everything dark, and brings it to light, by God's leave.

[8] 但若那个时刻太阳从三分照见月亮，就能找到；因为真主使太阳成为光，它揭开事物，照亮一切幽暗，使之显露——凭真主的允许。

[9] If the Moon is in the place that the learned among the astrologers call the burnt path, it signifies that it will not be recovered, and if it is recovered, then after hardship and delay.

[9] 若月亮在占星学者所称的「燃烧之道」，表示寻不回，即便寻回，也要经过艰难与延误。

The Moon in the ecliptic nodes makes the stolen thing hard to find.

月亮在食交点时，失窃之物难以找到。

[10] If both luminaries are under the earth, it signifies that the thing stolen or lost will vanish and will not be recovered.

[10] 若两光都在地平之下，表示被偷或遗失的东西会消失无踪，寻不回来。

[11] If the Lot of Fortune is with the Sun, or the Sun regards the Lot of Fortune, it signifies that the thing lost or stolen will be recovered quickly, made manifest.

[11] 若福点与太阳同在，或太阳照见福点，表示遗失或被偷的东西很快就能寻回、显露出来。

[12] If the Moon is with the Lot of Fortune or regards it, without the Sun regarding it or being with it, it signifies that the thing stolen or lost will be recovered, but with slowness and hardship.

[12] 若月亮与福点同在或照见它，而太阳既不照见它也不与它同在，表示被偷或遗失的东西能寻回，但又慢又辛苦。

[13] If neither of the two luminaries is with the Lot of Fortune or regards it, it signifies that the thing stolen or lost will not be recovered, and its owner should not seek it, for he will weary himself without attaining anything.

[13] 若两光都不与福点同在，也不照见它，表示被偷或遗失的东西寻不回来，失主也不该去找，因为他会白费力气、一无所得。

[14] If the Moon is in the Ascendant, it signifies that what was lost or stolen will be recovered quickly; for when the luminaries are in the Ascendant they signify that the thing stolen or lost will be recovered, since they have surpassing strength in that place.

[14] 若月亮在上升，表示遗失或被偷的东西很快就能寻回；因为两光在上升时，主被偷或遗失之物能寻回，它们在那个位置有极大的力量。

The Sun and the Moon rising together disclose not only the stolen thing but also the thief.

太阳与月亮一同在上升时，不但显出失物，连贼也显出来。

[15] If the Moon is under the beams of the Sun and decreasing, entirely without light, it signifies that the thing stolen or lost will certainly not be recovered, for this has come about through a binding decree.

[15] 若月亮在太阳光束之下而且光减，完全无光，表示被偷或遗失之物必定寻不回，因为这是出于不可违的定数。

[16] If the luminaries are in the sign opposite the Ascendant, it signifies that the thing stolen or lost will not be recovered except with slowness and hardship, or a dispute, a quarrel, or fighting.

[16] 若两光在上升的对宫，表示被偷或遗失之物要寻回，非经迟缓艰难，或争执、口角、打斗不可。

[17] If the Sun alone is in the Ascendant, what was stolen or lost will be recovered, unless the Ascendant is Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra with the Sun in it; for these three signs are opposite the signs of the Sun's triplicity.

[17] 若只有太阳在上升，被偷或遗失之物能寻回，除非上升是水瓶、双子或天秤而太阳在其中；因为这三个星座正对着太阳的三分星座。

[18] If the Sun is in one of these three signs, it is bad, and it is not likely that it will be recovered.

[18] 若太阳在这三个星座之一，就不好，不太可能寻回。

[19] If the Sun is in the Ascendant, and the thing stolen belongs to one whose nativity is known, then this is how to judge: if the theft or loss was at an hour when the Moon is in the sign in which a benefic was in his nativity, it signifies that the thing lost will be recovered; but if she is in a place in which a malefic was at the original fixing of the nativity, it will not be found.

[19] 若太阳在上升，而失物的主人本命盘可知，就这样推断：若失窃或遗失的时刻，月亮在他本命里有吉星的星座，表示失物能寻回；若她在出生定盘时有凶星的位置，就找不到。

If the inception shows a finding, you must also examine when it will be found, in this way.

若起事盘显示能找到，还要这样推求何时找到。

Take the number of signs from the Ascendant to the Sun, and again the number of signs from the Ascendant to the Moon, and combine the numbers; whatever total is found from the two numbers, say that after so many days, or so many months, or so many years the lost thing will be found — and then only if a benefic testifies; if a malefic, it is no longer found.

从上升数到太阳共几个星座，再从上升数到月亮共几个星座，把两个数合起来；两数合得多少，就说过多少天、多少个月或多少年失物会找到——但这要有吉星作证才成；若是凶星作证，就找不到了。

[20] Some of the ancient learned used to examine the matter of theft from the four angles. When one of them was asked about a theft or something lost, he looked at what was stolen or lost from the Ascendant; at the Midheaven for the owner of the goods, the one from whom they were stolen and who is seeking them; at the matter of the thief from the sign opposite the Ascendant; and at the hiding-place of the thieves, where they put what they stole, from the IC.

[20] 古代有些学者从四角推求失窃之事。他们被问及失窃或遗失时，从上升看被偷或遗失的东西；看中天以知失主，即被偷而正在寻找的人；从上升的对宫看贼的情形；从天底看贼藏匿所偷之物的地方。

[21] If the benefics are in the Ascendant or regard the Ascendant, they said that what was lost or stolen will be recovered and will return to its owners and to the house from which it was stolen.

