卷二·第十四至十九章 八宫与四角；十二宫的次序与权能
先概略讲八宫，再讲四角的求法、四个次等宫与四个闲置宫、各宫先后，最后逐一说明十二宫所主与它和上升点的关系。
XIV. On the Eight Places.
[1] Now let our attention be turned to the exposition of the angles and of all the places; for once all these things have been carefully worked out by us, we must find the individual matters of a man's life, among which the whole substance of human life is divided; but for the present, platically. For a little later, when we have come to the books of effects, we shall show partilely the method by which the individual places can be gathered through hidden inquiries; for the one being instructed ought first to be instructed platically, so that, once settled and trained, he may with greater confidence attain the more hidden matters of the nativity.
[2] For when the place itself has been found partilely, it must be considered what it is like, in what sign it is and in whose terms, and which planets bear testimony to it and to what extent. This too must above all be considered: where the lord of that place, that is, of the sign, is placed, in what sort of sign or in what sort of terms, a matter that must be investigated most carefully; and whether it is adorned by the testimonies of the benefic planets or battered by the attack of the malefics. Now let us return to the platic definition of the places, so that in this way we may be able to explain the order of the angles and of the other places.
[3] Platically, the place of life is in the sign in which the Ascendant is placed; that of hope or money is in the second sign from the Ascendant, that of brothers in the third, of parents in the fourth, of children in the fifth, of health in the sixth, of the spouse in the seventh, of death in the eighth. Beginning all of these from the Ascendant, we have marked them by this definition of names: life, hope, brothers, parents, children, health, spouse, death.
[4] But, as we said above, let it suffice to have said these things platically, to shape the beginnings of the learner; later we shall take care to explain how far these places are shown by a precise definition by degrees. You must certainly know this: what we say about the nativities of men works in the same way in the nativities of women too, knowing that the star of Venus shows the wife and that of Mars the husband.

XIV. On the Eight Places.
第十四章 论八个宫位
[1] Now let our attention be turned to the exposition of the angles and of all the places; for once all these things have been carefully worked out by us, we must find the individual matters of a man's life, among which the whole substance of human life is divided; but for the present, platically. For a little later, when we have come to the books of effects, we shall show partilely the method by which the individual places can be gathered through hidden inquiries; for the one being instructed ought first to be instructed platically, so that, once settled and trained, he may with greater confidence attain the more hidden matters of the nativity.
〔一〕现在让我们把注意力转到四角与一切宫位的讲解上；因为这一切由我们仔细求出之后，我们就必须找出人生的各项事务，人生的全部实质就分在这些事务之中；不过暂且是概略地。因为稍后我们到了论效验的各卷时，会精确到度地说明凭隐秘的探究求出各个宫位的方法；因为受教的人首先应当概略地受教，好在安顿下来、受过训练之后，更有把握地达到本命中更隐秘的事。
[2] For when the place itself has been found partilely, it must be considered what it is like, in what sign it is and in whose terms, and which planets bear testimony to it and to what extent. This too must above all be considered: where the lord of that place, that is, of the sign, is placed, in what sort of sign or in what sort of terms, a matter that must be investigated most carefully; and whether it is adorned by the testimonies of the benefic planets or battered by the attack of the malefics. Now let us return to the platic definition of the places, so that in this way we may be able to explain the order of the angles and of the other places.
〔二〕因为宫位本身被精确到度地找到之后，必须考察它是怎样的：在什么星座，在谁的界里，哪些行星为它作见证、见证到什么程度。尤其还必须考察这一点：那个宫位——也就是那个星座——的主落在哪里，在什么样的星座或什么样的界里，这件事必须极仔细地探究；以及它是被吉星的见证所装点，还是被凶星的攻击所打击。现在让我们回到宫位的概略定义，好用这种方式说明四角与其他宫位的次序。
[3] Platically, the place of life is in the sign in which the Ascendant is placed; that of hope or money is in the second sign from the Ascendant, that of brothers in the third, of parents in the fourth, of children in the fifth, of health in the sixth, of the spouse in the seventh, of death in the eighth. Beginning all of these from the Ascendant, we have marked them by this definition of names: life, hope, brothers, parents, children, health, spouse, death.
