卷三·第五章　太阳落在各宫（上）：上升点至第七宫

V. On the Sun.

第五章　论太阳

[1] The Sun placed in the degree of the Ascendant will give brothers only with difficulty; but placed in a masculine sign, in its own house or in its exaltation, and joined by the aspect of a benefic planet or protected by benefics, it grants the insignia of great nobility. But if, with the Sun placed in the Ascendant, malefic planets approach closely with their rays, it weakens the sharpness of the eyes for the most part. But since we have said that it decrees the greatest good fortune, we ought to explain everything in detail.

〔一〕太阳落在上升点之度，只会艰难地给予兄弟；但落在阳性星座、在自己的庙或自己的旺，又以吉星的相位相连或受吉星护卫，就赐予大门第的徽章。但倘若太阳落在上升点时，凶星以它们的光线紧紧逼近，就大大削弱眼睛的锐利。但既然我们说过它判定极大的幸福，就应当把一切逐一说明。

[2] Placed partilely with Saturn in the angle of the Ascendant, in the degrees we have mentioned, by day, it will make emperors and kings; but if its strength has been slightly impeded, it will make men of consular and proconsular rank, and it gives ordinary consulships. But if Mars has aspected the Sun so placed, as we have described, or if it is placed with it, it decrees military commands, imperial authority, and powers, but with the greatest envy and with great dangers and impediments, with great battles or difficulties.

〔二〕它在白天与土星一同精确到度地落在上升点之角、在我们所说的那些度数里，会造就皇帝与君王；但倘若它的力量稍受阻碍，就会造就执政官级别与行省总督级别的人，并给予正任执政官之职。但倘若火星如我们所述照着这样落位的太阳，或与它同在，就判定军中的统领、帝王之权与种种权力，但伴着极大的嫉妒、巨大的危险与阻碍、大战或困难。

[3] But if, with the Sun placed partilely by day in the Ascendant in the signs we have mentioned, Jupiter has occupied another angle of the nativity, and Mars is found partilely in the Midheaven, in a masculine sign of course, and the Moon too is in some angle of the nativity, full of light, or in the succedents of the angles, it will make the native's commands extend over the whole world, so that, once he is placed in such an administration of power, his power, although he is not lord and king, is nevertheless directed through the expanses of the whole world.

〔三〕但倘若太阳在白天精确到度地落在上升点、在我们所说的星座里，木星占据本命的另一角，火星被发现精确到度地在中天，当然是在阳性星座，月亮也满光地在本命的某一角或在各角的续宫，就会使本命之人的号令遍及全世界，以致他一旦处在这样的权力治理之中，他的权力虽然不是主与王的权力，却也通行于全世界的疆域。

[4] But if Mars is in the Midheaven or in the Descendant, with the Sun and Jupiter placed as we have said, and the Moon is found with Mars or in the Midheaven, with full light of course, or in the eighth place of the nativity, it makes the natives, being generals or kings or administrators, die a violent death, or will cause them to be captured in some way and laid low by an evil death, according of course to the nature and substance of the signs. At times it will cause the native to be removed from his honors and cast down from all power.

〔四〕但倘若太阳和木星如我们所说这样落位，火星在中天或在下降点，而月亮被发现与火星同在、或在中天，当然是满光，或在本命的第八宫，它就使本命之人身为将领、君王或行政官而横死，或使他们以某种方式被俘、以恶死倒下，当然是按星座的本性与实质。有时它会使本命之人被免去荣誉，从一切权力上被打下来。

[5] And even if Mars is not joined with the Moon in the way we have described, and is found alone in the angles of the nativity or in their cadent places or their succedents, with the Sun placed in the Ascendant as we said before, it will nonetheless make the natives, being generals or kings or administrators, captives, or make them die a violent death, or be removed from their power with the utmost disgrace. And if the Sun is found in the degree of the Ascendant and Saturn has occupied the Midheaven partilely, it likewise makes kings, generals, and very powerful administrators.

