第十六章　论婚姻与婚配。

[1] Look at the condition of the man from the Sun, the Ascendant, and the planet from which the Moon is separating; at the condition of the woman from Venus, the seventh sign, and the place to which the Moon applies; from the house of authority at the contentment or anger, the good or evil, that will come between the man and the woman; and from the house of the fathers at the outcome of that matter and at the dowry or whatever else he brings to her.

[1] 男方的状况看太阳、上升，以及月亮正在离开的那颗星；女方的状况看金星、第七宫，以及月亮入相位之处；从权位宫看男女之间会有满意还是怨怒、好事还是坏事；从父母宫看这件事的结局，以及他给她的聘礼或别的东西。

The husband you may judge from the Sun and from the rising mark of the Hour, and the bride from the sign of longing that is setting and from fair-haired Cythereia; from the Midheaven, which stands far from the earth, what life the two will lead together; and the middle of the earth will tell you of the dowry.

丈夫，你可从太阳与上升的时辰标记来判断；新娘，从那正在下沉、含着思慕的星座与秀发的库忒瑞亚来判断；从远离大地的中天，看两人将一同过怎样的日子；至于嫁妆，地的中央会告诉你。

[2] If, when he begins it, you find the Sun afflicted, and Venus with Jupiter or Jupiter regarding her, this signifies that the marriage will be of no profit to the man, or that some harm will befall him, while gladness, joy, and benefit befall the woman.

[2] 若在起事时见太阳受克，而金星与木星同在或木星照见她，表示这门婚事对男方无益，或会有灾殃落在他身上，女方却得到欢喜、快乐与好处。

For one who looks to see which signs are good and which evil: the Sun harmed by the base ones, and Aphrogenes with Zeus rushing upon her or present beside her, bring grief to the man, but great joy to the woman.

你要看哪些是吉兆、哪些是凶兆：太阳被卑劣的星所伤，而阿佛洛吉尼斯有宙斯扑向她或伴在她身旁，这给男人带来苦痛，却给女人带来大喜。

[3] If Venus is with Mars or with Saturn, or they regard Venus, this signifies that hardship, toil, and disgrace will come upon the woman, and that before long there will be separation and estrangement between them: when the bane of mortals or chill Phainon sees the Paphian, this will be a deadly sign for the wife, and shame, and they do not stay together long.

[3] 若金星与火星或土星同在，或它们照见金星，表示女方会遭受艰难、劳苦与羞辱，两人不久就会分离、断绝：当那人类之祸或寒冷的法农看见帕福斯女神，这对妻子是致命之兆，是羞耻，他们也不会长久相守。

[4] If, when you look into the matter of marriage, you find the Moon afflicted, evil and trial will come upon both of them, the man and the woman, from that marriage: if the Moon too is about a hateful sign, this inception would be ill-omened for both.

[4] 若你看婚事时见月亮受克，这门婚事会给男女双方都带来祸患与考验：若月亮也处在可憎的征象中，这次起事对两人都不吉。

[5] If Mercury is with the benefics, or they regard him, this signifies that a child will be born to them soon: good planets that look upon the swift son of Maia hold a true token of children.

[5] 若水星与吉星同在，或吉星照见他，表示他们很快就会生孩子：吉星看着迈亚的捷足之子，就握有子嗣的真实征兆。

[6] If the Moon and Venus are in a tropical sign, it is not suitable for marriage, for it signifies that the woman will be wanton and adulterous, going secretly to the beds of other men.

[6] 若月亮与金星在回归星座，就不宜婚嫁，因为这表示那女人放荡淫乱，暗中出入别人的床榻。

In a tropical sign let neither Cypris be at that time, nor the Moon: Cypris makes the wife most lustful and foul and will make her take pleasure in stolen beds, and the Moon would not grant a lasting union.

在回归星座里，那时既不要有库普里斯，也不要有月亮：库普里斯使妻子极淫而污秽，使她喜好偷来的床榻；月亮则不会赐予长久的婚床。

[7] If the Moon is in a tropical sign, that marriage is suitable neither for the man nor for the woman, for there will be neither agreement nor long companionship between them.