〔三〕概略地说，生命之宫在上升点所在的星座；希望或钱财之宫在从上升点起的第二个星座，兄弟之宫在第三，父母之宫在第四，子女之宫在第五，健康之宫在第六，配偶之宫在第七，死亡之宫在第八。这一切都从上升点开始，我们以这样的名称定义标出它们：生命、希望、兄弟、父母、子女、健康、配偶、死亡。
[4] But, as we said above, let it suffice to have said these things platically, to shape the beginnings of the learner; later we shall take care to explain how far these places are shown by a precise definition by degrees. You must certainly know this: what we say about the nativities of men works in the same way in the nativities of women too, knowing that the star of Venus shows the wife and that of Mars the husband.
〔四〕但如上所说，这些概略地说到就够了，用来塑造学习者的开端；以后我们会留意说明，这些宫位凭逐度的精确定义显示到什么程度。你当然必须知道这一点：我们关于男人本命所说的，在女人的本命里也同样起作用；要知道金星之星显示妻子，火星之星显示丈夫。

XV. On the Angles of Nativities.
[1] In nativities there are four angles: the Ascendant, the Descendant, the Midheaven, the lower Midheaven; the Greeks usually call these places by these names: anatole, dysis, mesouranema, hypogeion.
[2] The rising is the degree of the Ascendant [probably: ; the setting is the degree placed opposite it] [lacuna] placed, which the Greeks call the diametron dytikon (the setting opposite);
[3] so that you may understand this more easily, count 180 degrees from the degree of the Ascendant through the following signs, and in whatever sign the 181st degree is found, in that sign or degree of the nativity the Descendant is established.
[4] The Midheaven is the 10th sign from the Ascendant, but sometimes the Midheaven is found partilely even in the 11th sign from the Ascendant. So that you may understand this more clearly, count 270 degrees from the degree of the Ascendant through the other signs that follow; and in whatever sign the 271st degree is found, that degree has been allotted the Midheaven, which the Greeks call mesouranema.
[5] The lower Midheaven, which the Greeks call hypogeion, is established in the fourth place from the Ascendant. So that you may understand this more easily, count 90 degrees in order from the degree of the Ascendant, and where the 91st degree falls, there the place of the lower Midheaven is set.
[6] These are the four angles of nativities and of decrees, which we must always gather by careful method, so that we may explain the whole substance of fate in the truest pronouncements.

XV. On the Angles of Nativities.
第十五章 论本命的四角
[1] In nativities there are four angles: the Ascendant, the Descendant, the Midheaven, the lower Midheaven; the Greeks usually call these places by these names: anatole, dysis, mesouranema, hypogeion.
〔一〕本命里有四角：上升点、下降点、中天、地底中天；希腊人通常用这些名字称呼这些宫位：「阿纳托勒」「狄西斯」「梅苏拉内马」「许波盖翁」。
[2] The rising is the degree of the Ascendant [probably: ; the setting is the degree placed opposite it] [lacuna] placed, which the Greeks call the diametron dytikon (the setting opposite);
〔二〕升起之处是上升点的那一度〔推测：沉没之处是与它正对的那一度〕〔此处原文有缺〕所在，希腊人称之为「狄阿梅特隆·狄提孔」，即对面的沉没；
[3] so that you may understand this more easily, count 180 degrees from the degree of the Ascendant through the following signs, and in whatever sign the 181st degree is found, in that sign or degree of the nativity the Descendant is established.
〔三〕为了让你更容易理解，从上升点的那一度起，经由后随的各星座数一百八十度，第一百八十一度落在哪个星座，下降点就设在本命的那个星座或那一度。
[4] The Midheaven is the 10th sign from the Ascendant, but sometimes the Midheaven is found partilely even in the 11th sign from the Ascendant. So that you may understand this more clearly, count 270 degrees from the degree of the Ascendant through the other signs that follow; and in whatever sign the 271st degree is found, that degree has been allotted the Midheaven, which the Greeks call mesouranema.
〔四〕中天是从上升点起的第十个星座，但有时中天精确到度地也落在从上升点起的第十一个星座。为了让你更清楚地理解，从上升点的那一度起，经由后随的其余星座数二百七十度；第二百七十一度落在哪个星座，那一度就分得了中天，希腊人称之为「梅苏拉内马」。
[5] The lower Midheaven, which the Greeks call hypogeion, is established in the fourth place from the Ascendant. So that you may understand this more easily, count 90 degrees in order from the degree of the Ascendant, and where the 91st degree falls, there the place of the lower Midheaven is set.
〔五〕地底中天，希腊人称之为「许波盖翁」，设在从上升点起的第四个宫位。为了让你更容易理解，从上升点的那一度起依次数九十度，第九十一度落在哪里，地底中天的宫位就设在那里。
[6] These are the four angles of nativities and of decrees, which we must always gather by careful method, so that we may explain the whole substance of fate in the truest pronouncements.
