卷三·第七章　水星落在十二宫

VII. Mercury.

第七章　水星

[1] Mercury placed partilely in the degree of the Ascendant, in the signs in which it rejoices, in a day nativity, makes philosophers, teachers of the art of grammar, or geometers, or men who often deal with heavenly things, or who aim at being able to behold the presence of the gods, or men skilled in sacred writings; it also frequently makes orators and advocates, especially if it has been found in this place either in its own signs or in the other vocal signs.

〔一〕水星精确到度地落在上升点之度，落在它所喜乐的星座里，又是白天的本命盘，会造就哲人、文法之学的教师、或几何学家，或常常研究天上之事的人，或立志要能目睹诸神临在的人，或精通神圣典籍的人；它也常造就演说家与辩护人，尤其是倘若它被发现在这个宫位时，是在自己的星座里，或在其他发声的星座里。

[2] But if the Sun or Saturn or Jupiter has aspected Mercury so placed in a day nativity, it will make great men, who are crowned with sacred and glorious garlands; it also makes men such that the greatest affairs of emperors are entrusted to them. But if Mars has aspected Mercury so placed from a square or from opposition, or has been found with it partilely in the Ascendant, it lays low the one who has been so born with a manifold succession of evils: for the evils that come from this conjunction of Mercury and Mars cannot be defined or described. But if Mars has aspected Mercury so placed from a trine, it makes the man occupied in good and prosperous actions.

〔二〕但倘若太阳、或土星、或木星在白天的本命盘里照着这样落位的水星，就会造就伟大的人，戴着神圣而荣耀的花冠；它还使他们成为受托办理皇帝最重大事务的人。但倘若火星从四分或对冲照着这样落位的水星，或被发现与它精确地同在上升点，就以接连不断的多种祸患击倒这样出生的人；因为水星与火星这种会合所生的祸患，既无法界定，也无法描述。但倘若火星从三分照着这样落位的水星，就使人从事良好而顺遂的事务。

[3] But if Mercury has been found so, partilely, in the Ascendant in a night nativity, it makes men divine in their perceptions, who always attain everything they wish by the easiest means; it will also render them honorable and grave in character, and it makes them overseers of accounts, either of contracts, or of documents, or of taxes, or of trading, or men who handle the business of banking tables and moneylending. Placed so by night, it will also frequently render interpreters of emperors or of very powerful judges; but it decrees all these things according to the difference and quality of the signs.

〔三〕但倘若水星在夜间的本命盘里被发现这样精确地在上升点，会使人感知神妙，总以最容易的办法得到一切所愿；它还会使他们品格可敬而庄重，使他们成为账目的主管，或主管契约、或文书、或税赋、或贸易，或经办钱庄柜台与放贷之事的人。夜间这样落位，它还常造就皇帝或极有权势的法官的通译；但它按星座的差别与性质判定这一切。

[4] Mercury placed in the second place from the Ascendant, if it has been found in morning rising, will make men obscure, of wicked mind, strangers to the knowledge of letters, and such a man as is destitute of every support of life. But if it is an evening star in this place and the nativity is by night, it will make moneylenders, traders, or men who undertake the care and management of others' affairs. But if it has been found so in a day nativity, it makes philologists or men skilled in laborious writings, and men who are unwilling to compare their own nature with that of other men; for they will lay claim to everything that no instruction from a teacher has handed down to them; it certainly makes them wretched in life, and men who always wear themselves out with various kinds of straits.

〔四〕水星落在从上升点起的第二宫，倘若被发现在晨升，会使人默默无闻、心术邪恶、不通文字之学，成为缺少一切生计依靠的人。但倘若它在这个宫位是昏星，而本命是夜间的，就会造就放贷者、商人，或承担照料与经管他人事务的人。但倘若它在白天的本命盘里被发现这样，就会造就语文学者或精于艰深著述的人，以及不愿把自己的天性与他人相比的人；因为凡是没有任何老师教导传给他们的东西，他们都要据为己有；它当然也使他们一生困苦，总以种种窘迫把自己磨损。

[5] But if Jupiter has aspected Mercury so placed by some aspect, or if it has been found with it, and the Moon has associated itself with them by a good conjunction, it causes them to be set over great and famous places, but men who do not hold the chief power, but in that very office are subject to another's power. It also makes overseers of great accounts, and renders men such as sustain the royal resources by their management and have all the royal revenues and treasures entrusted to their good faith and management; but this good fortune of theirs will end within a short space of time.

