第八章

On the Blind, the Feeble, and the Defective; You Have More Below as Well.

论失明者、体弱者与有残缺者；下文也还有

[1] If the Sun has been found in the Ascendant, and the Moon in the Midheaven, while both malefics are so divided that one holds the succedent of the Sun and the other that of the Moon, and the benefic planets are foreign to these, they will make men blind or impaired in their eyes. And also if the Moon has been joined with the Sun in a synodic aspect, and they are placed in the succedents or in the epicataphoras of the angles, while Saturn and Mars are placed partilely in the angles, the defect of blindness is inflicted on the eyes.

〔一〕倘若太阳落在上升点，月亮在中天，而两颗凶星这样分开，以致一颗占住太阳的续宫、另一颗占住月亮的续宫，吉星又与它们无涉，就会造就失明的人或眼睛受损的人。又倘若月亮以会合的相位与太阳相结，它们落在诸角的续宫或埃皮卡塔福拉，而土星与火星精确到度地落在诸角，就会给眼睛加上失明的缺陷。

[2] And also always, as a general rule, if the Sun and the Moon are placed in the succedent of the malefics, they cause a defect to be inflicted on the eyes. If the Sun and the Moon, joined in a synodic aspect, have been placed in some angle, and Mars, placed in the same place, is joined to them by a partile aspect, the defect of blindness is inflicted on the eyes.

〔二〕又总是，作为一般的规则，倘若太阳与月亮落在凶星的续宫，就使眼睛受到缺陷。倘若以会合的相位相结的太阳与月亮落在某个角，而落在同一处的火星以精确到度的相位与它们相结，就会给眼睛加上失明的缺陷。

[3] And also if the Sun and the Moon have been found in the Ascendant, and Mars is placed in the 7th place from the Ascendant, and the benefic planets do not aspect the Sun and the Moon by any aspect, a defect is inflicted on the eyes. And also if the Sun has been found partilely with Saturn in the Ascendant, and Mars aspects them by either a square or an opposite aspect, a defect is likewise inflicted on the eyes.

〔三〕又倘若太阳与月亮落在上升点，而火星落在从上升点起的第七宫，吉星又不以任何相位照着太阳与月亮，就会给眼睛加上缺陷。又倘若太阳与土星精确到度地同在上升点，而火星以四分或对冲照着它们，也同样会给眼睛加上缺陷。

[4] But if the benefic planets aspect these, so arranged, from a superior place with a favorable aspect, the blindness will be cured either by the protection of a deity or by the intervention of medicine. If, with Saturn placed in the Ascendant, the Moon is placed in the 8th place from the Ascendant, or if, with the Moon placed in the Ascendant, Saturn is placed in the 8th place from the Ascendant, it blinds the eyes by the defect of cataract.

〔四〕但倘若吉星从居上的位置以顺遂的相位照着这样排列的它们，失明会借神灵的庇护或医药的介入而治愈。倘若土星落在上升点时，月亮落在从上升点起的第八宫，或者月亮落在上升点时，土星落在从上升点起的第八宫，就以白内障的缺陷使眼睛失明。

[5] And also if the Sun has been with Mars or with Mercury in the 7th place from the Ascendant, they make men one-eyed, but such as at some time will commit the crime of homicide. If the Sun has been placed partilely in some angle, with Saturn or Mars placed in its succedent, the right eye will be impaired. But if the Moon has been placed in an angle, and Saturn or Mars in its succedent, the left eye suffers this same thing.

〔五〕又倘若太阳与火星或与水星同在从上升点起的第七宫，就会造就独眼的人，但这种人日后某时会犯下杀人之罪。倘若太阳精确到度地落在某个角，而土星或火星落在它的续宫，右眼会受损。但倘若月亮落在某个角，而土星或火星在它的续宫，左眼会遭受同样的事。

[6] But if the Sun and the Moon have been found placed together in an angle, or, placed in different angles, aspect each other by either an opposite or a square aspect, and the malefics occupy the succedents of both, that is, of the Sun and of the Moon, the defect of blindness is inflicted on both eyes.

〔六〕但倘若太阳与月亮同在一个角，或者落在不同的角，彼此以对冲或四分相照，而凶星占住两者即太阳与月亮的续宫，就会给双眼加上失明的缺陷。

[7] But if, with these placed as we have said, Mercury is placed either in the angles or in the succedents or in the epicataphoras of the angles, it makes men feeble, captives, and dying a violent death. But if, with these placed as we have said, Saturn or Mars aspects Jupiter from a superior place, they will make gladiators, but such as are transferred to this end as condemned men.

〔七〕但倘若这些如我们所说落定，而水星落在诸角，或在诸角的续宫或埃皮卡塔福拉，就会造就体弱的人、俘虏与横死的人。但倘若这些如我们所说落定，而土星或火星从居上的位置照着木星，就会造就角斗士，但却是作为被定罪的人而被送到这种结局的。

On the Lame and the Paralytic.