〔六〕这就是本命与判定的四角，我们必须始终用仔细的方法求出它们，好以最真实的断语说明命运的全部实质。

🧭 图解与讲解
第十五章讲四角（angles）：上升点、下降点、中天、地底中天（即天底），希腊名依次是「阿纳托勒」（升起）、「狄西斯」（沉没）、「梅苏拉内马」（天中）、「许波盖翁」（地下）。第二节有缺文，大意是下降点在上升点的对面，希腊人叫「对面的沉没」。
〔图〕四角的求法：从上升点顺黄道数九十度为地底中天，一百八十度为下降，二百七十度为中天（示意）
| 四角 | 希腊名（原文音写） | 原文的求法 | 附注 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 上升点 | 阿纳托勒（升起） | 本命升起的那一度 | 第一角 |
| 地底中天 | 许波盖翁（地下） | 从上升点数九十度，第九十一度 | 第四宫 |
| 下降点 | 狄西斯（沉没） | 从上升点数一百八十度，第一百八十一度 | 又称「对面的沉没」 |
| 中天 | 梅苏拉内马（天中） | 从上升点数二百七十度，第二百七十一度 | 有时落在第十一个星座 |
作者给出的求法是数度（图一）：从上升点那一度起，顺着黄道次序数一百八十度，下一度就是下降点；数九十度，下一度是地底中天；数二百七十度，下一度是中天。这是最简单的等分法，四角两两相隔九十度（表二）。
他又特别说，中天「有时精确到度地落在第十一个星座」。这是因为实际的中天由天球的斜升决定，并不总在上升点之后整整二百七十度；后文第十九章讲第五宫与第十一宫时又提到这一点。作者说四角要「始终用仔细的方法求出」，因为命运的全部实质都要从这里说明。

XVI. On the Four Second Places.
[1] After these four angles, that is, after the Ascendant, the Descendant, the Midheaven, and the lower Midheaven, there are four other places in nativities which hold a following and secondary power, namely the Goddess, the God, Good Fortune, and the Good Daemon, which the Greeks name as follows: thea, theos, agathe tyche, agathos daemon.
[2] The Goddess is the third place from the Ascendant, that is, the third sign from the Ascendant; this place, as we have said, is called thea by the Greeks. The God is the name given to the sign placed opposite this sign, that is, the 9th sign from the Ascendant; this place is called theos by the Greeks. Good Fortune is located in the fifth sign from the Ascendant; this place is called agathe tyche by the Greeks. The Good Daemon is located opposite this sign, that is, in the 11th place from the Ascendant; this place is called agathos daemon by the Greeks.
XVII. On the Idle and Cast-Down Places.
[1] The remaining four places are said to be idle and cast down for this reason, that they are joined in no association with the Ascendant. The first of these remaining four places is the one established in the second sign from the Ascendant, which place is called the Gate of the Underworld or the anaphora; the place opposite this sign, that is, in the 8th sign from the Ascendant, is called the epicataphora. The last are those of Bad Fortune and the Bad Daemon: Bad Fortune is established in the 6th sign from the Ascendant, and the Bad Daemon is placed in the 12th sign from the Ascendant; the Greeks call Bad Fortune kake tyche, and the Bad Daemon, that is, the 12th sign from the Ascendant, the Greeks call kakodaemon.
XVIII. On the Order of All the Places.
[1] Now we must know which of these 12 places go before and which follow, that is, which places are first and which second, so that we may gather everything by careful method.
[2] The Ascendant takes precedence over the Descendant; the Midheaven is placed before the lower Midheaven; the 11th place, that is, the Good Daemon, is preferred to Good Fortune; the 9th place, that is, the God, is placed before the third place, that is, the Goddess; the anaphora, that is, the 2nd place, is placed before the epicataphora, that is, the 8th place from the Ascendant; Bad Fortune, that is, the 6th place from the Ascendant, is placed before the Bad Daemon, that is, the 12th place from the Ascendant.
[3] All these things must be known so that, when we have come to the effects, by mixing and tempering everything we may confirm our pronouncements by a faithful method of truth.

XVI. On the Four Second Places.
第十六章 论四个次等宫位
[1] After these four angles, that is, after the Ascendant, the Descendant, the Midheaven, and the lower Midheaven, there are four other places in nativities which hold a following and secondary power, namely the Goddess, the God, Good Fortune, and the Good Daemon, which the Greeks name as follows: thea, theos, agathe tyche, agathos daemon.
