卷二·第四十二至四十三章　十二宫的划分、二十三个术语与起盘法

CHAP. XLII. Of the division of the Houses into twelve equal parts.

第四十二章　论把诸宫分成十二个相等的部分。

NOw then you are first to know that the Horizon cutteth or divideth the Heavens into two Hemispheres, the upper and the lower, parting six of the houses into one Hemisphere, and six into the other, viz. the upper hath 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, and 7th. houses, the lower the 6, 4, 5, 3. the 2d. and first house.

那么你首先要知道，地平圈把天切分成两个半球，即上半球与下半球，把六个宫分在一个半球，六个分在另一个：上半球有第十二、十一、十、九、八和第七宫，下半球有第六、四、五、三、第二和第一宫。

And as the Heavens are divided into two Hemispheres by the Horizon, so are they also cut by the Meridian into two equal parts, so that by these two Circles the Heavens are divided into four equal parts, and every of the parts by sections and points of other Circles are divided into three parts, so that the whole Heavens are cut into 12. equal parts; which the most learned in this Art have called Mansions or houses.

天既由地平圈分成两个半球，又被子午圈切成相等的两部分，所以由这两个圆，天被分成四个相等的部分，而每一部分又由其他圆的截段与交点分成三份，于是整个天被切成十二个相等的部分；此学最渊博的人把它们称为宅或宫。

The division which the Meridian makes, is to divide the Heavens into the Oriental and Occidental parts, six houses being Oriental, six Occidental, or so inclining: Oriental are the third, second, first, twelfth, eleventh and tenth; Occidental ninth, eighth, seventh, sixth, fifth and fourth.

子午圈所作的划分，是把天分成东方与西方两部分，六个宫属东方，六个属西方，或者说偏向东方、西方：东方的是第三、二、一、十二、十一和第十宫；西方的是第九、八、七、六、五和第四宫。

Now you must know that the four equal parts abovesaid are called (by the learned in this Science) quadrants, because each part is the quarter or fourth part of the Heaven.

现在你要知道，上述四个相等的部分，（此学中的学者）称为象限，因为每一部分是天的四分之一。

The first Quadrant is that part of the Heaven which lieth between the middle of the Heaven and the Ascendent or Horoscope; and this is the Oriental, Ascending, Infant, Masculine, Sanguine and vernal Quarter, and it hath the twelfth, eleventh, and tenth houses.

第一象限是天顶与上升即命度之间的那部分天；这是东方的、上升的、婴儿的、阳性的、多血质的、春季的四分之一，包含第十二、十一和第十宫。

The second Quadrant is those three houses, or that part lying between the points of the tenth and seventh, and this is the Youthfull, Feminine, Meridional, Cholerick, Summer Quarter, containing the ninth, eighth and seventh houses.

第二象限是那三个宫，即第十宫与第七宫两点之间的那部分，这是青年的、阴性的、南方的、胆汁质的、夏季的四分之一，包含第九、八、七宫。

The third Quadrant is from the point of the seventh house to the Imum Coeli or point of the fourth, and is called the Occidental, Manly, Masculine, Melancholy and Autumnal Quarter, including the sixth, fifth and fourth houses.

第三象限从第七宫的宫头到天底，即第四宫的宫头，称为西方的、壮年的、阳性的、忧郁质的、秋季的四分之一，包括第六、五、四宫。

The fourth Quadrant is from the Imum Coeli to the point of the Horoscope or Ascendent, and is the Septentrional, Feminine, Phlegmatick, old Age, and Winter Quarter.

第四象限从天底到命度即上升的宫头，是北方的、阴性的、黏液质的、老年的、冬季的四分之一。

The Angles are the most powerfull houses; for a Planet therein hath more power and efficacy then another (in any other house) that is but equally dignified: but know that the houses are in strength as followeth, yet Ptolomie preferreth the mid-heaven, &c.

角宫是最有力的宫；因为在角宫里的行星，比另一颗尊贵相等而在其他任何宫里的行星更有力量与功效；但要知道各宫的强弱次序如下，不过托勒密更推重天顶，等等。

1, 10, 7, 4, 11, 9, 5, 2, 3, 8, 6, 12.

