卷三·第二章　论释放者，附例盘二

II. On the Releaser.

第二章　论释放者。

[1] The hīlāj is the indicator, and the kadkhudah is the governor of the matter of life.

[1] hīlāj 就是指示星（释放者），kadkhudah 就是寿命之事的总管。

[2] The releaser by day is the Sun and by night the Moon; then the Lot of Fortune; then the prenatal conjunction or full moon, if it is in an advantageous place; and last of all the degrees of the terms of the Ascendant; and of each of these one uses the lord of its terms.

[2] 释放者白天是太阳，夜里是月亮；其次是福点；其次是出生前的合朔或望，须在得力的位置；最后才是上升之界的度数；每一个都要用它的界主。

[3] For one whose birth is from the conjunction to the full moon, the degree of the conjunction; for one whose birth is between the full moon and the conjunction, the degree in which the full moon was, which is the fifteenth of the month, and its night is the strongest of this.

[3] 生在合朔到望之间的，取合朔的度数；生在望到合朔之间的，取望所在的度数，那是月之十五日，那一夜最有力。

[4] By day the Sun and by night the Moon, and the better of them is the one that is in an angle, especially the Ascendant.

[4] 白天太阳，夜里月亮；两者中在角的更好，尤其在上升。

[5] The lord of the terms must regard the releaser, or the lord of its house, or the lord of its exaltation, or the lord of its triplicity, or the lord of its face.

[5] 界主必须照见释放者，或者它的庙主、旺主、三分主、面主照见它。

[6] When it is in this condition, it is the releaser; but if the lord of the terms does not witness it, nor any of those I have mentioned, the lord of its house, its triplicity, its exaltation, or its face (first of them the lord of the terms, then the lord of the triplicity), it is not right to make it the releaser.

[6] 处于这种情形，它就是释放者；但若界主不为它作证，我说过的那几位——庙主、三分主、旺主、面主——也都不为它作证（首先是界主，其次是三分主），就不宜以它为释放者。

In any case the releaser must have one of these as its witness.

无论如何，释放者都必须有这些星之一为它作证。

[7] Look at who casts its ray: whether you find a planet casting its ray to the releaser from either square, either trine, or either sextile, or by being with it, or by opposition.

[7] 要看是谁在投射光线：是否见某颗星从左右两个四分、两个三分、两个六分，或同宫、对冲，向释放者投射光线。

[8] In a diurnal nativity, if the Sun is in the Ascendant, in the degrees above the earth, and one of those I have mentioned regards it, it has the power to be the releaser.

[8] 昼生盘里，若太阳在上升、在地平之上的度数，又有我说过的那几位之一照见它，它就有力量当释放者。

[9] Likewise if you find it in the Midheaven or in the eleventh sign, which is the sign of good fortune.

[9] 若见它在中天或第十一个星座——即福分之宫——也一样。

[10] Look in the same way, in nocturnal nativities, at the Moon, when she is in an effective place.

[10] 夜生盘里也同样看月亮，在她处于有力的位置时。

[11] But if in diurnal nativities you find the Sun cadent and afflicted and the Moon in these strong places, the Moon has the stronger claim.

[11] 但若昼生盘里见太阳落在果宫又受克，而月亮在这些有力的位置，月亮就更有资格。

[12] Likewise in a nocturnal nativity, if you find the Moon cadent and the Sun in the Ascendant, in the degrees near the Ascendant under the earth, speak of the Sun.

[12] 同样，夜生盘里若见月亮落在果宫，而太阳在上升、在上升点附近的地下度数，就以太阳论。

[13] Look at the Lot of Fortune in the same way.

[13] 福点也照这样看。

[14] Look at the place in which the conjunction of the Sun and the Moon, or the full moon, was.

[14] 要看日月合朔或望所在的位置。

[15] When you have found the releaser, look at the lord of the terms of the Sun and the Moon.

[15] 找到释放者后，看太阳与月亮的界主。

[16] If you find them cadent and not regarding the releaser, that releaser is not suitable.