〔一〕在这四角之后，也就是在上升点、下降点、中天、地底中天之后，本命里还有另外四个宫位，它们拥有随后的、次一等的权力，即女神、神、好运、善灵，希腊人这样称呼它们：「忒亚」「忒奥斯」「阿伽忒·堤刻」「阿伽托斯·代蒙」。
[2] The Goddess is the third place from the Ascendant, that is, the third sign from the Ascendant; this place, as we have said, is called thea by the Greeks. The God is the name given to the sign placed opposite this sign, that is, the 9th sign from the Ascendant; this place is called theos by the Greeks. Good Fortune is located in the fifth sign from the Ascendant; this place is called agathe tyche by the Greeks. The Good Daemon is located opposite this sign, that is, in the 11th place from the Ascendant; this place is called agathos daemon by the Greeks.
〔二〕女神是从上升点起的第三个宫位，也就是从上升点起的第三个星座；这个宫位，如我们所说，希腊人称为「忒亚」。神是指与这个星座正相对的那个星座，也就是从上升点起的第九个星座；这个宫位希腊人称为「忒奥斯」。好运位于从上升点起的第五个星座；这个宫位希腊人称为「阿伽忒·堤刻」。善灵位于这个星座的对面，也就是从上升点起的第十一个宫位；这个宫位希腊人称为「阿伽托斯·代蒙」。
XVII. On the Idle and Cast-Down Places.
第十七章 论闲置与低陷的宫位
[1] The remaining four places are said to be idle and cast down for this reason, that they are joined in no association with the Ascendant. The first of these remaining four places is the one established in the second sign from the Ascendant, which place is called the Gate of the Underworld or the anaphora; the place opposite this sign, that is, in the 8th sign from the Ascendant, is called the epicataphora. The last are those of Bad Fortune and the Bad Daemon: Bad Fortune is established in the 6th sign from the Ascendant, and the Bad Daemon is placed in the 12th sign from the Ascendant; the Greeks call Bad Fortune kake tyche, and the Bad Daemon, that is, the 12th sign from the Ascendant, the Greeks call kakodaemon.
〔一〕剩下的四个宫位之所以称为闲置而低陷，是因为它们与上升点没有任何交往相连。这剩下四个宫位中的第一个，是设在从上升点起第二个星座的那个，这个宫位称为冥府之门，或「阿纳福拉」；这个星座对面的宫位，即从上升点起的第八个星座，称为「埃皮卡塔福拉」。最后是厄运与恶灵：厄运设在从上升点起的第六个星座，恶灵位于从上升点起的第十二个星座；希腊人称厄运为「卡刻·堤刻」，称恶灵，也就是从上升点起的第十二个星座，为「卡科代蒙」。
XVIII. On the Order of All the Places.
第十八章 论一切宫位的次序
[1] Now we must know which of these 12 places go before and which follow, that is, which places are first and which second, so that we may gather everything by careful method.
〔一〕现在我们必须知道，这十二个宫位中哪些在前、哪些在后，也就是哪些宫位为第一等、哪些为第二等，好用仔细的方法把一切都掌握住。
[2] The Ascendant takes precedence over the Descendant; the Midheaven is placed before the lower Midheaven; the 11th place, that is, the Good Daemon, is preferred to Good Fortune; the 9th place, that is, the God, is placed before the third place, that is, the Goddess; the anaphora, that is, the 2nd place, is placed before the epicataphora, that is, the 8th place from the Ascendant; Bad Fortune, that is, the 6th place from the Ascendant, is placed before the Bad Daemon, that is, the 12th place from the Ascendant.
〔二〕上升点优先于下降点；中天排在地底中天之前；第十一宫，即善灵，优于好运；第九宫，即神，排在第三宫即女神之前；「阿纳福拉」即第二宫，排在「埃皮卡塔福拉」即从上升点起的第八宫之前；厄运即从上升点起的第六宫，排在恶灵即从上升点起的第十二宫之前。
[3] All these things must be known so that, when we have come to the effects, by mixing and tempering everything we may confirm our pronouncements by a faithful method of truth.
〔三〕这一切都必须知道，好在我们到了论效验之时，把一切混合调和起来，以忠实的真理方法确证我们的断语。

XIX. On the Powers of the Twelve Places.
[1] Now we must explain specifically the significations of the twelve places, beginning from the Ascendant, so that, with everything set out in order, the obscurity of confusion may be illuminated.
