卷三·第四章　火星落在十二宫

IV. Mars.

第四章　火星

[1] Mars placed partilely in the degrees of the Ascendant in a night nativity and in masculine signs will make soldiers; but if, as a morning star, it is placed partilely in the Ascendant without the aspect of Jupiter, it will make the natives swarthy, taller than others, and wishing to give away more than the substance of their patrimony allows, so that they seem prodigal, but men whose actions are always made public in every way.

〔一〕火星在夜间的本命盘里、在阳性星座精确到度地落在上升点的度数里，会造就军人；但倘若它作为晨星精确到度地落在上升点，而没有木星的相位，就会使本命之人肤色黝黑，比别人高，想送出去的超过他们祖产的实质所允许的，以致显得挥霍无度，但他们的作为总以各种方式公之于众。

[2] But if by night the Ascendant is placed in a domicile of Mars, in a masculine sign of course, and Mars is found in the same sign, that is, in the Ascendant, and Jupiter is with it partilely in the same sign or aspects it with a solid aspect, it will make commanders in war, men to whom an entire army is entrusted, masters of death and life, whose arrival cities or the greatest provinces always dread, fortunate, strong, stern, and men whose anger always breaks out in great fits of indignation. But so placed it does not allow them to love either wife or children with tender affection.

〔二〕但倘若在夜间上升点落在火星的庙里，当然是阳性星座，而火星被发现在同一个星座即上升点，木星又精确到度地与它同在一个星座，或以稳固的相位照着它，就会造就战争的统帅，托付以整支军队的人，掌生杀之权的主人，城市或最大的行省总畏惧他们到来，他们幸运、强悍、严厉，怒气总以极大的愤慨爆发。但这样落位时，它不容他们以温柔的情感爱妻子或子女。

[3] But if it is found partilely in the Ascendant by day, it makes the natives hot-tempered, bold, raging, wanderers in foreign lands, always unstable in everything, men who will by no means be able to complete whatever they have dared, but whatever they have obtained always slips through their hands; and the patrimonies of those who have Mars so are squandered. They also lose the whole substance of their livelihood, and their wives and children as well, nor is anything of the father's substance kept for them, and these things too perish in early life.

〔三〕但倘若它在白天被发现精确到度地在上升点，就使本命之人性情火热、大胆、狂暴，在异乡漂泊，在一切事上总不稳定，凡他们敢做的事，无论如何都不能完成，所得的一切总从他们手中滑走；这样得火星的人，祖产被挥霍。他们还失去全部生计的实质，也失去妻子与子女，父亲的家产也没有一样给他们留下，这些也在早年丧失。

[4] But if by day Jupiter, itself placed in its own domicile, or in its exaltation, or in its own terms, aspects Mars so placed with a trine aspect, or if it is with it partilely, its evils are softened in every respect. And I myself know, as I have found in very many nativities, that many who had Mars placed in the Ascendant, though sent into exile, administered the state well and vigorously.

〔四〕但倘若木星本身落在自己的庙、或自己的旺、或自己的界，在白天以三分的相位照着这样落位的火星，或与它精确到度地同在，它的祸患就在各方面得到缓和。我自己也知道，正如我在极多的本命里所发现的，许多火星落在上升点的人，虽然被流放，却把国家治理得又好又有力。

[5] Mars placed in the second place from the Ascendant, if it is found in this place by day, decrees the greatest evils and great misfortunes, especially if it is placed in a morning rising; for it will make the natives estranged from their parents and from their home and always wandering in foreign lands. But if, with Mars so placed, the waxing Moon is either with it or placed in opposition, or if it joins itself by a square aspect, it will make them slow, disabled, and men who frequently receive wounds from iron; and it will disable them, wounded by cold or by a four-footed beast.

〔五〕火星落在从上升点起的第二宫，倘若它在白天被发现在这个宫位，判定极大的祸患与重大的不幸，尤其是倘若它处在晨升之时；因为它会使本命之人与父母和自己的家疏离，总在异乡漂泊。但倘若火星这样落位时，正盈的月亮或与它同在、或落在对冲，或以四分的相位与它相连，就会使他们迟缓、伤残，常受铁器之伤；它会使他们因寒冷或被四足兽所伤而伤残。

Some it causes to be exposed at birth; others it makes often captives, or dragged from free birth into slavery; and they will always be in agitation of mind and placed in the greatest straits. But if, with Mars so placed, Jupiter joins itself to it by a good aspect, being itself placed either in its own house or in its own terms, they escape from all dangers and are freed or ransomed from captivity and carried back again from slavery to freedom; but at times they will not have the necessities of life.