[21] 若吉星在上升或照见上升，他们说遗失或被偷的东西能寻回，会回到失主手里、回到被偷的那户人家。

From the setting sign, or the planet in it, or its ruler, or the planets that testify to it, judge the appearance and the manner of the thief.

从下降的星座、其中的行星、其庙主，或为它作证的行星，推断贼的相貌与为人。

[22] If there is a planet in the Midheaven and that sign is one of its houses, they said that the one asking about the theft is truthful and is seeking his right: it is his own possession that he seeks, not another's.

[22] 若中天有一颗行星，而那个星座是它的庙之一，他们说问失窃的人说的是实话，是在讨回自己应得的：他找的是自己的东西，不是别人的。

[23] If the Midheaven does not belong to the planet that is in the Midheaven, and it has no strength there, they said that the seeker claims what is not his right: he is seeking not his own possession but another's.

[23] 若中天不属于在中天的那颗行星，它在那里也没有力量，他们说寻找的人所索非其所应得：他找的不是自己的东西，而是别人的。

[24] If the IC is a bicorporeal sign, they asserted that what was stolen or lost has been put out, not with one person, but with partners, such as brothers or kinsmen.

[24] 若天底是双体星座，他们断言被偷或遗失之物不是寄放在一个人那里，而是交给了几个同伙，如兄弟或亲属。

[25] If the IC is not bicorporeal but a tropical sign, they said that what was stolen or lost has been put out with one person only, with no partners in it.

[25] 若天底不是双体星座，而是回归星座，他们说被偷或遗失之物只寄放在一个人那里，没有同伙。

[26] If the IC is a masculine sign, they asserted that what was stolen or lost lies with a man; and if the sign is feminine, they said it lies with a woman; and likewise with the bicorporeal signs.

[26] 若天底是阳性星座，他们断言被偷或遗失之物在男人那里；若是阴性星座，他们说在女人那里；双体星座也照此看。

The setting must also be examined in the same way, whether it is masculine or feminine, bicorporeal or not.

下降也要照样看：是阳性还是阴性，是不是双体。

The Sun and the Moon testifying to the place under the earth say that the lost thing lies with kinsmen.

太阳与月亮为地下之位作证时，表示失物在亲属那里。

[27] If the IC is a moist sign, they asserted that what was stolen or lost has been put near a sea, a spring, a well, a valley, a river, a channel, a lake, or a place with water.

[27] 若天底是湿性星座，他们断言被偷或遗失之物被放在海、泉、井、山谷、河、渠、湖，或有水的地方附近。

[28] If the sign of the house of the fathers is a four-footed sign, they said that what was stolen or lost is in a sheepfold, or a shelter for animals, or a stable, or a pen.

[28] 若父母宫的星座是四足星座，他们说被偷或遗失之物在羊圈、牲口棚、马厩或畜栏里。

[29] If the IC is one of the signs that resemble human beings, and Jupiter and Venus regard it, they said that what was stolen or lost is in a clean spot and a good place, pure and holy.

[29] 若天底是人形星座，而木星与金星照见它，他们说被偷或遗失之物在干净的地方、好的处所，洁净而神圣。

[30] If Jupiter and Venus do not regard that angle, and Mars regards it, they said that what was stolen or lost is in places of fire, or by the forges of smiths, or a kitchen, or the like.

[30] 若木星与金星不照见那个角，而火星照见它，他们说被偷或遗失之物在有火的地方，或铁匠的炉边、厨房，诸如此类。

[31] If Mars does not regard that sign and Saturn regards it, they said that the thieves handed what was stolen or lost to slaves, who received it from them and put it in a dark house, a filthy place, damp and foul-smelling, or in a high, filthy place [text uncertain].

[31] 若火星不照见那个星座，而土星照见它，他们说贼把被偷或遗失之物交给了奴仆，奴仆从他们手里接下，放在黑暗的屋子、污秽潮湿而发臭的地方，或高处的脏地方〔原文疑有讹误〕。

[32] If Saturn regards that sign and Jupiter is in it, slaves did not receive that theft from the thieves, but one of good standing received it from them: it lies with a noble person.

[32] 若土星照见那个星座而木星在其中，从贼手里接下赃物的不是奴仆，而是有门第的人：东西在一位贵人那里。

[33] If Jupiter is not in that sign and Mars is in it, they said that the one who took those goods from the thieves was at first a slave and is now free: a freedman guards the stolen thing.

[33] 若木星不在那个星座而火星在其中，他们说从贼手里接下财物的人起初是奴仆，如今已是自由身：看守赃物的是一个获释的奴隶。

[34] If Mars is not in that sign and Venus is in it, from its first degree up to twenty degrees, they said that women received what was stolen from the thieves, and they are women of property and standing, free and of repute.

[34] 若火星不在那个星座而金星在其中，从第一度到二十度，他们说从贼手里接下赃物的是女人，而且是有财产、有门第、自由而有名望的女人。

[35] If Venus is in the remaining ten degrees of the sign that is under the earth, they said that slave women, or women who do the work of slave women, or freedwomen, received what was lost or stolen from the thieves.

[35] 若金星在地下那个星座剩下的十度里，他们说从贼手里接下遗失或被偷之物的是女奴，或做女奴活计的女人，或获释的女奴。

[36] If Venus is not in the IC and Mercury is in that place, in the first ten degrees of the sign, the one who took what was stolen from the thieves is a man of good birth and standing, well spoken of, rich; formerly he was poor, and today he is a man of property and means [text uncertain].