[2] The first place is that degree in which the Ascendant is placed. In this place are contained the life and the breath of men; from this place the foundations of the whole nativity are known; this place extends its strength from the degree in which the Ascendant is through the remaining 30 degrees. It is the first angle, and the framework and substance of the whole nativity.
[3] The second place from the Ascendant is established in the second sign and takes its beginning from the 30th degree from the Ascendant and extends its strength through the remaining 30 degrees. From this sign the increases of hope and of possessions are known. It is an idle place, estranged from the Ascendant; therefore it is also called the Gate of the Underworld, because it is joined to the Ascendant by no aspect.
[4] The third place is the one established in the third sign from the Ascendant, which, taking its beginning from the 60th degree from the Ascendant, ends at the 90th. From this place we shall say everything concerning brothers and friends. The name of this place is the Goddess; it is also the place of one who travels abroad. This is the first place joined to the Ascendant by a slender association; for it is seen to aspect the Ascendant by sextile.
[5] The fourth place from the Ascendant, that is, the lower Midheaven, is established in the fourth sign from the Ascendant; its beginning, starting from the 90th degree, reaches as far as the 120th degree. This place shows us parents, patrimony, substance, foundations, movable goods, and whatever pertains to the hidden and stored-up resources of the patrimony. It is an angle of the nativity, and it is called the lower Midheaven because it is placed opposite the Midheaven. This place is joined to the Ascendant by the greatest association, because it aspects the Ascendant by square and is seen by the Ascendant by square.
[6] The fifth place from the Ascendant is established in the 5th sign from the Ascendant, which, taking its beginning from the 121st degree from the Ascendant, extends as far as the 150th degree. From this place the number of children and the quality of their sex are found. It is called Good Fortune because it is the place of Venus. This place too is joined to the Ascendant by the greatest association, and sometimes the degree of the Midheaven is established opposite this sign. It is associated with the Ascendant by the greatest conjunction because it aspects the Ascendant by trine and is seen by the Ascendant by trine.

XIX. On the Powers of the Twelve Places.
第十九章 论十二宫的权能
[1] Now we must explain specifically the significations of the twelve places, beginning from the Ascendant, so that, with everything set out in order, the obscurity of confusion may be illuminated.
〔一〕现在我们必须从上升点开始，逐一说明十二宫的含义，好让一切按次序列出之后，混乱的晦暗得到照亮。
[2] The first place is that degree in which the Ascendant is placed. In this place are contained the life and the breath of men; from this place the foundations of the whole nativity are known; this place extends its strength from the degree in which the Ascendant is through the remaining 30 degrees. It is the first angle, and the framework and substance of the whole nativity.
〔二〕第一宫是上升点所在的那一度。人的生命与气息包含在这个宫位里；从这个宫位认识整个本命的根基；这个宫位从上升点所在的那一度起，经由其余三十度伸展它的力量。它是第一角，是整个本命的构架与实质。
[3] The second place from the Ascendant is established in the second sign and takes its beginning from the 30th degree from the Ascendant and extends its strength through the remaining 30 degrees. From this sign the increases of hope and of possessions are known. It is an idle place, estranged from the Ascendant; therefore it is also called the Gate of the Underworld, because it is joined to the Ascendant by no aspect.
〔三〕从上升点起的第二宫设在第二个星座，从距上升点第三十度开始，经由其余三十度伸展它的力量。从这个星座认识希望与财产的增长。它是一个闲置的宫位，与上升点疏离；所以也称为冥府之门，因为它不以任何相位与上升点相连。
[4] The third place is the one established in the third sign from the Ascendant, which, taking its beginning from the 60th degree from the Ascendant, ends at the 90th. From this place we shall say everything concerning brothers and friends. The name of this place is the Goddess; it is also the place of one who travels abroad. This is the first place joined to the Ascendant by a slender association; for it is seen to aspect the Ascendant by sextile.
〔四〕第三宫是设在从上升点起第三个星座的那个，它从距上升点第六十度开始，到第九十度终止。从这个宫位，我们将说出一切关于兄弟与朋友的事。这个宫位的名字是女神；它也是出外旅居者的宫位。这是第一个以微弱的交往与上升点相连的宫位；因为它被看到以六分照着上升点。
[5] The fourth place from the Ascendant, that is, the lower Midheaven, is established in the fourth sign from the Ascendant; its beginning, starting from the 90th degree, reaches as far as the 120th degree. This place shows us parents, patrimony, substance, foundations, movable goods, and whatever pertains to the hidden and stored-up resources of the patrimony. It is an angle of the nativity, and it is called the lower Midheaven because it is placed opposite the Midheaven. This place is joined to the Ascendant by the greatest association, because it aspects the Ascendant by square and is seen by the Ascendant by square.