论跛足者与瘫痪者

[8] If Mars has been placed partilely in some angle, and Saturn is either in its succedent or placed in another angle, and both aspect the Moon by either a square or an opposite aspect, or if she is joined with one of them in the same sign in an equal association of degrees, they will become either lame or paralytic.

〔八〕倘若火星精确到度地落在某个角，而土星或在它的续宫、或落在另一个角，两颗都以四分或对冲照着月亮，或者月亮在同一个星座里以相等度数的结伴与其中一颗相结，他们会变得跛足或瘫痪。

[9] And also if Saturn is placed in some angle, while Mars is placed in its succedent, and either Mars or Saturn sees the Moon, they bring about this same thing in like manner. For, either thrown down from a height or from a four-footed animal, or entangled in perils of this kind, they will suffer injuries to their bodies.

〔九〕又倘若土星落在某个角，而火星落在它的续宫，火星或土星又看见月亮，它们同样会造成这同一件事。因为他们或者从高处、或者从四足兽身上被摔下，或者卷进这一类的危险，身体会遭受损伤。

第九章

How You May Find Which of the Parents Will Die First.

怎样求出父母中哪一位先死

[1] In whosesoever nativity the Sun has been badly placed, or the lord of the sign in which the Sun has been found, the father will perish first; but if the Moon has suffered this, the mother. What we mean is this. If the Ascendant has been found in Aries and the Sun in Aquarius, and the lord of the Sun's sign, that is, Saturn, is impaired in Pisces or in the signs square to Pisces, then for this reason the father of this nativity will perish first, because the Sun has fallen in the place of one impaired, malefic, and a slayer. If this has happened to the Moon, we say that the mother perishes first.

〔一〕无论在谁的本命盘里，太阳落得不好，或太阳所在星座的主星落得不好，父亲会先死；但倘若月亮遭受了这种情形，就是母亲。我们所说的是这样：倘若上升点落在白羊，太阳落在水瓶，而太阳所在星座的主星即土星，在双鱼或在与双鱼成四分的星座里受损，那么因此这个本命的父亲会先死，因为太阳落在了一颗受损的、凶的、作杀者的星的位置上。倘若这种情形发生在月亮身上，我们就说母亲先死。

[2] But if, with these arranged as we have said, Mars aspects Saturn by a square aspect, the father will perish by a violent death at the command or through the anger of the emperor. But if, with these arranged as we have said, Jupiter has been found in the angles, the misfortunes of the father are mitigated, but only if in a day nativity it aspects the Sun, and in a night nativity the Moon. For if in a night nativity the Moon has suffered what we have said, the mother will likewise perish. And these evils grow stronger still, with these arranged as we have said, if the benefic planets are either in the cast-down places or hidden by the rays of the Sun.

〔二〕但倘若这些如我们所说排列，而火星以四分照着土星，父亲会遵皇帝之命或因皇帝之怒而横死。但倘若这些如我们所说排列，而木星落在诸角，父亲的不幸会减轻，不过只限于白天的本命盘里它照着太阳、夜间的本命盘里它照着月亮。因为倘若在夜间的本命盘里月亮遭受了我们所说的情形，母亲同样会死去。而这些凶祸还会更加强烈，倘若这些如我们所说排列，而吉星或在低陷的宫位，或被太阳的光线遮住。

[3] If Mars aspects the Sun, placed in some angle, by either an opposite or a square aspect, or if it has been set with it in the same sign in an equal association of degree, the father will perish by a violent death at the command of the emperor. But if, with the Sun so arranged, Saturn has been joined to it by the same aspect as Mars, the father will perish either in water, or from humors, or by poison. If the Sun has been found in the succedent of the Ascendant, and Mars aspects it by a square aspect, the father will perish spitting up blood.

〔三〕倘若火星以对冲或四分照着落在某个角的太阳，或以相等度数的结伴与它同在一个星座，父亲会遵皇帝之命而横死。但倘若太阳这样排列，而土星以与火星相同的相位与它相结，父亲会死在水里，或死于体液，或死于毒药。倘若太阳落在上升点的续宫，而火星以四分照着它，父亲会咳着血死去。

[4] And also if the Sun has been found in the 6th place from the Ascendant, or in the 3rd, or in the 12th, and the malefic planets aspect it by a square aspect, or if they have been found with it, the end of an evil death is inflicted on the father. But if, with the Sun arranged as we have said, the ray of Saturn has come to it through a square, or if Saturn has been found with it, the father will perish of hidden and latent diseases, that is, of dysentery, consumption, and other diseases of this kind.

