卷二·第十五至十七章　面、喜乐与龙头龙尾

CHAP. XV. Demonstrating the Vse, Nature and Reasons of the Faces of the Planets.

第十五章　说明诸行星之面的用处、本性与理由。

AGain, the Reasons of the Vertues of each Planet through the 12. signs of the Zodiack in their proper Faces is very rare, and a great mysterie, which every capacity cannot reach unto; neither is it to be attained by any but who are great and profound searchers of the hidden mysteries of nature, and of great experience; for as water quencheth fire, and as fire dryeth up water; so one Planet over-ruleth another, and again is contradicted by the same; a term divides a face; a face divides a sign; a sign a triplicity; a triplicity the Zodiack, &c.

再者，每颗行星在黄道十二星座中各自的面里有何德能，其理由十分稀奇，是一大奥秘，不是人人的才智都能达到的；除了深究自然隐秘奥理、经验丰富的人，谁也得不到；因为正如水灭火、火烧干水，一颗行星也压制另一颗，又反过来被同一颗所抵制；界分割面，面分割星座，星座分割三方，三方分割黄道，等等。

Know therefore that in every sign there are three Faces, consisting of 10. degrees a piece: they are called faces for that they are equivalent to signs, forms or shapes, by reason they shew the nature and inclination of the Planets in them, as in their own houses, as it were, as anon shall appear, being borrowed from the practise of those that did use to foretell the Accidents, Nature, Disposition and inclination by the face of the Planet.

所以要知道，每个星座里有三个面，每个面十度：它们称为面，是因为它们等同于星座、形相或形貌，因为它们显出在其中的行星的本性与倾向，仿佛是在它们自己的庙里一样，这在下面马上就会看到；这名称借自那些惯于凭行星之面来预言际遇、本性、性情与倾向的人的做法。

To know the proper Faces then of the Planets, you must begin with Mars, and give him the first face of Aries, viz. the first 10. degrees, because Aries is his house: the second face to the Sun because he followeth Mars in course, and is located under him in the Heavens: the third to Venus, who successively followeth the Sun: to Mercury you must after the same Rule give the first face of Taurus, who successively followeth Venus; the second to the Moon, being under Mercury; the third to Saturn, being the first of the Planets; and therefore in order to be reckoned after Luna, which is the last.

那么要知道诸行星各自的面，你必须从火星开始，把白羊的第一个面即前十度给他，因为白羊是他的庙：第二个面给太阳，因为他在次序上跟在火星之后，在天上位于火星之下：第三个面给金星，她依次跟在太阳之后：照同一规则，你要把金牛的第一个面给依次跟在金星之后的水星；第二个面给在水星之下的月亮；第三个面给土星，因为他是诸行星中的第一颗；所以按次序要排在最后的月亮之后。

The first face of Gemini to Jupiter; the second to Mars, and so round about the Zodiack; for following this method, you will soon come to the exact knowledge of every Face, and the true Lord thereof.

双子的第一个面给木星；第二个给火星，照此绕黄道一周；因为照这个方法，你很快就能确切知道每个面以及它真正的主星。

Mars then hath the first face of Aries assigned unto him; and this is the face of boldness, strength magnanimity, unshamefastness, resoluteness and confidence.

这一切的用法不过是：如果你发现某人本命盘的上升宫头落在这些面中的任何一个，你可以判断本命者就像你在这里看到的那样；如果你发现上升主星、月亮、照看上升的行星、或照看上升主星或月亮或两者的行星，也在同一面或性质相同的面里，你的判断就更确定；在这里多停留是徒劳的，因为这已经很清楚明白了。

CHAP. XVI. Of the Joys of the Planets.