〔五〕即使火星不是如我们所述那样与月亮相连，而是单独被发现在本命的四角、或四角的落宫、或四角的续宫，太阳又如我们前面所说落在上升点，它仍会使身为将领、君王或行政官的本命之人成为俘虏，或使他们横死，或使他们以极大的耻辱被免去权力。倘若太阳被发现在上升点之度，而土星精确到度地占据中天，它同样造就君王、将领与极有权势的行政官。

[6] If, with the Sun and Saturn so placed, Mars is found in the second or in the eighth place from the Ascendant, and the Moon, full of light, is found in the other angles, or in the second place from the Ascendant, or in the eighth with Mars, it makes the natives, being generals or kings or administrators, die a violent death and makes them exiles and captives. But if the Sun alone is found in the degree of the Ascendant, in the signs we have mentioned (for it will be fitting for you to remember this), and Mars is found in the succedent of the Moon, the Moon being placed in the other angles or in the succedents of the angles, it likewise makes the natives, being kings or generals or administrators, die a violent death, or compels them to be deprived of this honor.

〔六〕倘若太阳和土星这样落位时，火星被发现在从上升点起的第二宫或第八宫，而满光的月亮被发现在其余各角、或在从上升点起的第二宫、或与火星同在第八宫，它就使身为将领、君王或行政官的本命之人横死，并使他们成为流放者和俘虏。但倘若太阳单独被发现在上升点之度，在我们所说的星座里（因为你宜记住这一点），而火星被发现在月亮的续宫，月亮落在其余各角或各角的续宫，它同样使身为君王、将领或行政官的本命之人横死，或迫使他们被剥夺这份荣誉。

[7] But if the Sun is found in the degree of the Ascendant and the Moon is found in the other angles of the nativity or in the succedents or the cadent places of the angles, and Mars joins itself to them by no aspect, while the star of Jupiter is either placed with the Sun in the degree of the Ascendant or found in the other angles or in the succedents or the cadent places of the angles, the natives will be kings and will hold the government of the whole world, overthrowing some cities and raising up others. But if Mars, so placed, aspects the Sun, the Moon, and Jupiter, or is placed with them, or is found in the angles or in the succedents or the cadent places of the angles, it will bring evil deaths to those we have mentioned, and it also decrees defects and ailments; but the ailments and defects and the manners of death are decreed according to the nature of the signs and according to those parts of the body which, as we have said, are distributed among the signs.

〔七〕但倘若太阳被发现在上升点之度，月亮被发现在本命的其余各角、或各角的续宫或落宫，而火星不以任何相位与它们相连，木星之星又或与太阳一同落在上升点之度、或被发现在其余各角、或各角的续宫或落宫，本命之人就会是君王，执掌全世界的统治，推翻一些城市，扶起另一些。但倘若这样落位的火星照着太阳、月亮和木星，或与它们同在，或被发现在各角、或各角的续宫或落宫，就会给我们所提到的这些人带来恶死，还判定缺陷与病患；但病患、缺陷和死亡的方式，都按星座的本性、按我们说过分配给各星座的身体部位来判定。

[8] But if, with all these placed as we have said, Saturn is found in the succedents or in the cadent places of the angles, they will not indeed have so great an imperial power as we have described; nonetheless it will make them men of the greatest power and famous judges, or commanders of great legions, or tribunes, effective and fearsome, but not continuing in these ranks and powers; rather it will make them captives, or cause them to be driven into exile, or makes them perish by a violent death.

〔八〕但倘若这些都如我们所说这样落位，而土星被发现在各角的续宫或落宫，他们确实不会有我们所述那样大的帝王之权；但它仍会造就极有权力的人、著名的法官、或大军团的统领、或军团长，有效而可畏，但不能长保这些官阶与权力；它反而使他们成为俘虏、或被逐去流放、或使他们横死。

[9] The Sun placed platically in the sign of the Ascendant will make the natives freeborn and noble; but with the Sun placed platically in the sign of the Ascendant, if Jupiter and Venus and Mercury are placed in the other angles of the nativity, it will make great men, for whom the greatest good fortune in goods is provided by their parents, and who grow up from early life amid good and prosperous circumstances, so that they are always untouched by the onset of poverty.

