卷三·第十至十一章　水星与木星、水星与火星

X. Mercury and Jupiter.

第十章　水星与木星

[1] Mercury placed partilely with Jupiter in the Ascendant in a day nativity will make men illustrious and glorious, set over cities, or among the ten foremost men of the greatest cities, judges, and men who restore the laws to provinces or cities, but men who always rejoice in just causes. But if they have been found so by night, it makes procurators, or agents, or overseers of business, but of great or powerful men; at times it makes scribes, overseers of accounts, banking tables, storehouses, and trading, and indeed men who are shrewd and talented, and on whom the greatest good fortune is conferred from the excellence of their talent.

〔一〕水星与木星在白天的本命盘里精确地同在上升点，会使人显赫而荣耀，被置于城市之上，或为最大城市的十人首领之一，或做法官，以及为行省或城市恢复法律的人，却总是乐于正义之事的人。但倘若它们在夜间被发现这样，就造就代理官、或经办人、或事务的主管，但都是为大人物或有权势者办事；有时它造就书记，账目、钱庄柜台、库房与贸易的主管，而且是精明有才的人，凭才华的出众赐给他们极大的好运。

[2] Mercury and Jupiter placed partilely in the second place from the Ascendant in a day nativity will make heirs to another's patrimony, men adopted by strangers, masters of many estates and of deposited goods, and men on whom the greatest increases of good fortune are conferred in the course of time. But if they have been found partilely in this place by night, they will make men rather foolish, men whose good fortune is not lasting, and whom the course of life very often deceives.

〔二〕水星与木星在白天的本命盘里精确地落在从上升点起的第二宫，会造就他人祖产的继承人、被外人收养的人、许多庄园与寄存财物的主人，以及随着时间推移得到好运极大增长的人。但倘若它们在夜间被发现精确地在这个宫位，就会使人较为愚钝，好运不能长久，常常被人生的进程所欺骗。

[3] Jupiter and Mercury placed partilely in the third place from the Ascendant will make magi, but illustrious men, always strong in goodness, hymn-writers, or bearers of the gods, or guardians of temples, or men who initiate and consecrate men into religious rites and who foreknow the future by the warning of the gods, or they will make overseers of sacred contests. Jupiter and Mercury placed together in the 9th place from the Ascendant decree these same things.

〔三〕木星与水星精确地落在从上升点起的第三宫，会造就玛吉，却是显赫的、总以良善见长的人，颂诗作者，或诸神的抬像人，或神庙的守护者，或使人入教并为之祝圣、凭诸神的警示预知未来的人，或者它们会造就神圣竞赛的主管。木星与水星一同落在从上升点起的第九宫，判定同样的事。

[4] Mercury and Jupiter placed together in the fourth place from the Ascendant will make inventors of reckoning and of instruments, or curators or guardians of minors, but men who undertake the care and protection of women; some find certain things by chance, others know the ways to hidden treasures, from which the greatest good fortune is procured for them.

〔四〕水星与木星一同落在从上升点起的第四宫，会造就计算之学与器械的发明者，或未成年人的保佐人或监护人，却是承担照料与庇护女人之事的人；有些人偶然找到某些东西，另一些人知道通往隐藏宝藏的路，由此为自己获得极大的好运。

[5] Jupiter and Mercury placed partilely in the fifth place from the Ascendant decree the same things in a like manner both by day and by night; for many powers and nobility are conferred in the course of time; and they will be very easygoing in all their actions, and men who easily attain what they wish. Placed together in the 11th place of the nativity, they decree these same things.

〔五〕木星与水星精确地落在从上升点起的第五宫，白天与夜间都以相同的方式判定同样的事；因为随着时间推移会赐予许多权力与高贵的门第；他们在一切行事中都极随和，所愿容易达成。一同落在本命的第十一宫，判定同样的事。

[6] Mercury and Jupiter placed partilely in the sixth place from the Ascendant decree the same things in a like manner by night and by day, if they have been found in morning rising; for they will make men easy in all business, fiscal officers, or overseers of certain lawsuits or contests and their examination, or of accounts, or of trading, or of certain religious rites, so that they have the greatest resources from the revenues of the gods, especially if, with these so placed, some planet has been placed in the tenth place from the Ascendant.

