卷二·第九至十三章　晨昏之度、星座性质、上升年数、风与十二分部

IX. At What Degrees the Planets Become Morning or Evening Stars.

第九章　论诸星在多少度成为晨星或昏星

[1] For we shall explain on what principle they become evening stars and on what principle morning stars. The star of Saturn, when it has drawn 15 degrees away from the Sun, that is, when it has risen going before it, is a morning star. In the same way Jupiter too, drawing 12 degrees away, makes a morning rising, and Venus at 8. Mars too, going before and placed at the 8th degree, becomes a morning star. Mercury, going before and placed at the 18th degree, is a morning star. They are evening stars when, placed at this same number of degrees, they have followed the Sun.

〔一〕因为我们要说明它们按什么道理成为昏星，又按什么道理成为晨星。土星之星离开太阳十五度时，也就是走在太阳前面升起时，是晨星。同样，木星离开十二度时也作晨升，金星在八度。火星也是这样，走在前面、处在第八度时，成为晨星。水星走在前面、处在第十八度时，是晨星。它们处在同样的度数而跟随太阳时，便是昏星。

X. On the Characters and Nature of the Signs.

第十章　论星座的性情与本性

[1] Now we must explain the nature, forms, quality, substances, and ascensions of the twelve signs, so that we may impart the whole knowledge of this art as fully as possible through clear expositions.

〔一〕现在我们必须说明十二星座的本性、形状、性质、实质与上升，好借着明白的讲解，尽可能完整地传授这门技艺的全部学识。

[2] Aries is a sign in the heavens that is masculine, equinoctial, solstitial, royal, fiery, woolly, four-footed, corporeal, with languid eyes, wandering, which by the Greeks is called [lacuna], consonant, untamed, impure, lustful [text uncertain]; it is the house of Mars, the exaltation of the Sun around the 19th degree, the fall of Saturn around the 19th degree, and the triplicity of the Sun by day and of Jupiter by night.

〔二〕白羊是天上的一个星座，阳性、分点的、至点的、王者的、火性的、披毛的、四足的、有形体的、眼神倦怠的、游移的，希腊人称之为〔此处原文有缺〕，和谐的、不驯的、不洁的、好色的〔原文疑有讹误〕；它是火星的庙，太阳之旺约在第十九度，土星之落约在第十九度，白天是太阳的三方，夜里是木星的三方。

[3] It is called equinoctial or solstitial because in this sign the Sun arranges the hours of night and day in equal measure, which the Greeks have called tropikon isemerinon. For when the Sun is in Aries, it arranges the hours of day and night equally, so that the day has 12 and the night likewise 12. The Greeks called this sign Krios because, when the Sun is in it, it in a way judges between day and night, which is called krinein, and because, placed in this sign between winter and summer, it is itself in turn judged.

〔三〕之所以称它为分点的或至点的，是因为太阳在这个星座里以相等的分寸安排夜与昼的时辰，希腊人称之为「回归的昼夜平分」。因为太阳在白羊时，把昼夜的时辰安排得相等，白天有十二个时辰，夜里也有十二个。希腊人称这个星座为「克里奥斯」，是因为太阳在它里面时，好比在昼与夜之间作判断，这叫「克里内因」；又因为太阳处在这个星座，位于冬与夏之间，它本身反过来也受到判断。

[4] It is called tropical because the Sun placed in this sign makes the season of spring; for spring begins when the Sun has entered the first degree of this sign. It is called fiery because whoever in a nativity [has] dominion [lacuna]

〔四〕之所以称它为回归的，是因为太阳处在这个星座里造成春季；因为太阳进入这个星座的第一度时，春天就开始了。之所以称它为火性的，是因为凡在本命盘里握有统辖的〔此处原文有缺〕

[lacuna]

〔此处原文有缺〕

[5] Pisces is a feminine sign, double, moist, watery, biform, fertile, scaly, spotted, bent, mute, mobile; one fish is borne toward the south, the other toward the north. It is the house of Jupiter, the triplicity of Venus by day and of Mars by night, the exaltation of Venus around the 27th degree, and the fall of Mercury around the 15th degree. This sign is placed in the north wind.

〔五〕双鱼是阴性星座，双体的、湿的、水性的、双形的、多产的、有鳞的、有斑的、弯曲的、不出声的、易动的；一条鱼朝南游去，另一条朝北。它是木星的庙，白天是金星的三方，夜里是火星的三方，金星之旺约在第二十七度，水星之落约在第十五度。这个星座位于北风之中。

XI. On the Ascensions of the Signs.

第十一章　论星座的上升

[1] Now that the kinds and forms of the signs have been explained and their nature written out with careful method, as it has been handed down to us by the most learned teachings of the Greeks, we ought in the next place to show in how many years each sign rises in nativities. What purpose this serves we show in a brief definition.

〔一〕星座的种类与形状既已说明，它们的本性也照希腊人最渊博的教导传给我们的那样，用细致的方法写出，接下来我们应当说明，每个星座在本命里以多少年升起。这有什么用处，我们用一句简短的界定来说明。

[2] All the planets receive their greatest power of decreeing, and exert their strength, when the signs in which they are placed have risen. These rise at varying times and days and according to the climes; hence we show on the following principle which signs rise in which climes and in what time.