〔五〕但倘若木星以某种相位照着这样落位的水星，或被发现与它同在，而月亮又以好的会合与它们结伴，就使他们被置于重大而著名的职位之上，却不是掌握最高权力的人，而是在那个职位上仍受他人权力管辖的人。它还造就大笔账目的主管，使人以自己的经管支撑君王的资财，君王的全部收入与财宝都托付给他们的信义与经管；但他们的这份好运会在短时间内结束。

[6] Mercury placed in the third place from the Ascendant will make priests, magi, chief physicians, astrologers, and men who find out and learn by themselves whatever has not been handed down to them by another's teaching; and it makes them sagacious, fortunate, and men who apply themselves to all actions with easy skill. But if Jupiter has aspected Mercury so placed from a trine or from a sextile, or if it has been found with it, it will make men of great mind, men of great and divine counsels. But if, with Mercury and Jupiter so placed, Mars has bound itself to them by some aspects, it will make procurators of kings, famous generals, powerful administrators, and men to whom the substance of the royal resources is entrusted, and they render them such in mind and strength that they can overcome everything by the virtue and good fortune of their mind.

〔六〕水星落在从上升点起的第三宫，会造就祭司、玛吉、首席医师、星占家，以及凡是别人未曾教传给他们的，都能自己发现、自己学会的人；它使他们聪敏、幸运，以轻巧的技艺投身于一切事务。但倘若木星从三分或六分照着这样落位的水星，或被发现与它同在，就会造就心胸宏大、有伟大而神妙谋略的人。但倘若水星与木星这样落位时，火星以某些相位与它们相结，就会造就君王的代理官、著名的将领、有权势的行政官，以及受托君王资财之本的人；它们使人在心智与力量上都能凭心智的德能与好运胜过一切。

[7] Mercury placed in the fourth place from the Ascendant, in the lower Midheaven, will make men sharp-witted, overseers of public accounts, and men strong in manifold learning. But if it has been found in this place in morning rising, it renders teachers of certain secret arts. But if, with Mercury so placed, Mars and Saturn have occupied the other angles of the nativity and have aspected Mercury either from a square or from opposition, they will bring accusations, imprisonment in custody, and frequently condemnations. But if it has been found as an evening star in the fourth place from the Ascendant, that is, in the lower Midheaven, it will make goldsmiths, or gold miners, or teachers of certain hidden arts, or men who appear well instructed in reckoning or calculation, or it will produce leaders and overseers of men of the wrestling schools.

〔七〕水星落在从上升点起的第四宫，即地底中天，会使人机敏，做公共账目的主管，在多种学问上有力。但倘若它被发现在这个宫位时是晨升，就造就某些秘传技艺的教师。但倘若水星这样落位时，火星和土星占住本命的其余各角，又从四分或对冲照着水星，就会带来控告、羁押入狱，并常带来定罪。但倘若它作为昏星被发现在从上升点起的第四宫，即地底中天，就会造就金匠、或采金者、或某些隐秘技艺的教师，或看来精于算账计数的人，或产生角力学校之人的首领与主管。

[8] Mercury placed in the fifth place from the Ascendant, if it has been found in morning rising, will make hiders of gold and riches, and men who by their foresight build up the greatest wealth of substance, or it makes them overseers of money that belongs to others, but great sums, and men who appear to be of divine character. And with Mercury so placed the greatest substance of livelihood is decreed for them, and they will have a fruitful offspring of children.

〔八〕水星落在从上升点起的第五宫，倘若被发现在晨升，会造就藏匿金银财富的人，以及以远见积聚起极大资财的人，或使他们做他人钱财的主管，而且是大笔的钱财，又是看来有神妙品格的人。水星这样落位时，判给他们极大的生计资财，他们还会有多产的子女后嗣。

[9] But if it has been found as an evening star in this place, the native will be able to keep money by no means, but it will cause everything that has been stored up of money, or of gold and silver and other movable goods, to be squandered in lavish expenditures. It certainly makes men busy in affairs and placed over public accounts in some administration or other. At times, according to the quality of the signs, it makes teachers, or geometers, or astrologers, and men who find out the course of the stars by skill in computation; it also makes overseers of the wrestling schools and their leaders.

