卷一·第八章　生男生女的时辰与十二分部

VIII. On Knowing the Hours of Natives, Male and Female.

第八章　论识别男婴、女婴的出生时辰。

[1] Know the hours of males and of females: if the Moon is in a masculine dodecatemory, the child is male.

[1] 要识别男婴与女婴的时辰：若月亮在阳性的十二分部，所生是男。

[2] If the Sun, the Ascendant, and the Moon are in masculine signs, then even if the hour of birth is an even hour, males are born in it.

[2] 若太阳、上升与月亮都在阳性星座，即使出生的时辰是偶数时，这时生的也是男婴。

[3] If the Sun is in the Ascendant in a masculine sign and the hour is even, males are born in it.

[3] 若太阳在上升、在阳性星座，时辰是偶数时，这时生的是男婴。

[4] If the Ascendant is a bicorporeal sign that is masculine and there is a masculine planet in it, then even if the hour of birth is even, males are born in it.

[4] 若上升是双体星座而属阳性，其中又有阳性行星，即使出生时辰是偶数时，这时生的也是男婴。

[5] If you find a masculine planet in the Ascendant and another masculine planet in the seventh sign, and the hour is even, males are born in it.

[5] 若见一颗阳性行星在上升，另一颗阳性行星在第七个星座，时辰是偶数时，这时生的是男婴。

[6] If the Moon is in a masculine sign and the Sun also in a masculine sign, whatever the Ascendant may be, and the lord of the Ascendant is Jupiter, males are likewise born.

[6] 若月亮在阳性星座，太阳也在阳性星座，不论上升是什么，只要上升之主是木星，同样生男婴。

[7] Reckon the dodecatemories in this way: in a masculine sign, two and a half degrees are masculine and two and a half feminine; in a feminine sign, two and a half degrees are feminine and two and a half masculine.

[7] 十二分部这样算：在阳性星座，二又二分之一度属阳、二又二分之一度属阴；在阴性星座，二又二分之一度属阴、二又二分之一度属阳。

For the dodecatemory, multiply the degrees by twelve and give thirty degrees to each sign, starting from the same sign; the sign at which the count ends is the dodecatemory.

求十二分部，要把度数乘以十二，每个星座给三十度，从本星座起数；数到哪个星座为止，那里就是十二分部。