〔二〕一切行星，都在它们所在的星座升起之时，得到最大的判定之权，施展它们的力量。而星座升起的时间与日数各不相同，又随气候带而异；因此，哪些星座在哪些气候带、以多少时间升起，我们按下面的道理来说明。

[3] In the first clime, that is, that of Alexandria, and in the second clime, which is that of Babylon, and in all the other regions that lie under these climes, the signs rise in this course of time: Aries rises in 20 years, Taurus in 24, Gemini in 28, Cancer in 32, Leo in 36, Virgo in 40, Libra likewise in 40, Scorpio in 36, Sagittarius in 32, Capricorn in 28, Aquarius in 24, Pisces in 20.

〔三〕在第一气候带，即亚历山大里亚的气候带，以及第二气候带，即巴比伦的气候带，还有位于这两个气候带之下的其他一切地区，星座以这样的时间进程升起：白羊以二十年升起，金牛二十四年，双子二十八年，巨蟹三十二年，狮子三十六年，处女四十年，天秤同样四十年，天蝎三十六年，射手三十二年，摩羯二十八年，水瓶二十四年，双鱼二十年。

[4] In the clime that runs through Rhodes and in the other regions that lie under this clime, Aries rises in 19 years, Taurus in 23, Gemini in 27, Cancer in 32, Leo in 36, Virgo in 40, Libra likewise in 40, Scorpio in 36, Sagittarius in 32, Capricorn in 27, Aquarius in 23, Pisces in 19.

〔四〕在经过罗得岛的气候带，以及位于这个气候带之下的其他地区，白羊以十九年升起，金牛二十三年，双子二十七年，巨蟹三十二年，狮子三十六年，处女四十年，天秤同样四十年，天蝎三十六年，射手三十二年，摩羯二十七年，水瓶二十三年，双鱼十九年。

[5] In the clime of the Hellespont and in the other regions that lie under this clime, Aries rises in 17 years, Taurus in 22, Gemini in 27, Cancer in 32, Leo in 37, Virgo in 42, Libra likewise in 42, Scorpio in 37, Sagittarius in 32, Capricorn in 27, Aquarius in 22, Pisces in 17.

〔五〕在赫勒斯滂的气候带，以及位于这个气候带之下的其他地区，白羊以十七年升起，金牛二十二年，双子二十七年，巨蟹三十二年，狮子三十七年，处女四十二年，天秤同样四十二年，天蝎三十七年，射手三十二年，摩羯二十七年，水瓶二十二年，双鱼十七年。

[6] In the clime of Athens and in the other regions that lie under this clime, Aries rises in 18 years, Taurus in 23, Gemini in 27, Cancer in 32, Leo in 36, Virgo in 41, Libra likewise in 41, Scorpio in 36, Sagittarius in 32, Capricorn in 27, Aquarius in 23, Pisces in 18.

〔六〕在雅典的气候带，以及位于这个气候带之下的其他地区，白羊以十八年升起，金牛二十三年，双子二十七年，巨蟹三十二年，狮子三十六年，处女四十一年，天秤同样四十一年，天蝎三十六年，射手三十二年，摩羯二十七年，水瓶二十三年，双鱼十八年。

[7] In the clime of Ancona and in the other regions that lie under this clime, Aries rises in 15 years, Taurus in 21, Gemini in 27, Cancer in 32, Leo in 38, Virgo in 44, Libra likewise in 44, Scorpio in 38, Sagittarius in 32, Capricorn in 27, Aquarius in 21, Pisces in 15.

〔七〕在安科纳的气候带，以及位于这个气候带之下的其他地区，白羊以十五年升起，金牛二十一年，双子二十七年，巨蟹三十二年，狮子三十八年，处女四十四年，天秤同样四十四年，天蝎三十八年，射手三十二年，摩羯二十七年，水瓶二十一年，双鱼十五年。

[8] In the clime of the City and in the other regions that lie under this clime, Aries rises in 17 years, Taurus in 22, Gemini in 27, Cancer in 32, Leo in 37, Virgo in 42, Libra likewise in 42, Scorpio in 37, Sagittarius in 32, Capricorn in 27, Aquarius in 22, Pisces in 17.

〔八〕在罗马城的气候带，以及位于这个气候带之下的其他地区，白羊以十七年升起，金牛二十二年，双子二十七年，巨蟹三十二年，狮子三十七年，处女四十二年，天秤同样四十二年，天蝎三十七年，射手三十二年，摩羯二十七年，水瓶二十二年，双鱼十七年。

[9] These are the risings of the signs by which the individual planets are advanced to their own efficacy.

〔九〕这些就是星座的升起，各颗行星凭它们被推进到各自的效力。

XII. Which Signs Lie under Which Winds.

第十二章　哪些星座位于哪些风之下

[1] It is fitting for us to know this too, which signs are subject to which winds; for this knowledge is especially necessary to us in effects. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius lie under the north wind (Aquilo); Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn under the south wind (Auster); Gemini, Libra, Aquarius under Apeliotes, which we call Solanus; Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces under Africus, which the Greeks call Lips.

