卷二·第七至九章　月亮与诸星的必然尊贵

CHAP. VII. Of the Nature and Significations of the MOON.

第七章　论月亮的本性与所主。

MY Intentions are now to treat of the lowermost of all the Planets, and next unto the earth, which is the Moon; she is Feminine and Nocturnal; her colour is so vulgarly known, that it were superfluous or needless here to relate, since our intentions and scope of our writings are to inform the ignorant and illiterate of what they as yet are ignorant of; she is the biggest of Planets to our outward sight, except the Sun; nay and it is hardly discernable externally, which of the two is the greater; but this is by reason of their nearness unto our sight, whence in Genesis she is called one of the two great lights (which is to be understood as in relation to our sight.) But according to Tycho, is 42. times less then the earth. Ptolomie saith 39. times, and Copernicus 43. times.

我现在打算讲众行星中最低、最靠近地球的一颗，那就是月亮；她是阴性的、夜性的；她的颜色人人皆知，在这里细说是多余或不必要的，因为我们著述的用意和宗旨，是把无知无学之人尚不知道的事告诉他们；在我们的肉眼看来，除了太阳，她是行星中最大的；不仅如此，从外表上几乎分辨不出两者哪个更大；但这是因为它们离我们的眼睛近，所以在《创世记》里她被称为两个大光之一（这要从我们看来的角度去理解）。可是照第谷，她比地球小四十二倍。托勒密说三十九倍，哥白尼说四十三倍。

And according to Tycho, she is less then Sol 5848. times; Ptolomie saith 6348. times, and Copernicus 7000. times.

照第谷，她比太阳小五千八百四十八倍；托勒密说六千三百四十八倍，哥白尼说七千倍。

And distant from the earth, according to Tycho, 60. semidiameters at her greatest elongation; in her least elongation but 52. semidiameters; Ptolomie saith 64. semidiameters; her least 34. and her mean 49. Copernicus saith, her greatest 68. her least 52. and her mean 60.

她与地球的距离，照第谷，在最远时是地球半径的六十倍；在最近时只有五十二倍；托勒密说最远六十四倍，最近三十四倍，平均四十九倍。哥白尼说最远六十八倍，最近五十二倍，平均六十倍。

She is neither fortunate nor unfortunate, but as she is placed and in configuration with either the Fortunes or Malevolents; she is most powerfull in operation of all the other Planets, on Elementary bodies, by reason of their proximity to us, and her swiftness, by which she transfers the light and influence of all the Superiors to us, by her configuration with them.

她本身无所谓吉或凶，要看她所在的位置，以及她与吉星或凶星的配置而定；在对元素之物的作用上，她比其他所有行星都更有力，这是由于她离我们近，又运行迅速，借此她通过与上位诸星的配置，把它们的光与影响传给我们。

Her mean motion is 13. deg. 10. min. 36. sec.

她的平均运行是十三度十分三十六秒。

She never exceedeth 15. deg. 2. minutes in one day.

她一天从不超过十五度二分。

She finisheth her course through the 12. signs of the Zodiack in 27. days, hours and 45. minutes or thereabouts.

她走完黄道十二星座要二十七天、若干小时又四十五分左右。

Moon Lady of the year, and strong in any Revolution, denotes there shall be no want of rain in its due season, both former and latter; men shall be generall healthy, fortunate, safe and punctual in all their actions and promises, especially if she be in reception with her dispositor or good Aspect therewith, &c. but if she be then weak and unfortunate, you are to judge the contrary.

月亮为年主，又在某次回归中强，表示雨水应时而降，前雨后雨都不缺；人们普遍健康、幸运、平安，一切行事与承诺都守信准时，尤其如果她与她的定位星互有接纳，或与之成吉相位，等等；但如果那时她弱而不吉，你就要判断相反。

One of a palish, whitish colour, round face, gray-eyes, yet having a kind of a lowring or cloudish eye-brow, very hairy, fleshie and plump, of a large stature, corpulent, and well set.

