卷三·第五节第八至十三章　引水挖井、耕地、租赁、栽种、播种与驱邪

CHAP. VIII. Of bringing of Water to a house, either by Conduit, Pipe or Pump; and of digging of Wells.

第八章　论用水渠、水管或水泵把水引进房屋，以及挖井。

AS in the foregoing Elections, so in this it is necessary you fortifie the Ascendent, and let it be one of the watry signs as also its Lord, and let him be oriental and free from all manner of Impediment, and in an Angle in his own dignities essential; Let Saturn also be oriental and free from misfortune, and in the eleventh house, but look that the Moon be not in Conjunction with them.

同前面的择日一样，在这件事上你也必须加强上升，并让它是一个水象星座，上升主星也是，并让他东出，免于一切受阻，在角宫，在他自己的必然尊贵之中；也让土星东出，免于不幸，在第十一宫，但要看月亮不与它们会合。

Fortify also Iupiter, and let there be no Infortune or malevolent planet in the tenth house, for that it will cause rather discension then ascension of the water.

也要加强木星，不要让任何凶星或凶恶的行星在第十宫，因为那会使水下降而不是上升。

Let the Moon also and its dispositor be well dignified, and in the third or fifth houses of Heaven in an Earthy sign; but if she will needs be above the earth, place her in the ninth, tenth, or eleventh; Alkindus adviseth to place the Moon, Ascendent, or any other Angle free from all manner of misfortune or impedition; and let her be in her first Quarter, or from her Conjunction to the first Square of the Sun increasing in light and motion:

也让月亮及其定位星有良好的尊贵，在天上的第三或第五宫，在土象星座；但若她一定要在地平之上，就把她放在第九、第十或第十一宫；阿尔金杜斯主张把月亮、上升或任何别的角宫放得免于一切不幸或受阻；并让她在她的第一个象限，即从她与太阳会合到与太阳成第一个四分之间，在光与行速上都在增长：

But know, that if the Moon be in any house under the earth, you must fortifie her well, and place her in configuration of a benovolent Planet in the tenth, if possible; or however of one above the earth: and if she be above the earth, let her by no means behold any Planet below the earth, except with reception by house or exaltation and in essential dignities.

但要知道，若月亮在地平之下的任何一宫，你必须好好加强她，若可能，让她与第十宫中的一颗吉星成格局；或至少与地平之上的一颗成格局：若她在地平之上，无论如何不要让她照看地平之下的任何行星，除非带着庙或旺的接纳，并在必然尊贵之中。

It is necessary also you have regard to Part of Fortune and the Lord of the Conjunction of the Luminaries praeventional or before your Election, and fortifie them both, essentially.

你还必须留意福点，以及你择日之前、即前一次两光会合的主星，并在必然尊贵上加强两者。

But if you cannot observe all this, yet as much as you can; but chiefly fortifie the Moon, the Lord of the Ascendent and Mid-heaven, and the cusps thereof, especially the cusp of the tenth.

但若这一切你不能遵守，也要尽量遵守；但主要是加强月亮、上升主星和天顶主星，以及它们的宫头，尤其是第十宫的宫头。

CHAP. IX. Of Tillage, or Manuring of the Ground.

第九章　论耕地，或给土地施肥。

MArk the first hour thou beginnest to Till, or Manure the ground; and fortifie the Ascendent, the Lord thereof, and the Moon, and the Planet who is the Dispositor of the Moon, so that they be received of the Fortunes, or such Planets as are free from misfortune and well dignified, and that out of Angles, or succedent houses at least.

记下你开始耕地或施肥的第一个时辰；加强上升、上升主星、月亮，以及作月亮定位星的那颗行星，使它们得到吉星的接纳，或得到免于不幸、有良好尊贵的行星的接纳，而且是从角宫，或至少从续宫接纳。

But if all this cannot exactly be followed, yet let the Moon be fortunately received, and that out of an angle by a Fortune; and if possible, place those Planets you can most fortifie, in the second house; also fortifie Part of Fortune, and the Lord of the praeventional Conjunction of the Luminaries, and place him an angle, &c.

