第四部·第四十一至四十二则　进入与行经，附受孕与气质诸论

CANON XLI.

第四十一则。

Of Ingresses.

论进入。

We have said some are active, some are passive. ACTIVE ingresses are the aspects of active stars, acquired by an universal daily motion, with the places of the primary and secondary direction, and progress of the significators. PASSIVE are the aspects of the universal prorogators in the whole world with the active stars of the secondary direction, and process.

我们说过，有些是主动的，有些是被动的。主动的进入，是主动的星辰借普遍的每日运动，与诸征象星的主限推运、次限推运及进程之位所成的相位。被动的进入，是普遍的释放星在整个世界中，与次限推运及进程中的主动星辰所成的相位。

Under the name of ACTIVE stars, we mean whatever have the quality of acting, and are usually posited in the promittor's place, as ♄, ♃, ♂, ♀, ☿, and the ☉ and ☽ also, when they assume the nature of any of the afore-mentioned, and such ingresses, whether of the benign, to the places of the motions of the significators, or of the universal significator, to the places of the motions of the benign, or favourable planets; that is, both active and passive are good, but of the malign, in the same manner, are hurtful, as will be perceived in the examples.

我们所说的主动星辰，指凡具有作用之性质、通常位于允诺星之位的，如土星、木星、火星、金星、水星，以及太阳和月亮，当它们带上上述任何一颗的性质时也是；这样的进入，无论是吉星进入诸征象星的运动之位，还是普遍征象星进入吉星或吉利行星的运动之位，即主动的与被动的，都是好的；而凶星的，同样地，是有害的，这在例子中可以看出。

CANON XLII.

第四十二则。

Of TRANSITS.

论行经。

Some also are active, some passive; the active are the aspects of active stars acquired by an universal daily motion with the prorogators of the nativity; that is, with their immoveable places. Passive Transits are the aspects of the universal significators in the whole world with the active stars of the nativity; that is, with their immoveable places, according to their immobility, which we have frequently mentioned; so that in this, ingresses differ from transits; in that, ingresses aspect the places of the moveable motions; but transits, the fixed places of the nativity.

行经也有主动的和被动的；主动的，是主动星辰借普遍的每日运动，与本命的释放星，即与其不动之位所成的相位。被动的行经，是普遍征象星在整个世界中，与本命的主动星辰，即与其不动之位所成的相位，按照我们屡次提到的那种不动性；所以进入与行经在这一点上不同：进入对运动之位成相位，行经则对本命的固定之位成相位。

But the most of all to be observed, are the lunations in the daily motions, whether it be ☌, □, or ☍ of the ☽ with the ☉ above the obnoxious places; for when the subject is on the direction and progress to happiness, if the happy lunations are so, by reason of the aspects of fortunate stars, they greatly conduce to the procuring of happiness in their effects; but if, on the contrary, we are speaking of the directions and process to the unfortunate planets; and those lunations are unfortunate, on account of the hostile rays there of the malignant stars, the native must be supposed to be in very great danger; and doubtless there is great reason to fear it, from the unhappy event of the things signified.

但最须注意的，是每日运动中的朔望，无论是月亮与太阳在易受害之位上的会合、四分还是对冲；因为当主体处在推运与进程走向幸福之时，若幸运的朔望之所以幸运，是由于吉星的相位，它们就大大有助于在其效应中获得幸福；但若反过来，我们说的是走向凶星的推运与进程，而那些朔望又因凶星在那里的敌对光线而不吉，本命者就必须被认为处于极大的危险中；所事之事的不幸结局，无疑也有很大理由令人畏惧。

Hence it is evident, that promotions to dignity very frequently happen in lunations, wherein the luminaries are surrounded by the fortunate On the contrary, tribulations, diseases, murders, &c. in lunations, wherein the luminaries are besieged by the unfavourable planets.

由此可见，晋升尊位极常发生在两光被吉星环绕的朔望中；反之，苦难、疾病、凶杀等等，则发生在两光被凶星围困的朔望中。

This is the true doctrine of Ptolemy, and of all this most noble science.

