卷二·第十章　子女点

X. On Knowing the Lot of Children.

第十章　论子女点。

[1] The Lot of Children: count from Jupiter to Saturn, add to it the degrees of the Ascendant, and cast it out from the Ascendant thirty at a time; where it falls, look at its lord.

[1] 子女点：从木星数到土星，加上上升的度数，从上升起每三十度一宫数出去；落在哪里，就看那里的庙主。

[2] Then count from the lot to its lord how many signs there are, or from its lord to the lot, whichever follows the other; the number of signs between them is the number of children.

[2] 然后从点数到它的庙主，看有几个星座，或从庙主数到点，看哪个在后；两者之间有几个星座，就有几个子女。

[3] If you find a malefic between them, it indicates the destruction of the child.

[3] 若见其间有凶星，主子女夭亡。

[4] If the Sun or the Moon is square to the lot or opposite it, the Sun adds a male child and the Moon a female.

[4] 若太阳或月亮与点四分或对冲，太阳加一个男孩，月亮加一个女孩。

[5] If you find no planet in the lot and none regarding it, the first child is of no benefit, for it is miscarried or dies quickly.

[5] 若见点上没有行星，也没有行星照见它，头一个孩子无益，因为会小产或很快夭折。

[6] If you find the lot in an angle or a good place, let it be a good sign in the matter of children.

[6] 若见这个点在角上或在好的位置，在子女之事上就是好兆头。

[7] If it falls in the sixth or the twelfth place, neither male nor female will be born to him, or he will weep for those that are born, and he meets with worry and grief from this; and if children are born to him, they do not stay with him but scatter from him into the lands.

[7] 若落在第六或第十二宫，他既生不出男孩也生不出女孩，或者会为生下的孩子哭泣，因此忧愁悲伤；即便生了，孩子也不会留在他身边，而是离他散到各地。

[8] If the lot falls and there is no planet in its square or its opposition, especially none of the benefics, those are in want of children.

[8] 若点所落之处，它的四分、对冲之位都没有行星，尤其没有吉星，这样的人缺少子女。

Know that these are ever lacking in offspring.

要知道这样的人始终缺少子嗣。

[9] But if there are planets in the opposition of the lot or its square, it indicates that many children are born to him.

[9] 但若点的对冲或四分之位有行星，主他生子众多。

[10] If the lot falls in a sign of few children, it indicates few children.

[10] 若点落在少子的星座，主子女少。

[11] If Saturn is with it, it indicates that he will be barren, or have few children, or grieve over his children with severe grief.

[11] 若土星与它同在，主他不育，或子女少，或为子女极其悲伤。

[12] Jupiter and Mercury indicate children when they are in good places; and beware lest the lot be in the barren signs, which are Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, the beginning of Taurus, the middle of Libra, Aries, and Sagittarius.

[12] 木星与水星在好的位置时主有子女；要提防这个点落在不育星座，即双子、狮子、处女、摩羯、金牛初段、天秤中段、白羊和射手。

[13] As for Aquarius and the signs other than these, they are of many children; and Scorpio is of many children and of destroying them.

[13] 至于水瓶及其余星座，都是多子的；天蝎多子，却也使子女夭亡。

[14] If you find a planet in the opposition of the lot or in its square, say that he will have many children.

[14] 若见有行星在点的对冲或四分之位，就说他子女多。

[15] You should look at the lot, in case it is in a sign of few children; for if it is so, it indicates few children.

[15] 你应当看这个点是否在少子的星座；若是，就主子女少。

[16] If Saturn is in the lot, it is very bad, for he will be barren or have few children, and worry, grief, and hardship will befall them in the matter of children.

[16] 若土星在点上，非常不好，因为他会不育或子女少，在子女之事上忧愁、悲伤、艰难。