[36] 若金星不在天底，而水星在那里，在那个星座的头十度，从贼手里接下赃物的是一个出身好、有门第、名声好的富人；他从前穷，如今有财有势〔原文疑有讹误〕。

If Mercury is in the second ten degrees, it has been put out with a man who is free, but poor.

若水星在第二个十度，东西寄放在一个自由但贫穷的人那里。

[37] If Mercury is in the remaining ten degrees of the sign, they said that the one who took the goods from the thieves is a slave, or a man who does the work of slaves, or a hireling.

[37] 若水星在那个星座最后的十度，他们说从贼手里接下财物的是奴仆，或做奴仆活计的人，或雇工。

[38] If the Sun regards the Lot of Fortune, they said that what was lost or stolen will be recovered quickly and easily.

[38] 若太阳照见福点，他们说遗失或被偷之物很快就能顺利寻回。

[39] If it is the Moon that regards the Lot of Fortune and the Sun does not, they said that those goods will be recovered after slowness and with difficulty.

[39] 若照见福点的是月亮而不是太阳，他们说这些财物要拖延一阵、费些周折才能寻回。

[40] If neither luminary regards the Lot of Fortune nor the Ascendant, they said that those goods will not be recovered except after hardship and toil; neither the lost possession, nor the slave, if he flees.

[40] 若两光既不照见福点，也不照见上升，他们说这些财物非经艰难劳苦寻不回来；无论是遗失的财物，还是逃走的奴仆，都是如此。

[41] They said that if the Moon is in square or in trine to the Sun, or in opposition to it, a slave who runs away at that hour, or goods stolen or lost at that hour, will be recovered, and the thief made manifest.

[41] 他们说，若月亮与太阳成四分、三分或对冲，那个时刻逃走的奴仆，或那个时刻被偷、遗失的财物，都能寻回，贼也会显露出来。

[42] If at that hour which I mentioned the Sun is in trine, square, or opposition to the Moon, and the Sun is in the Ascendant, or in the angle of the Midheaven, or with the Lot of Fortune, or regards the angles and the places, it signifies that those goods will truly be recovered. If the Sun is in trine, square, or opposition to the Ascendant, it signifies the same as when so configured to the Moon.

[42] 若在我所说的那个时刻，太阳与月亮成三分、四分或对冲，而太阳在上升或中天之角，或与福点同在，或照见诸角与诸位，表示这些财物一定能寻回。若太阳与上升成三分、四分或对冲，所主与它这样对月亮时相同。

If the signs from the Sun show a finding while other signs suggest that it cannot be found, the stolen thing will be found later, after some delay; for the power of the Sun is the strongest, and the signs from it are the more certain.

若太阳方面的征兆显示能找到，而别的征兆显示找不到，失物会在拖延一段时间之后找到；因为太阳的力量最强，它给的征兆也更可靠。

[43] If the Moon is in the last degrees of the sign, in the third face, it signifies that what was lost or stolen at that hour will be moved from one place to another.

[43] 若月亮在星座的末几度、在第三个面，表示那个时刻遗失或被偷之物会被从一处挪到另一处。

All that has been said about thieves must also be examined for slaves who run away.

关于贼所说的这一切，对逃走的奴仆也要照样推求。

[44] If you want to know the condition of the goods that were stolen or lost, and want to know what they are, the indicator of all that is the Moon.

[44] 若你想知道被偷或遗失的财物情形如何、是什么东西，这一切的征象星都是月亮。

[45] For if at the hour at which you are asked about the theft she is in the terms of Saturn, and Saturn is in the Midheaven or in his exaltation, it signifies that what was stolen is not precious but old or dirty, a thing of the kind needed for tilling the land, for building, and for earning property.

[45] 因为若你被问及失窃的那个时刻，她在土星的界里，而土星在中天或在他的旺，表示被偷的东西并不贵重，而是旧的或脏的，是耕地、营造、谋财所需的那类东西。

[46] If Saturn is in none of these places but is under the earth, it signifies that the goods are dirty, worn, and shabby.

[46] 若土星不在这些位置，而在地平之下，表示财物又脏又旧又破。

[47] If Saturn is in a sign cadent from the angle, or in Aries in his fall, it signifies that the goods are worthless, cheap, dirty, old, and broken.

[47] 若土星在离开角的果宫星座，或在白羊即他的落陷之处，表示财物毫无价值、低贱、肮脏、陈旧、破损。

[48] If Saturn, being in these places cadent from the angles, regards the Moon, it signifies that what was stolen or lost has roughness and harshness in it, fit for hard work, such as a mattock, a sack, a rope, or a sickle.

[48] 若土星在这些离开角的果宫位置而照见月亮，表示被偷或遗失之物粗糙坚硬，适于粗重活计，如鹤嘴锄、麻袋、绳索、镰刀。

[49] If at that hour of asking the Moon is not in the terms of Saturn but in the terms of Jupiter, it signifies that what was stolen or lost is gold or silver, or something shining and of that kind, or garments of brocade, costly clothing, or a precious and renowned treasure, a thing that is found only in the treasuries of the very rich.

[49] 若被问的那个时刻月亮不在土星的界里，而在木星的界里，表示被偷或遗失的是金银，或闪亮的这一类东西，或锦缎衣裳、贵重衣物，或珍贵有名的宝物，只有巨富的库房里才有。

[50] If at that hour the Moon is not in the terms of Jupiter but in the terms of Mars, it signifies that what was stolen is something worked with fire, or in a kiln, or at a smith's forge, or with iron, or the like.