[7] 若月亮在回归星座，这门婚事对男女都不合适，两人之间既不会和睦，也不会长久相伴。

[8] I shall explain to you the condition of the Moon in the twelve signs.

[8] 我来给你说明月亮在十二星座的情形。

[9] If the marriage takes place while the Moon is in Aries, it is not suitable for marriage: refuse the wedding entirely when she is there, for they would quickly be unyoked.

[9] 若在月亮位于白羊时成婚，这不宜婚嫁：她在那里时，要完全拒绝婚礼，因为他们很快就会分开。

[10] If she is in Taurus, at its beginning and at its end, that is, in its first and third decans, it is not suitable for marriage, for it signifies that the woman will be unfaithful to her husband; if the Moon is in the middle of Taurus, its second decan, it is suitable for marriage.

[10] 若她在金牛的开头和末尾，即第一旬和第三旬，不宜婚嫁，因为这表示女方会对丈夫不忠；若月亮在金牛中段，即第二旬，就宜婚嫁。

[11] If the Moon is in Gemini, in its first half, from the first degree to the fifteenth, it is not suitable, and in its second half it is suitable.

[11] 若月亮在双子前半，即第一度到第十五度，不宜；在后半就宜。

[12] Leave marriage alone while the Moon is in Cancer, for the whole of it is unfavourable.

[12] 月亮在巨蟹时不要婚嫁，整个巨蟹都不吉。

[13] If the Moon is in Leo, it is not bad for marriage, but it makes the husband a squanderer, and neither the man nor the woman will spare the other's property, but each will waste and ruin it and treat it as the property of strangers.

[13] 若月亮在狮子，婚嫁不算坏，但会使丈夫挥霍浪费，男女双方谁也不爱惜对方的财产，都会耗费、糟蹋，当作外人的财物看待。

[14] If the Moon is in Virgo, it is suitable for marrying a woman who has been married before, but not a virgin.

[14] 若月亮在处女，宜娶再嫁之妇，不宜娶处女。

[15] If the Moon is in Libra, it is not suitable for marriage, but for asking a woman's hand and for betrothal it is good.

[15] 若月亮在天秤，不宜成婚，但提亲、订婚是好的。

[16] If the Moon is in the first degrees of Scorpio, its first part, it is suitable; it is not suitable at the end of the sign, for their companionship will not last long.

[16] 若月亮在天蝎的头几度，即其前段，就宜；在这个星座的末段就不宜，因为两人相伴不会长久。

[17] If the Moon is in Sagittarius, it signifies many kinds of things and is good for some of them; but one must be on guard because of the fewness of children, and it is better to put off that marriage and not begin it.

[17] 若月亮在射手，所主之事多种多样，有些事是好的；但因子嗣稀少要提防，最好推迟这门婚事，不要开始。

[18] If the Moon is at the beginning of Capricorn, it is not suitable for marriage, but it is suitable in its middle and at its end.

[18] 若月亮在摩羯开头，不宜婚嫁，在其中段和末段则宜。

In Capricorn too one should be on guard, unless someone wishes to marry for a second or third time, for then it is not to be shunned; the women are found to be vagrant and liars.

在摩羯也要提防，除非有人想第二次或第三次结婚，那就不必避开；这时的女人往往放荡、好说谎。

[19] If the Moon is in Aquarius, it is not suitable for marriage.

[19] 若月亮在水瓶，不宜婚嫁。

[20] If the Moon is in Pisces, it is good to marry, but the woman will be quarrelsome and a babbler, a corrupting influence who never ceases to vex her husband; in other matters it is suitable.

[20] 若月亮在双鱼，婚嫁是好的，但女方好争吵、多嘴，惹是生非，不停地折磨丈夫；在其他事情上是合适的。

[21] In the matter of marriage look at the condition of Venus, for there is no good in a marriage in which Venus is with the malefics or the malefics regard her; rather let her be in the terms or signs of a benefic. She is strongest when Venus is in the house of the benefics and Jupiter regards both Venus and the Moon.