〔五〕从上升点起的第四宫，即地底中天，设在从上升点起的第四个星座；它的开端从第九十度起，一直到第一百二十度。这个宫位向我们显示父母、祖产、家财、根基、动产，以及一切属于祖产中隐藏的、储存的资财之事。它是本命的一角，称为地底中天，是因为它位于中天的对面。这个宫位以最大的交往与上升点相连，因为它以四分照着上升点，也被上升点以四分看到。
[6] The fifth place from the Ascendant is established in the 5th sign from the Ascendant, which, taking its beginning from the 121st degree from the Ascendant, extends as far as the 150th degree. From this place the number of children and the quality of their sex are found. It is called Good Fortune because it is the place of Venus. This place too is joined to the Ascendant by the greatest association, and sometimes the degree of the Midheaven is established opposite this sign. It is associated with the Ascendant by the greatest conjunction because it aspects the Ascendant by trine and is seen by the Ascendant by trine.
〔六〕从上升点起的第五宫设在从上升点起的第五个星座，它从距上升点第一百二十一度开始，伸展到第一百五十度。从这个宫位求出子女的数目与性别的性质。它称为好运，因为它是金星的宫位。这个宫位也以最大的交往与上升点相连，有时中天之度就设在这个星座的对面。它以最大的会合与上升点交往，因为它以三分照着上升点，也被上升点以三分看到。

第十九章逐一讲十二宫（表一）。这里的宫位按「从上升点起的度数」划分，每宫三十度：第一宫从上升点那一度起三十度，第二宫从第三十度起，以此类推。第一宫包含人的生命与气息，是整个本命的根基、构架与实质。
| 宫 | 度数（从上升点起） | 名称 | 所主（照原文） | 与上升点 | 原文所属 |

| 第一宫 | 0–30 | 上升，第一角 | 生命与气息；本命根基、构架与实质 | 本身 | — |

| 第五宫 | 120–150 | 好运 | 子女的数目与性别 | 三分，最大交往 | 金星 |
每一宫作者都说三件事：它主什么，它叫什么，它与上升点有什么样的「交往」。第二宫主希望与财产，但与上升点不成相位，所以「闲置」，又叫冥府之门。第三宫女神主兄弟朋友与旅居，以六分与上升点相连，作者说这是「微弱的交往」。
第四宫是地底中天，主父母、祖产、家财与一切隐藏储存之资，以四分与上升点相连，作者说这是「最大的交往」。第五宫好运主子女的多少与性别，以三分与上升点相连，也是最大的交往；它被称为好运，因为它是金星的宫位。作者还说，中天之度有时落在第五宫的对面，即第十一宫，这与第十五章「中天有时在第十一个星座」相呼应。

[7] The sixth place is established in the 6th sign from the Ascendant; taking its beginning from the 150th degree from the Ascendant, it extends as far as the 180th. In this sign we shall find the cause of defects and of health. This place is called Bad Fortune because it is the place of Mars. This place too is idle, because it is joined in no association with the Ascendant; but sometimes the malice of the place itself is relieved if a planet located in that place has been joined by a favorable aspect to another planet found in the 10th place from the Ascendant.
[8] The seventh place is established in the seventh sign from the Ascendant; starting from the 180th degree, it extends as far as the 210th and ends there; its beginning is set at the 180th degree. In this place is another angle of the nativity; it is called the Descendant (occasus) by us, and by the Greeks, as we said above, dysis; this angle is placed opposite the angle of the Ascendant. From this place let us inquire into the quality and the extent of marriages. This place too is joined to the Ascendant by a violent association; for it is seen by the Ascendant by opposition.
[9] The eighth place is established in the 8th sign from the Ascendant; starting from the 210th degree from the Ascendant, it extends as far as the 240th degree and ends there. This place is called the epicataphora. It is an idle place, because it too is joined in no association with the Ascendant. From this place the quality of death is found. It is fitting for us to know that no planet rejoices in this place except the Moon alone, and that only in night nativities.
For if in a night nativity the waxing Moon has been found in this place, and Jupiter has aspected it so placed by sextile or trine, without the association or aspect of the malefic planets, while it is placed in its own house or in the house of Venus or in the house of Mercury or in the house of Jupiter, or in the terms of the planets we have named, it decrees the greatest felicities, wealth beyond measure, the magnificent glories of high powers, and the conspicuous ornaments of nobility.