[50] 若那个时刻月亮不在木星的界里，而在火星的界里，表示被偷的是用火、在窑里、在铁匠炉边或用铁器制成的东西，诸如此类。

[51] If Mars and Mercury together regard the Moon, it signifies that the thing that I said was worked with fire and the kiln is something made with skilful and fine workmanship, shapely, lovely, and variously wrought.

[51] 若火星与水星一同照见月亮，表示我说的那件用火、用窑制成的东西做工精巧细致，形状好看、惹人喜爱、花样繁多。

[52] If the Moon is in the terms of Mars, and Mars does not regard her, but Venus or Mercury regards her, it signifies that the thing I described as worked with fire and the kiln is something inlaid with dye, or with stones, amulets, or the colours of gems: something pleasing, beautiful, and of fine colour.

[52] 若月亮在火星的界里，火星不照见她，而金星或水星照见她，表示我说的那件用火、用窑制成的东西镶有染色，或镶着宝石、护符，或带宝石的色彩：是悦目、美丽、颜色好的东西。

[53] If you are asked while the Moon is in the terms of Venus, it signifies that what was stolen or lost is silver, or gold, or a gem, or a precious stone, or garments worn by people, fine and splendid, embroidered, with colours of dye like the bloom of perfume, so that the scent of fragrance is taken from them; or a necklace, earrings, bracelets, or women's ornaments; or something sweet-smelling, perfumes and ointments, of moist substance and shining, that women desire and delight in.

[53] 若你被问时月亮在金星的界里，表示被偷或遗失的是银子、金子、珠宝、宝石，或人穿的华美衣裳，绣有花样，染色如香花之艳，闻得到香气；或项链、耳环、手镯、女人的饰物；或香的东西、香膏油脂，质地湿润而有光泽，是女人喜爱、爱不释手的。

[54] If at the hour at which you are asked the Moon is in the terms of Venus, and Venus is with the Moon in a feminine sign, it signifies that the goods that were stolen belong to women.

[54] 若你被问的那个时刻月亮在金星的界里，而金星与月亮同在一个阴性星座，表示被偷的财物是女人的。

[55] If Mars regards Venus, it signifies that what was stolen is of a substance without lustre, delicately worked: glassware, carved, varied, and shapely.

[55] 若火星照见金星，表示被偷的是没有光泽的质料、做工精细：是玻璃器物，雕刻过的，花样繁多，形状好看。

[56] If when you are asked the Moon is in the terms of Mercury, it signifies that what was stolen is a writing, a notebook of many leaves, a book containing the writing of the learned, or writing tablets and rolls, or what women or men need, or what is useful on journeys, such as dinars and dirhams and things struck with a die.

[56] 若你被问时月亮在水星的界里，表示被偷的是文书、多页的册子、载有学者著述的书，或写字板与卷轴，或男女所需之物，或旅行用得上的东西，如第纳尔、迪尔汗等打了印记的钱币。

[57] I shall explain what the signs signify along with what I have described to you about the terms; so mix the power of the signs with the terms, and it will be stronger for your knowledge and surer for your judgement.

[57] 我再讲星座所主的东西，配合我讲过的界；把星座的力量与界相混合，你的认识会更有把握，判断也更准。

[58] Look: if the Moon is in Aries when you are asked about what was stolen or lost, it signifies that what was stolen is everyday clothing, threads, wool, carpets, or ornaments worn on the head and face, or head-bands.

[58] 要看：若你被问及被偷或遗失之物时月亮在白羊，表示被偷的是日常衣物、线、羊毛、地毯，或戴在头上脸上的饰物，或头巾。

[59] If the Moon is in Taurus, it signifies that what was stolen is gold or silver, clothing, a mantle, or an ornament worn round the neck, or something set aside for vows, temples, and the gods, or sheep or four-footed beasts.

[59] 若月亮在金牛，表示被偷的是金银、衣物、披巾，或挂在颈上的饰物，或供许愿、庙宇与神明之用的东西，或羊群、四足牲畜。

[60] If the Moon is in Gemini, what was stolen is dirhams or dinars, or something needed in taking and giving, contracts and papers, a notebook with writing in it, images or an idol made for the gods, and whatever is useful for feasting.

[60] 若月亮在双子，被偷的是迪尔汗或第纳尔，或取予往来所需之物、契约文书、有字的册子、画像或供神的偶像，以及宴饮用得上的东西。

[61] If the Moon is in Cancer, it signifies that what was stolen is something of daily use for people, such as food, or some moist thing, cheap and of small amount.

[61] 若月亮在巨蟹，表示被偷的是人们日常用的东西，如食物，或某种湿的东西，便宜而且量少。

[62] If the Moon is in Leo, it signifies that it is gold or silver, or something wrought of brass.

[62] 若月亮在狮子，表示是金银，或黄铜打造的东西。

[63] If the Moon is in Virgo, it signifies that it is women's ornaments or dinars.

[63] 若月亮在处女，表示是女人的饰物或第纳尔。

[64] If the Moon is in Libra, it signifies that what was stolen is a mixture of things: something used for the body, spices, ointments, and perfumes, or something bought by weight, or compounded and moulded by hand, such as pastilles, incense, or carved things, or ornaments made for the hands.