一、十、七、四、十一、九、五、二、三、八、六、十二。

So that the meaning thereof is no more but thus; A Planet in the 1. and another in the 10. equally dignified, that hath more power which is in the Ascendent; and likewise that in the 10. precedeth that in the 7. and so know of the rest. And so much of the divisions of the twelve houses.

这意思不过是这样：一颗行星在第一宫，另一颗在第十宫，尊贵相等，那么在上升的那颗更有力；同样在第十宫的胜过在第七宫的，其余照此类推。关于十二宫的划分就讲到这里。

Chap. XLIII. Containing some Terms of Art very necessary to be known: as also Instructions how to erect a Figure of Heaven.

第四十三章　包含一些必须知道的术语，以及如何起天盘的指导。

AMongst the Planets here are several things to be known of all that study this Science, and they are in number which are most material 23. therefore I would have thee diligently observe this Chapter.

关于诸行星，凡学此学的人都有若干事项必须知道，最要紧的共二十三项；所以我要你用心留意这一章。

Direction, Retrogradation, Stationary, Application, Separation, Prohibition, Refrenation, Translation, Reception, Frustration, Peregrination, Combustion, Cazimi, under the Sun beams, void of Course, besieging, Oriental, Occidental, Superior, Inferior, Athazer, Almuten and Haiz.

顺行、逆行、留、入相、离相、阻止、退缩、光线传递、接纳、挫败、游离、焦伤、日核、在太阳光下、空亡、被围、东出、西入、上位、下位、阿塔泽尔、胜星与海兹。

A Planet is said to be direct when he moveth in his Natural motion, directly forward as Saturn in the first degree of Aries, goeth into the 2, 3, and so forward; this is direction.

一颗行星以其自然运动径直向前行时，就说它顺行，例如土星在白羊第一度，走进第二、第三度，依次往前；这就是顺行。

Retrogradation, or a Planet is said to be Retrograde when he goeth backward or contrary to the succession of the signs, as Saturn in the first degree of Aries, going into the 30, 29, and 28 degrees of Pisces, &c. is Retrograde, or goeth backward.

逆行，即一颗行星逆着星座的次序往后走时，就说它逆行，例如土星在白羊第一度，走进双鱼第三十、二十九、二十八度等等，就是逆行，即往后走。

Stationary is, when a Planet stands still, or moveth neither backward nor forward, as the Superiors do sometimes four days together, &c. as you have heard before, and this happeneth both before direction and retrogradation.

留，是行星站着不动，既不往后也不往前，如上位行星有时一连四天如此，等等，如你前面听过的；这发生在顺行之前，也发生在逆行之前。

Application is, when two Planets (it mattereth not which) draw neer the rays or bodies of each other by Conjunction or Aspect; and this may be done three ways; yet you are to know that a more weighty Planet, or that which is superiour cannot apply unto the lighter or inferiour, except when he is retrograde.

入相，是两颗行星（哪两颗无关紧要）以会合或相位趋近彼此的光线或星体；这可以有三种方式；不过你要知道，较重的行星即上位行星，不能入相于较轻的或下位的行星，除非它在逆行。

The first manner of Application is when two Planets are direct, the weightier in more degrees, and the lighter in fewer; as if Saturn be in five degrees of Aries, and Jupiter in three, here Jupiter applies unto Saturn by Conjunction, and this is a direct Application.

第一种入相方式是两颗行星都顺行，较重的度数多，较轻的度数少；例如土星在白羊五度，木星在三度，这里木星以会合入相于土星，这是顺行的入相。

The second when both are Retrograde, as Jupiter in three degrees of Aries, and ♄ in the first, here Jupiter applies unto the Conjunction of Saturn by a Retrograde motion.

第二种是两颗都逆行，例如木星在白羊三度，土星在一度，这里木星以逆行运动入相于与土星的会合。

The third is when the one is Retrograde and in more degrees of a sign, and the other direct and in less, as if Jupiter were in four degrees of Aries direct, and Saturn in seven Retrograde, here Saturn applyeth to the Conjunction of Iupiter, and Jupiter to him, and this is a mutual Conjunction; understand the same when they apply by Aspect.