这才是托勒密的真学说，也是这整门最高贵学问的真学说。

But let us begin observing the examples which we have subjoined to verify things, and likewise to elucidate the Canons.

但让我们开始观察我们附上的例子，以验证所说之事，也阐明诸则。

End of the CANONS.

诸则终。

ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS ON CONCEPTION, AND THE TEMPERATURE OF A NATIVITY.

关于受孕与本命气质的补充观察。

IT is universally admitted, that the beginning of human generation takes place at conception, and therefore we ought to be exact in ascertaining this time, and consider the effective power of the configuration of the stars, as they then happen to be posited, and from thence contemplate the qualities of the mind and body.

人们普遍承认，人的生殖始于受孕，因此我们应当精确地确定这个时刻，并考虑那时星辰格局的作用之力，看它们当时如何排列，由此观照心灵与身体的性质。

For in the beginning, although the seed at once assumes a quality by the communication of the circum-ambient matter, which at other times of its formation and increase becomes different, yet, naturally, as it increases, it retains its own proper matter, and is rendered more like the peculiar nature of the first quality, with which it was impressed at the time of conception.

因为在开始时，种子虽因周围物质的传达而立即带上某种性质，在它形成与生长的其他时候又变得不同，然而自然地，随着它的生长，它保留自己本有的物质，变得更像受孕时所印上的那第一种性质的特有本性。

It is of some importance to know the time of conception, as well as to know the true time of birth; for by the first, the accidents and temperature before birth are known; and by the second, those incident to our whole lives are to be discovered. Wherefore one may be called a beginning, and the other an after-beginning; the first, the generation of human seed; the second, that of man.

知道受孕的时间，与知道真实的出生时间同样有些重要；因为由前者可知出生前的事故与气质，由后者可发现伴随我们一生的事故。所以一个可称为开端，另一个可称为后开端；前者是人的种子的生成，后者是人的生成。

For in this state the infant assumes many things which it had not when in the womb, and these peculiar to human nature alone, and the formation of the body. And although the properties of the celestial and elementary matter seems to confer nothing at the time of birth, in respect to the formation of the child, yet it operates most forcibly upon it in other respects; for nature, after perfecting the formation, disposes the ensuing effect according to the state of the former at the beginning.

因为在这种状态下，婴儿带上许多它在母腹中所没有的东西，这些是人性所独有的，也有身体的成形。虽然天上与元素的物质的性质在出生之时，就孩子的成形而言似乎没有贡献什么，但在其他方面对它作用极强；因为自然在完成成形之后，按照开端时前一状态的情形来安排随后的效应。

Hence it is reasonable, in those whose time of conception is known, that the configurations of the stars formed at their birth, should be significative; not that it wholly contains an effective power, but because it necessarily hath a power by nature similar to the effective.

因此合理的是，对于那些受孕时间已知的人，出生时形成的星辰格局应当有所指示；不是说它完全包含作用之力，而是因为它必然具有一种本性上与作用之力相似的力量。

Therefore, if the time of conception can be known before birth, by setting a figure, it shews what shall happen to the infant while in the womb; as whether it shall be strong or weak, firm or infirm, perfect or imperfect, male or female, single or twins; or whether it shall arrive to the full and perfect time of birth.

所以，若受孕时间能在出生前得知，起一个盘，就能显示婴儿在母腹中将发生什么；例如它将强或弱，结实或虚弱，完整或不完整，男或女，单胎或双胎；或它是否能到达足月出生的完满时刻。

But the most essential use of a conceptional figure after the infant is born, is to compare the signs and planets which govern the conception with the nature and quality of those that govern the birth, in order to ascertain the predominant humour, and its offending quality, which shall ever after mark the temperature of the native.

但受孕盘在婴儿出生后最重要的用处，是把主管受孕的星座与行星，与主管出生的那些的本性与性质相比较，以确定占优势的体液及其致病的性质，它此后将一直标志着本命者的气质。

To erect, therefore, a conceptional figure, proceed thus: when you have set a figure for a nativity, take the distance of the Moon from the east, if she be under the earth, or from the seventh, if above the earth, substracting the sign and degree of the angle from the sign and degree of the Moon, always observing to add twelve signs to the place of the Moon, if (substraction cannot be made) and with the remainder enter the subsequent Table.