它使有些人一出生就被遗弃；使另一些人常做俘虏，或从自由人的身份被拖入奴役；他们总在心神动荡之中，处在极大的窘迫里。但倘若火星这样落位时，木星以好的相位与它相连，而木星本身落在自己的庙或自己的界里，他们就逃脱一切危险，从俘虏中获释或被赎回，又从奴役中重新转回自由；但他们有时没有生活必需之物。

[6] But if it is found so by night, it makes soldiers or athletes, but it is also wont to ensnare them easily with a succession of dangers. And they undergo dangers in the same way, if Jupiter and Venus, as we said above, join themselves to it by a good aspect.

〔六〕但倘若它在夜间被发现这样落位，就造就军人或运动员，但也惯于以接连不断的危险轻易地使他们落入圈套。倘若木星和金星如我们上面所说以好的相位与它相连，他们也同样要遭遇危险。

[7] Mars placed in the third place from the Ascendant decrees glory indeed, but with the greatest toil. The one who has Mars so will covet the property of others, will envy everyone, and will have the guilty conscience of some very great crime. But if, with Mars so placed, Jupiter is found in the eleventh place of the nativity or in the seventh, that is, the Descendant, it causes the native, placed in public administrations, to obtain with great toil, but to obtain, the greatest resources of patrimony.

〔七〕火星落在从上升点起的第三宫，判定荣耀，却伴着极大的劳苦。这样得火星的人会觊觎别人的东西，嫉妒所有人，并怀着某种极大罪行的亏心。但倘若火星这样落位时，木星被发现在本命的第十一宫或第七宫即下降点，就使本命之人担任公共职务，以极大的劳苦——但终于得到——极大的祖产资财。

[8] And so placed in the third place from the Ascendant, if it joins itself to Jupiter in the way we said before, it grants the government and dominion of the greatest power and honor, so that all who are joined to the native by family are surpassed by the distinction of his honor. For if, placed in this place, it is in its own house, or in its own degrees, or in its domiciles, or in its exaltation, and Jupiter is joined to it in the way we said before, it will make governors of the river frontiers, generals, vicars, praetorian prefects, and men to whom command is frequently entrusted.

〔八〕这样落在从上升点起的第三宫，倘若它以我们前面所说的方式与木星相连，就赐予极大权力与荣誉的治理和统辖，以致所有与本命之人有亲族关系的人，都被他荣誉的显赫所超越。因为倘若它落在这个宫位，在自己的宫、或自己的度、或自己的庙、或自己的旺，而木星又以我们前面所说的方式与它相连，就会造就河防边区的长官、将领、副官、禁卫军长官，以及常被托付以统兵之权的人。

[9] Mars placed partilely in the fourth place from the Ascendant, that is, in the lower Midheaven, if it is there by night, will make soldiers, men of toil who always dwell in desert regions, or overseers and trainers of wild beasts; at times it will make overthrowers of emperors or of judges according to the quality of the signs, and it will destroy the life and the patrimony of the parents. It will give wounds, widowhood, ruin, and it will give either one son or none; for the one who has it so is always hindered in all his actions.

〔九〕火星精确到度地落在从上升点起的第四宫，即地底中天，倘若它在夜间在那里，会造就军人、劳苦的人、总住在荒凉地区的人，或野兽的看管人和驯兽师；有时按星座的性质，造就推翻皇帝或法官的人，它还会毁掉父母的性命和祖产。它会给予伤痛、丧偶、倾覆，只给一个儿子或一个也不给；因为这样得它的人在一切行事上总受阻碍。

[10] But if it is found so by day, it will weaken the whole body, will make the natives sickly, epileptic, and men who frequently receive wounds from iron; it will render them feeble, always assailed by women and always worn down by women with great vexations. It will also make them give without receiving thanks for what they have given; for whoever has obtained anything from them always proves ungrateful to them.

〔十〕但倘若它在白天被发现这样落位，就会使全身虚弱，使本命之人病弱、癫痫，常受铁器之伤；它会使他们无力，总受女人的攻击，总被女人以大麻烦消磨。它还使他们施与而得不到感谢；因为凡从他们那里得了什么的人，总对他们忘恩负义。

[11] But if the Sun aspects Mars so placed from square or from opposition, or is with it, it decrees these evils stronger and more frequent; for it frequently sets the natives in the greatest dangers. It will also make them insane and lunatic if, with Mars so placed, the Ascendant is found in a house of Mars, or if the place of Fortune is found in a place or house of Mars, or if the place of Desire or of the Daemon is placed in a house of Mars.