第十六章　论诸行星的喜乐之位。

MOreover, the Planets are said to be in their joys when they are in those houses where they are most strong and powerfull, as, ♄ Joyeth in ♒ ♃ Joyeth in ♐ ♂ Joyeth in ♏ ☉ Joyeth in ♌ ♀ Joyeth in ♉ ☿ Joyeth in ♍ ☽ Joyeth in ♋

再者，诸行星在它们最强、最有力的那些庙里时，就说是在它们的喜乐之位，如：土星喜乐于水瓶，木星喜乐于射手，火星喜乐于天蝎，太阳喜乐于狮子，金星喜乐于金牛，水星喜乐于处女，月亮喜乐于巨蟹。

The reason why these are their joys, is this. Saturn joyeth in Aquaries, and not in Capricorn, although both are his houses, because in Aquaries he hath both house and triplicity by day; in Capricorn he hath only house; so likewise Jupiter joyeth in Sagittary, and not in Pisces, because he hath in Sagittary both house and triplicity, in Pisces but only house: and so of all the rest except Luna, who although she hath not triplicity in Cancer, yet is it a sign of her own nature and complexion:

这些之所以是它们的喜乐之位，理由是这样：土星喜乐于水瓶而不在摩羯，虽然两者都是他的庙，因为他在水瓶白天既有庙又有三方；在摩羯只有庙；同样木星喜乐于射手而不在双鱼，因为他在射手既有庙又有三方，在双鱼只有庙：其余各星都是如此，只有月亮例外，她在巨蟹虽然没有三方，但那是与她本性气质相同的星座：

The use that is to be made hereof, is only this; Saturn is more powerfull in Aquaries then Capricorn, and Jupiter in Sagittary then Pisces; Mars in Scorpio then Aries; Venus in Taurus then Libra; Mercury in Virgo then Gemini, &c. Of which may many good Uses be made in the practice of this Art; as beneath in their due places will appear.

由此得出的用法只是这样：土星在水瓶比在摩羯更有力，木星在射手比在双鱼更有力；火星在天蝎比在白羊，金星在金牛比在天秤，水星在处女比在双子，等等。在这门学问的实践中，由此可以得出许多好的用法；在后面适当的地方就会看到。

CHAP. XVII. Of the Head and Tail of the Dragon.

第十七章　论龙头与龙尾。

EVer remember, that the head and tail of the Dragon are not signs nor Planets, neither any Constellations; only Nodes and Places of the Ecliptick which the Moon cutteth, they have no Aspect to any Planet; but they may be, and are aspected by them; as touching their motion, it is according to the motion of the Moon.

要永远记住，龙头和龙尾既不是星座也不是行星，也不是任何星群；只是黄道上被月亮穿过的交点与位置，它们对任何行星都不投射相位；但它们可以、也确实被诸行星照到；至于它们的运动，是随月亮的运动而定的。

Their Nature is various according as they may be placed and aspected; some of the Ancients have maintained that the head is good and fortunate; the tail bad and infortunate naturally, without any exception; others are of a contrary opinion, and say the Head is good when well placed and fortunately aspected by the benevolents and fortunate Planets; but when afflicted and aspected by the malevolents it is bad:

它们的本性随所在之处与所受的相位而不同；有些古人主张龙头本性吉而有利，龙尾本性凶而不利，毫无例外；另一些人意见相反，说龙头在位置好、受吉星即仁慈吉利的行星以吉相位照看时是吉的；但受凶星侵害、被凶星照到时就是凶的：

Also that the Tail is good with the good Planets, viz. being joyned with them, or in aspect therewith, and bad with the bad; and some again will have the Head when joyned with the Malevolents to be good, and with the Benevolents bad: also the Tayl when joyned, or in configuration with the Fortunes, they say is bad, and with the Infortunes good; for my part, I have still (by that little observation I have made) found the Head to be good, and the Tail bad and unfortunate, as is the nature of Saturn and Mars naturally, but accidentally they may also sometimes be both good and bad, I mean contrary to what they are generally reputed; thou mayst follow which thou pleasest; experience will be thy best rule when thou hast done all; therefore let that together with reason be thy guide, till thou canst inform thy self in what is not fully comprehended by thee.

又说龙尾与吉星同在即与它们会合或成相位时为吉，与凶星同在则为凶；又有人主张龙头与凶星会合时为吉，与吉星会合时为凶：又说龙尾与吉星会合或成格局时为凶，与凶星则为吉；就我而言，凭我所做的那一点点观察，我始终发现龙头是吉的，龙尾是凶而不吉的，如同土星和火星的本性那样；但偶然之下它们有时也可能吉、也可能凶，我是说与它们一般所认为的相反；你可以随你喜欢追随哪一种；你做尽一切之后，经验会是你最好的准绳；所以就让经验与理性一同做你的向导，直到你能弄明白你尚未完全领会之处。