〔一〕我们也宜知道这一点：哪些星座隶属于哪些风；因为这种知识在效验之中对我们尤其必要。白羊、狮子、射手位于北风之下，即「阿奎洛」；金牛、处女、摩羯位于南风之下，即「奥斯特」；双子、天秤、水瓶位于阿佩利奥忒斯之下，我们称之为索拉努斯；巨蟹、天蝎、双鱼位于阿非利库斯之下，希腊人称之为利普斯。

XIII. On the Dodecatemories.

第十三章　论十二分部

[1] Now I shall briefly show on what principle you are to search out the dodecatemories; for some think that from them they can find the whole substance of a nativity, and they declare that whatever lies hidden in the decree can be disclosed from the dodecatemories.

〔一〕现在我要简短说明，你应按什么道理求出十二分部；因为有些人认为，从十二分部就能找到本命的全部实质，并宣称凡隐藏在判定之中的，都能从十二分部揭示出来。

[2] What the dodecatemories are will be told by this example. Whatever planet's dodecatemory you wish to find, you multiply its degree by twelve, and however many degrees result, you distribute them, giving thirty to each sign, starting from the very sign in which the planet whose dodecatemory is sought is located; and in whatever sign the last number falls, that shows you the degree of the dodecatemory. But so that you may understand more clearly, we also give an example of this.

〔二〕十二分部是什么，用这个例子来说明。无论你想求哪颗行星的十二分部，就把它的度数乘以十二，得出多少度，就从那颗所求十二分部的行星所在的星座本身开始，每个星座给三十度地分下去；最后的数落在哪个星座，那就向你显示了十二分部的度。不过为了让你理解得更清楚，我们也给出一个这方面的例子。

[3] Suppose the Sun is in Aries at the 5th degree and 5 minutes. Twelve times 5 makes sixty degrees, and twelve times five makes 60 minutes; 60 minutes make one degree, and in this way the result is 61 degrees. You give 30 to Aries, in which we said the Sun is, and 30 to Taurus: the dodecatemory is found in the 1st degree of Gemini.

〔三〕假设太阳在白羊第五度又五分。十二乘五得六十度，十二乘五又得六十分；六十分合一度，这样结果是六十一度。你给白羊——我们说太阳在那里——三十度，给金牛三十度：十二分部就落在双子第一度。

[4] Look, then, that the full Moon by day does not send its dodecatemory into the terms of Mars, nor the diminished, that is, the waning Moon, into those of Saturn, nor Mars in the Descendant [probably: send its dodecatemory into unsuitable terms] [lacuna], nor Venus into those of Mars and Mars into those of Venus [probably: send their dodecatemories] [lacuna]

〔四〕所以要留意：白天光满的月亮不要把它的十二分部送入火星的界，光减的即亏缺的月亮不要送入土星的界，火星在下降点时也不要〔推测：把十二分部送入不合的界〕〔此处原文有缺〕，金星不要送入火星的界，火星也不要送入金星的界〔推测：所缺是「送入十二分部」一类动词〕〔此处原文有缺〕

[5] and from the terms and from the decans and from their conditions they receive the power to help or to harm. The kindness of Jupiter fails when its kindness has been hindered by the weakness of the sign or of the degrees or of the decan, or by a change of condition. And the malice of Saturn grows more strongly when, from the quality of the place or of the terms or of the decan or of the sign, or from its condition, it has received a power provoked to harm; and the same holds for the other planets too.

〔五〕而它们从界、从十度区、从它们的阵营，得到有助或有害的力量。木星的仁慈，在被星座、度数或十度区的虚弱，或被阵营的改变所阻碍时，便告失效。而土星的恶意，当它从宫位的性质、界、十度区、星座或它的阵营，得到被激起去加害的力量时，就增长得更猛烈；其他行星也是一样。

[6] One thing, however, must be known: although the star of Jupiter is benefic, it nevertheless cannot by itself resist the attack of Mars and Saturn if they constrain it with a violent aspect; for men would be immortal if the kindness of Jupiter were never overcome in the nativities of men. But since God the craftsman so made man that his substance should be dissolved once a fixed span of life had passed, it was necessary that, with Jupiter held back, through whom the saving protection of life is conferred on men, the malicious or pernicious power of the malefic planets should persist with an increase of malice in extinguishing a human being, so that the frame of the body, assailed by malefic aspects, might be dissolved.

〔六〕不过有一件事必须知道：木星之星虽然是吉星，但火星和土星若以猛烈的相位钳制它，它单凭自己抵挡不住它们的攻击；因为倘若木星的仁慈在人的本命盘里从不被压倒，人就会不死了。但既然工匠之神这样造人，要人的实质在一段固定的生命时间过去之后消解，那就必须让木星被拦住——生命的救护之力正是借木星赐给人的——让凶星恶意或致命的力量，在熄灭一个人时随着恶意的增长而持续，好让身体的构架受凶星相位的攻击而消解。