〔十一〕但倘若太阳从四分或对冲照着这样落位的火星，或与它同在，就把这些祸患判定得更强、更频繁；因为它常把本命之人置于极大的危险之中。倘若火星这样落位时，上升点被发现在火星的庙里，或幸运之宫被发现在火星的宫位或庙里，或欲望之宫或神灵之宫落在火星的庙里，它还会使他们疯狂、癫狂（月病）。

[12] Mars placed in the fifth place from the Ascendant, if it is in this place by night, and if it is placed in its own house, or in the house of Jupiter, or in its own terms or the terms of Jupiter, or in its exaltation, and if Jupiter is with it or, itself placed in its own house, aspects it from trine, will make the greatest glory and great increases of patrimony and decrees every kind of good fortune; it also causes honors to be decreed for them by the people, and joins them in faithful friendship with powerful men or with the greatest administrators.

〔十二〕火星落在从上升点起的第五宫，倘若它在夜间在这个宫位，又落在自己的庙、或木星的庙、或自己的界、或木星的界、或自己的旺，而木星与它同在，或木星本身落在自己的庙里从三分照着它，就会造就极大的荣耀和祖产的大量增长，判定一切种类的幸福；它还使民众为他们判定荣誉，并以忠诚友谊之惠把他们与有权势的人或极大的行政官联结起来。

[13] But if, with Mars and Jupiter so placed, the Moon, waning in light, joins itself to the star of Mars by a favorable aspect, it will make very powerful and fearsome generals, to whom the greatest armies are entrusted, so that they even give judgment of life and death, and in great administrations it decrees the power of the right of the sword. But if the Moon has separated from it, and Venus is with it or aspects it from trine, it will make the natives fortunate, rich, men who obtain glory by their own efforts, and men always pleasing for the comeliness of their bodies.

〔十三〕但倘若火星和木星这样落位时，光亮亏缺的月亮以合宜的相位与火星之星相连，就会造就极有权势、令人畏惧的将领，被托付以极大的军队，甚至能下生死的判决，并在重大的行政中判定持剑之权。但倘若月亮离开了它，而金星与它同在或从三分照着它，就会使本命之人幸运、富有，凭自己的力量获得荣耀，又总因身体的俊美而讨人喜欢。

[14] But if Mars is placed by day in the fifth place from the Ascendant, it will shake the native's patrimony and often changes his dwelling, and on account of the misfortunes that befall him he lingers always in foreign regions; and he will be placed in no small dangers. But if, while Mars so placed by day is decreeing these evils, Jupiter or Venus is either placed together with it or aspects it from trine or from sextile, the native will obtain the greatest gains from the hardship of living abroad and will soon be called back from abroad to his native land.

〔十四〕但倘若火星在白天落在从上升点起的第五宫，就会动摇本命之人的祖产，常使他迁居，因所遭的不幸总滞留在异乡；他会处在不小的危险之中。但倘若这样在白天落位而判定这些祸患的火星，有木星或金星与它同在，或从三分、从六分照着它，本命之人就会从旅居异乡的辛苦中得到极大的收益，并很快从异乡被召回祖国。

[15] But there is cause for fear whenever, so placed by day, it has the Moon with waxing light in opposition; for it imposes the greatest toils and such activities as come close to an imitation of slavery. For even if the native seems to be fortunate, his good fortune will be such that it is always subject to the power of another; for it makes assessors to the highest judges; it will bring accusations, uprisings, disturbances, losses, and sudden dangers, and makes them disabled in some part of the body; at times it brings madness and such sicknesses that, burnt up by the excessive heat of fever, they pass over into insanity. It will also bring chains, prisons, and confinement, unless Jupiter, aspecting the Moon placed in opposition to Mars, or Mars itself, has softened the miseries of these calamities.

〔十五〕但每当它在白天这样落位而有光亮正盈的月亮与它对冲时，就有可怕之处；因为它加上极大的劳苦，以及近于效法奴役的那种活动。因为即使本命之人显得幸运，他的幸运也会是总受别人权力支配的那种；因为它造就最高法官的陪审；它会带来控告、骚乱、纷扰、损失和突然的危险，使他们身体某处伤残，有时带来疯狂和这样的病：被热病的过度燃烧烤灼而陷入疯狂。它还会带来锁链、监狱与拘禁，除非木星照着与火星对冲的月亮，或照着火星本身，缓和了这些灾难的苦楚。

For whenever Jupiter aspects Mars and the Moon so placed, it sets the natives in the greatest dangers, but when they have despaired of all help, Jupiter causes them to be freed by sudden help. Placed in this place by day without the testimony of Jupiter, it will also deny children.

因为每当木星以相位照着这样落位的火星与月亮时，它使本命之人陷入极大的危险，但在他们对一切救助都绝望之时，木星使他们得到突如其来的救助而获释。火星在白天落在这个宫位而没有木星的见证，还会拒绝子女。

[16] Mars placed in the sixth place from the Ascendant decrees many evils; for it will harm the children, will make life uneven, and decrees ailments, according of course to the nature of the signs; for in bent signs it causes premature death, and at times makes them lame and hunchbacked. In this place the defects of all ailments are discerned, provided, however, that the place itself is found partilely and that Mars is placed partilely in that sign.