〔六〕水星与木星精确地落在从上升点起的第六宫，倘若被发现在晨升，夜间与白天都以相同的方式判定同样的事；因为它们会使人在一切事务上从容，做财务官员，或某些诉讼、竞赛及其审理的主管，或账目、或贸易、或某些宗教仪式的主管，以致从诸神的收入中得到极大的资财，尤其是倘若它们这样落位时，从上升点起的第十宫落有某颗行星。

[7] But if the Moon is moving in such a way that, placed in the 10th place from the Ascendant, it joins itself to them by its aspect, they will be rich and affluent, masters of much money or of much gold, men who obtain the greatest fruits of their possessions, fortunate, blessed, and men who arrange the affairs of kings by their intercession, collectors of the royal grain supplies or of fiscal moneys, set over provinces and cities.

〔七〕但倘若月亮这样运行，以致落在从上升点起的第十宫，以它的相位与它们相结，他们就会富有而丰足，拥有大量钱财或大量黄金，从产业中得到极大的收获，幸运而有福，以自己的说情安排君王的事务，做君王粮赋或国库钱款的征收者，被置于行省与城市之上。

[8] But if the nativity is by day and, with Jupiter placed with Mercury in the sixth place, no planet has been found in the 10th place from the Ascendant, it will make men middling in life, in patrimony, and in actions. But if they have been found so by night, they render interpreters in business, and fishermen, or augurs, or sculptors, or men always hindered by laborious actions, or performing servile duties, or placed in such arts as are squalid with heavy smells and heavy filth, that is, either fullers, or leather-dressers, or makers of Gallic shoes, or bakers, or wool-workers, or the like.

〔八〕但倘若本命是白天的，木星与水星一同落在第六宫，而从上升点起的第十宫没有发现行星，就会使人在生活、祖产与事务上都平平。但倘若它们在夜间被发现这样，就造就生意上的通译、渔夫、或鸟卜师、或雕刻匠，或总受劳苦之事拖累的人，或做奴仆差事的人，或从事那种因浓重气味与沉重污秽而肮脏的技艺，即漂洗匠、或制革匠、或高卢鞋匠、或面包师、或毛纺工之类。

[9] Mercury placed together with Jupiter in the seventh place from the Ascendant, that is, in the Descendant, decrees the same things in a like manner both by night and by day. For it will cause the greatest good fortune to be conferred by women, and will make men set over public offices, and leaders of peoples or of cities, or among the ten foremost men, of rather long life and a good old age, of good counsels and character, and men who always desire good things. But these things are diminished in night nativities if Saturn has aspected Mercury so placed with Jupiter from opposition or from a square, or if it has been found with them.

〔九〕水星与木星一同落在从上升点起的第七宫，即下降点，夜间与白天都以相同的方式判定同样的事。因为它会使极大的好运由女人赐予，使人被置于公职之上，做民众或城市的领袖，或十人首领之一，寿命较长，晚年美好，有好的谋略与品格，总渴望好的事物。但在夜间的本命盘里，倘若土星从对冲或四分照着这样与木星一同落位的水星，或被发现与它们同在，这些就会减少。

[10] Mercury and Jupiter placed partilely in the eighth place from the Ascendant, if they have been found so in a day nativity, will make men middling in life, and men who procure the supports of life for themselves from certain discoveries. For they bring infamy on the youth of some, but in the course of time they decree moderate increases of substance. But if they have been found in this place by night, either they find something from which they have the greatest support of life, or no small inheritance will be conferred on them, and in the course of time they are raised up by the greatest good fortune; yet they will make them afflicted with defects in body and feeble.

