卷二·第二十三至二十六章　相位之理、星座配人体、诸星年数与时主

XXIII. What Principle Joins Trines, Squares, Oppositions, and Sextiles to the Ascendant.

第二十三章　什么道理把三分、四分、对冲、六分与上升点相连

[1] Now we must briefly explain why we have said that some places are joined to the Ascendant by an association of aspect, while others are turned away from the Ascendant and in a way estranged, which we have not undeservedly called idle; for we must explain everything, so that this book of instruction may be fortified with the full substance of mathesis.

〔一〕现在我们必须简短说明：为什么我们说有些宫位以相位的交往与上升点相连，另一些则背离上升点、在某种意义上与它疏离，我们称后者为闲置并非不当；因为我们必须说明一切，好让这本入门书以数学的全部实质武装起来。

[2] All the signs are joined to one another, bound each to each; learn briefly why we have said this. We have said that all the signs have 30 degrees. If, then, you add these 30 degrees together twelve times into one number, you arrive at 360 degrees, which are divided among all the twelve bodies of the signs. Hence the nearness of conjunction associates all the signs with one another; and whichever of them, when the number of their degrees is joined into a whole, make up 360 degrees are joined to one another on an equal principle of association.

〔二〕一切星座都彼此相连，一个与一个相系；简短地学一学我们为什么这样说。我们说过，一切星座都有三十度。那么，倘若你把这三十度相加十二次合成一个数，就得到三百六十度，它们分在全部十二个星座的形体之中。因此，会合的邻近使一切星座彼此交往；凡是把它们的度数合成整数时能凑成三百六十度的，就以平等的交往之道彼此相连。

[3] We have said that the sextile is joined to the Ascendant and to the other places by an association of aspect. What the sextile is we have also said before, and now we set it out partilely: whatever degree is the 60th from the degree of the Ascendant, that shows the side of the sextile. If, then, you combine 60 six times so that the whole number of 360 degrees is filled up, it is joined by an equal association.

〔三〕我们说过，六分以相位的交往与上升点及其他宫位相连。六分是什么，我们以前也说过，现在精确到度地讲明：从上升点那一度起的第六十度，就显示出六分之边。那么，倘若你把六十合六次，使三百六十度的整数得以填满，它就以平等的交往相连。

[4] We have said that the trine, that is, the 5th place from the Ascendant and from the other places, whether it is the right trine or the left, is joined to the Ascendant or to the others by the greatest association; let us briefly explain on what principle this too comes about. Setting out from the first degree of the Ascendant, we establish this place at the 120th degree. If, then, we triple 120 degrees, we complete the whole number of 360 degrees; on this principle of conjunction this place is joined to the Ascendant, and all the trines are joined to one another on this principle of association.

〔四〕我们说过，三分，即从上升点及从其他宫位起的第五宫，无论是右三分还是左三分，都以最大的交往与上升点或其他宫位相连；让我们简短说明这又是按什么道理成立的。从上升点的第一度出发，我们把这个宫位设在第一百二十度。那么，倘若我们把一百二十度乘以三，就补足了三百六十度的整数；这个宫位就按这个会合之理与上升点相连，一切三分也都按这个交往之理彼此相连。

[5] We have also said that the square is joined to the Ascendant by a most powerful association of aspect; I shall briefly show the principle of this conjunction too. Setting out from the degree of the Ascendant, we establish this place at the 90th degree; and so, by quadrupling 90 degrees, we complete the whole number of 360 degrees. See how fittingly the square is the side of the sign: because the number of 90 degrees, quadrupled, completes the whole substance of 360 degrees, it has therefore received the name of square. This is the principle in all squares.

〔五〕我们也说过，四分以极有力的相位交往与上升点相连；我也要简短说明这种会合的道理。从上升点那一度出发，我们把这个宫位设在第九十度；于是，把九十度乘以四，我们就补足了三百六十度的整数。看四分作为星座之边是多么恰当：因为九十度之数乘以四，补足了三百六十度的全部实质，所以它得了「四分」之名。一切四分的道理都是这样。

[6] We have also said that oppositions are joined to the Ascendant by an association of aspect; I shall explain the principle of this conjunction too. Setting out from the first degree of the Ascendant, we establish this place at the 180th degree; if, then, we double 180 degrees, we make the whole number of 360 degrees. Hence, because two whole numbers, that is, 180 joined twice, render the whole substance of 360 degrees, these places are joined to one another on the greatest principle of association. This is the principle in all oppositions.