〔四〕又倘若太阳落在从上升点起的第六、第三或第十二宫，而凶星以四分照着它，或与它同在，父亲就会遭到恶死的结局。但倘若太阳如我们所说排列，而土星的光线从四分来到它那里，或土星与它同在，父亲会死于隐藏潜伏的疾病，即痢疾、肺痨以及这一类的其他疾病。

[5] And also if the Sun has been found in the Descendant, and Mars and Saturn in the lower Midheaven, they bring about this same thing for the father in like manner. But if the Moon has been arranged as we have said of the Sun, and has been struck by this aspect of the malefic planets, the mother will suffer a similar end. But in all these mixtures we ought to gather the aspects of the benefic planets with careful reckoning.

〔五〕又倘若太阳落在下降点，而火星与土星在天底，它们同样给父亲造成这同一件事。但倘若月亮如我们所说太阳那样排列，又受到凶星这种相位的打击，母亲会遭受相似的结局。但在这一切混合之中，我们都应当以细心的计算汇集吉星的相位。

[6] For if, the rest being arranged as we have said, Jupiter and Venus, placed either in the angles or in suitable places of the nativity, have aspected the Sun with a favorable aspect, the preceding misfortune of the father is mitigated; if the Moon, that of the mother. But if, while a benefic planet is giving aid and is placed as we have said, the lord of the sign in which the benefic planet is placed has been found with the malefic planets or with the Sun, namely in the preceding fall we have mentioned, the misfortunes foretold for the father or the mother grow stronger still.

〔六〕因为倘若其余如我们所说排列，而落在诸角或本命合宜的宫位的木星与金星，以顺遂的相位照着太阳，父亲前述的不幸就会减轻；倘若照着月亮，减轻的是母亲的不幸。但倘若在一颗吉星给予帮助、又如我们所说落定时，这颗吉星所在星座的主星与凶星或与太阳同在，即落在我们前面提到的落之中，对父亲或母亲预言的不幸还会更加强烈。

[7] But frequently, when Jupiter in its transit has come to Mars in the nativity, or if it has seen it by a square aspect, death will be brought to the father. Saturn in its transit will do this same thing if it aspects the Sun placed in the nativity by a square or an opposite aspect. But if Saturn in its transit has done this to the Moon, the mother will die; yet this happens not always, but when the reckoning of time has required it, according to the dominions of the planets which we have treated before.

〔七〕但常常是，当行运中的木星来到本命盘里的火星，或以四分看见它时，死亡就会降到父亲身上。行运中的土星倘若以四分或对冲照着本命盘里的太阳，也会做这同一件事。但倘若行运中的土星对月亮做了这件事，母亲会死去；然而这不是每次都发生，而是当时间的推算要求它的时候，依照我们前面讲过的诸星的主权。

[8] But if you wish to find this partilely, [lacuna] to work through; for it is hidden from you, and they show it as proven by many kinds of test [text uncertain]. If it is a day nativity, count from the Sun up to the Moon all the signs that are placed in order, and however great the number of signs collected, count that many again from the Ascendant; and if the number of the last sign has been found in a masculine sign, the father will perish first, but if in a feminine, the mother.

〔八〕但倘若你想精确地求出这一点，〔此处原文有缺〕去仔细推究；因为它对你是隐藏的，而他们以许多种检验显示它已被证实〔原文疑有讹误〕。倘若是白天的本命盘，就从太阳数到月亮之间依次排列的一切星座，汇集的星座数目有多大，就再从上升点数出同样的数目；倘若最后一个星座的数落在阳性星座，父亲会先死，倘若落在阴性星座，就是母亲。

[9] In a night nativity this same thing is gathered by a changed method. If, then, it is a night nativity, beginning from the Moon, count up to the Sun likewise all the signs that are placed in order, and however great the number of signs, count that many beginning from the Ascendant; and if the last number has been found in a feminine sign, the father will perish first, but if in a masculine, the mother; for it shows one thing in a day nativity and another in a night nativity.

〔九〕在夜间的本命盘里，这同一件事以改变了的方法求得。所以倘若是夜间的本命盘，就从月亮开始，同样数到太阳之间依次排列的一切星座，星座的数目有多大，就从上升点开始数出同样的数目；倘若最后的数落在阴性星座，父亲会先死，倘若落在阳性星座，就是母亲；因为它在白天的本命盘里显示一回事，在夜间的本命盘里显示另一回事。

[10] And also if the Sun and the Moon have been found in masculine signs, with the Ascendant placed in a masculine sign, while either Mars or Saturn holds the Midheaven, the father will perish first. But if the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant are likewise placed in feminine signs, and Mars or Saturn has been found in the Midheaven, the mother will perish first. But this is rejected both by us and by very many others. That, however, which is gathered by the preceding computation shows the death by true methods.

〔十〕又倘若太阳与月亮落在阳性星座，上升点也落在阳性星座，而火星或土星占住中天，父亲会先死。但倘若太阳、月亮与上升点同样落在阴性星座，而火星或土星落在中天，母亲会先死。但这一条被我们和很多别人所否定。然而由前面的计算所求得的，以真实的方法显示死亡。