〔九〕太阳概略地落在上升点的星座，会使本命之人生而自由、门第高贵；但太阳概略地落在上升点的星座时，倘若木星、金星和水星落在本命的其余各角，就会造就大人物，父母为他们备下了极大的财物之福，他们从早年就在美好顺遂的境况中长大，以致总与贫穷的侵袭无缘。

[10] But if Saturn aspects all these so placed from trine or from sextile, or is even placed together with them, lasting good fortune is decreed for them. But if Mars, with all of them so placed, that is, the Sun in the sign of the Ascendant, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury in the other angles, and Saturn placed in trine or in sextile or in the same place with them, aspects them with some aspect, or is placed with them, or aspects all of them from square, or joins itself from opposition to this mixture of planets, it will make the greatest judges, powerful, having the power of life and death, but thieves, rapacious, and men who seize the property of others at the greedy prompting of desire. But nonetheless, after the greatest plundering, or after the greatest robberies, or after immense thefts, it makes these same men exiles or makes them die a violent death.

〔十〕但倘若土星从三分或六分照着这样落位的这一切星，或者甚至与它们同在，就为他们判定长久的幸福。但倘若一切星都这样落位，即太阳在上升点的星座，木星、金星和水星在其余各角，土星落在三分或六分或与它们同在一处，而火星以某种相位照着它们、或与它们同在、或从四分照着它们全体、或从对冲与这一组行星的混合相连，就会造就极大的法官，有权势，掌生杀之权，但是贼，贪婪，在贪欲驱使下夺取别人的财物。但即便如此，在极大的劫掠之后、或在极大的抢夺之后、或在无数的偷窃之后，它仍使这同一些人成为流放者，或使他们横死。

[11] But if the Sun is found by night in the sign of the Ascendant, it causes the native to be born of a lowlier family. But if by night Saturn or Mars aspects by square or by opposition the Sun placed in the Ascendant, or they are together with it, and it joins itself to them by any aspect, it destroys the elder brothers, and also overthrows and squanders the substance of the native's own life and the whole substance of the patrimony, and all his activities as well [text uncertain]. And the Sun placed in any of the angles of the nativity will always weaken all the elder brothers, or makes the one who has it so the first-born among all his brothers.

〔十一〕但倘若太阳在夜间被发现在上升点的星座，它使本命之人生于较卑微的家族。但倘若在夜间土星或火星以四分或对冲照着落在上升点的太阳，或与它同在，而太阳又以任何相位与它们相连，就毁掉兄长，还推翻、挥霍本命之人自己的生计与祖产的全部实质，以及他的一切行事〔原文疑有讹误〕。太阳落在本命的任何一角，总会使所有兄长衰弱，或使这样得它的人在所有兄弟中头一个出生。

[12] The Sun placed in the second place from the Ascendant will make the natives men who acquire their patrimony by their own efforts, and gentle and good throughout their whole lives. But it makes these same men sickly and of short life, and will cause them to be impeded by various adversities, men always anxious throughout their lives with various alarms and fears.

〔十二〕太阳落在从上升点起的第二宫，会使本命之人凭自己的力量求得祖产，一生温和而良善。但它使这同一些人病弱、短命，使他们受种种逆境的阻碍，一生总因种种惊恐与畏惧而忧心。

[13] But if, with the Sun placed in this place, Venus and Jupiter aspect it with a good aspect, either from trine or from sextile, or if they are placed with it, it will give some sudden good and no small increases of good fortune; for it will cause men who were lying low and cast off to be brought into public life with an increase of rank. But this is decreed for the native with great toil and with the greatest impediment, and with a voluntary sacrifice of patrimony. Hence whoever has the Sun so placed should strive after nothing and venture on nothing, since he knows that with the Sun so placed he is impeded in all his actions.