〔六〕我们也说过，对冲以相位的交往与上升点相连；我也要说明这种会合的道理。从上升点的第一度出发，我们把这个宫位设在第一百八十度；那么，倘若我们把一百八十度加倍，就造成三百六十度的整数。因此，因为两个整数，即一百八十合两次，交出三百六十度的全部实质，这些宫位便以最大的交往之理彼此相连。一切对冲的道理都是这样。

[7] But those places that are so situated that their degrees, by no doubling, tripling, or quadrupling, make up the whole number of 360 degrees are joined on no principle of association either with the Ascendant or with any other sign. And therefore whatever sign is found outside this number is called idle and unseeing.

〔七〕但那些宫位，若位置使得它们的度数无论加倍、乘三或乘四，都凑不成三百六十度的整数，就不按任何交往之理与上升点或任何别的星座相连。因此，凡在这个数之外被找到的星座，都称为闲置而不见。

XXIV. To Which Parts of the Body the Signs Are Assigned.

第二十四章　星座分配给身体的哪些部位

[1] We must explain which parts of the human body the twelve signs hold; for this too is of the very greatest use for effects, especially when you wish to find the place of health or of defect. A man's head is in the sign of Aries, the neck in Taurus, the shoulders in Gemini, the heart in Cancer, the chest and stomach in Leo, the belly in Virgo, the kidneys and vertebrae in Libra, the genitals in Scorpio, the thighs in Sagittarius, the knees in Capricorn, the shins in Aquarius, the feet in Pisces. Thus all the limbs of a man are divided among these signs.

〔一〕我们必须说明十二星座掌管人体的哪些部位；因为这对效验也极有用处，尤其当你想找出健康或缺陷之宫时。人的头在白羊座，颈在金牛，肩在双子，心在巨蟹，胸与胃在狮子，腹在处女，肾与脊椎在天秤，阴部在天蝎，股在射手，膝在摩羯，胫在水瓶，足在双鱼。人的一切肢体就这样分在这些星座之中。

XXV. Which of the Gods Decrees How Many Years.

第二十五章　哪位神判定多少年

[1] Now we must explain how many hours, days, months, and years each planet decrees: more when well placed, fewer when badly placed.

〔一〕现在我们必须说明，每颗行星判定多少时辰、日、月、年：落位良好时多，落位不佳时少。

[2] When you have carefully examined the giver of life, that is, the lord of the nativity, and seen in what place it is placed, in what sort of sign and in what sort of degrees; and when you have likewise looked into the lord of the very sign in which the giver of life is placed, in what place, in what sign, and in what degrees it is placed; and how the giver of life and the benefic planets aspect the Sun and the Moon, you will easily be able to define the substance of the whole life. For if the giver of life itself is placed in a good place, in a good sign, and in good degrees, the full number of years is decreed, especially if Jupiter in a day nativity, or Venus in a night one, supports the giver of life with a favorable aspect.

〔二〕当你仔细考察了赐命星，即本命的主，看清它落在什么宫位、什么样的星座、什么样的度数；又同样察看了赐命星所在那个星座本身的主，它落在什么宫位、什么星座、什么度数；还有赐命星与吉星怎样照着太阳和月亮，你就容易界定整个一生的实质。因为倘若赐命星本身落在好的宫位、好的星座、好的度数，便判定足数的年寿，尤其是在白天的本命盘里有木星、在夜间的本命盘里有金星，以吉利的相位扶持赐命星时。

[3] If Saturn is the giver of life and has decreed the full number of years, it decrees 57 years; but if it has decreed badly, it decrees 30 years, or 30 months and 12 hours.

〔三〕倘若土星是赐命星而判定了足数的年寿，它判定五十七年；但倘若判定得不好，它判定三十年，或三十个月又十二个时辰。

[4] If Jupiter is the giver of life and has decreed well, it decrees 79 years; if badly, 12 years, or 12 months and 12 days, 12 hours.

〔四〕倘若木星是赐命星而判定得好，它判定七十九年；倘若不好，十二年，或十二个月又十二日、十二个时辰。

[5] If Mars is the giver of life, and has decreed well, it decrees 63 years; if badly, 15 years, or 15 months, 15 days, 12 hours.