[64] 若月亮在天秤，表示被偷的是各种东西相混：身上用的东西、香料、油膏、香水，或论重量买的东西，或调配而成、手工捏制的东西，如香丸、熏香，或雕刻之物，或手上戴的饰物。

[65] If the Moon is in Scorpio, it signifies that what was stolen is gold, silver, brass, or a shining stone, a precious stone, and the like.

[65] 若月亮在天蝎，表示被偷的是金、银、黄铜，或发亮的石头、宝石之类。

[66] If the Moon is in Sagittarius, it signifies that what was stolen is something of many colours, the colours of gems, of many forms, large and well made, a thing that is desired and competed for, and held dear by its owners.

[66] 若月亮在射手，表示被偷的是五颜六色、带宝石色彩、样式繁多、又大又做得好的东西，是人人想要、争相求取、主人珍爱的东西。

[67] If the Moon is in Capricorn, it signifies that what was stolen is like what I described when the Moon is in Cancer, or similar to it, or of that kind.

[67] 若月亮在摩羯，表示被偷的东西与我讲月亮在巨蟹时所说的相同，或相似，或属同类。

[68] When the Moon is in Aquarius, it signifies that what was stolen is like what I described when the Moon is in Leo, or similar to it, or of that kind.

[68] 月亮在水瓶时，表示被偷的东西与我讲月亮在狮子时所说的相同，或相似，或属同类。

[69] If the Moon is in Pisces, what was stolen is like what the Moon signifies when she is in Sagittarius, or similar to it, or of that kind.

[69] 若月亮在双鱼，被偷的东西与月亮在射手时所主的相同，或相似，或属同类。

[70] If the Moon is increasing in her reckoning and in her light, what was stolen is something new and newly made; and if the Moon is decreasing in her reckoning and in her light, it signifies that what was stolen is old or worn.

[70] 若月亮推算值与光都在增长，被偷的是新的、新近做成的东西；若月亮推算值与光都在减少，表示被偷的是旧的或穿用过的东西。

[71] If you are asked a question and the Ascendant is a bicorporeal sign, it signifies that what was stolen is two things, or something double and joined, one part to another; and if the application of the Moon is in a bicorporeal sign, or the Moon is in a bicorporeal sign, it signifies the same.

[71] 若你被问时上升是双体星座，表示被偷的是两件东西，或是成双、彼此相连的东西；若月亮的入相位在双体星座，或月亮在双体星座，也主同样的事。

[72] If you want to know the number of the goods that were stolen, count from the first degree in which the Moon is to the degree in which Mercury is, and see how many signs the number of degrees makes.

[72] 若你想知道被偷的财物有几件，就从月亮所在的那一度数到水星所在的那一度，看这些度数合几个星座。

[73] If they are signs of even number, it signifies that what was stolen is joined together, or more than one.

[73] 若星座数是偶数，表示被偷的东西是连在一起的，或不止一件。

[74] If the signs between the Moon and Mercury are odd, what was stolen is one thing.

[74] 若月亮与水星之间的星座是奇数，被偷的只有一件。

[75] If you are asked about a theft, look at the Ascendant at that hour.

[75] 若你被问及失窃，就看那个时刻的上升。

[76] If the two luminaries regard it, the one who stole those goods is of the people of the house and the household, and did not come in from outside.

[76] 若两光都照见上升，偷这些财物的人是这户人家、这个宅院里的人，不是从外面进来的。

[77] If one of the two luminaries regards the Ascendant and the other is far from the Ascendant and does not regard it, it signifies that the thief is not of the household, but he comes and goes there often and its people know him.

[77] 若两光中一个照见上升，另一个远离上升、不照见它，表示贼不是这户的人，但常来常往，这户人家认得他。

[78] If neither luminary regards the Ascendant, the thief is a stranger, a foreigner, who came in from outside: there is no acquaintance between him and the household, and he has not frequented the house before.

[78] 若两光都不照见上升，贼是生人、外乡人，从外面进来：他与这户人家素不相识，以前也没来过。

[79] If you want to know the appearance of the thief, his form and his colour, the planets that are at that hour in the sign opposite the Ascendant are the indicators of that.

[79] 若你想知道贼的相貌、身形与肤色，那个时刻在上升对宫里的行星就是征象星。

[80] If you find no planet at all in that place, look at the sign cadent from the sign of the Midheaven, which is the ninth from the Ascendant.

[80] 若见那个位置一颗行星也没有，就看从中天星座落下来的那个星座，即上升起算的第九宫。

[81] Look at the planets in it, for they signify the description of the thief, his colour, and his appearance.

[81] 看其中的行星，它们主贼的样貌、肤色与相貌。

[82] If you find this sign too empty, with no planet in it, look at the sign cadent from the Ascendant, which is the twelfth from the sign of the Ascendant.

[82] 若见这个星座也空着，没有行星，就看从上升落下来的那个星座，即上升起算的第十二宫。

[83] If you find any planet in it, it signifies the description and appearance of the thief.

[83] 若其中有行星，它就主贼的样貌与相貌。

[84] If you find this place also empty, look at the Moon at that hour, to which planet she applies bodily, for that is an indicator of the description of the thief.

[84] 若见这个位置也空着，就看那个时刻的月亮与哪颗行星同体入相位，那颗行星就是贼样貌的征象星。

[85] If the Moon at that hour applies to none of the planets, look at the Moon, from which planet she is coming out and to which planet she is going, for these two planets signify the description of the thief.