〔九〕但倘若它作为昏星被发现在这个宫位，本命之人无论如何都守不住钱财，凡是积存下来的钱财，或金银及其他动产，它都会使之在挥霍的开销中散尽。它当然使人忙于事务，在某个行政部门里主管公共账目。有时它按星座的性质造就教师、或几何学家、或星占家，以及凭计算的技艺找出星辰运行的人；它还造就角力学校的主管与首领。

[10] But if Mercury placed in this place has received the conjunction of the waxing Moon, it makes the whole body of the man mottled with white spots, or will entangle him in defective states of health, according to the nature and quality of the signs. But if, with Mercury so placed, the waning Moon has joined itself to it, it will entangle the man in shameful ailments, and will frequently make him stray from the right order of living through perverse fits of madness.

〔十〕但倘若落在这个宫位的水星接受了正盈月亮的会合，就使人全身布满白斑，或按星座的本性与性质，使他陷入种种身体的缺损。但倘若水星这样落位时，亏缺的月亮与它相结，就会使人陷入羞于启齿的病患，并常以悖乱的疯狂发作使他偏离正当的生活次序。

[11] Mercury placed in the sixth place from the Ascendant will cause the native to acquire for himself the greatest fortune, either from the learned facility of his speech, or from advocacy, or from trade, or from the revenues of the gods, especially if, with Mercury so placed, another planet has been found in the tenth sign from the Ascendant.

〔十一〕水星落在从上升点起的第六宫，会使本命之人为自己挣得极大的财富，或凭博学而流利的言辞，或凭辩护，或凭贸易，或凭诸神的收入，尤其是倘若水星这样落位时，从上升点起的第十个星座里被发现另一颗行星。

[12] But if in a night nativity it has been found as a morning star in the sixth place, it makes interpreters, fishermen, fowlers, sculptors, if, with Mercury so placed, another planet has been found in the tenth place of the nativity. But if in a night nativity it has been placed as a morning star in the sixth place, and the tenth place from the Ascendant has no planet, it makes men malignant, malicious, authors of evil counsels, thieves, and men who covet the property of others with an envious burning of mind, who rejoice at the misfortunes of others, informers, men who pursue all their relatives by marriage and their kinsmen with bitter hatred, sluggish and blind in mind, and men on whom every kind of malice is bestowed.

〔十二〕但倘若它在夜间的本命盘里作为晨星被发现在第六宫，而水星这样落位时，本命的第十宫被发现另一颗行星，就会造就通译、渔夫、捕鸟人、雕刻匠。但倘若它在夜间的本命盘里作为晨星落在第六宫，而从上升点起的第十宫没有行星，就会使人阴毒、恶意，出谋作恶，做窃贼，以嫉妒的心火贪图他人的财产，以他人的不幸为乐，做告密者，以苦毒的仇恨追害一切姻亲与族人，心智迟钝而昏盲，一切恶意都赋予了他们。

[13] But if it has been found as an evening star in this place, it will make men sagacious, grave, secretive, overseers of accounts, or of banking tables, or of granaries, or of storehouses, or of documents, or of trading, from which occasions great gains are conferred on them. But if, so placed, it has received the conjunction of the approaching Moon, it will make scribes either of judges, or of authorities, or of the senate, or men who, placed with emperors, have some power of teaching, or who are ordered to govern the affairs of their prince by their own management, especially if, with Mercury so placed, the Moon or any other planet occupies the 10th place of the nativity.

〔十三〕但倘若它作为昏星被发现在这个宫位，会使人聪敏、庄重、隐秘，做账目、或钱庄柜台、或粮仓、或库房、或文书、或贸易的主管，从这些机会中赐给他们大利。但倘若它这样落位时接受了趋近的月亮的会合，就会造就法官、或长官、或元老院的书记，或在皇帝身边有某种教导之权的人，或受命以自己的经管治理君主事务的人，尤其是倘若水星这样落位时，月亮或任何别的行星占住本命的第十宫。

[14] Mercury placed in the seventh place from the Ascendant, that is, in the Descendant, if it has been found in a day nativity, will cause those who have Mercury so to be entangled in grave vices and to burn with the desires of wretched lusts; and they will be excessive lovers either of boys or of maidens, but these men are allotted debauched women as wives, and frequently they undertake the care and protection of infamous men. But this too is decreed according to the quality of the signs; for if it has been found in this place in those signs in which it does not rejoice, that is, in the house of Mars or in the house of Saturn, or in the others in which it is depressed, it will make overseers of harlots, and pimps, and men who are befouled with the filth of this infamy. But if Mars has been found in opposition, or in the Midheaven, or placed with Mercury in the Descendant, that is, in the seventh place, it will make a life of short duration, and makes men consumptive, fugitives, exiles, and condemned.