〔十三〕但倘若太阳落在这个宫位时，金星和木星以好的相位照着它，或从三分或从六分，或与它同在，它就会给予某种突如其来的好处，以及不小的幸福增长；因为它会使原本卑微、被弃的人随着官阶的提升被引入公共生活。但这是以极大的劳苦、极大的阻碍，还有自愿牺牲祖产，才为本命之人判定的。因此，凡这样得太阳的人，什么也别去追求，什么也别去冒险，因为他知道太阳这样落位，他在一切行事上都受阻碍。

[14] The Sun placed in the third place from the Ascendant decrees an evil death for the father and will make those who have it so feeble, but good and weighty in counsel; and it will make procurators of cities, or men who handle the public accounts, or men set over the treasury, or advocates of the treasury, if Jupiter and Mercury join themselves to it by a good aspect; but they will obtain wife and children rather late.

〔十四〕太阳落在从上升点起的第三宫，为父亲判定恶死，并会使这样得它的人体弱，但在谋议上良善而稳重；倘若木星和水星以好的相位与它相连，就会造就城市的代理官、或经手公共账目的人、或主管国库的人、或国库的辩护人；但他们得妻得子都较晚。

[15] But if it is placed in the third place of the nativity, in its own house, or in the house of Jupiter, or in the house of Venus, or in the house of Mercury, or in its own exaltation, or in the exaltation of Jupiter or Venus or Mercury, it will make devout worshipers of the gods, men who dedicate with religious consecrations images of the gods made by themselves, and who preside over the building of temples at the command of emperors or judges. Placed in other signs, as we have said, it causes them to perform base offices or some servile ministry in the temples.

〔十五〕但倘若它落在本命的第三宫，在自己的庙、或木星的庙、或金星的庙、或水星的庙、或自己的旺、或木星、金星或水星的旺，就会造就虔诚的诸神崇拜者，他们以宗教的祝圣奉献亲手所制的神像，并奉皇帝或法官之命主管神庙的建造。如我们所说，落在别的星座，它使他们在神庙里担任卑微的职务或某种仆役之事。

[16] But if, with the Sun placed in the third place from the Ascendant, Saturn or Mars joins itself to it by some aspect, or if they are with it, it will make the natives perjurers, faithless, and wretched on this account through frequent public censure, debauchees, men who always frequent squalid and hidden places, who utter impious words against the divinity, but who are inflamed with constant weariness of mind.

〔十六〕但倘若太阳落在从上升点起的第三宫时，土星或火星以某种相位与它相连，或与它同在，就会使本命之人发伪誓、无信，因此常受公开的指责而悲惨，放荡，总出入肮脏隐秘之处，口出亵渎神灵之言，却又因心神不断的疲惫而焦躁。

[17] The Sun placed partilely in the fourth place from the Ascendant, if, placed in this place, it is struck by some aspect of Mars and Saturn, decrees death first for the father and brings about the overthrow of the whole family or the ruin of the whole patrimony. For the one who has it so, it decrees harassments and very many vexations, adversities, and impediments for the most part. But it will make a good old age, so that the greatest gains are conferred on the native when he is at that age; but he will be unstable in his affections toward his wife.

〔十七〕太阳精确到度地落在从上升点起的第四宫，倘若落在这个宫位而受火星和土星某种相位的打击，就为父亲先判定死亡，造成整个家族的倾覆或全部祖产的败坏。对这样得它的人本身，它大多判定纠缠、很多烦扰、逆境与阻碍。但它会造就美好的老年，使本命之人到那个年纪时得到极大的收益；但他对妻子的感情不稳定。

[18] The Sun placed in the fifth place from the Ascendant will make the natives lovable, honored, men who obtain everything easily and to whom everything is conferred through the help of friends. But if, with the Sun so placed, the star of Venus associates itself with it, present in the same sign, or joins itself to it from sextile, it grants the insignia of crowns and will adorn the native with the purple-bordered robe, and the greatest honors are conferred by the people on the one who has the Sun so. But if malefic planets are with the Sun in the same place, they will be able neither to decree nor to bring about any evil, because of the natural goodness of the place; it will harm only the children. But if it is found alone in that place, the good fortune we have described will be less, and it will harm the children in such a way that it imposes lasting childlessness, or that the native suffers the greatest torments of sorrow from the misfortune of his children.

