卷三·第五节第五至七章　拆屋、买房地产业与买农地

CHAP. V. Of pulling down or destroying of Houses, or any Fabrick whatsoever.

第五章　论拆毁或毁坏房屋，或任何建筑物。

LIke as the wisest of Mortals very well once said, There is a time to build, and a time to pull down what hath been built (there being a time for all things under the Sun) having given you the time of building, it resteth you know also the time of pulling down what hath been built; for there is nothing sublunary permanent, or that is not subject both to change and destruction, &c.

正如凡人中最有智慧的那一位曾说得极好：建造有时，拆毁所建的也有时（日光之下凡事都有定时）；既然已经把建造的时间交给了你，剩下的就是你也要知道拆毁所建之物的时间；因为月下的一切没有永存的，没有不受变化与毁坏支配的，等等。

Haly saith, when you would pull down or spoil any building, place the significators contrary to what you have in building.

哈利说，当你要拆毁或损毁任何建筑时，把征象星安排得与建造时相反。

Put the Moon in a fiery sign, and its Lord; let the Ascendent also be a fiery sign, and the Lord thereof in a fiery sign or an aëry: but Athabarus a learned Author saith, let the Ascendent be a sign of right Ascentions, and the Lord thereof Occidental, slow in motion, going also to a sign in which he is afflicted in Fall or Detriment, let him also be Retrograde, and falling from an angle; and let also the Moon be decreasing in light and motion, cadent from angles, and joyned to Planets very weak and unfortunate, and if possible, let her be in Scorpio, or Capricorn, and under the earth, or in configuration with a Planet under the Earth, Meridional descending, and joyned to retrograde Planets, and let her be in the last Square with the Sun:

把月亮放在火象星座，她的主星也是；让上升也是火象星座，上升主星在火象或风象星座：但博学的作者阿尔塔巴鲁斯说，让上升是直升星座，上升主星西入，行速迟缓，并正走向一个他在那里受害、在落或在陷的星座，也让他逆行，从角宫落下；还让月亮在光与行速上都在亏减，从角宫落下，与非常虚弱不幸的行星相连，若可能，让她在天蝎或摩羯，在地平之下，或与地下的一颗行星成格局，在南纬下降，与逆行的行星相连，并让她与太阳处在最后的四分（下弦）：

Let the Lord of the fourth, and sign thereof be weak and afflicted; as also all the other significators, and the Planets to whom they are joyned or in Aspect with; but chiefly in this work debilitate Mars, if you cannot all what you have heard; for as he is against building, so is he also against pulling down what is built.

让第四宫主星和第四宫的星座虚弱受害；其他一切征象星，以及它们相连或成相位的行星，也都这样；但若你不能做到所听过的一切，在这件工作中主要是削弱火星；因为他既反对建造，也反对拆毁所建之物。

But if it be so that you care not much whether the destroyed place or house be rebuilt or no, let the Moon be separated from the Malevolents, and joyned to the Fortunes or in reception of them, and this will cause the Fabrick so destroyed to be the easier rebuilt, if ever taken in hand.

但若事情是这样，你不大在乎被拆毁的地方或房屋是否重建，就让月亮离开凶星，与吉星相连或得吉星接纳，这会使那样拆毁的建筑若有一天动工重建，就比较容易建起来。

CHAP. VI. Containing rules of Elections in buying of Land, Houses or Heritages.

第六章　包含买地、买房或买产业的择日规则。

LOok in every Election or Work, you have a special care you exactly know which are your true significators; wherefore in this matter the Ascendent, its Lord, and Planet from whom the Moon last separated, are the true significators of the Buyer.

注意在每一次择日或工作中，你都要特别小心确切地认得哪些是你真正的征象星；所以在这件事上，上升、上升主星以及月亮最后离开的那颗行星，是买方真正的征象星。

The Lord of the seventh house, and the seventh house it self, and the Planet the Moon applies to, of the Seller; Also the Seeds and Plants sown or growing on the ground.