〔十四〕水星落在从上升点起的第七宫，即下降点，倘若在白天的本命盘里被发现这样，会使这样得水星的人陷入严重的恶习，燃着可悲情欲的欲火；他们会过度地爱恋男童或少女，但分给这些人做妻子的是放荡的女人，他们也常承担照料与庇护声名狼藉之人的事。但这也是按星座的性质判定的；因为倘若它被发现在这个宫位时落在它不喜乐的星座，即火星的庙或土星的庙，或其他它低落的星座，就会造就娼妓的管头、皮条客，以及被这种恶名的污秽所玷污的人。但倘若火星被发现在对冲、或在中天、或与水星一同落在下降点即第七宫，就使人寿命短促，使人患痨病、逃亡、流放、被定罪。

[15] But if it has been found by night in the seventh place of the nativity, that is, in the Descendant, it will make stewards of rich women, and men on whom the greatest good fortune is conferred through occasions of love; and it renders inventors of reckoning, or of music, or of shorthand, or of difficult writings. I know that Mercury in this place has often made pebble-jugglers.

〔十五〕但倘若它在夜间被发现在本命的第七宫，即下降点，会造就富有女人的管家，以及凭爱情的机缘得到极大好运的人；它还造就计算之学、或音乐、或速记、或艰深著述的发明者。我知道水星在这个宫位常造就弄石子的戏法人。

[16] Mercury placed in the eighth place from the Ascendant, if it has been found in this place by day as an evening star, will make men slow, who neither dare nor wish to do anything, always hindered by laborious actions, foolishly malicious, and useful for no actions. But if, placed in this place, it is in the house of Saturn or in the degrees of Saturn, it will make men deaf, especially if Saturn has aspected it so placed by some aspect.

〔十六〕水星落在从上升点起的第八宫，倘若在白天作为昏星被发现在这个宫位，会使人迟缓，什么都不敢做、也不想做，总受劳苦之事拖累，愚蠢而恶意，于任何事务都无用。但倘若落在这个宫位时它在土星的庙或土星的度数里，就会使人耳聋，尤其是倘若土星以某种相位照着这样落位的它。

[17] But if it has been found in this place by night as an evening star, it will make heirs to another's patrimony, and men who by chance find hidden wealth; they will also be fortunate and blessed alike, yet afflicted with defects, and men who are easily worn down by continual illnesses. But placed in this place as a morning star, it will cause those who are so born to increase their money without end, and to strive after great undertakings; and others it will make faithful and steadfast keepers of anxious charges, of deposits, or of business, or of documents, or frequently heirs to another's patrimony.

〔十七〕但倘若它在夜间作为昏星被发现在这个宫位，会造就他人祖产的继承人，以及偶然发现隐藏财富的人；他们也会同样幸运而有福，却带着缺损，容易被接连不断的疾病消磨。但作为晨星落在这个宫位，会使这样出生的人无尽地增加钱财，追求大事业；另一些人它会使之成为忠实而坚定的看管者，看管令人操心的托付、寄存、或生意、或文书，或常常成为他人祖产的继承人。

[18] Mercury placed in the ninth place from the Ascendant, if it has been found in this place without the aspect of any planet, will make men contentious, contradictors, dialecticians, professing to know whatever has been imparted to them by no teaching, malicious, but men who can accomplish nothing by effective thought.

〔十八〕水星落在从上升点起的第九宫，倘若被发现在这个宫位而没有任何行星的相位，会使人好争、好驳，做论辩家，自称通晓一切未经任何教导传给他们的东西，又恶意，却凭有效的思考什么也做不成。

[19] But if it has been found in this place as a morning star, it will make priests, diviners, haruspices, augurs, astrologers, students of the stars, physicians, and men who seek the supports of life from these arts and pursuits. But these things will be stronger if it has been protected by the aspect of the benefic planets; for it will make men fortunate, blessed, great, powerful, and men on whom all the insignia of good fortune are conferred. But if the malefic planets have aspected Mercury so placed, or if they have been found in opposition or in square, it will make men irreligious, sacrilegious, robbers of temples, condemned and deserving condemnation, and men who always wander as fugitives in foreign places, or who are oppressed by sentences of exile.

