第十五章

The Moon Flowing Away from Saturn.

月亮离开土星

[1] If the Moon, flowing away from Saturn, is moving toward no planet but directs its course through the void, and is waxing or full of light, it squanders the patrimony by wretched depredation and causes them to be estranged from their parents, or, the parents having been slain, renders them orphans in early life; very often it makes them sluggish, or keeps them occupied in far-off journeys abroad.

〔一〕倘若月亮从土星流离，不行向任何行星，而是在空处引导自己的运行，而它盈长或光满，就以可悲的劫掠散失祖产，使人与父母疏远，或父母被杀，使人在早年成为孤儿；它常使人懒散，或使他们忙于远方的旅居异乡。

[2] But if it is diminished in light, it will cause continual cold about the belly, men whom the Greeks call psychrocoelioi, and men suffering from countless ailments of phlegm, lean, splenetic, dysenteric, dropsical, phlegmatic, or suffering from painful urination, and tormented by the hidden pains of ailments; but it decrees these things according to the quality of the signs.

〔二〕但倘若它光减，就会造成腹部不断的寒冷，希腊人称这种人为冷腹者，又使人苦于无数黏液之病，消瘦、患脾病、患痢疾、患水肿、多黏液，或小便疼痛，被病患隐秘的疼痛折磨；但它依星座的性质判定这些事。

The Moon Flowing Away from Jupiter.

月亮离开木星

[3] If the Moon, flowing away from Jupiter, is moving toward no planet and directs its course through the void, if it is full of light, it will make men wanderers abroad in continual travelling, poor, and such as lose all the ornaments of good fortune with the passing of time; but if it is diminished in light, it makes men exposed at birth, captives, men whose life is weighed down by the burden of slavery. Some will be entangled in defects and illnesses, others it makes short-lived.

〔三〕倘若月亮从木星流离，不行向任何行星，在空处引导自己的运行，倘若它光满，就会使人以不断的出行漂泊异乡，贫穷，随着时间的推移失去好运的一切饰物；但倘若它光减，就造就出生即被遗弃的人、俘虏，以及一生被奴役的重担压下的人。有些人会缠于缺损与疾病，另一些人它使之短命。

The Moon Flowing Away from Mars.

月亮离开火星

[4] If the Moon, flowing away from Mars, is moving toward no planet but directs its course through the void, and is full of light, it squanders the patrimony and destroys the parents at the first step of life, or brings upon them some defect or the peril of an evil death; the natives themselves it either hurls down from high places, or decrees for them dangers from four-footed beasts or the greatest defects or illnesses; others it makes die a violent death by public execution.

〔四〕倘若月亮从火星流离，不行向任何行星，而是在空处引导自己的运行，而它光满，就会散失祖产，在人生的第一级台阶上毁掉父母，或给他们带来某种缺损或恶死之险；对本命之人自己，它或从高处把他们抛下，或判定来自四足野兽的危险，或判定极大的缺损或疾病；另一些人它使之受公开处决而横死。

[5] But if, diminished in light and flowing away from Mars, it is moving toward no planet, it either causes them to be estranged and separated from their family and squanders their patrimonies by various depredations, or gives them toilsome arts, so that they are always busied about fire and iron, or it makes them wretched soldiers.

〔五〕但倘若光减，从火星流离而不行向任何行星，它就或使人与自己的家族疏远分离，并以种种劫掠散失他们的祖产，或给予劳苦的技艺，以致他们总围着火与铁打转，或使他们做可悲的军人。

The Moon Flowing Away from the Sun.

月亮离开太阳

[6] If the Moon, flowing away from the Sun, is moving toward no planet but directs its course through the void, it will make men poor, unfortunate, wanderers abroad, unsettled, always lingering in servile activities; others, striving after various activities, it causes to abandon what they have undertaken through various kinds of despair; but with the passing of time the perils of this misfortune are softened, and the wretched outcome of their present calamities is in some measure changed; the burden of poverty laid aside, a small support of life is procured for them, and they are compelled to strive after some activities.

〔六〕倘若月亮从太阳流离，不行向任何行星，而是在空处引导自己的运行，就会使人贫穷、不幸、漂泊异乡、居无定所，总滞留在奴仆的作为中；另一些人致力于种种作为，它却使之因种种绝望而放弃已经着手的事；但随着时间的推移，这种不幸的危险得到缓和，眼前灾祸的可悲结局在某种程度上有所改变；贫穷的重担卸下，为他们谋得微薄的生计依靠，他们也被迫去致力于某些作为。

The Moon Flowing Away from Venus.