[10] The ninth place is established in the 9th sign from the Ascendant; its measure, starting from the 240th degree, extends as far as the 270th degree. It is the place of the god Sun. In this place we find men's sects; it is the place of religions and of travels abroad. This place too is joined to the Ascendant by the greatest aspect; for it is seen by the Ascendant by trine.
[11] The tenth place is established in the 10th sign from the Ascendant; taking its beginning from the 270th degree, it extends as far as the 300th degree and ends there. This place is the chief one and more exalted in power than all the angles. This place is called by us the Midheaven, by the Greeks mesouranema; for it is placed in the middle part of the whole world. In this place we find life and breath, and also all actions, fatherland, domicile, and the whole manner of living, the arts too, and whatever is conferred on us by the support of the arts; from this place we readily discern the vices of the soul. The power of this place is joined to the Ascendant by [probably: a very strong or forceful] [lacuna] association; for it is seen by the Ascendant by square.
[12] The eleventh place is established in the 11th sign from the Ascendant; this place, starting from the 300th degree, is established as far as the 330th degree. This place is called by us the Good Daemon or the Good Genius, by the Greeks agathos daemon. In this place the Midheaven is frequently found partilely. It is the place of Jupiter, and it is joined to the Ascendant by no small association; for it sees the Ascendant by sextile and is seen by the Ascendant by sextile.
[13] The twelfth place is established in the 12th sign from the Ascendant; this place, starting from the 330th degree, is established as far as the 360th degree. This place is called kakos daemon by the Greeks and the Bad Daemon by us. From this place the quality of enemies and the condition of slaves are shown to us by an easy signification. In this place we also find defects and sicknesses. This too is an idle place, because it is joined in no association with the Ascendant. It is the place of Saturn.
Indeed, in the nativity of both a man and a woman the Sun shows the father, the Moon the mother, Venus the wife, Mars the husband.

This place too is idle, because it is joined in no association with the Ascendant; but sometimes the malice of the place itself is relieved if a planet located in that place has been joined by a favorable aspect to another planet found in the 10th place from the Ascendant.
〔七〕第六宫设在从上升点起的第六个星座；它从距上升点第一百五十度开始，伸展到第一百八十度。在这个星座里我们将找到缺陷与健康的缘由。这个宫位称为厄运，因为它是火星的宫位。这个宫位也是闲置的，因为它与上升点没有任何交往相连；但有时，倘若落在这个宫位的行星，以吉利的相位与另一颗位于从上升点起第十宫的行星相结合，这个宫位本身的恶意就得到减轻。
[8] The seventh place is established in the seventh sign from the Ascendant; starting from the 180th degree, it extends as far as the 210th and ends there; its beginning is set at the 180th degree. In this place is another angle of the nativity; it is called the Descendant (occasus) by us, and by the Greeks, as we said above, dysis; this angle is placed opposite the angle of the Ascendant. From this place let us inquire into the quality and the extent of marriages. This place too is joined to the Ascendant by a violent association; for it is seen by the Ascendant by opposition.
〔八〕第七宫设在从上升点起的第七个星座；它从第一百八十度起，伸展到第二百一十度，在那里终止；它的开端设在第一百八十度。这个宫位里是本命的另一角；我们称之为下降点，希腊人如上所说称之为「狄西斯」；这一角位于上升点之角的对面。让我们从这个宫位探究婚姻的性质与长短。这个宫位也以猛烈的交往与上升点相连；因为它被上升点以对冲看到。
[9] The eighth place is established in the 8th sign from the Ascendant; starting from the 210th degree from the Ascendant, it extends as far as the 240th degree and ends there. This place is called the epicataphora. It is an idle place, because it too is joined in no association with the Ascendant. From this place the quality of death is found. It is fitting for us to know that no planet rejoices in this place except the Moon alone, and that only in night nativities.
〔九〕第八宫设在从上升点起的第八个星座；它从距上升点第二百一十度起，伸展到第二百四十度，在那里终止。这个宫位称为「埃皮卡塔福拉」。它是闲置的宫位，因为它也与上升点没有任何交往相连。从这个宫位求出死亡的性质。我们宜知道，在这个宫位里，除了月亮之外，没有任何行星喜乐，而月亮也只在夜间的本命盘里。
For if in a night nativity the waxing Moon has been found in this place, and Jupiter has aspected it so placed by sextile or trine, without the association or aspect of the malefic planets, while it is placed in its own house or in the house of Venus or in the house of Mercury or in the house of Jupiter, or in the terms of the planets we have named, it decrees the greatest felicities, wealth beyond measure, the magnificent glories of high powers, and the conspicuous ornaments of nobility.