第七宫主星和第七宫本身，以及月亮入相的那颗行星，是卖方的征象星；也代表地里已播下或正在生长的种子与植物。

The fourth house, its Lord, and Planets therein placed, and the Moon are significators of the house land or heritage to be bought and sold.

第四宫、其主星、其中的行星以及月亮，是要买卖的房屋、土地或产业的征象星。

The tenth, the Lord thereof, and Planets therein located, signifie the price, viz. whether it will be cheap or dear; it signifyeth also the wood or timber on the ground.

第十宫、其主星以及其中的行星，代表价格，即是便宜还是贵；也代表地上的树林或木材。

Having thus rightly understood the ground of your Work, you will be the better able to go through with the same; wherefore then in buying or purchasing houses, land and heritages, fortifie chiefly the fourth House and Lord thereof; also the Moon and its Dispositor and Part of Fortune, and its Lord and those Planets therein placed, let them be no wise impedited, or Retrograde in Fall or Detriment, or in any Aspect of the Malevolents, especially of Mars, for these cause the house or land so purchased to be soon lost, and of no continuance with your Posterity.

对你的工作的根据有了这样正确的理解，你就更能把它做好；那么在买进或购置房屋、土地和产业时，主要要加强第四宫及其主星；也加强月亮及其定位星，以及福点及其主星和其中的行星，不要让它们受阻，或逆行、在落或在陷，或与凶星成任何相位，尤其是火星，因为这些会使那样买来的房屋或土地很快失去，在你的后代手里不能长久。

But in making your Bargain, or that your Bargain may be good and to your advantage, also that you may assuredly have the Land or thing to be purchased, if you please; fortifie the Ascendent, its Lord, the Planet from whom the Moon last separated, also the Moon her self, and her Dispositor; the fourth, its Lord and Planets therein, and Part of Fortune and its Dispositor, also place the Moon in Cancer or Taurus, if possible, and let her behold the Lord of the Ascendent or sign ascending with a Sextile or Trine, and be in good houses of Heaven, and the Lord of the seventh applying to the Lord of the Ascendent, or disposed of by the Lord of the Ascendent or in reception therewith; let the fourth house also be in Taurus, Leo, or Aquaries, and the Lord of the Angles Oriental and free from combustion.

但在讲定买卖时，或为使你的买卖好而对你有利，也为使你若愿意就一定能得到要买的土地或东西；就加强上升、其主星、月亮最后离开的那颗行星，也加强月亮本身和她的定位星；第四宫、其主星和其中的行星，以及福点及其定位星，若可能，还把月亮放在巨蟹或金牛，让她以六分或三分照看上升主星或上升的星座，并在天上的好宫位，第七宫主星入相于上升主星，或由上升主星作定位星，或与之互相接纳；也让第四宫在金牛、狮子或水瓶，诸角宫的主星东出，免于焦伤。

Let also the Fortunes (in purchasing Lands or Heritages) have chief power in the Angles, if not in all the Angles, yet in the first and fourth; and in the other two, place the Luminaries beholding the Ascendent and fourth or one of them, especially the Ascendent, with a Sextile or Trine; and see that the Lords of the Angles be not Retrograde, nor a Retrograde Planet placed in any of them; nor in the eleventh, or ninth, nor the Lord of the fourth of a fiery nature, nor any of that nature therein placed, especially if they are not beheld by the Benevolent Aspects of the Fortunes.

还要让吉星（在买地或产业时）在诸角宫有主要的力量，即使不在所有角宫，也要在第一和第四宫；在另外两个角宫，放两光，以六分或三分照看上升和第四宫或其中之一，尤其是上升；并看诸角宫的主星不逆行，也没有逆行的行星在其中任何一宫；也不在第十一或第九宫，第四宫主星不是火性的，也没有这种性质的行星在其中，尤其若它们没有受吉星的善意相位照看。

And note that if the Lord of the fourth be of a watry nature, or of a cold and moist temper; let not Saturn behold him or it, and let not the Lord of the tenth be unfortunate.