[16] 若见它们落在果宫、不照见释放者，那个释放者就不合用。

[17] If you find a malefic casting its ray to the degree of the releaser, it harms it, and the harm comes to him at the time when that malefic is the governor of the division or of the ray; so prefer the releasing place that is free and clear of any configuration with a malefic.

[17] 若见有凶星把光线投到释放者的度数，就伤害它；伤害在那颗凶星成为分配或光线之总管的时候到来；所以要优先选取不与凶星成配置的释放位置。

[18] Suppose the Sun was opposite Mars from the Ascendant: this signifies the squandering of his father's property, grief from men of rank, ruin that harms him, and pain in his foot; and this comes to him at the time when Mars is the governor of the ray.

[18] 设想太阳在上升而与火星对冲：这主父亲的财产被挥霍、因权贵而忧伤、遭败坏之害、脚痛；这些在火星成为光线之总管时到来。

[19] Since the native was diurnal, in seeking the releaser I looked at the Sun, and found the Sun cadent.

[19] 因为此人是昼生，找释放者时我先看太阳，见太阳落在果宫。

[20] I also looked at the Moon, and found her cadent.

[20] 我又看月亮，见她也落在果宫。

[21] I found the Lot of Fortune and the full moon also cadent.

[21] 又见福点与望也都落在果宫。

[22] So there was nothing from which the releaser could be found except the Ascendant.

[22] 所以除了上升，别无可取的释放者。

[23] The lord of the terms of the Ascendant was Mars, above the earth and on the eastern side, and the four parts mentioned and the place of fortune [text uncertain]; it regards the Ascendant and casts its ray from above to the term in which the Ascendant is, for it casts to both the house and the term; had it cast to the house alone, it would not have this power.

[23] 上升的界主是火星，在地平之上、东方一侧，以及上述四分与福分之位〔原文疑有讹误〕；它照见上升，从上方把光线投到上升所在的界，因为它同时投向庙与界；若只投向庙，就没有这样的力量。

[24] One degree of the term remained, and it belonged to Mars.

[24] 这个界只剩一度，归火星。

[25] So Mars governed the division and the ray.

[25] 于是火星掌管了分配与光线。

[26] Until this degree was completed in his division and ray, without the ray of any other, Mars signified in that year harm from fire and illness.

[26] 在他的分配与光线里，这一度走完之前，没有别的星投光，火星在那一年主火灾之害与疾病。

[27] Even if Mars is in a good place, he must signify things like this.

[27] 即使火星在好位置，也必定主这类事。

[28] This hardship was the more severe for him because the Moon regarded Mars.

[28] 这场艰难对他更重，因为月亮照见火星。

[29] Had the Sun not come between his ray and the Ascendant and broken the power of Mars, it would have been worse.

[29] 若不是太阳挡在火星的光线与上升之间、折了火星的力量，情形会更坏。

[30] Then the division of the Ascendant comes to the term of Venus, up to eleven degrees.

[30] 接着上升的分配进入金星的界，到十一度为止。

[31] Because Mars went out and Venus came in, you should mix the powers of both together.

[31] 因为火星出、金星入，你要把两者的力量合参。

[32] Therefore the native was granted love from his parents, because both of them were from a good place; and yet pain befell him.

[32] 所以此人得到父母的疼爱，因为两者都来自好位置；但他仍遭病痛。

[33] Then, up to nineteen degrees, is the division of Mercury, and at that time he increases in knowledge, culture, and the like.

[33] 接着到十九度是水星的分配，这时他在学问、教养之类上有长进。

[34] Then, at his puberty, the division reached Jupiter, and it signified praise on account of his culture, good in speech, and ways of endearing himself to people.

[34] 接着到他成年时，分配到达木星，主他因教养受称赞、言谈好、能讨人喜欢。

[35] For although Jupiter was retrograde and did not regard the Moon and the Ascendant, this did not diminish him [text uncertain]; for whenever the planets are like this, their power is weakened and their gift is muddied.