〔五〕倘若火星是赐命星，而判定得好，它判定六十三年；倘若不好，十五年，或十五个月、十五日、十二个时辰。

[6] The Sun, if it has decreed well, decrees 120 years; if badly, 18 years; if moderately, 45.

〔六〕太阳若判定得好，判定一百二十年；若不好，十八年；若适中，四十五年。

[7] Venus, if it has decreed well, decrees 84 years; if badly, 8 years, 8 days, 12 hours.

〔七〕金星若判定得好，判定八十四年；若不好，八年、八日、十二个时辰。

[8] Mercury, if it has decreed well, decrees 108 years; if moderately, 79; if badly, 20 years, or 20 months, 20 days, 20 hours.

〔八〕水星若判定得好，判定一百零八年；若适中，七十九年；若不好，二十年，或二十个月、二十日、二十个时辰。

[9] The Moon, if it has decreed well, decrees 84 years; if badly, 25.

〔九〕月亮若判定得好，判定八十四年；若不好，二十五年。

[10] If, then, the lord of life or giver of life, that is, the lord of the nativity, is in its own house or in its exaltation or in its own terms, and the planets of its own condition bear it good testimony, that is, aspect it with a good aspect, and those planets bearing testimony are themselves well placed, a greater number of years is decreed. But they decree a middle span of life if the giver of life is indeed in its own terms or in its own domiciles or in its own rising, but the Ascendant is in Libra.

〔十〕所以，倘若生命之主或赐命星，即本命的主，在自己的庙、或在自己的旺、或在自己的界，而本阵营的行星为它作好的见证，即以好的相位照着它，那些作见证的行星本身又落位良好，就判定较多的年数。但倘若赐命星确实在自己的界、或在自己的庙、或在自己的升起，而上升点却在天秤，它们就判定中年之寿。

XXVI. On the Lord of the Times.

第二十六章　论时主

[1] The Greeks called the lord of the times the chronocrator. In day nativities the Sun receives the beginning of the times and distributes them to the others, in night nativities the Moon; and admit no other method, for this one is approved by all.

〔一〕希腊人称时主为「克罗诺克拉托」。在白天的本命盘里，太阳接受时期的开端，并把时期分给其他行星；在夜间的本命盘里是月亮；不要接受别的方法，因为这一种为所有人所认可。

[2] When, then, the Sun is lord of the times, it holds dominion for ten years and nine months; in the same way the Moon too, when it is lady of the time, will hold it for ten years and nine months. In a day nativity, then, the Sun receives the first decennium; the second goes to the planet found in the second place in the nativity following the course of the signs; the third to the one that comes after the second; and the others in the same way. So that you may understand this more clearly, we teach it by this example.

〔二〕所以，当太阳是时主时，它掌管统辖十年又九个月；同样，月亮做时期的女主时，也将掌管十年又九个月。所以在白天的本命盘里，太阳接受第一个十年期；第二个归于本命里顺着星座行程在第二位被找到的行星；第三个归于在第二颗之后的那颗；其余的也这样。为了让你更清楚地理解，我们用这个例子来教。

[3] If in a day nativity the Sun has been found in Aries, it will be lord of the decennium, and so too in whatever other sign it may be. Whatever planet, then, is in Taurus will be in the second place; the one that comes after Taurus is the third; and so with the rest. In night nativities we shall do the same, beginning from the Moon.

〔三〕倘若在白天的本命盘里太阳被发现在白羊，它就将是十年期之主，在其他任何星座也是一样。那么，凡在金牛的行星就将在第二位；金牛之后的那颗是第三位；其余的也这样。在夜间的本命盘里我们也照样做，从月亮开始。

[4] But whatever planet has been allotted the decennium, although it is lord of the whole time, it nevertheless divides the whole substance of the decennium among all the planets, beginning with itself and afterward handing it on to those placed in order, handing it first, of those placed in order, to whichever planet has been found second in the chart.

〔四〕但任何分得十年期的行星，尽管它是整个时期之主，却仍把十年期的全部实质分给一切行星，从它自己开始，然后交给依次排列的那些行星，在依次排列的行星中，先交给在盘中被发现为第二的那颗行星。