还要注意，若第四宫主星是水性的，或冷湿的气质；就不要让土星照看他或它，也不要让第十宫主星不吉。

Fortunes or Planets essentially dignified in the fourth, or the Lord of the fourth, and the sign of the fourth fortunate, denote the goodness and pleasantness of the Land, House or Heritage; also that it is a fertile and good soil, and the seeds already sown or to be sown therein shall be fruitfull, &c.

吉星或有必然尊贵的行星在第四宫，或第四宫主星和第四宫的星座吉利，表示那土地、房屋或产业良好宜人；也表示那是肥沃的好土，已经播下或将要播下的种子会结实，等等。

Such in the seventh, and the sign and the Lord thereof so disposed; shew the Herbs, Sets and Plants, and the culture thereon are pleasant, good and fruitfull.

这样的星在第七宫，第七宫的星座及其主星也这样安置；表示地上的菜蔬、秧苗和植物以及其上的耕作宜人、良好、多产。

In the tenth, the Trees are tall, sound, fruitfull, and good, that there is much timber, or what is there, is excellent good and commodious.

在第十宫，表示树木高大、健壮、多产而良好，有很多木材，或那里有的木材极好而合用。

Know also that the Infortunes or weak Planets in these places cause mischief and impediment, according to the nature of the Planets and the places in which they are; therefore look that these Angles be free from them, and especially the seventh house; for the Malevolents there, cause mischief, malice and deceit of the Husband-men or Tenents of the ground or houses; Saturn therein placed, shews their cozening and lying; Mars denotes them lyars, unconstant and thieves.

还要知道，凶星或虚弱的行星在这些位置，会照行星的本性和所在的位置造成祸害与阻碍；所以要看这些角宫免于它们，尤其是第七宫；因为凶星在那里，造成农夫或土地、房屋的佃户的祸害、恶意与欺诈；土星在那里，表示他们诓骗说谎；火星表示他们是骗子、反复无常，还是贼。

CHAP. VII. Of Buying of Land, or ground for Husbandry, and not to build on.

第七章　论买地，即不为建房、而为耕作的土地。

IN buying of Land then not to build on, but for to manure and husband for thy profit and advantage, fortifie the Ascendent and its Lord, the Moon and its dispositor, Part of Fortune also and its Lord, also Saturn, and if it be possible, put him in Libra, or if the Land be to be bought in the day time, place him in Capricorn or Aquaries; but if in the night, put him in Aries, Leo or Sagittary, or Libra; let him also be in a Trine of Jupiter, or in a Sextile with him, or the fourth house; but by all means see that Mars behold them not by any Aspect, and let the Moon be in the increase of her light, viz. in the first Square or Quarter, beholding Saturn with a Sextile or Trine, or that Planet that beholds him.

那么在买不为建房、而为施肥耕作以求你的利益与好处的土地时，要加强上升及其主星，月亮及其定位星，福点及其主星，还有土星，若可能，把他放在天秤，或若是在白天买地，把他放在摩羯或水瓶；若在夜间，把他放在白羊、狮子或射手，或天秤；也让他与木星成三分，或与他成六分，或与第四宫成三分、六分；但无论如何要看火星不以任何相位照看它们，并让月亮在光的增长之中，即在第一个四分或第一个象限，以六分或三分照看土星，或照看那颗照看土星的行星。

And if the Moon behold Jupiter, it signifieth that the land shall have labourers enough, that there shall be many fruitfull Trees and Plants, and that the land shall be very fertile; the same understand if he be in configuration with Saturn, &c.

若月亮照看木星，表示那土地会有足够的劳力，会有许多结实的树木与植物，土地会非常肥沃；若他与土星成格局，也照此理解，等等。

But if Saturn cannot be made to be beheld of Jupiter, yet let Venus behold him, and fortifie the watry signs, for the Fortunes shall be stronger in them then in the aëry; let the Moon be in the tenth in Taurus, beholding the lord of the Ascendent with a benevolent Aspect, and let the Moon and the sign ascending be free from all manner of misfortune.

但若无法使土星受木星照看，也要让金星照看他，并加强水象星座，因为吉星在水象星座里比在风象星座里更强；让月亮在第十宫、在金牛，以吉相位照看上升主星，并让月亮和上升的星座免于一切不幸。