一个面色苍白发白、圆脸、灰眼的人，却有一种低垂或阴沉的眉毛，毛发很多，多肉而丰满，身材高大，肥胖而结实。

When Oriental, she inclineth more to fatness.

东出时，她更倾向于胖。

When Occidental, not so well set.

西入时，没那么结实。

Her greatest North latitude is, 5. deg. 17. sec. or neer upon.

她最大的北纬大约是五度十七秒。

Her greatest South latitude, is, 5. deg. 12. sec. or neer upon.

她最大的南纬大约是五度十二秒。

She signifieth common people.

The Plam-tree, for that it sends forth a twig every time the Moon riseth, and all such trees and plants as participate or sympathize with her, and are juicy and full of sap.

棕榈树，因为每次月亮升起它就抽出一根枝条；以及一切与她相通相感、多汁饱含汁液的树木和植物。

Of the Baboons passions I forbear here to speak, since you have had it related in the 4. chapter, being caused by the secret influence of Sol and Luna.

喜欢待在水里的兽类，如水獭等；以及在某种程度上与月亮相感的，如变色龙、狗、猪、青蛙、母鹿、山羊、狒狒、豹、猫、灵猫，一切怪异的兽，老鼠、大鼠，等等。狒狒的情状这里我就不讲了，因为第四章已经讲过，那是太阳和月亮的隐秘影响所致。

CHAP. VIII. Of the Essential Dignities of the Planets.

第八章　论诸行星的必然尊贵。

I Have already shewed the Natures and Significations of the Planets; I am come now to shew their essential Dignities, without the which there can no part of this Art be understood, or indeed by any wise beneficial; wherefore it is necessary that all the Students herein, warily observe their Fortitudes and Debilities in any part of their works; to which end they must be exceeding well skilled herein; which, that they may diligently study to do, I will (God inabling me) cordially and sincerely to the full here relate.

我已经讲过诸行星的本性与所主；现在来讲它们的必然尊贵，没有这一项，这门学问的任何部分都不能理解，或者说都毫无用处；所以，一切学习此道的人，在他们任何一部分的工作中，都必须小心观察诸星的强弱；为此他们必须对此极为精通；为了让他们勤加研习，我将（蒙神助我）诚心诚意地在这里完整讲述。

A Planet then is said to be essentially strong, or in essential Dignities, when he is in his own House, Exaltation, Triplicity, Term, or Face. How these are assigned to every Planet, you may see by this Table following, though there hath been much dissention therein amongst the Ancients; with the which if thou agree not, I hope thou art not hurt hereby, since thou hast liberty to follow what Authors thou pleasest.

一颗行星在它自己的庙、旺、三方、界或面时，就称为必然强，或在必然尊贵之中。这些怎样分派给每颗行星，你可以从下面这张表看到，虽然古人在这上面有许多分歧；如果你不同意此表，我希望你也不会因此受害，因为你有自由去追随你喜欢的作者。

The Vse of the Table.

本表的用法。

IN the first Column you have ♈, ♉, ♊, &c. under each other to the end of the signs; over them is written, signs, intimating all these beneath are the Characters of the signs.

在第一栏你看到 ♈、♉、♊ 等等上下排列，直到最后一个星座；它们上面写着「星座」，表示下面这些都是星座的符号。

In the next Column to signs, you have written the Houses of the Planets, under which you see ♂. D. over against it on the left hand is ♈; and under ♂. D. you have ♀. N. and over against her on the left hand, ♉. intimating no more but this, that ♈ is ♂ his day house, signified by D. and ♉ is ♀ her night house, signified by N. and so all along underneath you have declared what sign properly belongeth to every Planet.

在「星座」旁边的下一栏，写着「诸星之庙」，在它下面你看到 ♂ 注「昼」，左边与之相对的是 ♈；在 ♂「昼」下面，你看到 ♀ 注「夜」，左边与她相对的是 ♉；意思不过是：♈ 是 ♂ 的昼庙，以「昼」字表示；♉ 是 ♀ 的夜庙，以「夜」字表示；这样一路往下，就列明了哪个星座本属哪颗行星。

In the next column you see written Exaltations; under it and over against ♈, you finde ☉ 19. and under him, over against ♉, you see ☽ 3. which is, ☉ in the 19. degree of ♈ is in the very point of his exaltation, and ☽ in the 3. degree of ♉; and so of the rest.