第三种是一颗逆行而在星座的度数较多，另一颗顺行而度数较少，例如木星顺行在白羊四度，土星逆行在七度，这里土星入相于与木星的会合，木星也入相于他，这是相互的会合；以相位入相时，也照同样理解。

Separation is, where two Planets have been either in Partile Conjunction or aspect, and are going from it; as if Saturn be in 8. degrees of Aries, and Jupiter in 9. here Jupiter is separated one degree from the Partile Conjunction, yet he shall not be said to be rotally separated till he be the full half orb of Jupiter, and his own half orb distant from him; for every Planet both in Conjunction and Aspect is admitted his half orb and the half orb of the other Planet joyned unto him; as the half orb of Saturn you have heard is 4. degrees 30. minutes, and so likewise Jupiters, the which being added together make 9. whole degrees; and therefore till Jupiter be thus many degrees elongated or separated from Saturn, he shall not be said to be fully separated, neither shall their signification be inffectual for that time; understand the same of an aspect still admitting or allowing the half orbs of both Planets, &c.

离相，是两颗行星曾经成精确的会合或相位，现在正从中离开；例如土星在白羊八度，木星在九度，这里木星离开精确会合一度，但要到他离开土星达到木星的半容许度加上土星的半容许度之后，才说他完全离开；因为每颗行星不论在会合还是相位中，都容许有自己的半容许度，再加上与之结合的那颗行星的半容许度；土星的半容许度你听过是四度三十分，木星的也一样，两者相加正好九整度；所以木星离开土星没到这么多度以前，不说他完全离开，在那段时间里他们的意义也不算失效；相位也照同样理解，始终容许两颗行星的半容许度，等等。

Prohibition is, when two Planets are applying to Conjunction or Aspect, and before they come to joyn themselves another comes to Conjunction or aspect of the Planet applyed to; as if Saturn were in 10. degrees of Aries, and Jupiter in five applying to the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in four degrees of Aries; here Mars being swifter then Jupiter, comes first to the Conjunction of Saturn, and prohibites Iupiter, &c. the same observe in an Aspect.

阻止，是两颗行星正入相于会合或相位，在它们相合之前，另一颗行星先与被入相的那颗成会合或相位；例如土星在白羊十度，木星在五度，正入相于与土星的会合，而火星在白羊四度；这里火星比木星快，先到与土星的会合，就阻止了木星，等等；相位也照此看。

Refrenation is, when a Planet is applying to another, either by Conjunction or Aspect, and before he cometh to be joyned he becomes Retrograde: as if Saturn be in seven degrees of Aries, and Jupiter in three, here Iupiter applies (they being both direct) to a Partile Conjunction of Saturn; but before he can attain thereunto Iupiter becometh Retrograde, and so refrains by going backwards to come to the Conjunction of Saturn, who goeth direct forward.

退缩，是一颗行星正以会合或相位入相于另一颗，在相合之前他转为逆行：例如土星在白羊七度，木星在三度，这里木星（两者都顺行）入相于与土星的精确会合；但他还没到达，木星就转为逆行，于是往后退，不再去与顺行向前的土星会合。

Translation of light and nature is, when a light Planet separateth from a more weighty one and presently applyeth to another more heavy; as Saturn in 16 degrees of Aries and Iupiter in 9. and Mars in 10. here Mars separateth from the Conjunction of Iupiter, and translateth the light and nature of Iupiter to Saturn, to whom he next applies; and this is in the like manner done by Aspect.

光与性质的传递，是一颗轻的行星离开一颗较重的，随即又入相于另一颗更重的；例如土星在白羊十六度，木星在九度，火星在十度，这里火星离开与木星的会合，把木星的光与性质传给他接着入相的土星；以相位也可以同样做到。

Reception is, when two Planets are in each others dignities; for then they are said to receive one the other; and this may be accomplished as many ways as there are dignities of a Planet; as Saturn in Aries, and Mars in Capricorn; here is reception between Saturn & Mars by house, Aries being the house of Mars, & Capricorn the house of Saturn; so also Iupiter in Capricorn, and Mars in Cancer is reception by exaltation, Capricorn being the exaltation of Mars, and Cancer of Iupiter; In like manner Saturn in Aries, and Sol in Gemini, is reception by triplicitie; the fiery triplicity being the Suns by day, and the aëry Saturns, &c. in like manner of term and face.