[85] 若月亮那个时刻不与任何行星入相位，就看月亮从哪颗行星出来、往哪颗行星去，这两颗行星主贼的样貌。

If no planet is joined to the Moon, see which planet, within seven days before the theft, made some phase or station or passed from one sign to another, and from that planet you will know the form and appearance of the thief.

若没有行星与月亮相合，就看失窃前七天之内，哪颗行星有过某种相态变化、停留，或从一个星座进入另一个星座，从那颗行星可以知道贼的身形与相貌。

[86] If the indicator of the description of the thief is Jupiter, the thief is white-skinned, plump and well-fed, of good condition, with large eyes, and the pupils smaller than they should be for the size of the eye, not sharp-sighted; their beards are round, thick, and curly, and their character and manners are good.

[86] 若贼样貌的征象星是木星，贼皮肤白，丰满而养得好，体格健壮，眼睛大，瞳仁却比那么大的眼睛该有的小，眼力不锐；他们的胡子圆而浓密卷曲，性情与举止都好。

[87] If the indicator of the description of the thieves is Saturn, it signifies that the thief is ugly in face, black in colour, his gaze downcast toward the ground and broken, small-eyed and short-sighted, lean, with a crooked gaze, wrinkled, overcast with yellowness, hairy, with much hair, with joined eyebrows, a liar, sickly, foul-smelling, gloomy of face; his character and manners run to concealment and tricks, deep, a man of brooding thought and scrutiny.

[87] 若贼样貌的征象星是土星，表示贼面貌丑陋，肤色黑，目光低垂看地、神情颓丧，眼睛小又近视，消瘦，斜眼看人，有皱纹，面带黄色，多毛，毛发浓密，两眉相连，说谎，多病，身有异味，脸色阴沉；性情举止好隐瞒、多诡计，城府深，好盘算、爱窥察。

[88] If the indicator of the description of the thieves is Mars, the thief is ruddy in colour, with fair, reddish hair, straight-haired, fierce and sharp of gaze, with grey eyes, round in face, with small ears, cheerful, a joker, a man of whims who turns himself from one state to another, quick to impulse, sharp of glance, bold in harming people and quick to rush out at them.

[88] 若贼样貌的征象星是火星，贼肤色红，头发金红，直发，目光凶狠锐利，灰眼，圆脸，耳朵小，开朗，好说笑，主意多变，一会儿这样一会儿那样，性子急，眼神锐利，敢于害人、动辄冲人而去。

[89] If it is Venus that signifies the thief, the thief is handsome and shapely, with much hair on the head, thick, with beautiful eyes, the black of his eyes larger than the white, white of cheek and colour, his whiteness mixed with red and slightly dark, plump and fleshy, of good manners and bearing, well disposed, receptive to what is fair.

[89] 若主贼的是金星，贼英俊好看，头发多而浓，眼睛漂亮，眼珠黑的部分比白的多，脸颊与肤色白，白里透红，又略带深色，丰满多肉，举止风度好，性情和善，乐于向善。

[90] If the indicator of the description of the thief is Mercury, it signifies that the thief is thin, lean and dryish, well-boned, of moderate and well-proportioned stature, curly-haired, with a good beard, yellowish, not straight in his thinking, of many-sided mind.

[90] 若贼样貌的征象星是水星，表示贼瘦削、偏干，骨架好，身材适中匀称，头发卷曲，胡子好看，面色微黄，心思不直，主意多端。

[91] If the indicator of the description of the thief is the Sun or the Moon, his description and likeness are of the kind I described in one of these places, according to the planet that is with the Sun or the Moon, or regards the Sun or the Moon, and is blended with them.

[91] 若贼样貌的征象星是太阳或月亮，他的样貌就照与太阳或月亮同在、或照见太阳或月亮、与之相混的那颗行星，按我在上面某处所说的来定。

[92] If the Sun and the Moon do not regard the planets, but are turned away from them, with no regard to any planet nor any planet with them in one sign, and the Sun is the indicator of the description of the thief, it signifies that the thief is plump, well-fed, compact, ruddy, and that yellowness and pallor are mixed in his eyes.

[92] 若太阳与月亮不照见诸行星，而是背离它们，与任何行星都没有相位，也没有行星与她们同在一个星座，而太阳是贼样貌的征象星，表示贼丰满、养得好、结实，面色红润，眼中带黄、带苍白。

[93] If the Moon is the indicator of the description of the thief, it signifies that the thief is fair of aspect, well-tempered, white, fleshy, round in face, with beautiful eyes.

[93] 若月亮是贼样貌的征象星，表示贼相貌清秀、气质匀和，皮肤白，多肉，圆脸，眼睛漂亮。

[94] Look also at the nature of the signs in which the indicating planets are found, for it is fitter that they agree with one another, and more likely that you will know this and judge it more exactly.

[94] 还要看作为征象星的行星所在星座的性质，因为这样它们更容易彼此相合，你也更能知道这件事、判断得更准。

[95] For the nature and form of the sign signify, along with the planet that signifies the description of the thief and his kind, if the sign is with the planet that indicates the description of the thief; so mix the signs with the positions of the planets.

[95] 因为星座的性质与形象，也同指示贼样貌与类型的那颗行星一起起作用——当那个星座里有指示贼样貌的行星时；所以要把星座与行星的位置相混合来看。

[96] Aries signifies that he is hairy, with much hair, of good stature, tall, his face and gaze bent toward the ground, curly-haired, overbearing, cheerful of face, a joker, foul in speech.