[35] 虽然木星逆行、不照见月亮与上升，这并没有减损他〔原文疑有讹误〕；因为行星处于这种情形时，力量就减弱，所赐也就浑浊。

[36] Had Jupiter been in a better place than this, he would have increased his good.

[36] 若木星的位置比这更好，就会给他增添更多好处。

[37] Then the division reached Saturn, and Venus cast her ray by square to 27 degrees of Scorpio, so that Saturn and Venus together governed this division.

[37] 接着分配到达土星，金星以四分把光线投到天蝎二十七度，于是土星与金星共同掌管这一段分配。

[38] Saturn signified slowness in his work, illness, distance from his land, grief, delay, and marriage; and this was the more severe because Mars was overcoming Saturn.

[38] 土星主做事迟滞、生病、远离故土、忧伤、耽搁与婚姻；而这更重，因为火星压在土星之上。

[39] Had Jupiter not regarded Saturn, it would have been worse.

[39] 若不是木星照见土星，情形会更坏。

[40] Because of the place of Saturn his mother died at that time, and he acquired goods, for Saturn signifies these; and he married a woman with a dowry, and a child was born to him who lived a little while and died in the third year; his joy from women and children was from Venus, and his weeping and the death of his child from Saturn.

[40] 因为土星的位置，他母亲在那时去世，他也置办了家产，因为土星主这些；他出聘礼娶了一个女人，生了一个孩子，孩子只活了不久，在第三年夭折；他从妻儿得来的欢喜出自金星，他的哭泣与孩子的死出自土星。

[41] Then the division reached Sagittarius, the first term, which is the house of Jupiter and his term.

[41] 接着分配到达射手的第一界，那是木星的庙，也是他的界。

[42] Because this place was both the house and the term of Jupiter alone, and he governed the division alone without any other planet, his power increased.

[42] 因为这个位置既是木星独有的庙又是他的界，他独自掌管分配、没有别的星参与，他的力量就增强了。

[43] It signified for the native leadership and honour in the assemblies of men, and his elevation among them.

[43] 这主此人在众人聚集之处有领导地位、受尊重，在人群中地位高升。

[44] Because Saturn was in the twelfth degree, it signified the last day of his life; and he lived forty-eight nights after the twelfth degree, because Saturn was at the beginning of the degree.

[44] 因为土星在第十二度，主他生命的最后一天；他在过了第十二度之后又活了四十八夜，因为土星在那一度之初。

[45] If you want to know how each planet increases or diminishes the native, look at the transits of the planets, at who regards the releaser from the right and from the left, at the term of the Ascendant, at the lord of the term of the Ascendant, and at the planets that are in it.

[45] 若想知道每颗行星如何给此人增益或减损，就看行星的行经、谁从右方左方照见释放者、上升的界、上升的界主，以及其中的行星。

[46] Look carefully whether the ray is that of the benefics or of the malefics or mixed; for if it is the ray of the malefics without the benefics, it is bad.

[46] 要仔细看光线是吉星的、凶星的还是混合的；因为若是凶星的光线而没有吉星，就不好。

[47] Look at who casts the ray, by aspect or by being with it, and in how many degrees it ends, in the clime in which you are, from the rising times to the division; for the time is given by each of the planets in the order of the terms, according to the rising times of one's own clime.

[47] 要看谁以相位或同宫投射光线，并在你所在的纬度带里，按上升时间算出到分配之处要几度；因为年数是由各星依界的次序、按本地纬度带的上升时间给出的。

[48] Look at that planet which casts its ray to the planet that regards it or is with it, and at the lord of the division; mix them all according to their affliction and fortune, their power in their places, the regard of the planets to them, their portions, terms, and houses, and judge according to what you find.

[48] 要看那颗把光线投向照见它或与它同宫之星的行星，以及分配之主；按它们的受克与吉利、在各自位置上的力量、行星对它们的照见、它们的尊贵、界与庙，把它们全都合参，照你所见来判断。

The third book of Dorotheus is complete. Praise be to God alone, with the praise that He deserves and merits.

多罗修斯第三卷完。赞颂唯归真主，那是祂应得、当受的赞颂。