所以要起受孕盘，就这样做：当你起好本命盘后，若月亮在地平以下，就取月亮离东方的距离；若在地平以上，就取离第七宫的距离；从月亮的星座与度数中减去那个角的星座与度数，若不够减，始终记得给月亮的位置加十二个星座；用余数查下面的表。

But to make the process of setting a conceptional figure more facile, we will subjoin the following example, taken from the nativity of George Prince of Wales, where we find the Moon is two signs 28° 36' distant from the ascendant under the earth; with this enter the table, and even with two signs 24°, will be found (in that column the distance of the Moon from the ascendant) 280 days; and by entering with the other 4° in the table of degrees, we shall find it give 8h; and we examine the table of minutes, and find 36' give 1h 12', which, being added altogether, makes 280 days 9h 12', which shews the conception took place 280 days 9h 12' before the birth; and by reckoning that time backwards, we shall find it took place on Thursday the 5th of November, eight minutes pass ten o'clock in the morning, 1761, when the seven erratics were situated as in the annexed plate.

但为了让起受孕盘的过程更容易，我们附上下面的例子，取自威尔士亲王乔治的本命，其中我们发现月亮在地平以下，离上升点两个星座二十八度三十六分；以此查表，对着两个星座二十四度，会找到（在月亮离上升点的那一栏中）二百八十日；再以其余的四度查度数表，会得出八小时；再查分数表，三十六分得一小时十二分，全部相加得二百八十日九小时十二分，这表明受孕发生在出生前二百八十日九小时十二分；把这段时间往回推算，我们会发现受孕在一七六一年十一月五日星期四上午十点过八分，那时七颗游星的位置如附图所示。

On Temperature of a Native.

论本命者的气质。

It is necessary, before we can give a proper judgment on the size, temperature, or complexion of a native, that we consider the specific virtue and quality of the seven wanderers, and their position; for as by their motion they regulate the four elements, fire, earth, air, and water, so they compound and act on the four principal humours in the temperature of man, viz. choler, melancholy, blood, and phlegm; and as they are equally mixed or predominant, such shall be the temperature and complexion of the native at conception and birth, we shall therefore, for the better perception of a young tyro, arrange them under distinct heads (as in the plate), wherein is shewn how their natural qualities are changed by their different aspects and positions in the heavens; as for example, the ☉ in ♈, ♉, or ♊, is sanguine, and produces heat and moisture, as in Spring.

在我们能对本命者的身材、气质或体色作出恰当判断之前，必须考虑七颗游星特有的力量与性质，以及它们的位置；因为它们借其运动调节火、土、气、水四元素，同样也组成并作用于人的气质中的四种主要体液，即黄胆汁、黑胆汁、血液与黏液；随着它们均匀混合或某一种占优势，本命者在受孕与出生时的气质与体色就是如此；所以为了让年轻的初学者更好地理解，我们把它们分列在不同的条目下（如图版所示），其中显示它们的自然性质如何因在天上不同的相位与位置而改变；例如，太阳在白羊、金牛或双子，是多血的，产生热与湿，如在春天。

The ☉ in ♋, ♌, and ♍, is choleric, and causes heat and dryness, as in Summer.

太阳在巨蟹、狮子和处女，是胆汁的，造成热与干，如在夏天。

The ☉ in ♎, ♏, and ♐, is melancholy, and brings cold and dryness, as in autumn.

太阳在天秤、天蝎和射手，是忧郁的，带来冷与干，如在秋天。

The ☉ in ♑, ♒, or ♓, is phlegmatic, and causes cold and moisture, as in winter.