〔十六〕火星落在从上升点起的第六宫，判定许多祸患；因为它会伤害子女，造成不均的一生，并判定病患，当然是按星座的本性；因为在弯曲的星座，它使人早死，有时使他们跛足、驼背。在这个宫位里可以看出一切病患的缺陷，不过前提是这个宫位本身是精确到度地求得的，而火星也精确到度地落在那个星座。

[17] Mars placed partilely in the seventh place from the Ascendant, that is, in the Descendant, decrees the greatest evils and immense dangers. For it will make toilers, murderers and criminals, men under accusation, inventors of crimes, or torturers, or executioners, or traitors. But if, placed in the Descendant, it aspects its own house by opposition, it will not make a violent death (for Mars never overthrows its own house); but in that case it makes the native short-lived, if the Ascendant and the Moon are protected by the guard of Jupiter. But if the Ascendant is not in a house of Mars, it renders them short-lived, especially if it aspects by square or opposition the Moon placed with full light, that is, in the Ascendant or in the Midheaven.

〔十七〕火星精确到度地落在从上升点起的第七宫，即下降点，判定极大的祸患和无尽的危险。因为它会造就劳苦的人、杀人者和罪犯、受控告的人、罪行的谋划者、或施刑者、或刽子手、或叛徒。但倘若它落在下降点而以对冲照着自己的庙，就不会使人横死（因为火星从不倾覆自己的庙）；但那时，倘若上升点和月亮受木星的护卫，它就使本命之人短命。但倘若上升点不在火星的庙里，它就使他们短命，尤其是倘若它以四分或对冲照着满光的月亮，即落在上升点或中天的月亮。

[18] But in general Mars placed in the seventh place from the Ascendant, that is, in the Descendant, by day and by night makes a violent death according to the quality of the signs. It decrees this evil more strongly and more plainly, however, in signs not its own; for if it is found in this place, it then brings pains and lacerations of the body, and either hurls them headlong, or destroys them, or weighs them down with lasting and deadly calamities while placed in prison and in chains.

〔十八〕但一般说来，火星落在从上升点起的第七宫即下降点，无论昼夜，都按星座的性质使人横死。不过它在不属于自己的星座里判定这种祸患更强、更明显；因为倘若它被发现在这个宫位，那时就带来身体的痛苦与撕裂，或把他们从高处抛下，或毁掉他们，或使他们在监狱和锁链中被长久而致命的灾难压倒。

[19] In night nativities it will bring burning sorrow from all their activities, frequently inflicts wounds from iron, and causes the wounds themselves to be treated by the fiery burning of cauteries. It brings hidden and immense pains of the body, especially when it is itself the lord of the times, or has itself possessed spans of time apportioned to it by the full Moon.

〔十九〕在夜间的本命盘里，它会从他们的一切行事中带来灼人的忧伤，常加上铁器之伤，并使伤口本身用烙铁的火灼来治疗。它带来身体隐秘而无尽的痛苦，尤其是当它本身是时主，或它本身占有了由满月分给它的时段之时。

[20] But if, with Mars placed in the seventh place, Saturn is placed partilely either in the Ascendant or in the Midheaven, or if the full Moon is carried toward Mars or the diminished Moon toward Saturn, they decree the misfortunes of great evils and of deadly calamity. Then accusations, then chains, then prisons, then condemnations, then capital sentences are pronounced against the native; for either he is thrown to the beasts, or cast down over precipices, or crushed by a collapse, or torn apart by plots within his household, or killed by robbers, or perishes on a ship. But these things are decreed according to the kind and quality of the signs; for placed in earthy signs it will cause them to be thrown to wild beasts; in solid signs it causes them to be crushed by a collapse or hurled down over precipices; placed in watery signs it drowns them by shipwreck; and placed in human signs it causes them to perish by the sword.

〔二十〕但倘若火星落在第七宫时，土星精确到度地落在上升点或中天，或者满月向火星行进、或亏月向土星行进，它们就判定巨大祸患与致命灾难的不幸。那时控告、锁链、监狱、定罪、死刑判决都加到本命之人身上；因为他或被投给野兽，或被从悬崖抛下，或被倒塌压住，或被家中的阴谋撕裂，或被强盗杀死，或死在船上。但这些都按星座的种类与性质判定；因为落在土象星座，它使他们被投给野兽；在稳固星座，使他们被倒塌压住或从悬崖抛下；落在水象星座，以船难使他们沉溺；落在人形星座，使他们死于刀剑。

[21] But if the Sun is in opposition, or with it, or in another angle of the nativity, it causes them to be burned alive, so that, placed in this place, it destroys the man in every way by wretched calamity and a lamentable death, with savagery. And before the last day of life, the one who has Mars in the seventh place of the nativity will have occupations connected with fire, or with iron, or with some kind of violence, or with tortures, or with homicides. And Mars placed in the seventh place also persecutes most violently the place of the spouse and of the children.