月亮离开金星

[7] If the Moon, flowing away from Venus, waxing in light, is moving toward no planet but directs its course through the void, it will make men passive in intercourse, who never persevere in love for their wives and who delight in incestuous embraces; but these same men it makes destitute and poor, men who, putting their shoulders under labors, seek the supports of daily life. But if it is diminished in light, it makes men defective, base, poor, and weighed down by a continual burden of miseries, or always applies them to dishonorable and wretched arts.

〔七〕倘若月亮从金星流离，光正盈长，不行向任何行星，而是在空处引导自己的运行，就会使人在交合中处于被动，对妻子的爱永不持久，喜好乱伦的拥抱；但这些人它也使之一无所有、贫穷，以肩膀承受劳作，谋求每日生活的依靠。但倘若它光减，就使人有缺损、卑贱、贫穷，被不断的苦难重担压着，或总使他们从事不光彩而可悲的技艺。

The Moon Flowing Away from Mercury.

月亮离开水星

[8] If the Moon, flowing away from Mercury, is moving toward no planet but directs its course through the void, and is full of light, it will make grammarians, orators, physicians, musicians, and men who know the courses of the heavenly stars by skill in calculation, or men who handle the business of money-lending and trade, and on these grounds they attain glory and substance, but with the passing of time.

〔八〕倘若月亮从水星流离，不行向任何行星，而是在空处引导自己的运行，而它光满，就会造就文法学家、演说家、医师、乐师，以及凭计算的技巧知晓天上星辰运行的人，或经办放贷与贸易之事的人，凭这些机缘他们得到荣耀与资财，但要随着时间的推移。

[9] But if it is diminished in light, it decrees defects from the humors or imposes a grave peril of dangers from waters; to some it does harm in the mind, the tongues of others it binds, the ears of others it harms, but all these it will make strangers to letters; others it will cause to prophesy, but in temples, others it consigns to the everlasting guarding of temples, others it makes attendants and slaves of temples.

〔九〕但倘若它光减，就判定来自体液的缺损，或加上来自水的严重危险；对有些人它伤害心智，另一些人它束缚其舌，另一些人它伤害其耳，但所有这些人它都会使之与文字无缘；另一些人它会使之预言，但是在神庙里，另一些人它交付给神庙永久的看守，另一些人它使之做神庙的侍从与奴仆。

第十六章

[1] Now all the kinds of effects must be explained that the Moon brings about by its swift course, so that we may be seen to have explained everything both partilely and in general.

〔一〕现在必须解释月亮以其迅速的运行所造成的一切种类的效应，好让我们显得既精确到度地、又总体地解释了一切。

[2] If the Moon has applied itself to Saturn, it makes the parents wretched; but if it has joined itself to Mars, it humbles both parents and decrees miseries for the father. If it is moving from Mars to Saturn, that is, if Mars and Saturn have occupied both its sides, sacred [probably: disease, i.e. epilepsy, it decrees] [lacuna]. But if it is moving from Saturn to Mars, it does these same things moderately; and it decrees ailments for women when Saturn has assailed the Moon with its rays. It makes men lunatic when the figure or configuration of the Moon is likened in resemblance to Saturn and Mars, with Jupiter and Venus situated in alien signs; for if Jupiter and Venus have aspected with a good aspect all these conjunctions or separations through which wretched ends are decreed for men, the outcome of the evils decreed and of wretched calamity is softened.

〔二〕倘若月亮趋附土星，就使父母困苦；但倘若它与火星相结，就使父母双方卑微，并判定父亲的苦难。倘若它从火星行向土星，即倘若火星与土星占住了它的两侧，神圣的〔推测：病，即癫痫〕〔此处原文有缺〕。但倘若它从土星行向火星，就以中等的程度造成同样的事；而当土星以光线攻击月亮时，它判定妇女的疾病。当月亮的形状或构形在相似上与土星和火星相比拟时，而木星与金星落在不相干的星座里，它就使人患月狂病；因为倘若木星与金星以良好的相位照着所有这些判定人可悲结局的会合或离开，所判定之恶与可悲灾祸的结局就得到缓和。