[21] 婚事要看金星的状况，因为金星与凶星同在或被凶星照见的婚事不会好；她最好在吉星的界或星座里。金星最强是在吉星的庙里，而木星同时照见金星与月亮。

[22] The best marriage is when Jupiter overcomes Venus, that is, when Venus is in the square of Jupiter on his left, and Venus is in the tenth sign from the Moon, for then Jupiter is in opposition to the Moon; this signifies that they will be given a good child in that marriage, pleasing and fruitful, especially when one of the benefics is in the prolific signs, for so it brings about conception most quickly; and it is good also in other matters.

[22] 最好的婚事，是木星压制金星——即金星在木星左方的四分位——而金星又在月亮起算的第十宫，这时木星正与月亮对冲；这表示他们在这门婚事里会得到好孩子，婚姻和美多子，尤其有一颗吉星在多子星座时，受孕最快；这在别的事上也好。

[23] If the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus regard one another from trine, it is suitable for marriage; the best is if they are in their triplicities, or in signs of many children and offspring.

[23] 若月亮、木星、金星彼此成三分，就宜婚嫁；最好是它们在各自的三方，或在多子多孙的星座里。

The malefics too, in trine configuration in the prolific signs, when testified to by the benefics, show the begetting of children.

凶星若在多子星座成三分，又有吉星作证，也表示能生养子女。

[24] If Venus is in trine with the malefics, a child may be granted in a marriage made at that time; but that child will be granted when the benefics, in the revolution of the years, reach the place of the malefics in the root, or regard it.

[24] 若金星与凶星成三分，这时成婚也可能得子；但要等到流年回归中吉星到达本命盘里凶星的位置，或照见那里时，才会得子。

[25] In marriage you must also look at the nativities of the man and the woman, for if in both their nativities one of the benefics is in their house of authority, they will obtain a child in the year in which they come together.

[25] 婚事还要看男女双方的命盘：若两人命盘里都有一颗吉星在权位宫，他们在结合的那一年就会得子。

If the Midheaven is adorned both in the nativity and by transit, or if the place of the benefics in the woman's chart falls on the husband's Midheaven, know that the begetting of children will come in that same year, and that their life together will be pleasing and long, especially when the chief places of the nativities, that is, the Moon, the Sun, the Lot, and the Ascendant, are in harmony.

若中天在本命与行运中都受装点，或女方盘中吉星所在之处落在丈夫的中天，要知道就在那一年会生养子女，两人共同的生活和美而长久，尤其当两盘的要害之处——月亮、太阳、福点、上升——彼此和谐时。

[26] If their house of authority is a prolific sign, the woman will conceive on the first day on which she and her husband meet, if God the Exalted wills.

[26] 若他们的权位宫是多子星座，女方在与丈夫初次相会的那一天就会受孕——若至高的真主意欲。

If at the time of the marriage a benefic is in the place at the zenith, being under the beams, it signifies a hidden conception and bearing of children, especially for women whose nativity happens to be so: for when Venus is under the beams with Mars, they lose their virginity in secret, and if Jupiter testifies, those who violated them will be brought to marriage.

若成婚时有吉星在天顶之处而在光束之下，表示受孕与生子隐秘不明，尤其对命盘也如此的女人：因为金星与火星同在光束下时，她们暗中失身；若再有木星作证，侵犯她们的人会被带去成婚。

The same happens again at the time of the inception when Venus is under the setting of the Sun.

在起事时，金星处于太阳之下而隐没时，同样如此。

[27] Since marriage needs agreement and affection, you should look into this chapter, which indicates affection and agreement.

[27] 婚姻需要和睦与情意，所以要看这一节——指示情意与和睦的一节。

[28] If you find a benefic in one and the same place in the nativities of the man and the woman, this signifies the love of each of them for the other.

[28] 若见男女双方命盘里有吉星落在同一个位置，表示两人彼此相爱。

[29] Likewise, if in the nativities of two men or of two women a benefic is in one sign, this signifies that there will be brotherhood, affection, and agreement between them.