因为倘若在夜间的本命盘里，正盈的月亮被发现在这个宫位，而木星以六分或三分照着如此落位的月亮，没有凶星的交往或相位，月亮又落在自己的庙、或金星的庙、或水星的庙、或木星的庙，或落在我们所说这些行星的界里，它就判定最大的幸福、无可计量的财富、高位权势的辉煌荣耀，以及显赫的门第之饰。
[10] The ninth place is established in the 9th sign from the Ascendant; its measure, starting from the 240th degree, extends as far as the 270th degree. It is the place of the god Sun. In this place we find men's sects; it is the place of religions and of travels abroad. This place too is joined to the Ascendant by the greatest aspect; for it is seen by the Ascendant by trine.
〔十〕第九宫设在从上升点起的第九个星座；它的范围从第二百四十度起，伸展到第二百七十度。它是太阳神的宫位。在这个宫位里我们找到人的宗派；它是宗教与出外旅居的宫位。这个宫位也以最大的相位与上升点相连；因为它被上升点以三分看到。
[11] The tenth place is established in the 10th sign from the Ascendant; taking its beginning from the 270th degree, it extends as far as the 300th degree and ends there. This place is the chief one and more exalted in power than all the angles. This place is called by us the Midheaven, by the Greeks mesouranema; for it is placed in the middle part of the whole world. In this place we find life and breath, and also all actions, fatherland, domicile, and the whole manner of living, the arts too, and whatever is conferred on us by the support of the arts; from this place we readily discern the vices of the soul. The power of this place is joined to the Ascendant by [probably: a very strong or forceful] [lacuna] association; for it is seen by the Ascendant by square.
〔十一〕第十宫设在从上升点起的第十个星座；它从第二百七十度开始，伸展到第三百度，在那里终止。这个宫位是首要的，权力比所有的角都更崇高。我们称这个宫位为中天，希腊人称之为「梅苏拉内马」；因为它位于整个世界的中部。在这个宫位里我们找到生命与气息，还有一切作为、祖国、居所和整个生活方式，还有技艺，以及凭技艺之助赐给我们的一切；从这个宫位我们容易看出灵魂的恶习。这个宫位的权力以〔推测：极强或猛烈的〕〔此处原文有缺〕交往与上升点相连；因为它被上升点以四分看到。
[12] The eleventh place is established in the 11th sign from the Ascendant; this place, starting from the 300th degree, is established as far as the 330th degree. This place is called by us the Good Daemon or the Good Genius, by the Greeks agathos daemon. In this place the Midheaven is frequently found partilely. It is the place of Jupiter, and it is joined to the Ascendant by no small association; for it sees the Ascendant by sextile and is seen by the Ascendant by sextile.
〔十二〕第十一宫设在从上升点起的第十一个星座；这个宫位从第三百度起，设到第三百三十度。我们称这个宫位为善灵或善神，希腊人称之为「阿伽托斯·代蒙」。中天常常精确到度地落在这个宫位。它是木星的宫位，以不小的交往与上升点相连；因为它以六分看着上升点，也被上升点以六分看到。
[13] The twelfth place is established in the 12th sign from the Ascendant; this place, starting from the 330th degree, is established as far as the 360th degree. This place is called kakos daemon by the Greeks and the Bad Daemon by us. From this place the quality of enemies and the condition of slaves are shown to us by an easy signification. In this place we also find defects and sicknesses. This too is an idle place, because it is joined in no association with the Ascendant. It is the place of Saturn.
〔十三〕第十二宫设在从上升点起的第十二个星座；这个宫位从第三百三十度起，设到第三百六十度。希腊人称这个宫位为「卡科斯·代蒙」，我们称之为恶灵。从这个宫位，以容易的指示向我们显示仇敌的性质与奴仆的境况。在这个宫位里我们也找到缺陷与疾病。这也是一个闲置的宫位，因为它与上升点没有任何交往相连。它是土星的宫位。
Indeed, in the nativity of both a man and a woman the Sun shows the father, the Moon the mother, Venus the wife, Mars the husband.
其实，无论在男人还是女人的本命里，太阳显示父亲，月亮显示母亲，金星显示妻子，火星显示丈夫。