〔十九〕但倘若它作为晨星被发现在这个宫位，会造就祭司、占卜者、脏卜师、鸟卜师、星占家、观星者、医师，以及从这些技艺与学业中谋求生计依靠的人。但倘若它受吉星的相位护卫，这些就更强；因为它会使人幸运、有福、伟大、有权势，一切好运的徽章都赐给他们。但倘若凶星照着这样落位的水星，或被发现在对冲或四分，就会使人不敬神、亵渎、盗窃神庙，被定罪且该被定罪，总在异乡逃亡流浪，或受放逐的判决压迫。

[20] But Mercury placed in this place as an evening star will make priests, magi, physicians, craftsmen, and men who acquire the supports of life from these arts, and men of such talent that they learn by themselves whatever the instruction of a teacher has not handed down to them.

〔二十〕但水星作为昏星落在这个宫位，会造就祭司、玛吉、医师、工匠，以及从这些技艺中获得生计依靠的人，又是天资如此的人：老师的教导没有传给他们的，他们都能自己学会。

[21] Mercury placed in the tenth place from the Ascendant, that is, in the Midheaven, if it is a morning star in this place, renders men admirable and great in their actions. For if Jupiter has aspected Mercury so placed from some side, from a trine or from a sextile, in a day nativity, they will be great and powerful, handling the affairs of the greatest cities, or of emperors, or of powerful men, faithful, benevolent, wise, and grave. But in a night nativity, if Venus has aspected Mercury so placed by some aspect, it will do the things which we have shown that it does in a day nativity with Jupiter. But if Mars has aspected Mercury so placed from some side, that is, from a square or from opposition, promotions that are coming are driven away by various kinds of offenses; and on this account they will frequently be exiles, or bear the burdens of some condemnation. And if the Moon too has joined itself to Mars by some aspect, they will also make them die a violent death.

〔二十一〕水星落在从上升点起的第十宫，即中天，倘若在这个宫位是晨星，会使人在事务上令人钦佩而伟大。因为倘若在白天的本命盘里木星从某一方、从三分或六分照着这样落位的水星，他们会伟大而有权势，经办最大城市、或皇帝、或有权势者的事务，忠实、仁善、睿智而庄重。但在夜间的本命盘里，倘若金星以某种相位照着这样落位的水星，它就会做我们说过它在白天的本命盘里与木星一同所做的事。但倘若火星从某一方，即从四分或对冲，照着这样落位的水星，将要到来的升迁就被种种过失赶走；因此他们会常被放逐，或背负某种定罪的重担。倘若月亮也以某种相位与火星相结，它们还会使人横死。

[22] But placed as an evening star in the 10th place from the Ascendant, it will cause travels abroad and continual changes of place, and it also causes them to be made public in all their actions. But if Saturn has aspected Mercury so placed from some side, either from opposition or from a square, it will make them always occupied in watery business, and it places their occupations either near the sea, or near a river, or near pools; and it decrees defects and ailments always from an abundance of humors.

〔二十二〕但作为昏星落在从上升点起的第十宫，会带来旅居异乡与接连不断的迁徙，还使人的一切行事都公之于众。但倘若土星从某一方，或从对冲，或从四分，照着这样落位的水星，就会使人总忙于与水有关的营生，把他们的营生安置在海边、或河边、或池塘边；它还总判定由体液过多而来的缺损与病患。

[23] Mercury placed in the eleventh place from the Ascendant will make men talented, indispensable in all actions, and men to whom the handling of great accounts is entrusted; but it decrees greater offices then, if it has been joined to Jupiter by a favorable aspect.

〔二十三〕水星落在从上升点起的第十一宫，会使人有才干，在一切事务中不可或缺，受托经管大笔账目；但倘若它以吉利的相位与木星相连，那时判定的官职更大。

[24] Mercury placed in the twelfth place from the Ascendant will make men talented; if it is a morning star, it places them in great business affairs, or makes them contractors of public business, so that in those affairs in which others run into danger, they themselves have prosperous outcomes. But placed in this place as an evening star, it will make men who stir up many affairs and devise many affairs. For it was not without cause that the wisest men marked this place, nor without cause that they placed childbirth, or the time of a woman in labor, in this place; for the mother who is about to bring forth offspring is placed in this place.