〔十〕水星与木星精确地落在从上升点起的第八宫，倘若在白天的本命盘里被发现这样，会使人一生平平，从某些发现中为自己获得生计的依靠。因为它们给有些人的少年带来恶名，但随着时间推移判定资财适度的增长。但倘若它们在夜间被发现在这个宫位，他们或者找到某样东西，从中得到极大的生计依靠，或者被赐予不小的遗产，随着时间推移被极大的好运举起；但它们还会使人身体带有缺损而孱弱。

[11] Mercury and Jupiter placed in the ninth place decree those things which they decreed when placed in the third place of the nativity.

〔十一〕水星与木星落在第九宫，判定它们落在本命第三宫时所判定的那些事。

[12] Mercury and Jupiter in the tenth place from the Ascendant decree great undertakings, great administrations, and great powers, according to the measure of the nativity.

〔十二〕水星与木星在从上升点起的第十宫，按本命的分量，判定伟大的事业、伟大的行政职务与伟大的权力。

[13] Mercury and Jupiter placed partilely in the eleventh place from the Ascendant decree those things which we said they decree in the fifth place.

〔十三〕水星与木星精确地落在从上升点起的第十一宫，判定我们说过它们在第五宫所判定的那些事。

[14] Mercury and Jupiter placed together in the twelfth place from the Ascendant, if Mercury is a morning star, will make scribes of the king or of the senate, or shorthand secretaries of princes, or men who protect the greatest cities, but men who give offense greatly and frequently, and who in the last period of life are weighed down by the burden of misfortune, or who perish by a violent death, if they have been so placed in a night nativity. For in a day nativity they continue for some little while in these actions and in these offices and do not frequently give offense. But Mercury placed with Jupiter in this place as an evening star will give rather slow actions and an unfavorable fate, and some will be entangled in common or laborious actions.

〔十四〕水星与木星一同落在从上升点起的第十二宫，倘若水星是晨星，会造就君王或元老院的书记，或君主的速记秘书，或保卫最大城市的人，却是常常大大触犯他人的人，在人生的最后阶段被不幸的重担压倒，或横死，倘若它们这样落在夜间的本命盘里。因为在白天的本命盘里，他们会在这些事务与这些职位上持续一段时间，也不常触犯他人。但水星作为昏星与木星一同落在这个宫位，会给予较迟缓的事务与不利的命运，有些人还会陷入平常或劳苦的营生。

XI. Mercury and Mars.

第十一章　水星与火星

[1] If Mercury and Mars have been placed partilely in the degree of the Ascendant, in a day nativity of course, they will make men subject to the spitting of blood, sufferers from heart disease, short-lived, and unfortunate; for they will cause them to be condemned either on the occasion of women, or through the allurements of love, or through hidden writings, or for sorcery, or for forgery; and they make them perish by a violent death.

〔一〕倘若水星与火星精确地落在上升点之度，当然是在白天的本命盘里，就会使人咳血、患心脏病、短命而不幸；因为它们会使人被定罪，或因女人之故，或因爱情的诱惑，或因隐秘的文字，或因巫术，或因伪造；它们还使人横死。

[2] But if they have been found partilely in the Ascendant by night, they will make great men, overseers of great religious rites, generals, or heralds, or protectors, or guardsmen of emperors, very great administrators, on whom the greatest good fortune is conferred from the outcome of battles. But if Saturn has aspected Mercury and Mars so placed by night from a square or from opposition, it will make them men in danger and men who are very often deceived; for they are hindered in all their actions; for Saturn so placed will make men idle and without a craft, and men who are weighed down by every burden of misfortune.