接纳，是两颗行星各在对方的尊贵之中；这时就说它们彼此接纳；行星有多少种尊贵，接纳就能有多少种方式；例如土星在白羊，火星在摩羯，这里土星与火星以庙互相接纳，因为白羊是火星的庙，摩羯是土星的庙；又如木星在摩羯，火星在巨蟹，是以旺互相接纳，摩羯是火星的旺，巨蟹是木星的旺；同样土星在白羊、太阳在双子，是以三方互相接纳，因为火象三方白天属太阳，风象三方属土星，等等；界与面也照此类推。

Frustration is, when a lighter Planet would come to Conjunction with another more heavy, and before it doth accomplish it, the more weighty Planet is joyned unto another; as Saturn in 20 degrees of Aries, and Iupiter in 19, and Mars in 15, here Mars applies to the Conjunction of Iupiter; but before he can attain thereunto, he is frustrated or disappointed by Iupiter, who comes first to the Conjunction of Saturn.

挫败，是一颗较轻的行星要与另一颗较重的会合，在它完成之前，那颗较重的行星已与另一颗相合；例如土星在白羊二十度，木星在十九度，火星在十五度，这里火星入相于与木星的会合；但他还没到达，就被木星挫败或落空，因为木星先到了与土星的会合。

Peregrination is, when a Planet is in a sign wherein he is a stranger, as it were, by being neither in his own house, exaltation, triplicity, term or face, and therefore then he is very weak, as Saturn in the first 26 degrees of Aries.

游离，是一颗行星在一个星座里像个陌生人，既不在自己的庙、旺、三方、界，也不在面，所以那时他很弱；例如土星在白羊前二十六度。

Combustion is, when any Planet is not distant from the Sun eight degrees and thirty minutes either before or after his body; as Saturn in the first degree of Aries, and the Sun in 8. and Iupiter in 16. here both Saturn and Iupiter are combust of the Sun; but you shall say Iupiter is most afflicted; for that Planet to whom the Sun approaches is more daminified then that from which he separateth; and you must know that a Planet still remains under the Sun beams till he is fully elongated 17 degrees.

焦伤，是任何行星在太阳星体前后不足八度三十分之内；例如土星在白羊第一度，太阳在八度，木星在十六度，这里土星与木星都被太阳焦伤；但你要说木星受损最重，因为太阳趋近的那颗行星，比太阳正离开的那颗受害更深；你还要知道，一颗行星在完全离开太阳十七度以前，始终在太阳光下。

Cazimi or a Planet in the heart of the Sun, is when he is not distant from the Sun 17. minutes; as if Saturn be in 3. degrees 15. minutes of Aries, and the Sun in three degrees and 30. minutes of Aries.

日核，即行星在太阳之心，是它离太阳不到十七分；例如土星在白羊三度十五分，太阳在白羊三度三十分。

Void of Course is, when a Planet is separated from another, and doth not during the time of its continuance in that sign, apply again to any other.

空亡，是一颗行星离开了另一颗之后，在它留在那个星座的期间，不再入相于任何别的行星。

Besieging is, when any Planet is placed between the bodies of the two Malevolents Saturn and Mars, as if Saturn be in 5. degrees of Aries, and Mars in 15. and Iupiter in 10. here Iupiter is besieged.

被围，是任何行星被置于两颗凶星土星与火星的星体之间；例如土星在白羊五度，火星在十五度，木星在十度，这里木星就被围。

Oriental is, when a Planet riseth before the Sun.

东出，是行星先于太阳升起。

Occidental is nothing else but when a Planet setteth after the Sun, and is seen above the Horizon after him.

西入不过是行星在太阳之后落下，在太阳之后还能在地平线上看见。

Those Planets that are placed above the Globe of the Sun, are called Superiour, and they are Saturn, Iupiter, and Mars.

