卷五·第九章　买卖

IX. Chapter: On Buying and Selling.

第九章　论买卖。

[1] If you want to sell or buy something, look at the position of the Moon: the Moon signifies the merchandise that is sold or bought, the planet to which the Moon applies signifies the buyer and the price, and the planet from which the Moon separates signifies the seller.

[1] 若你想卖或买什么，就看月亮的位置：月亮指所买卖的货物，月亮入相位的那颗星指买方与价钱，月亮离相位的那颗星指卖方。

[2] Then look at the Moon and at the planet from which the Moon separates or to which she applies.

[2] 再看月亮，以及月亮离开或入相位的那颗星。

[3] If you find the malefics with the Moon, or with the planet from which the Moon separates or to which she applies, or if the malefics regard it, this signifies that harm or hardship will enter into the matter attributed to the Moon or to that planet.

[3] 若见凶星与月亮同在，或与月亮离开、入相位的那颗星同在，或凶星照见它，表示归于月亮或那颗星的那一方会遭遇损害或艰难。

[4] If the benefics fall in some of those positions, gladness, joy, and the success of his need enter for the one whose part is attributed to that planet or to the Moon, by God's leave.

[4] 若吉星落在这些位置中的某处，归于那颗星或月亮的那一方就有欢喜、快乐、所求得遂——凭真主的允许。

If the Moon is carried away from a malefic, the seller will be harmed, or he is not honest; if she is carried from a benefic to a benefic, it will be to the advantage of both seller and buyer.

若月亮从凶星离开，卖方会受损，或卖方不老实；若她从吉星移向吉星，对买卖双方都有利。

[5] I shall also explain this chapter to you from the four angles and interpret it for you.

[5] 我还要从四个角来给你说明这一章，并加以解释。

[6] The Ascendant signifies the one who buys, the seventh the one who sells, the tenth signifies the price, and the house of the fathers signifies the merchandise that is sold or bought.

[6] 上升指买方，第七宫指卖方，第十宫指价钱，父母宫指所买卖的货物。

[7] Look at these places in the way I described to you concerning the Moon in the first part of the chapter: wherever the benefics and the malefics fall, or regard, harm or benefit enters into the matter attributed to that angle.

[7] 照我在本章前面讲月亮的方法来看这些位置：吉星、凶星落在哪里或照见哪里，归于那个角的那一方就有损或有益。