〔二〕但倘若它们在夜间被发现精确地在上升点，就会造就伟大的人，重大宗教仪式的主管，将领，或传令官，或皇帝的护卫或侍卫，极大的行政官，从战事的结果中赐给他们极大的好运。但倘若土星在夜间从四分或对冲照着这样落位的水星与火星，就会使人身处危险，常常受骗；因为他们在一切事务上都受阻碍；因为这样落位的土星会使人闲散而没有技艺，被一切不幸的重担压倒。

[3] Mercury placed together with Mars in the second place from the Ascendant in a day nativity: they cause the natives to be exposed, and if they have been reared, they make them fugitives in some way; they will frequently make them exiles, at times captives too, and they will often cause them to be stripped bare by confiscation. Some they entangle in grave ailments or severe defects, others they will make die a violent death, if they have cast their rays on the Moon at full light. If they have been found so by night, they will make men of evil mind, malicious, obscure, timid, and yet bold, and men who are deceived in all their actions, but it makes their actions manifold; for they will be either tax farmers, or collectors of revenues, or government informers. Some it makes insane in mind or frenzied.

〔三〕水星与火星在白天的本命盘里一同落在从上升点起的第二宫：它们使本命之人被遗弃，倘若被养大了，也使他们以某种方式成为逃亡者；它们还常使他们被放逐，有时也成为俘虏，并常使他们因籍没而被剥夺一空。有些人它们使之陷入严重的病患或严重的缺损，另一些人它们会使之横死，倘若它们把光线投到满光的月亮上。倘若它们在夜间被发现这样，就会使人心术邪恶、恶意、默默无闻、胆怯却又鲁莽，在一切事务上受骗，但它使他们的营生多种多样；因为他们会是包税人、或税赋的征收者、或政府的密探。有些人它使之心智失常或狂乱。

[4] Mercury and Mars placed together in the third place from the Ascendant will cause the natives to have their substance of livelihood from actions involving fire or iron; and they will be such that they learn the future beforehand and always spend their time in temples; but they are fearsome to all who do business, even if they know nothing or do nothing, but men who in the course of time have increases of good fortune.

〔四〕水星与火星一同落在从上升点起的第三宫，会使本命之人从与火或铁有关的营生中得到生计资财；他们会是能预先知道未来、总在神庙里度日的人；但他们对一切做生意的人都可怕，即使他们一无所知、一事不做，却是随着时间推移好运增长的人。

[5] Mercury placed together with Mars in the fourth place from the Ascendant, that is, in the lower Midheaven, will make men sluggish, humble in all their actions and in every fortune; and they will continually carry on enmities with their parents or their relatives by marriage, so that the greatest plots are always brought against their parents or relatives by marriage through them. They will also be sureties, and from this they are shaken by the greatest dangers and come down to lowliness and poverty; and when this has happened to them, they will be authors of certain forbidden arts, or go-betweens, or, caught as accomplices in certain matters, they are entangled in the greatest snares of dangers, so that they are struck by the penalty of condemnation. Others, placed in these calamities, are overwhelmed by the onsets of a great and long sickness, especially if, so placed, they have seen the Moon from opposition or from a square. If Mercury and Mars and the Moon have been found by night in the fourth place of the nativity, it will make commanders, tribunes, generals, powerful administrators, but men who perish by a violent death.

〔五〕水星与火星一同落在从上升点起的第四宫，即地底中天，会使人迟钝，在一切事务与一切境遇中都低微；他们会与父母或姻亲不断结仇，以致总经由他们对父母或姻亲设下极大的阴谋。他们还会做保人，由此被极大的危险动摇，沦于低微与贫穷；这事临到他们时，他们会成为某些被禁技艺的创作者，或做牵线的人，或在某些事上被作为同谋者拿获，陷入极大的危险罗网，以致受定罪的刑罚打击。另一些人处于这些灾祸之中，又被一场重而久的疾病的发作压倒，尤其是倘若它们这样落位时，从对冲或四分看见月亮。倘若水星、火星与月亮在夜间被发现在本命的第四宫，就会造就统帅、军团长、将领、有权势的行政官，却是横死的人。

[6] Mercury placed partilely with Mars in the fifth place from the Ascendant: they render men strong, manly, athletes unconquered in every contest, but men who are taken to various places for the sake of a dwelling, and on whom the greatest allowances are conferred from the public treasury or from the fisc for the sake of their sustenance. And they make them superior in every contest and fearsome to their opponents.