〔二十一〕但倘若太阳与它对冲、或与它同在、或在本命的另一角，就使他们被活活烧死，以致落在这个宫位时，它以可悲的灾难和可哀的死亡残酷地在各方面毁灭这个人。在生命的最后一日之前，本命第七宫有火星的人，会从事与火、或铁、或某种暴力、或刑讯、或杀人有关的活动。落在第七宫的火星，还极猛烈地迫害配偶与子女之宫。

[22] Mars placed in the eighth place from the Ascendant, if it is in this place by day, either denies the resources of patrimony or causes those who have a patrimony to be stripped of it by a wretched confiscation. But if it has the Sun and the Moon in opposition, it decrees blindness with the eyes put out. Placed alone in this sign, it will bring want, straits, agitation, disturbances, uprisings, and dangers.

〔二十二〕火星落在从上升点起的第八宫，倘若它在白天在这个宫位，或拒绝祖产的资财，或使有祖产的人被可悲的籍没剥夺一空。但倘若它有太阳和月亮与它对冲，就判定双眼失明。它单独落在这个星座时，会带来匮乏、窘迫、动荡、纷扰、骚乱和危险。

[23] But if, with Mars so placed, the Moon is in the succedent of the Ascendant, that is, in the second place from the Ascendant, together with Mars itself of course, and Jupiter joins itself to them by no aspect and is estranged from them and does not see the Ascendant, it makes a violent death, but according to the nature and substance of the signs. For if it is placed in human signs, as we have said, the native is killed by men with the sword; and the one who has Mars so is slain, done to death by pirates or by robbers or by members of his own household, or he is struck down by the sword by the sentence of a judge, convicted of crimes of various kinds.

〔二十三〕但倘若火星这样落位时，月亮在上升点的续宫，即从上升点起的第二宫，当然是与火星本身同在，而木星不以任何相位与它们相连，与它们疏离，也看不见上升点，它就使人横死，但按星座的本性与实质。因为倘若它如我们所说落在人形星座，本命之人就被人用剑杀死；这样得火星的人，或被海盗、或被强盗、或被自家的人杀害，或因种种不同的罪行被定罪，由法官的判决处以剑刑。

Frequently, however, so placed with the Moon, as we have said, without the testimony of Venus or Jupiter, it makes gladiators, but such as perish in the sight of the people by a cruel and savage death. In earthy signs it will cause them to be killed in desert places, though first thrown into turmoil by a manifold succession of dangers. In four-footed signs it will cause them to be seized by beasts and torn apart in wretched laceration. Placed with the Moon in watery signs in the manner we have described, it causes them to be drowned either in lakes or in the sea, or causes them, killed by pirates, to be lost in the waves and the billows. Placed in solid signs, it destroys them by a fall over precipices. Placed in fiery signs, it will cause them to be burned.

但常常，它如我们所说这样与月亮同在，而没有金星或木星的见证，就会造就角斗士，但却是在众目睽睽之下残酷地死去的那种。在土象星座，它会使他们在荒凉之地被杀，但先被接连不断的种种危险弄得心神不宁。在四足星座，它会使他们被野兽捉住，在可悲的撕裂中被撕碎。以我们所述的方式与月亮同落在水象星座，它使他们淹死在湖里或海里，或使他们被海盗杀死，葬身于波涛。落在稳固星座，它使他们从悬崖坠下而死。落在火象星座，它会使他们被烧。

[24] But if it is placed by night in this sign, that is, in the eighth place from the Ascendant, it will make the natives hot-tempered and dangerous, but shrewd; and it sets those who have Mars so in public offices or in illustrious positions, but nonetheless decrees a violent or sudden death, such as apoplectics are wont to die. But if Jupiter aspects Mars so placed with any aspect, or if it is with it, these evils we have described are softened for the most part.

〔二十四〕但倘若它在夜间落在这个星座，即从上升点起的第八宫，就会使本命之人性情火热、危险，却又机敏；它使这样得火星的人担任公职或处在显赫的地位，但仍判定横死或猝死，就像中风的人惯常那样死去。但倘若木星以任何相位照着这样落位的火星，或与它同在，我们所述的这些祸患就大部分得到缓和。

[25] But if Jupiter is found partilely in the Ascendant, and the Ascendant itself is in the house of Jupiter, and the star of Venus joins itself to Jupiter by a favorable aspect and has stood against Mars as it rages with the aspect we have described, all these deadly calamities are for the most part changed. For the lamentable misfortunes and the always wretched hardships decreed by Mars, both in this place and in the other places, are changed and grow mild if the onslaughts of Mars are softened by the good testimony of Venus and Jupiter.