[29] 同样，若两个男人或两个女人的命盘里有吉星在同一个星座，表示两人之间会有兄弟情谊、情意与和睦。

[30] Look into the matter of enmity and hatred between the man and the woman, and which of them will rise above the other and overcome him until he becomes obedient to his partner.

[30] 再看男女之间的敌意与憎恶，以及谁会凌驾于对方之上、压服对方，直到对方顺从。

[31] Look for this at the nativity of one of them and at the sign that falls in his house of misery, which is the twelfth from the Ascendant.

[31] 为此要看其中一人的命盘，以及落在他困厄宫——即上升起第十二宫——的那个星座。

[32] Then look at the nativity of the second: if you find his Moon in the sign that is the house of misery for the first, this signifies that the one whose Moon falls in the house of misery of his partner will overcome his partner and rise above him, until his partner becomes obedient to him as a slave is obedient to his master.

[32] 再看第二人的命盘：若见他的月亮落在第一人的困厄宫那个星座，表示月亮落在对方困厄宫的那一方会压服对方、凌驾其上，直到对方像奴仆顺从主人一样顺从他。

If the wife of a husband, or the husband of a wife, has the Moon in the sign of the Bad Daemon, of these two the one who in the other's nativity has the Moon in the twelfth place from the Hour-marker will carry off the mastery, and will be like a master.

若丈夫的妻子、或妻子的丈夫，其月亮落在恶灵宫的星座，那么两人之中，谁的月亮落在对方命盘上升起第十二位，谁就占上风，像主人一样。

[33] The best marriage is when its beginning is at an hour in which the Ascendant is one of the signs that I have described as suitable for marriage when the Moon is in them, and no malefic is in the Ascendant or regards it.

[33] 最好的婚事，是在上升为我所说月亮在其中宜于婚嫁的那些星座之一、而且没有凶星在上升或照见上升的时刻开始。

[34] If the marriage is at an hour when Venus is in a masculine sign and Jupiter in a feminine sign, this signifies that the marriage is better for the man than for the woman. [35] If it is contrary to this, judge the contrary: that is, if Venus is in a feminine sign and Jupiter in a masculine sign, that marriage is better for the woman than for the man.

[34] 若在金星位于阳性星座、木星位于阴性星座的时刻成婚，表示这门婚事对男方比对女方好。[35] 若相反，判断也相反：即金星在阴性星座、木星在阳性星座，这门婚事对女方比对男方好。

[36] This is strongest when the Moon is increasing in light and in reckoning.

[36] 月亮光与推算值都在增长时，这一点最有力。

[37] If at the marriage one of the malefics is with the Moon or in the Ascendant, they will not agree on anything nor make peace, and estrangement and discord will enter between them.

[37] 若成婚时有凶星与月亮同在或在上升，两人在任何事上都意见不合、不能和解，彼此会疏远、争吵。

Above all, the full moon is grievous for one who marries.

最要紧的是，满月对成婚的人是痛苦的。

[38] If the Moon in the woman's nativity is in the sign opposite to her partner's Moon, estrangement and discord will enter between them, and they will not make peace nor agree on anything, as when the Moon of one of them is in Aries and the Moon of the other in Libra; for they are causes of dissension.

[38] 若女方命盘里的月亮在与对方月亮相对的星座，两人之间会疏远、争吵，不能和解，也不能在任何事上一致，例如一人的月亮在白羊、另一人的月亮在天秤；因为它们是不和的根源。

[39] If it is an opposition, it signifies enmity.

[39] 若是对冲，就主敌意。

[40] If the Moon in both their nativities is above the earth, this signifies that they will come together after separation, and reconciliation and affection will enter between them, so that they make peace.

[40] 若两人命盘里的月亮都在地平之上，表示他们分离后会重新团聚，彼此和解、生出情意，言归于好。

Yet in their quarrels the one who has the Moon above the earth will prevail.

但在争执中，月亮在地平之上的那一方会占上风。