[96] 白羊表示他多毛、毛发浓密，身材好、个子高，脸与目光朝下，头发卷曲，蛮横，面带笑容，好说笑，出言粗鄙。

[97] Taurus signifies that the thief is snub-nosed, broad of forehead, with a prominent head, hairy of body, his hair standing up; his character is not to be known, for it is of many kinds, and he has strength in hiding, deceiving by pretence, and cunning, with a feigned decency; with wide nostrils, a thick neck, plump, the black of his eyes large, thin-lipped, with large eyebrows, and inclined to shortness.

[98] 双子表示贼身材适中匀称，鼻子长，娇气，两肩宽、肩形好看，性情举止都好；他们有的会写字识字，有的以前受人信任，在人群中有地位，为人所认可。

[99] Cancer signifies that the thief is large of frame, thick-boned, thick-haired, broad and stern of face, black in colour, with irregular teeth, of moderate stature, his lower parts larger than his upper parts.

[101] 处女表示贼身材适中，体态好，身形端正，身材四肢匀称，不过胖也不过瘦，举止良好有规矩，可靠、诚实；他受过书写训练，或借文字学过一门手艺，学的是有用的东西，受人欢迎，为人公正、处事得当。

[102] Libra signifies that the thief is handsome in face and colour, with beautiful eyes, white, with even limbs that do not differ from one another, useful for service, well-formed, graceful and witty; he has been trained in playing strings, singing, the composition of melodies, and poetry; handsome of face, good at ordering his livelihood, precise in speech; and according to the power of Venus he is eager and greedy for women, inclined to them.

[103] 天蝎表示贼头发浓密直立，瞳仁不黑而是灰蓝，眼睛大小适中，圆脸，喉部突出，额头窄小，小腿长，脚大而好看，两肩宽、胸膛阔；生性好抢夺、贪婪、嫉妒，不知羞耻，做事不加思量，胆大妄为，不为人所认可，名声坏。

[104] Sagittarius signifies that the thief is long in the thighs and legs, broad in the shanks, well-formed, more handsome when seen from behind than from the front, his beard straight, long, pointed, and sparse, red in colour, pot-bellied, clever, light, swift-footed, thin, a runaway, a wanderer, a swimmer, an archer, skilful with his hands, resourceful in gain, a spendthrift, generous, irascible; some of them are greedy for animals and fond of sheep, and some are bald or have no hair.

[108] The indicator of this description is the planets and the signs when they are mixed with one another; but one should not think that all the signs are to be found in each case without omission, but judge as far as can be done with skill, and confirm the judgement from the planets configured with them.

[108] 这些样貌的征象，是行星与星座相互混合而成的；但不要以为每一条征象都会在每个人身上一一出现，而要尽可能凭技艺推求，并据与之相配置的行星来印证判断。

[109] If the benefics regard the indicator that signifies the description of the thief, the thief is a man of standing, and free.

[109] 若吉星照见指示贼样貌的征象星，贼是有门第的人，是自由人。

[110] If the malefics regard the indicator, the thief is a slave or a slave woman, or one whose work is service, or a poor man, or a hireling.

[110] 若凶星照见这颗征象星，贼是奴仆或女奴，或干差使的人，或穷人，或雇工。

[111] If it is Venus that signifies the thief and his description, the one who stole is a woman, or the theft was for women: a woman will be the cause of the theft.

[111] 若指示贼及其样貌的是金星，偷东西的是女人，或是为女人而偷：失窃的起因是一个女人。

[112] If Mercury is the indicator of the thief, the thief is a boy or a young lad.

[112] 若水星是贼的征象星，贼是男孩或少年。

[113] If Mars is the indicator of the thief, it signifies that he is a young man in his prime.

[113] 若火星是贼的征象星，表示他是正当壮年的青年。

[114] If Jupiter is the indicator of the thief, it signifies that the thief is of middle age.

[114] 若木星是贼的征象星，表示贼是中年人。

[115] If Saturn is the indicator, it signifies that the thief is advanced in years.

[115] 若土星是征象星，表示贼上了年纪。

[116] Along with what I have described to you, look at the positions of the planets, and mix them with what I described to you at the beginning of this book.

[116] 除了我讲给你的这些，还要看行星的位置，与我在本书开头讲给你的相混合来看。

[117] If the planet is oriental, in its morning rising, it signifies that the thief is young, a boy.

[117] 若这颗行星东出，正值晨升，表示贼年轻，是个孩子。

[118] If it is occidental, at its evening setting, it signifies that he is advanced in years, old.

[118] 若它西入，正值昏没，表示他上了年纪，是个老人。

[119] If it is making its first station, it signifies that he is in his prime;

[119] 若它正在第一次停留，表示他正当壮年；

if it is rising at nightfall, of middle age;

若它在入夜时升起，是中年人；

[120] and if it is making its second station, that he is greying, nearer to old age than to youth.

[120] 若它正在第二次停留，表示他已花白，离老年比离青年近。

[121] If the indicating planet is under the beams of the Sun, in its evening concealment, it signifies the age of that thief: he is old.

[121] 若作为征象星的行星在太阳光束之下，正值昏隐，就表示这贼的年纪：他是老人。

[122] When a planet comes out from under the beams and becomes occidental or oriental, the oriental signifies that he is young and the occidental that he is old.