〔二十五〕但倘若木星被发现精确到度地在上升点，而上升点本身在木星的庙里，金星之星又以吉利的相位与木星相连，并以我们所述的相位阻挡肆虐的火星，这一切致命的灾难就大部分得到改变。因为火星在这个宫位及其他宫位所判定的可哀遭遇与总是可悲的不幸苦楚，倘若火星的冲击被金星与木星好的见证所缓和，就会改变、变得温和。

[26] Mars placed in the ninth place from the Ascendant will be good with respect to life and glory; and if Jupiter is placed in the Ascendant when Mars is in the ninth place, it makes the natives fortunate and men who easily obtain everything. But if, with Mars placed in the ninth place by night, Jupiter is found in the degree of the Ascendant, it decrees the greatest power of administration and the right of the sword, and makes the native lead an army. Frequently, however, so placed it decrees hardships in living abroad.

〔二十六〕火星落在从上升点起的第九宫，在生命与荣耀方面是好的；倘若火星在第九宫时木星落在上升点，就使本命之人幸运，什么都容易得到。但倘若火星在夜间落在第九宫，木星被发现在上升点之度，就判定极大的行政之权与持剑之权，并使本命之人统领军队。但常常，这样落位时它会判定旅居异乡的不便。

[27] But if, placed in the ninth place, it is in a house of Mercury or of Venus, it makes learned and famous orators. But if it is either in its own house or in a house of Jupiter or in its exaltation, and Jupiter is not placed in the Ascendant, it will make men fearsome to the gods, who despise every kind of perjury.

〔二十七〕但倘若它落在第九宫，在水星或金星的庙里，就造就博学而著名的演说家。但倘若它或在自己的庙、或在木星的庙、或在自己的旺，而木星不在上升点，就会造就令诸神畏惧、蔑视一切伪誓的人。

And they will be fearsome to all daemons, men at whose arrival the wicked spirits of the daemons flee, and who free men so afflicted not by the force of words but by merely showing themselves; and however violent the daemon that shakes men's body and mind, whether it is of the air, or of the earth, or of the underworld, it will flee at this man's command and is terrified, with a kind of reverence, at his orders: these are the men whom the common people call exorcists. Such will be the one who has Mars in the ninth place, as we have said, that he can easily cleanse an afflicted man of every spirit of malignant daemons by the authority of his command.

他们会令一切邪灵畏惧，邪灵的恶灵一见他们到来就逃走，他们不凭言语之力，只凭现身，就使这样受苦的人得到解脱；无论扰乱人身心的邪灵多么暴烈，无论它是属气的、属地的、还是属冥府的，都会听从此人的命令逃走，带着某种敬畏被他的号令所吓退：这些就是俗众所称的驱魔者。第九宫有火星的人，如我们所说，会是这样的人：凭他命令的权威，能轻易地把受苦的人从一切恶毒邪灵之气中洁净出来。

[28] Mars placed in the tenth place from the Ascendant, that is, partilely in the Midheaven, in a night nativity of course, if it is found in a masculine sign, in its own domicile or in that of Jupiter (but one of the gender we have mentioned), or in its exaltation, will make the natives prone to danger indeed and often deceived in various ways, but nonetheless governors, generals, masters of life and death, tribunes fearsome to provinces and cities.

〔二十八〕火星落在从上升点起的第十宫，即精确到度地在中天，当然是在夜间的本命盘里，倘若它被发现在阳性星座，在自己的庙或木星的庙（但须是我们所说的那种性别），或在自己的旺，就会使本命之人确实容易遇险，常以种种方式受骗，但仍是总督、将领、掌生杀之权的主人、令行省与城市畏惧的军团长。

[29] But if, placed in the Midheaven by night in such a sign as we have described, it has received the conjunction of the approaching Moon, and Jupiter has occupied another angle of the nativity, and Mars itself is nonetheless placed either in its own house or in its exaltation or in its own terms, it will produce powerful generals and masters of the whole world. But if the star of Jupiter has deserted Mars so placed and does not join itself to it by any aspect and is not found in the other angles of the nativity, it will nonetheless make armed men, or commanders, or tribunes, or generals of lesser rank or of great provinces, men who, although placed in a position of lesser dignity, nevertheless have the power of the sword and of life and death.