〔六〕水星与火星精确地落在从上升点起的第五宫：它们使人强壮、有男子气，成为在每一场竞赛中都不可战胜的运动员，却是为求住处而被带到各处的人，从公库或国库领取极大的津贴作为给养。它们使他们在每一场竞赛中都占上风，令对手生畏。

[7] Mercury and Mars placed partilely in the sixth and in the 12th place from the Ascendant decree these same things in a like manner; for if they have been placed in these places by day, they decree the greatest ailments and defects. And they cause them to be placed in custody, to have acquaintance with prison, and to be condemned on some accusation or other; for they are either attacked or informed against or bound by false entrapments in crimes; for they are attacked or informed against by slaves, and through slaves, or by men of servile condition, or by those who have been placed in custody on account of some crime, and they perish with the greatest torments and with the greatest violence and cruelty, especially if, placed in these places, they have aspected the full Moon from some side.

〔七〕水星与火星精确地落在从上升点起的第六宫与第十二宫，以相同的方式判定同样的事；因为倘若它们在白天落在这些宫位，就判定极大的病患与缺损。它们使人被羁押，与牢狱相识，因这样那样的控告被定罪；因为他们或者受攻击，或者被告发，或者被诬陷的圈套牵连进罪案；因为他们受奴隶、或经由奴隶、或受奴仆身分之人、或受因某罪被羁押之人的攻击或告发，并在极大的折磨、极大的暴力与残酷中死去，尤其是倘若落在这些宫位时，它们从某一方照着满月。

[8] But if Mercury has been placed with Mars by night in the 6th or in the 12th place from the Ascendant, it makes men entangled in many debts and much interest on loans; and they will cause agitations of mind and seizures. They also render them sluggish in all their actions and decree the greatest accusations and grave envy, but such as come either from slaves or on account of slaves. Others will be torturers of slaves, so as to wear them out by hunger, or blows, or torments, or continual exactions of labor. And those who have Mercury placed with Mars in these places will never persevere in their actions, because they pass from one action to another.

〔八〕但倘若水星在夜间与火星一同落在从上升点起的第六宫或第十二宫，就使人陷入许多债务与大量借贷的利息；它们还会造成心神的激荡与发作。它们还使人在一切事务上迟钝，判定极大的控告与严重的嫉恨，却是来自奴隶或因奴隶之故。另一些人会成为折磨奴隶的人，以饥饿、或殴打、或酷刑、或不断的劳役逼索把他们消磨。在这些宫位得水星与火星同在的人，绝不会在自己的事务上坚持下去，因为他们从一件事转到另一件事。

[9] Mercury placed partilely with Mars in the seventh place from the Ascendant, that is, in the Descendant: if they have been found partilely in this place by day, they compel those who have it so to kill a woman or their own wife with their own hand, or on account of a woman, or on account of their wife, or on account of the perverse desires of some love, they will kill themselves or others, or for some such crime committed they cause them to be placed in public custody or in prison and to be condemned on this accusation.

〔九〕水星与火星精确地落在从上升点起的第七宫，即下降点：倘若它们在白天被发现精确地在这个宫位，就迫使这样得它们的人亲手杀死一个女人或自己的妻子，或因一个女人、或因妻子、或因某种爱情的悖逆欲望，杀死自己或他人，或因犯下某种这类罪行，使他们被关进公家的羁押之所或监狱，并以此罪名被定罪。

[10] But in general, whoever have Mercury and Mars so, homicides and deaths are brought to completion in their persons according to the quality of the signs; for they will be either highway robbers, or brigands, or assassins, or pirates, or the like, and, caught in these crimes, they are struck by the severe penalty of a sentence.

〔十〕但总的说来，凡这样得水星与火星的人，命案与死亡都按星座的性质在他们身上成全；因为他们或者是拦路抢劫者、或强盗、或刺客、或海盗之类，在这些罪行中被拿获，受判决的严厉刑罚打击。

[11] But placed so in a night nativity, they will cause them to be cheated by women through unjust actions, or to be joined to mannish women and to have children by them, and always to be wrapped in great vices.