〔十八〕太阳落在从上升点起的第五宫，会使本命之人可爱、受尊荣，什么都容易得到，一切都借朋友之助赐给他们。但倘若太阳这样落位时，金星之星与它在同一星座结伴，或从六分与它相连，就赐予冠冕的徽章，并以紫边袍为本命之人增饰，民众也授予这样得太阳的人极大的荣誉。但倘若凶星与太阳同在一处，由于这个宫位天然的良善，它们就既不能判定、也不能造成任何祸患；它只伤害子女。但倘若它单独被发现在那个宫位，我们所述的幸福就较少，它伤害子女的方式是加上长久的无子，或使本命之人因子女的不幸受极大的悲痛折磨。

[19] The Sun placed in the sixth place from the Ascendant decrees many evils; for it will always do harm and will bring serious and long sicknesses. But if, with the Sun so placed, Mars is found in the Ascendant, it will indeed bring public activities, but it frequently inflicts wounds from iron on the native; and it will cause the father either to perish by an evil death, or to die soon, or to be condemned in some way, and it also causes the whole of his substance to perish in various ways, if, with the Sun placed in the sixth place, no planet is found in the tenth place from the Ascendant, that is, in the Midheaven.

〔十九〕太阳落在从上升点起的第六宫，判定许多祸患；因为它总是有害，会带来严重而长久的疾病。但倘若太阳这样落位时，火星被发现在上升点，它确实会带来公共的活动，但常加给本命之人铁器之伤；它会使父亲或恶死、或早死、或以某种方式被定罪，还使他的全部资财以种种方式丧失，倘若太阳落在第六宫时，从上升点起的第十宫即中天没有任何行星。

For if, with the Sun placed in the sixth place, any planet whatever occupies the tenth place, that is, the Midheaven, it will make the natives wealthy, rich, abounding, men for whom the greatest good fortune is provided by succession to their father. But if, with the Sun placed in the sixth place, no planet is placed in the Midheaven, but Jupiter and Venus are found with the Sun itself in the sixth place, whatever evils have been decreed are softened, and all the wickedness of misfortune is hindered.

因为倘若太阳落在第六宫时，任何一颗行星占据了第十宫即中天，就会使本命之人殷实、富有、充裕，凭继承父亲而得到极大的幸福。但倘若太阳落在第六宫时，中天没有行星，而木星和金星被发现与太阳同在第六宫，所判定的一切祸患就得到缓和，不幸的全部恶意都受到阻止。

[20] The Sun placed in the seventh place from the Ascendant decrees the greatest defects and ailments, especially if Mars and Saturn aspect the Sun so placed with some aspect, or if they are placed with it; for according to the nature of the malefic planet that is placed with it, it imposes defects and sicknesses [probably: — if Saturn, cold and damp ones;] [lacuna] if Mars, hot and fiery ones. But if the Moon is found with it in the seventh place, or if, with the Sun placed in the seventh place, the Moon is placed partilely in the Ascendant or in the Midheaven, it will make the natives great, powerful, noble, and men to whom the greatest powers are entrusted, especially if the Sun is placed in its own house, or in its exaltation, or in the house of Jupiter, and if the place of Fortune, found partilely and carefully by calculation, is placed in some angle.

〔二十〕太阳落在从上升点起的第七宫，判定极大的缺陷与病患，尤其是倘若火星和土星以某种相位照着这样落位的太阳，或与它同在；因为它按同在的那颗凶星的本性，加上缺陷与疾病〔推测：倘若是土星，就是寒而湿的；〕〔此处原文有缺〕倘若是火星，就是热而如火的。但倘若月亮被发现与它同在第七宫，或者太阳落在第七宫时，月亮精确到度地落在上升点或中天，就会使本命之人伟大、有权势、高贵，被托付以极大的权力，尤其是倘若太阳落在自己的庙、或自己的旺、或木星的庙，又倘若幸运之宫——经精确到度、仔细的计算求得——落在某一角。

[21] But if, with the Sun and the Moon so placed and with the place of Fortune so situated as well, Jupiter has held some angle of the nativity, it will make emperors and kings, but good and benevolent ones. It will also make powerful generals and administrators who are strong, temperate, and effective, subduing provinces and cities. But if, with all these placed as we have said, that is, the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter, and the place of Fortune, Mars and Saturn are placed in the second or in the eighth place from the Ascendant, they lose their imperial power and are removed from their honors or administrations with loss of rank, and they are crushed either by hostile nations or by adversaries and rivals. It will also cause them to bring death upon themselves with their own hands, and it will make these same men captives or exiles as well.