[3] The native will be fortunate, and exceedingly fortunate, and with all good fortune the Moon also decrees the ornament of chastity, if in the places in which it rejoices, without the hostile aspect of Mars or Saturn, it has joined itself by aspect to Jupiter and Venus, or to one of the two. For then it decrees good fortune, then substance, then honors, then all the ornaments of life. It rejoices, adorned with the conjunctions of Jupiter or of Venus, either in the Ascendant, or in the fifth place from the Ascendant, or in the 11th place from the Ascendant. And in the eighth place of the nativity too, in a night nativity, and in the signs in which it rejoices, having obtained the testimony of Jupiter or of Venus, it decrees the greatest good fortune.

〔三〕本命之人会幸运，而且极其幸运，月亮还在一切好运之外判定贞洁的饰物，倘若它在自己喜乐的宫位，没有火星或土星的敌意相位，以相位与木星和金星、或二者之一相结。因为那时它判定好运，那时判定资财，那时判定荣誉，那时判定人生的一切饰物。它以木星或金星的会合为饰而喜乐，或在上升点，或在从上升点起的第五宫，或在从上升点起的第十一宫。在本命的第八宫也是如此，在夜间的本命盘里，在它喜乐的星座里，得到木星或金星的见证，它就判定极大的好运。

[4] Whatever place in the nativity, then, you wish to treat, whether of nature, or of upbringing, or of family, or of parents, or of brothers, or of marriage, or of offspring, or the last day of life, inspect carefully the course, the conjunctions, and the separations of the Moon, its longitudes and altitudes, and which planets receive its conjunctions.

〔四〕所以，无论你想处理本命盘的哪一处，无论是天性、或养育、或家族、或父母、或兄弟、或婚姻、或子嗣，或人生的最后一日，都要仔细察看月亮的运行、会合与离开，它的经度与高度，以及哪些行星接住它的会合。

[5] We must therefore watch in every nativity that the Sun does not receive the conjunction of the Moon as it comes toward it; for after the Moon, receding from opposition to the Sun, has begun to feel the losses of its light, hastening toward the conjunction, in whatever figure of its light it may be, it decrees destruction according to the measure of each figure. For if its aspect is strong, it decrees strong evils and the ruin of great misfortunes; if the aspect is middling, the outcome of the evils is tempered.

〔五〕所以在每个本命盘里，我们都必须留意，不让太阳接住朝它而来的月亮的会合；因为月亮离开与太阳的对冲、开始感到自身光的亏损、赶往合朔之后，无论它的光处于何种形状，都依各种形状的分量判定毁坏。因为倘若它的相位强，就判定强烈的恶与大不幸的毁灭；倘若相位居中，恶的结局就得到缓和。

[6] But if, waning, it has come up to the very rays of the Sun and is in some way glued to its very orb, and, snatched from the sight of men, does not appear, then it decrees more powerful evils, then the ruin of all calamities, in accordance with those effects that we noted in the preceding part of this book.

〔六〕但倘若它亏缺，已走到太阳的光线本身，在某种程度上黏着在太阳的日轮上，从人的视线中被夺走而不显现，那时它就判定更强的恶，那时判定一切灾祸的毁灭，依照我们在本书前面部分标出的那些论断。

[7] But if the Moon, freed from the conjunctions of the Sun, has by day joined itself to Saturn while Saturn is adding to the numbers of its course, it decrees increases of great goods and of great good fortune. And if it has joined itself to Jupiter by a similar aspect, insignia of good fortune beyond measure and of all goods beyond measure are conferred; for he will be fortunate, and exceedingly fortunate, in whose nativity the Moon is found so with Jupiter.

〔七〕但倘若月亮脱离了与太阳的会合，在白天与正在增加其行程之数的土星相结，就判定大善与大好运的增长。倘若它以同样的相位与木星相结，就授予无以复加的好运与无以复加的一切善的徽章；因为凡本命盘里月亮这样与木星在一起的人，都会幸运，而且极其幸运。

[8] But if it is found with Mars in the way we have said, it decrees the ruin of great evils; for they will, according to the nature of the signs, die a violent death; but these evils are moderately softened if Mars is found in a feminine sign. But if it is joined with Venus by this aspect in the Midheaven or in the lower Midheaven, it decrees good marriages, especially if it is free from the conjunctions of Mars. But if this conjunction is in other places of the nativity, they decree a good life indeed, but the natives lie with their own kinsmen by marriage.