〔十一〕但在夜间的本命盘里这样落位，它们会使人因不义之事被女人欺骗，或与有男子气的女人结合并由她们生子，总被大的恶习缠裹。

[12] Mercury placed partilely with Mars in the eighth place from the Ascendant, if it has been found so by day, will make men such that they can attain nothing of the things they desire, but men in danger, and men who lose their whole patrimony utterly. And some will be insane and raving; others are thrown into custody or will be condemned, and frequently they end by a violent death.

〔十二〕水星与火星精确地落在从上升点起的第八宫，倘若在白天被发现这样，会使人所欲之事一无所得，身处危险，彻底失去全部祖产。有些人会疯狂谵妄；另一些人被投入羁押或会被定罪，并常以横死告终。

[13] But if they have been found in this place by night, they will procure some resources for themselves from evil arts or evil offices, and men who grow day by day by evil and wicked actions. They will be thieves, or burglars, or men who are accustomed, with obstinate greed, to deny having things commended to them or entrusted to their good faith, or devisers or executors of wicked crimes. For they make torturers, or executioners, or betrayers of their own people, men who procure for themselves the greatest substance of fortune and resources from these arts, but death will come to them with violence or with certain grievous torments, or they die suffering from the affliction of grave insanity.

〔十三〕但倘若它们在夜间被发现在这个宫位，他们会从邪恶的技艺或邪恶的差事中为自己谋得一些资财，是靠邪恶不义之事一天天发达的人。他们会是窃贼、或入室盗贼、或惯于以顽固的贪婪抵赖交给他们或托付给他们信义之物的人，或邪恶罪行的策划者与执行者。因为它们造就施刑者、或刽子手、或出卖自己人的人，他们从这些技艺中为自己谋得极大的财富与资财，但死亡会以暴力或某些惨痛的折磨临到他们，或者他们死于严重疯狂的折磨。

[14] Mercury placed together with Mars in the ninth place from the Ascendant will make men unjust, irreligious, perjured, but with this error of mind ministers of the gods nonetheless, yet men who rob and strip these very gods whom they serve, and who make the offerings of the temples their plunder. But they do this most of all if they have been found far from the rays of the Sun, or in each other's degrees, or in the house of the Sun [lacuna] these things will be stronger [text uncertain], if, with them so placed, the Moon, full of light, has joined itself to them from a square or from opposition.

〔十四〕水星与火星一同落在从上升点起的第九宫，会使人不义、不敬神、发伪誓，却带着这种心智的迷误仍做诸神的仆役，又抢劫剥夺他们所侍奉的那些神，把神庙的献礼当作自己的掠获。但倘若它们被发现远离太阳的光线，或在彼此的度数里，或在太阳的庙里，它们最会这样做〔此处原文有缺〕这些就会更强〔原文疑有讹误〕，倘若它们这样落位时，光满的月亮从四分或对冲与它们相结。

[15] Mars and Mercury placed together in the tenth place from the Ascendant make men wretched and ineffective; and they will delight in continual voyages and will be lovers of the wrestling schools, and men who sell their life to powerful men or kings on account of some vice. And they will always have some blemish or defect, according to the quality and substance of the signs.

〔十五〕火星与水星一同落在从上升点起的第十宫，会使人困苦而无所作为；他们会喜好不断的航行，爱好角力学校，为某种恶习把自己的生命卖给有权势者或君王。他们还会按星座的性质与实质，总带着某种污点或缺损。

[16] But Mercury placed together with Mars always places the natives in public actions, or in administrations, or in occupations, but they never persevere in these actions for long stretches of time; for, being either attacked or accused, they are removed, and frequently they are brought into the courts, and at times they are overwhelmed by false accusations; and from these misfortunes their patrimonies are so squandered that they are shaken by heavy interest on loans; and through some pledge or surety too they are overwhelmed by grave kinds of losses or condemnations.