下一栏你看到写着「旺」；在它下面、与 ♈ 相对处，你看到 ☉ 十九；再往下、与 ♉ 相对处，你看到 ☽ 三；就是说，☉ 在 ♈ 十九度正是他的旺点，☽ 在 ♉ 三度也是；其余照此类推。

In the next column you see Triplicities, and under is D. N. & under D. N. you have ☉ ♃. ☉ under D. and ♃ under N. and over against ♈; so also over against ♌ in the same column you see ☉ ♃, and again over against ♐; which shews no more but that the ☉ hath triplicity in the Day, signified by D. in these three fiery signs or Triplicity; and ♃ in the night signified by N. so you may see ♀ and ☽ rule the earthy Triplicity, ♀ by day, ☽ by night; ♄ and ☿ the aëry; ♂ the watry only; wherefore you finde ♂ both under D. and N. shewing that both night and day he ruleth the watry Trygon.

下一栏你看到「三方」，下面写着「昼」「夜」，在「昼」「夜」下面你有 ☉ ♃，☉ 在「昼」下，♃ 在「夜」下，与 ♈ 相对；同样，在同一栏里与 ♌ 相对处你也看到 ☉ ♃，与 ♐ 相对处又是；这不过表示 ☉ 白天（以「昼」表示）在这三个火象星座即火象三方有三方尊贵，♃ 则在夜里（以「夜」表示）；同样你可以看到 ♀ 和 ☽ 主土象三方，♀ 昼、☽ 夜；♄ 和 ☿ 主风象三方；唯有 ♂ 主水象三方；所以你看到 ♂ 在「昼」「夜」下都有，表示他昼夜都主水象三角。

In the next column and over against ♈, you see ♃ 6. and in the next column ♀ 14. and next unto her over against ♈ still you finde ☿ 21. &c. and over their heads you have written The terms of the Planets; the meaning whereof is, that ♃ in the first 6. degrees of ♈ hath terms, ♀ from 6. to 14. hath terms, ☿ from 14. to 21. hath terms, &c. and so in order of the rest.

在下一栏、与 ♈ 相对，你看到 ♃ 六，再下一栏是 ♀ 十四，紧挨着她、仍与 ♈ 相对，你看到 ☿ 二十一，等等；在它们上方写着「诸星之界」；意思是 ♃ 在 ♈ 的前六度有界，♀ 从六度到十四度有界，☿ 从十四度到二十一度有界，等等，其余依次类推。

In the tenth column over against ♈, you finde ♂ 10. ☉ 20. and ♀ 30. over their heads, The faces of the Planets, which is, ♂ in the first 10. degrees of ♈ hath a face, ☉ from 10. to 20. degrees, and ♀ from 20. to 30. degrees: mark this all along in the rest.

在第十栏、与 ♈ 相对，你看到 ♂ 十、☉ 二十和 ♀ 三十，上方写着「诸星之面」，就是说 ♂ 在 ♈ 前十度有一个面，☉ 从十度到二十度，♀ 从二十度到三十度：其余都照此看。

In the thirteenth column, you finde ♀ over against ♈, and under her ♂ over against ♉, next ♃ over against ♊, and over all, written Detriment, intimating ♀ in ♈, ♂ in ♉, ♃ in ♊, are in detriment, viz. in houses that are opposite to their own, whereby they are debilitated or suffer detriment or damage, and so you may see of all the rest of the Planets.