位于太阳天球之上的行星称为上位行星，即土星、木星与火星。

Those are inferiour that are placed under him, viz. Venus, Mercury and the Moon. ] Athazer is, when the Moon is in one degree and minute with the Sun, and when she is 12. degrees distant from him, or 45. or 90. or 155. or 168. or 180. or 192, or 215. or 270. or 348. any of these are Athazer, &c.

位于他之下的是下位行星，即金星、水星与月亮。阿塔泽尔，是月亮与太阳同度同分时，以及她离开他十二度、或四十五度、或九十度、或一百五十五度、或一百六十八度、或一百八十度、或一百九十二度、或二百一十五度、或二百七十度、或三百四十八度时，这些都是阿塔泽尔，等等。

Almuten is that Planet that bears chief Rule of any sign, or in any figures; as Saturn in Libra is Almuten, or is Almuter of Libra, because he hath both exaltation and triplicity therein, and Venus hath onely house, so that Saturn bearing chief rule, is of this sign Almuten.

胜星是对任何星座、或在任何盘里掌握主要统治权的行星；例如土星在天秤是胜星，或说是天秤的胜星，因为他在那里兼有旺与三方，而金星只有庙，所以土星掌握主要统治权，是这个星座的胜星。

Haiz is, when a masculine and diurnal Planet in the day time is above the earth, or a feminine nocturnal Planet in the night time under the earth.

海兹，是阳性的昼星在白天位于地上，或阴性的夜星在夜间位于地下。

Now to erect a figure of Heaven, or Scheme at any time, hour or minute of any year for the judging of future events (I mean by Revolutions of the years of the World, Eclipses, Comers, or great Conjunctions) you are to do no more then this.

现在，要在任何一年的任何时刻、任何钟点或分钟起天盘或星图，以判断未来的事（我是指世界年的回归、交食、彗星或大会合），你要做的不过如下。

Have regard to the place of the Sun at noon (according as you will finde in any Ephemeris) for that day wherein your figure is to be made, and see in what degrees and minutes you finde him; for if he be in any degree or minute under 30. you must then look for the same degree he is in, in your Table of houses (viz. in that page wherein you finde Sol in Aries, Sol in Taurus, &c.

看你要起盘那一天正午太阳的位置（照你在任何星历表里查到的），看他在几度几分；如果他在某度而分数不足三十，你就在宫位表里找他所在的同一度（即在你看到「太阳在白羊」「太阳在金牛」等等的那一页）。

If the Sun be then in any of these signs or any other, you must still look for your number (viz. the degree or place of the Sun) in that page where you finde the Sun in the same sign in the Table of houses that you finde him in you Ephemeris) &c.

如果太阳那时在这些星座或任何其他星座，你始终要在宫位表里太阳所在星座与你在星历表里看到的相同的那一页，找你的数（即太阳的度数或位置），等等。

But if he be in more then 30 minutes, you must look for the next greater degree; as if he be in 1. degree of Aries and 29. minutes, you are to look in your Table of houses in the page where you finde Sol in Aries for 1. degree; but if he were in one degree 30 minutes or 31. minutes, and so to the end, you are to look for 2 degrees in the aforesaid page, in that Column where you finde over the head thereof Dom. X. signifying the tenth house.

但如果他超过三十分，你就要找下一个较大的度；例如他在白羊一度二十九分，你就在宫位表「太阳在白羊」的那一页找一度；但如果他在一度三十分或三十一分，以至该度之末，你就要在上述那一页、栏头写着「第十宫」拉丁缩写（表示第十宫）的那一栏里找二度。

Having thus found out your number or place of the Sun at Noon; see what number you finde over against it in the left hand column, which is tituled time from noon in the same line, and add that number, viz. the degrees and minutes you finde there to the hour and minute of the day, for the which you would erect your Scheme.

这样找到你的数即正午太阳的位置之后，看同一行里与它相对、左边标着「自正午起的时间」那一栏里是什么数，把那个数，即你在那里找到的度与分，加到你要起盘的那天的钟点与分钟上。

And if they make not above 24 hours, look in your table of houses for the number they make in the aforesaid column of time from noon; but if they make more then 24 hours, cast away 24 hours, and enter with the remainder, and where your number falleth there is your figure.