〔二十一〕但倘若太阳和月亮这样落位，幸运之宫也这样安置，而木星占据本命的某一角，就会造就皇帝与君王，但是良善仁慈的。它还造就有权势的将领与行政官，强干、节制、有成效，征服行省与城市。但倘若这一切，即太阳、月亮、木星和幸运之宫，都如我们所说这样落位，而火星和土星落在从上升点起的第二宫或第八宫，他们就失去帝王之权，以官阶的损失被免去荣誉或职务，被敌对的民族或对手与竞争者压倒。它还会使他们亲手自寻死路，也会使这同一些人成为俘虏或流放者。

[22] But if, with the Sun placed in the seventh place of the nativity or in any other angle, Mercury, placed in the same place, joins itself to it, whether as a morning or as an evening star, it will make men of letters who attain the greatest and most varied knowledge of literature. But if, with the Sun and Mercury so placed, Saturn joins itself to them, it makes the natives malicious, malevolent, utterly wicked, and men who wish to have knowledge of difficult writings, or who themselves compose these same difficult writings.

〔二十二〕但倘若太阳落在本命的第七宫或任何别的角时，水星落在同一处与它相连，无论是晨星还是昏星，就会造就文人，获得极大而多样的文学知识。但倘若太阳与水星这样落位时，土星与它们相连，就使本命之人恶毒、心怀恶意、极坏，想通晓艰深的文字，或自己撰写这些艰深的文字。

[23] But if the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn are found so by night, they will make stonecutters, or preparers of corpses, or undertakers, or men to whom the care or guarding of tombs is entrusted. It will also make herdsmen, ox-drivers, shepherds, tamers of horses and mares, swineherds, and the like, according to the nature and power of the signs. And if, in a night nativity, with the Sun and Saturn placed in the seventh place, and Mercury too, Venus is found in the same place, or in the sixth place or in the twelfth, and, Saturn being so placed, Venus is with them, it will make eunuchs, and mannish women who never join themselves in intercourse with a man, or who, if they ever do join themselves to a man, will never conceive or bring forth offspring.

〔二十三〕但倘若太阳、水星和土星在夜间这样被发现，就会造就石匠、或殡葬整容者、或丧葬人、或受托照管看守坟墓的人。按星座的本性与权能，它还会造就牧牛人、赶牛人、牧人、驯马者、养猪人，以及类似的人。倘若在夜间的本命盘里，太阳和土星落在第七宫，水星也在，金星被发现在同一处、或第六宫、或第十二宫，而土星这样落位时金星与它们同在，就会造就宦官，以及从不与男子交合的男子气的女人，或者她们即使曾与男子结合，也永远不会怀孕生育。

[24] But if, with these so placed, Mars joins itself to them by some aspect or is found with them, it will make hermaphrodites, in whom a double nature is joined. But if, with all these so placed, the Moon joins itself to them by some aspect or is found with them, they will make chief eunuch-priests of the Great Mother, men who cut off their own genitals with their own hands. They will also make pimps, men who wish to hire out prostitutes under their own management.

〔二十四〕但倘若这些星这样落位时，火星以某种相位与它们相连，或被发现与它们同在，就会造就两性人，在他们身上两种性别结合在一起。但倘若这一切这样落位时，月亮以某种相位与它们相连，或被发现与它们同在，它们就会造就大母神的首席阉人祭司，即亲手割去自己生殖器的人。它们还造就皮条客，即想在自己的经营下出租娼妓的人。