〔二十九〕但倘若它在夜间落在中天，在我们所说的那种星座里，接受了趋近的月亮的会合，而木星占据本命的另一角，火星本身又仍落在自己的庙、或自己的旺、或自己的界里，就会产生有权势的将领和整个世界的主人。但倘若木星之星离弃了这样落位的火星，不以任何相位与它相连，也不在本命的其余各角，它仍会造就武装之人、或长官、或军团长、或较低级别的将领、或大行省的将领，他们虽然处在较低的职位上，却握有持剑之权与生杀之权。

[30] But if, with Mars placed as we have said, and Jupiter too placed, as we said before, in the other angles of the nativity, in the signs and in the degrees we have mentioned, Saturn is placed in another angle of the nativity, they will be kings and emperors, powerful, exceedingly fearsome, prone to danger, destroyers or builders of cities, but of brief life, that is, short-lived. Some also perish by an evil end; placed in foreign lands, they lose their life and their kingdom together, or die in the power of another.

〔三十〕但倘若火星如我们所说这样落位，木星也如我们前面所说落在本命的其余各角、在我们所说的星座和度数里，而土星落在本命的另一角，他们就会是君王与皇帝，有权势、极其可畏、容易遇险，是城市的毁灭者或建造者，但寿命短，即短命。也有些人以恶的结局死去；他们身处异乡，同时失去性命与王国，或死在别人的权力之下。

[31] But if Mars is found in the Midheaven in a feminine sign [probably: in the domicile or house] [lacuna] of any planet, either its own or Jupiter's, by night of course, it will nonetheless make men shining with honor; yet placed in the Midheaven by night, in a masculine sign and in a feminine sign alike, it denies children.

〔三十一〕但倘若火星被发现在中天的阴性星座〔推测：落在庙中〕〔此处原文有缺〕任何一颗行星的，或它自己的、或木星的，当然是在夜间，它仍会使他们以荣誉而光彩照人；但在夜间落在中天，无论在阳性星座还是阴性星座，它都拒绝子女。

[32] But if it is found in this place by day, that is, in the Midheaven, it will make men ineffective, whom it befits to be hindered in all their actions in various ways; it also decrees the greatest losses and the loss of the patrimony, and it will bring confiscations and condemnations as well. On some it imposes the burden of travel abroad, on others it lays the greatest straits, some it compels to flee, for others it decrees exile, and some it causes to perish abroad or in exile.

〔三十二〕但倘若它在白天被发现在这个宫位，即中天，就会造就无能的人，他们注定在一切行事上以种种方式受阻；它还判定极大的损失和祖产的丧失，也会带来籍没与定罪。它给有些人加上旅居异乡的重担，给另一些人加上极大的窘迫，迫使一些人逃亡，为另一些人判定流放，使一些人死在异乡或流放之中。

[33] Mars placed in the eleventh place from the Ascendant decrees many goods and grants increases of patrimony and the love of the people; it frequently gives the insignia of the greatest rank, if Jupiter aspects it, so placed with the waning Moon, by a good aspect, or is with it, or joins itself to it in trine association; for then it makes judges who have the right of the sword together with the greatest insignia of rank.

〔三十三〕火星落在从上升点起的第十一宫，判定许多好处，赐予祖产的增长与民众的爱戴；倘若木星以好的相位照着这样与亏缺的月亮同在的火星，或与它同在，或以三分的结伴与它相连，它就常给予最高官阶的徽章；因为那时它造就握有持剑之权、又有最高官阶徽章的法官。

[34] Mars placed in the twelfth place from the Ascendant, if it is found in this place by day, decrees the greatest sicknesses, entangles the native in evil vices, contrives frequent plots against him by slaves, and makes him such a man as slaves always desire to harm, and through slaves it spreads manifold scandals over all his affairs. And frequently, on account of certain persons who are shut up, or placed in custody, or even condemned, it decrees agitation, anguish, anxieties, losses, and dangers. But all these things are softened if Mars so placed is found in a night nativity.

〔三十四〕火星落在从上升点起的第十二宫，倘若它在白天被发现在这个宫位，判定极大的疾病，使本命之人缠进恶的恶习，从奴仆那里策动频繁的阴谋对付他，使他成为奴仆总想加害的那种人，并借奴仆在他的一切事务上散布种种丑闻。常常，又因某些被关押、被拘禁、甚至被定罪的人，它判定动荡、苦恼、忧虑、损失和危险。但倘若这样落位的火星被发现在夜间的本命盘里，这一切都得到缓和。

[35] And in all nativities and in all places we ought to wish that Venus and Jupiter always set themselves against Mars by some aspect from some place; for then its onslaughts grow faint on every side, when it is softened by the testimony of these planets. And we ought to wish this too, that Mars never occupy any angle of the nativity by day; for if it is found partilely by day in any angle of the nativity, it rages against the native in various ways. For with Mars placed in an angle, if Jupiter joins itself to it by day, if Mars is found by day in another angle, and Saturn has occupied another angle of the nativity, it will make the natives die a violent death or bring death upon themselves.