如果加起来不超过二十四小时，就在宫位表上述「自正午起的时间」那一栏里找加得的那个数；如果超过二十四小时，就去掉二十四小时，用余数去查；你的数落在哪里，你的盘就在哪里。

For first, you are to look in the same line what is over against your number in the column of the tenth house, where you finde Dom. X. and what number you finde there you are to place upon the cusp of the tenth house in your Scheme; and then in the next colum where you finde Dom.

因为首先，你要在同一行里看与你的数相对的第十宫一栏，即写着「第十宫」字样的那一栏，在那里找到的数，就放在你盘中第十宫的宫头上；然后在下一栏，即写着「第——

XI. in the same line what degrees and minutes you finde, you are to place on the eleventh house in your figure, and so observe in the rest, viz. the twelfth, first, second, and third houses, placing as hath been said the degrees and minutes in every one which you finde in the same line over against your number on the cusps of every of these houses in your draught of the Heavens, and then fill up the other points of the Heavens thus.

十一宫」字样的那一栏，同一行里有几度几分，你就放在你盘上的第十一宫，其余也照此办理，即第十二、第一、第二、第三宫，照上面所说，把同一行里与你的数相对的度与分，分别放在你所画天盘中这几宫的宫头上；然后用下面的方法把天上其余各点填满。

First, know what houses are opposite.

第一，要知道哪些宫相对。

Secondly, what signs of the Zodiack.

第二，黄道的哪些星座相对。

Then place the signs, degrees and minutes opposite to these places you have filled upon the other vacant points.

然后把你已经填好的这些位置所对的星座、度数与分数，放到其余空着的各点上。

The houses opposite are the first and seventh, the second and eighth, the third and ninth, the fourth and tenth, the fifth and eleventh, the sixth and twelfth, and therefore for our more ready apprehension we place them thus.

相对的宫是第一与第七、第二与第八、第三与第九、第四与第十、第五与第十一、第六与第十二；所以为了更便于领会，我们这样排列。

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,

一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十、十一、十二，

Which shews the first is opposite to the seventh, and the seventh to the first, the second to the eighth, and the eighth to the second, the third to the ninth, and the ninth to the third, &c.

这表示第一宫对第七宫，第七宫对第一宫；第二对第八，第八对第二；第三对第九，第九对第三，等等。

Signs opposite are ♈ to ♎, ♉ to ♏, ♊ to ♐, ♋ to ♑, ♌ to ♒, and ♍, to ♓, which may also be thus ranked.

相对的星座是白羊对天秤，金牛对天蝎，双子对射手，巨蟹对摩羯，狮子对水瓶，处女对双鱼，也可以这样排列。

♈, ♉, ♊, ♋, ♌, ♍, ♎, ♏, ♐, ♑, ♒, ♓,

白羊、金牛、双子、巨蟹、狮子、处女、天秤、天蝎、射手、摩羯、水瓶、双鱼，

So that it is clear, ♈ is opposite to ♎ to ♈; ♉ to ♏ to ♉, &c.

由此可见，白羊对天秤，天秤对白羊；金牛对天蝎，天蝎对金牛，等等。

Wherefore we shall suppose in our Scheme we have the 1. deg. of ♈, and the second min. upon the ascendent or first house: why then because the 7th. is opposite unto the first, and ♎ to ♈, we are to place the 1. deg. 2. min. of ♎ upon the seventh.

所以假定我们的盘里，上升即第一宫上是白羊一度、第二分：那么因为第七宫与第一宫相对，天秤与白羊相对，我们就把天秤一度二分放在第七宫上。

Also it upon the 2d. there were the 3d. deg. of Taurus, and the 4th min. we are to place the 3. deg. and 4th. min. of ♏ upon the 8th. house, because the 8th. is opposite to the second, and ♏ to ♉, and so of the rest; remember still to place the opposite sign, and the same degrees and minutes on the opposite house, and you cannot erre; and thus much shall suffice at this time.

又如果第二宫上是金牛第三度、第四分，我们就把天蝎三度四分放在第八宫上，因为第八宫与第二宫相对，天蝎与金牛相对，其余也一样；始终记住，在相对的宫上放相对的星座和同样的度数与分数，你就不会出错；这一次讲这些就够了。

FINIS.

（卷二）终。