在第十三栏，你看到 ♀ 与 ♈ 相对，她下面 ♂ 与 ♉ 相对，再下 ♃ 与 ♊ 相对，上方写着「陷」，表示 ♀ 在 ♈、♂ 在 ♉、♃ 在 ♊ 都在陷，即在与自己的庙相对的宫里，因而受削弱、失势或受损害，其余行星你都可以这样看。

In the last column you finde over against ♈, ♄; over against ♋, ♂; over against ♍, ♀, and over all, written Fall, shewing that ♄ in ♈, ♂ in ♋, ♀ in ♍, &c. are in their Falls, viz. in the signs opposite to their exaltations.

在最后一栏，你看到与 ♈ 相对的是 ♄；与 ♋ 相对的是 ♂；与 ♍ 相对的是 ♀，上方写着「落」，表示 ♄ 在 ♈、♂ 在 ♋、♀ 在 ♍ 等等都在落，即在与它们的旺相对的星座里。

But, that you may fully examine the strengths and debilities of the Planets, in the judging of any part of this Science, and to know how many dignities essential a Planet hath; when in Exaltation, what in house, how many in Triplicity, term or face; nay and accidental dignities, as being in Aspect or Conjunction with the Fortunes, and located in good houses, &c. or debilities essential or accidental, have special regard to this following Table.

但为了让你在判断这门学问的任何部分时，能充分考察诸行星的强弱，知道一颗行星有多少必然尊贵——在旺时多少，在庙时多少，在三方、界或面时各多少；还有偶然尊贵，如与吉星成相位或会合、位于好的宫位等等；或必然的、偶然的衰弱，都要特别留意下面这张表。

A Table, shewing the Fortitudes and Debilities of the Planets. Essential Dignities. Debilities. A Planet in his own house, or mutual reception by house shall have dignities. 5 In Detriment. 5 In exaltation, or reception by exaltation. 4 In Fall. 4 In Triplicity. 3 Peregrine. 5 In Term. 2 In decanet or face. 1 Accidental Fortitudes.

CHAP. IX. Shewing the Vse of these former dignities, &c.

第九章　说明上述诸尊贵的用法，等等。

USE: The use that is to be made of all this, is no more but this; if you finde a Planet in his own house, and he significator, he shews a good state of the person or thing he signifieth in any scheam whatsoever. As if in the Revolution of the year of the World, he be significator of the King, People, &c. he signifies thus much, That their condition is, and shall be during the time of his being essentially strong, in great esteem, prosperity, health, plenty, &c.

用法：这一切的用法不过是这样：如果你发现一颗行星在自己的庙里，而他又是征象星，那么在任何盘里他都表示他所代表的人或事处境良好。比如在世界之年的回归中，他是国王、人民等等的征象星，他就表示：在他必然强的期间，他们的处境现在是、将来也是备受尊重、繁荣、健康、丰足，等等。

If a Planet be in his Exaltation, he shews a man of a high and majestical carriage and disposition, very high-minded, lofty and proud, taking more upon him then befitteth.

如果一颗行星在他的旺，他表示一个人举止高贵威严，心气极高，高傲自大，自视过于其分。

If a Planet be in his Triplicity, it shews a man meanly endued with the goods of this life, not meanly, nor very well descended; yet his present condition to be good.

如果一颗行星在他的三方，表示这人今生的财物中等，出身不卑也不很好；但他现在的处境良好。

If a Planet be in his Terms, it shews a man rather participating of the temper and shape of the Planet, then of the wealth, power or dignity signified by the nature of that Planet.

如果一颗行星在他的界，表示这人更多带有这颗行星的气质与形貌，而不是这颗行星本性所表示的财富、权力或尊位。

In face, a Planet no otherwise fortified, then but being in face, and significator of any one, shews him signified to be, as it were, at the last shift, or as we say, at the last gasp, not knowing how to bestow himself, nor what course to take; and so judge of any thing signified, to be either in a good or bad condition, according to the strength of the significator.

在面：一颗行星除了在面之外别无尊贵，又是某人的征象星，就表示他所代表的人好像到了最后关头，或如我们所说，奄奄一息，不知如何安身，也不知该走哪条路；所以要按征象星的强弱，判断任何所代表之事处境好坏。