〔二十四〕水星落在从上升点起的第十二宫，会使人有才干；倘若它是晨星，就把他们安置在重大的生意里，或使他们成为公共事业的承包人，以致在别人陷入危险的那些事务里，他们自己却得到顺遂的结果。但作为昏星落在这个宫位，会造就搅动许多事务、谋划许多事务的人。因为最睿智的人们标出这个宫位并非没有缘故，把分娩即妇人临产之时放在这个宫位也并非没有缘故；因为将要生产后代的母亲就被放在这个宫位。

[25] For the sixth place too is related to the twelfth, so that all the other planets placed in these places have sluggish actions; but Mercury found in this place will make learned grammarians, orators, geometers, teachers, men who sell their speeches and pleadings in continual traffic, or who are accustomed by the protection of their speech to come to the aid of men in trouble, defending them and freeing them from dangers; for they will be such that they appear more sagacious than all, and men on whom increases in all learning are conferred. But it does this when it has either been joined to Jupiter or struck by no aspect of the malefics.

〔二十五〕因为第六宫也与第十二宫相关，以致落在这些宫位的其他一切行星都事务迟滞；但被发现在这个宫位的水星，会造就博学的文法家、演说家、几何学家、教师，以不断的买卖出售自己演说与辩词的人，或惯于以言辞的庇护援助陷入困境之人、为他们辩护、救他们脱离危险的人；因为他们会显得比所有人都聪敏，一切学问上的增进都赐给他们。但它要么与木星相连，要么不受凶星任何相位的打击时，才这样做。

[26] But if Mars has aspected it either from opposition or from a square, or is together with it, it will make informers, secretive, crafty, malicious, and evil-doing men. It will also make sorcerers, poisoners, or men who carry out forgeries by the craft of malice, so that on account of the malice of these crimes they incur grave condemnations; for they will be condemned either as sorcerers or as forgers; and it will make them forge either tablets, or deeds, or public records, or will make them, condemned on this account, perish by evil deaths. It will also bring the greatest condemnations and the greatest dangers either from slaves or on account of slaves.

〔二十六〕但倘若火星从对冲或四分照着它，或与它同在，就会造就告密者、隐秘、狡诈、恶意而作恶的人。它还会造就行巫术者、下毒者，或以恶意的诡计伪造文书的人，以致因这些罪行的恶毒而招致严重的定罪；因为他们会作为行巫术者或伪造者被定罪；它会使他们伪造文板、或契据、或公共档案，或使他们因此被定罪而恶死。它还会从奴隶那里、或因奴隶之故，带来极大的定罪与极大的危险。

[27] But if, with Mercury and Mars so placed, the Moon, waxing in light, has joined itself to them, it will make them die a violent death, but men who are struck down by the punishment of a judge. And if the Sun too has been found with them without the testimony of Jupiter, it will cause them to be burned up in flames. But all these things are decreed according to the quality of the signs.

〔二十七〕但倘若水星与火星这样落位时，光正盈长的月亮与它们相结，就使人横死，却是被法官的刑罚击倒的人。倘若太阳也被发现与它们同在，又没有木星作证，就会使他们被火焚烧。但这一切都按星座的性质判定。

[28] But since we have said that Mercury joins itself to all the planets with easy readiness and is good with the good and evil with the evil, we ought to explain what it decrees in nativities in association with each of them. By day, placed with Jupiter and the Sun in favorable places of the nativity, it decrees the greatest good fortune; but if by day it has been found with Mars, it will cause the calamities of the greatest misfortunes. But by night it is changed in a like manner; for with Venus and the Moon and Mars it is good, but with the Sun it decrees the greatest evils and misfortunes. In order to teach this more clearly, we ought to explain everything specifically. But first inquire carefully into the dodecatemory of Mercury and the terms of the dodecatemory, so that you may arrive at all the secrets of the nativity.

〔二十八〕但既然我们说过水星以轻易的敏捷与一切行星相结，与善者同善、与恶者同恶，我们就应当说明它在本命中与每一颗行星结伴时判定什么。在白天，与木星和太阳一同落在本命的吉利宫位，它判定极大的好运；但倘若在白天被发现与火星同在，就会造成极大不幸的灾祸。但在夜间它也同样改变；因为与金星、月亮和火星同在，它是好的，但与太阳同在，它判定极大的祸患与不幸。为了把这一点教得更清楚，我们应当逐一具体说明。但先要仔细探究水星的十二分部与十二分部的界，好让你找到本命的一切秘密。