太阳在摩羯、水瓶或双鱼，是黏液的，造成冷与湿，如在冬天。

The Moon, of her own nature, is cold and moist, and always intermixes her influences with the influx of every planet that joins aspect with her, or from which her aspect is separated. Her effects also increase or decrease; for if she is in her increase with ♂, she causes heat and dryness; but when in her decrease with ♄, she produces cold and moisture; therefore in judging of the temperature of the native, observe the following rules:

月亮按其本性是冷而湿的，总把她的影响与每一颗同她成相位、或她刚与之离相的行星的流入相混合。她的效应也随盈亏而增减；因为若她在盈长时与火星同在，就造成热与干；但在亏缺时与土星同在，就产生冷与湿；所以在判断本命者的气质时，要遵守下面的规则：

First. Examine the nature of the sign ascending.

第一，考察上升星座的本性。

Second. The nature of the lord thereof, and the sign it is in.

第二，它的主星的本性，以及主星所在的星座。

Third. The planets or ☊ or ☋ in the ascendant, or any planet beholding the ascendant with aspect.

第三，在上升中的行星或龙头、龙尾，或任何以相位照看上升的行星。

Fourth. The situation of the Moon and those planets that behold the Moon within orbs.

第四，月亮的处境，以及在容许度之内照看月亮的那些行星。

Fifth. The season of the year and that sign the Sun is in.

第五，一年的季节以及太阳所在的星座。

Sixth, The almuten, or that planet which has greatest dignities in the figure.

第六，胜星，即在盘中尊贵最多的那颗行星。

These rules being properly attended to, and gathered according to order, and substraction made, the lesser from the greater, we may easily find the predominant humour, and consequently judge of the size, temperature, and complexion of the native.

这些规则若恰当遵守，按次序汇集，并作减法，以小减大，我们就能容易地找到占优势的体液，从而判断本命者的身材、气质与体色。

But it is necessary to premise, that if cold and moisture prevail in a geniture, the native will be phlegmatic: if cold and dryness have the superiority, he will acquire a reserved habit and be oppressed with melancholy: if heat and moisture predominate, he will prove of a sanguine temperature, and of an even courteous disposition: if heat and dryness, he will be cholerick, and of a surly temper; but where the qualities of the configurating stars are nearly equal, the native will be strongly affected by their temperatures respectively, when under a direction of their own nature and quality.

但必须先说明：若一个命盘中冷与湿占优，本命者就是黏液质的；若冷与干占上风，他就会养成拘谨的习性，并为忧郁所压抑；若热与湿占优，他就会是多血的气质，性情平和有礼；若热与干，他就是胆汁质的，脾气乖戾；但若诸成格局之星的性质几乎相等，本命者在处于与其中某一种本性和性质相同的推运之下时，就会分别强烈地受到它们气质的影响。

On Climactrical Years

论关口之年

Climactrical years are nothing more than the times or periods in which the Moon makes her quarters to the point she is in at birth, measured by her own motion, and applied to the years of the native's life, and to allow for each day's motion of the Moon one year, and for every two hours one month, by which may be judged the native's first climactrical year, second, third, and fourth; and here observe the time the Moon took in making her first quarter after birth, declares when the first climactrical year is; the second quarter, the second climactrical year, and so on, till we begin the first quarter again.

关口之年不过是月亮以自身的运动，对出生时她所在之点形成四分的时间或周期，用于本命者生命的年数，以月亮每一日的运动当一年，每两小时当一个月，由此可以判断本命者的第一、第二、第三、第四个关口之年；这里要注意，月亮在出生后形成第一个四分所用的时间，表明第一个关口之年在何时；第二个四分，表明第二个关口之年，依此类推，直到我们又从第一个四分开始。

On Revolutions.

论回归。

Revolutions are no other than to observe the situation of the planets, at the time the Sun returns to his radical place; and if at that time any of the planets transit their own, or behold their own place with any aspect, then they have powerful effects; if none of these happen, then there can be no judgment drawn from a revolution that year.

回归不过是在太阳回到本命之位的时刻，观察诸行星的处境；若那时有行星行经自己的本命之位，或以任何相位照看自己的本命之位，它们就有强大的效应；若这些都没有发生，那一年就不能从回归中得出任何判断。

THE END.