〔十六〕但水星与火星同在，总把本命之人安置在公共事务、或行政职务、或差事之中，但他们在这些事务上绝不会长久坚持；因为或者受攻击、或者被控告，他们就被撤去，还常被带上法庭，有时被诬告压倒；由于这些不幸，他们的祖产被挥霍到这般地步，以致被沉重的借贷利息动摇；还因某种抵押或担保而被严重的损失或定罪压倒。

[17] But if Jupiter has joined itself in some association of testimony to Mercury and Mars placed together, or if it has been found together with them, it will make men great in all their actions and occupations, men to whom many affairs are entrusted, and who in like manner both lose and gain substance. But if Venus has joined itself to them by some aspect, or if it has been found together with them, it will make collectors for the emperors who demand the yearly payments to the fisc, auditors, fiscal officers, and men who are accustomed to handle great business.

〔十七〕但倘若木星以某种见证的结伴与一同落位的水星和火星相结，或被发现与它们同在，就会使人在一切事务与差事上伟大，受托许多事务，同样既失去资财又得到资财。但倘若金星以某种相位与它们相结，或被发现与它们同在，就会造就替皇帝催缴每年交给国库之款的征收者、查账员、财务官员，以及惯于经办大生意的人。

[18] But Mercury with Mars decrees different and manifold kinds of actions or administrations; for this variety arises according to the quality and substance of the signs. For placed in the house of Mercury or in its degrees, they make lovers of the wrestling school or athletes destined for public contests. But placed in the signs of Mars or in its degrees, they render men fond of fighting, lovers of arms, soldiers, hunters, men who willingly rear wild beasts, and overseers of wild beasts, messengers or couriers of kings. But placed in the house of Venus or in its degrees, they make linen-weavers, weavers of tunics, embroiderers, dyers, men who deal in some way in spices, or gems, or pearls.

〔十八〕但水星与火星同在，判定不同而多样的事务或行政职务；因为这种多样随星座的性质与实质而生。因为落在水星的庙或它的度数里，它们造就爱好角力学校的人，或注定参加公共竞赛的运动员。但落在火星的星座或它的度数里，它们使人好斗、爱好兵器，做士兵、猎人、乐于豢养野兽的人与野兽的主管、君王的信使或驿使。但落在金星的庙或它的度数里，它们造就麻布织工、短衣织工、刺绣匠、染工，以某种方式经营香料、或宝石、或珍珠的人。

But placed in the house of Jupiter or in its degrees they make overseers, tribunes, and men holding regions or certain cities; placed in the house of Saturn or in its degrees, men handling wicked and criminal offices; for they will make torturers, executioners, murderers, informers, betrayers of their own people. But in the house of the Sun or of the Moon, they make bronze-workers, ironworkers, makers of statues, furriers, dyers of leather, men who seek the supports of life from fire or from iron. For the change of signs decrees the conduct of different kinds of business.

但落在木星的庙或它的度数里，造就主管、军团长、据有地区或某些城市的人；落在土星的庙或它的度数里，造就经办邪恶与罪恶差事的人；因为它们会造就施刑者、刽子手、杀人者、告密者、出卖自己人的人。但落在太阳或月亮的庙里，它们造就铜匠、铁匠、造像匠、皮货匠、皮革染工，以及从火或铁中谋求生计依靠的人。因为星座的变换判定不同生意的营生。

[19] Mercury placed together with Mars in the eleventh place will make men always perish in battle; others it will make lovers of the wrestling school, others lovers of arms, but men strong in counsel, and men who always receive fortunate advancement from all their actions.

〔十九〕水星与火星一同落在第十一宫，会使人总在战斗中丧生；另一些人它会使之爱好角力学校，另一些人爱好兵器，却在谋略上有力，总从一切事务中得到顺遂的进展。

[20] What Mercury and Mars do when placed in the twelfth place from the Ascendant, the sixth place has shown specifically.

〔二十〕水星与火星落在从上升点起的第十二宫所做的，第六宫已经具体说明了。