[122] 行星从光束之下出来，成为西入或东出时，东出主年轻，西入主年老。

[123] If it is Saturn that has come out from under the beams and has become oriental, mix his nature with the place where he has become oriental: he then signifies that the thief is of middle age, neither very old nor young, the judgement being mixed from the child and the old man.

[123] 若从光束之下出来、成为东出的是土星，就把他的本性与他东出的位置相混合：这时他表示贼是中年人，既不很老，也不年轻，判断是由「孩子」与「老人」两者混合而来。

[124] If the indicator is Mercury or Venus and they are oriental, they signify that the thief is a girl or a young lad.

[124] 若征象星是水星或金星而它们东出，表示贼是少女或少年。

[125] If they are occidental, they signify that the thief is of middle age.

[125] 若它们西入，表示贼是中年人。

But some say that Venus and Mercury as evening stars rising signify young men or young women as the thieves; after the first station, as evening stars setting, men of middle age; and as morning stars rising, older people.

但另有一说：金星与水星作为昏星升起时，主贼是少男少女；过了第一次停留、作为昏星西没时，主中年人；作为晨星升起时，主年纪较大的人。

[126] If the indicator is in its exaltation, it signifies that the thief is sound of limb, large and tall of body.

[126] 若征象星在它的旺，表示贼肢体健全，身材高大。

[127] If it is in its fall, it signifies that his limbs are not sound, that there is a defect in them, and that he is small.

[127] 若它在落陷之处，表示他肢体不健全、有缺陷，身材矮小。

[128] If that planet is near its exaltation, it signifies the like of what I described when it is in its exaltation, and near its fall, the like of its fall; reckon the size proportionally to its distance.

[128] 若那颗行星接近它的旺，就主我讲它在旺时所说的那样；接近落陷之处，就像在落陷之处那样；身材大小按它的距离比例推算。

For example, let Mars, signifying the thief, occupy the third decan of Aries: we say that the thief is of middle size, for from the third decan of Capricorn this is the middle of the interval of the half-circle.

举例说：设指示贼的火星在白羊的第三个十度：我们说贼身材中等，因为从摩羯的第三个十度算起，这里正是半圈距离的中点。

If he were in Pisces or in Scorpio, we would say that the size is greater than middle, and if in Taurus or Virgo, less than middle.

若他在双鱼或天蝎，我们就说身材比中等大；若在金牛或处女，就比中等小。

[129] So too if it applies to a planet in its exaltation or in its fall.

[129] 若它入相位于一颗在旺或落陷之处的行星，也是如此。

[130] If the indicator of the thief is within seven days of entering under the beams of the Sun after the theft has been committed, know that the thief has fallen into some evil.

[130] 若失窃发生后，贼的征象星在七天之内进入太阳光束之下，可知贼已陷入某种祸患。

[131] If it is Mars that regards that planet, it signifies that the thief has met with wounds, tortures, prison, punishment, hardship, and grievous dangers.

[131] 若照见那颗行星的是火星，表示贼已遭创伤、拷打、牢狱、刑罚、艰难与严重的危险。

[132] Look in this matter at the Lot of Fortune.

[132] 这件事还要看福点。

[133] If no malefic regards it, it signifies that no theft has taken place, but the thing sought has only fallen somewhere and is hidden; and if the Sun alone regards the Lot of Fortune, it was not stolen at all but is hidden.

[133] 若没有凶星照见它，表示并没有发生失窃，所找的东西只是掉在某处、被遮住了；若只有太阳照见福点，东西根本没有被偷，只是藏在某处。

[134] If it is Saturn that regards the Moon and the Ascendant, it signifies that the thief contrived, schemed, and deceived, through some guile and ambush, until he stole.

[134] 若照见月亮与上升的是土星，表示贼是靠算计、设谋、欺骗，借某种诡计与埋伏才偷到手的。

[135] If Jupiter is the indicator of the thief, it signifies that the thief did not intend theft but entered the house for some other reason, trusted on account of a feigned good character and a pretence of decency, and the theft presented itself to him after he had entered the house, when he saw what was exposed.

[135] 若木星是贼的征象星，表示贼本无偷窃之意，是为别的事进了这户人家——凭着装出来的好品行、假装的正派而受人信任——进门之后看到有隙可乘，偷窃才起了念头。

[136] If it is Mars that regards the Ascendant and the Moon, it is a matter in which he reached the theft by force and violence: he broke in, or dug through the wall of the house in which the goods were, or broke the lock, or made a copy of the key, or forced the door, or entered through a window of the house.

[136] 若照见上升与月亮的是火星，这是靠强力与暴力得手的事：他破门而入，或挖穿放财物那间屋子的墙，或砸坏门锁，或仿造钥匙，或撬开门，或从屋子的窗洞钻进去。

[137] If it is Venus that regards the Ascendant and the Moon, it signifies that the thief entered for conversation and on account of a friendship that was between him and the household, or for companionship, merriment, or women, and, trusted on that account, he stole.

[137] 若照见上升与月亮的是金星，表示贼是借着闲谈、借着与这户人家的交情，或借同伴相聚、宴饮作乐、女人的缘故进门的，因此受人信任，便偷了东西。

[138] If it is Mercury that regards the Ascendant and the Moon, it signifies that the thief entered the house only by guile, trickery, cleverness, and villainy, intending mischief against the people of the house in which he stole.

[138] 若照见上升与月亮的是水星，表示贼完全是靠诡计、花招、机巧与奸猾进门的，存心要害他行窃的那户人家。