〔三十五〕在一切本命和一切宫位里，我们都应当希望金星与木星总从某处以某种相位与火星对抗；因为当火星受这两颗星的见证缓和时，它的冲击就在各方面衰弱下去。我们也应当希望火星永远不在白天占据本命的任何一角；因为倘若它在白天被发现精确到度地在本命的任何一角，就以种种方式向本命之人肆虐。因为火星落在一角时，倘若木星在白天与它相连，倘若火星在白天被发现在另一角，而土星占据了本命的另一角，就会使本命之人横死或自寻死路。

[36] But if, with Mars placed by day in an angle, Venus is found in another angle, it will make them worn out by the constant allurements of love affairs, or murderers of their wives, or men who bring death upon themselves. But if Mars occupies some angle of the nativity by day and Mercury is placed in another angle of the nativity, it will make them sufferers from heart disease and men condemned in one way or another. But if Mars is found by day in some angle of the nativity and the Sun is placed in another angle of the nativity, it will always cause them to be burned, in whatever way it may be.

〔三十六〕但倘若火星在白天落在一角，金星被发现在另一角，就会使他们被不断的恋情诱惑消磨，或成为杀妻者，或自寻死路。但倘若火星在白天占据本命的某一角，水星落在本命的另一角，就使他们患心脏病，并以这样那样的方式被定罪。但倘若火星在白天被发现在本命的某一角，太阳落在本命的另一角，就总会使他们以某种方式被火烧。

[37] But if the Moon joins itself by a like aspect, and if the Moon is waxing in light, it will make them die a violent death and lays their mothers low by the bitter death of a violent end. But if the Moon is estranged from it, and Mars is found by day in any angle of the nativity without the conjunction of any planet, it decrees the greatest ailments, defects, sicknesses, and disabilities. And it always rejoices when it joins itself to the waning Moon and to Venus; for in the book of instruction, as you remember, we showed that these three planets, that is, Mars, the Moon, and Venus, are of one condition.

〔三十七〕但倘若月亮以相似的相位与它相连，又倘若月亮光亮正盈，就会使他们横死，并以暴死的惨烈使他们的母亲倒下。但倘若月亮与它疏离，而火星在白天不与任何行星会合，被发现在本命的任何一角，就判定极大的病患、缺陷、疾病与伤残。火星总在与亏缺的月亮和金星相连时喜乐；因为你记得，我们在入门之书里说明过，这三颗行星，即火星、月亮和金星，属于同一个阵营。

[38] But if it is placed by day in any angle of the nativity and Mercury has taken another angle of the nativity, it decrees great, immense, and measureless dangers; for whatever evil there is in human affairs, it is all decreed from this conjunction of planets. And we ought to remember this too, that Mars placed in the angles by day always denies offspring. If the place of children is found in its sign, it will itself, placed in an angle, deny children, because it is itself the lord of that place. And even if the place of children is found in another's domicile, and the lord of that sign is with Mars, or if Mars aspects it from opposition or square, it will deny children.

〔三十八〕但倘若它在白天落在本命的任何一角，而水星占了本命的另一角，就判定巨大、无尽、无度的危险；因为人事中凡有的恶，都由这种行星的会合判定。我们也应当记住这一点：火星在白天落在四角，总是拒绝后嗣。倘若子女之宫被发现在它的星座，它本身落在一角，就会拒绝子女，因为它本身是那个宫位的主。即使子女之宫被发现在别星的庙里，而那个星座的主与火星同在，或火星从对冲或四分照着它，也会拒绝子女。

[39] But if by night it is itself the giver of life, it grants the greatest spans of life. If in a day nativity it is itself the giver of life, it will cause the natives to perish while placed in the first stage of life. But if another planet is the giver of life, and Mars stands against it by square or by opposition, it will take away fifteen years from the age that has been decreed for the native. But if it has the Moon placed in the middle between itself and Saturn, it disables and will cut off a part of the body according to the quality of the sign in which the Moon is found. But if it sees the waxing Moon by opposition or square, it either destroys the natives immediately or will cause them to be exposed.

〔三十九〕但倘若它在夜间本身是赐命星，就赐予极长的寿数。倘若它在白天的本命盘里本身是赐命星，就会使本命之人在人生的第一阶段死去。但倘若别的行星是赐命星，而火星以四分或对冲与它作对，就会从判定给本命之人的寿数中减去十五年。但倘若它使月亮落在它自己与土星的中间，就会按月亮所在星座的性质使人伤残，截去身体的某一部分。但倘若它以对冲或四分看着正盈的月亮，就会或立即毁灭本命之人，或使他们被遗弃。

[40] But so that you may gather the power of Mars more truly, inquire carefully into its dodecatemory and the terms of the dodecatemory.

〔四十〕但为了让你更真确地推求火星的权能，要仔细探究它的十二分部与十二分部的界。