〔八〕但倘若它照我们所说的方式与火星在一起，就判定大恶的毁灭；因为他们会依星座的性质横死；但倘若火星被发现在阴性星座，这些恶就得到适度的缓和。但倘若它以这种相位与金星在中天或天底相结，就判定良好的婚姻，尤其是倘若它远离火星的会合。但倘若这次会合在本命的其余宫位，它们判定的确是良好的生活，但本命之人与自己的姻亲交合。

[9] But if Mars has seen this conjunction, it decrees unlawful intercourse with wretched desire. But if this conjunction is with Mercury, it decrees with continual regularity countless defects and unheard-of evils. Hence we ought to pray and beseech with the most earnest entreaties that the Moon may never join itself to Mercury by this aspect.

〔九〕但倘若火星看见这次会合，就判定带着可悲欲望的不法交合。但倘若这次会合是与水星的，就以不断的规律判定无数缺损与闻所未闻的恶。因此我们应当以最恳切的祈求祷告，愿月亮永不以这种相位与水星相结。

[10] But if by night the Moon, diminished in light, has joined itself to Saturn while Saturn is retrograde or making its station, it decrees the troubles of great misfortunes; some, according to the nature of the signs or according to the power of the places, die a violent death; but these misfortunes are in some measure softened if Saturn is found in a feminine sign.

〔十〕但倘若在夜间，光减的月亮与逆行或停留的土星相结，就判定大不幸的困扰；有些人依星座的性质或依宫位的力量横死；但倘若土星被发现在阴性星座，这些不幸在某种程度上得到缓和。

[11] But if by night it has joined itself to Jupiter by this aspect, the native will abound in all goods. And if it is joined to Mars by a similar aspect, it decrees the insignia of great good fortune; but these become greater if Mars is adding to its numbers. But if it joins itself to Venus by this aspect, either in the Midheaven, or in the fifth or in the 11th place from the Ascendant, or in the Ascendant itself, things will be good in the matter of marriage, if Saturn has struck them with no aspect. And they will be more fortunate if Venus, retrograde, [lacuna] from the principal places will do harm, and very often makes them consumptive; but it decrees good things more strongly when this conjunction takes place by night; whereas in a day nativity the good things are diminished and all the evils increase, from these planets, of course.

〔十一〕但倘若在夜间它以这种相位与木星相结，本命之人会富于一切善。倘若它以同样的相位与火星相结，就判定大好运的徽章；而倘若火星正在增加其行数，这些就更大。但倘若它以这种相位与金星相结，或在中天，或在从上升点起的第五宫或第十一宫，或在上升点本身，在婚姻之事上就会好，倘若土星没有以任何相位打击它们。而倘若金星逆行，他们会更幸运〔此处原文有缺〕从主要宫位会造成伤害，并常使人患痨病；但当这次会合在夜间时，它判定的好事更强；而在白天的本命盘里，好事减少，一切恶增加，当然是来自这些行星的。

[12] Now that the course of the Moon has been explained and shown with careful reasoning, let the aim of our discourse pass over to the definition of the work we promised, namely to the explanation of Fortune; for we cannot explain the whole substance of fate unless this place has been gathered with the most careful reasoning. For just as in the case of the Ascendant we ask which planet is in that same place, which is setting, which is in the Midheaven, which in the lower Midheaven, which in the other places, and where, too, the lord of the very sign in which the Ascendant is placed is situated, so we ought to gather the place of Fortune by a similar method. Where the place of Fortune is I shall show by an easy method; and when you have found it, by inspecting the associations and aspects of all the planets you will be able to explain this whole place with true and faithful judgment.

〔十二〕月亮的运行既已解释，并以细致的道理显示出来，现在让我们论述的意图转到所许诺之作的界定，即对幸运的解释；因为除非以最细致的道理汇集这一处，我们就无法解释命运的全部实质。因为正如在上升点上，我们要问哪颗行星在同一处，哪颗在下降，哪颗在中天，哪颗在天底，哪颗在其余宫位，还有上升点所在的那个星座的主星本身落在哪里，同样我们也应当以类似的方法汇集幸运之宫。幸运之宫在哪里，我将以简便的方法显示；而当你找到它时，察看所有行星的结伴与相位，你就能以真实而可信的判断解释这整个宫位。