但若这一切不能确切遵守，也要让月亮得到吉利的接纳，而且是由一颗吉星从角宫接纳；若可能，把你最能加强的那些行星放在第二宫；也加强福点，以及前一次两光会合的主星，把他放在角宫，等等。

CHAP. X. Of Renting or Hiring, and Letting of Houses, Land or Fruit, or any other thing to be Let or Hired.

第十章　论租进或雇用，以及出租房屋、土地或果实，或任何别的可以出租或租进的东西。

IN this, the Ascendent and its Lord are Significators of the Hirer or Farmer; the seventh and its Lord of the Letter or owner of the House, Land, or thing to be hired or Let; the mid-heaven, of the price; the fourth house, of the end of the business.

在这件事上，上升及其主星是租方即佃户的征象星；第七宫及其主星是出租方即房屋、土地或所租之物主人的征象星；天顶代表租金；第四宫代表事情的结局。

Fortifie therefore the ascendent, its Lord, the Moon and her dispositor, for the ascendent or its Lord being so constituted, denotes the hirer or farmer to be just, good and honest, and willingly and readily performing what he hath promised to the letter or owner; If he be weak and afflicted, as also the cusp of the ascendent, Judge the contrary; after the same manner understand of the significators of the Owner or Letter.

所以要加强上升、其主星、月亮及其定位星，因为上升或其主星处于这样的状况，表示租方或佃户公正、良善、诚实，乐意而爽快地履行他对出租方或主人的许诺；若他虚弱受害，上升宫头也是这样，就判断相反；对房主或出租方的征象星也照同样的方式理解。

Wherefore let both significators be well fortified, and the Lord of the seventh applying to the Lord of the ascendent if you would have the Owner or Letter be reasonable or desirous to deal with the Farmer or Hirer at a reasonable rate, and to cause him to have a good penyworth (as we call it) but if you would that it succed or fall out to the advantage of the Letter or Owner, let the Lord of the ascendent apply to the Lord of the seventh.

所以要让两方的征象星都得到良好的加强，若你希望房主或出租方通情达理，或愿意以合理的价格与佃户或租方打交道，使他得到（照我们的说法）物有所值的便宜，就让第七宫主星入相于上升主星；但若你希望事情成功或结果对出租方或主人有利，就让上升主星入相于第七宫主星。

Some Authors (and that with good reason) have assigned the ascendent, its Lord and planet from whom the Moon is separating, to signify or be significators of the Farmer or Hirer; if he be the first mover or desirer to traffique or deal in the Farming the Land or house; The seventh, the planet Lord thereof, and the planet the Moon next applys unto, of the Letter or Owner: But if the Owner be the first mover of the business, Judge the contrary.

有些作者（而且有充分的理由）定上升、其主星以及月亮正离开的那颗行星，来代表或作为佃户或租方的征象星；如果他是首先发起、或想要做这笔租地租房生意的人；第七宫、作其主星的行星，以及月亮下一个入相的行星，代表出租方或主人：但若是主人首先发起这件事，就判断相反。

And as the fourth house hath signification of the end of the thing, so also hath the Moon and the sign wherein she is.

正如第四宫代表事情的结局，月亮和她所在的星座也代表结局。

Know then that in Electing a time for this business, it will not be amiss to fortifie Jupiter and Saturn, beholding each other with a benevolent aspect, for this causeth both the Renter and Letter to be faithful in keeping their promises and bargain with each other.

那么要知道，在为这件事择时时，加强木星和土星，并让它们以吉相位互相照看，不会有错，因为这使租方与出租方都忠实地遵守彼此的承诺与约定。

However observe in this matter chiefly to fortifie the Moon and its dispositor; the ascendent, seventh and their Lords, the Lord of the tenth and fourth, as also their houses and let the significators apply to each other as you have heard according to the intent and purpose of your Election; and remember that the application of the planets the Moon separates from and applyes to, have the same significations as you have heard the Lords of the seventh and ascendent have.

不过在这件事上主要要加强月亮及其定位星；上升、第七宫及其主星，第十宫和第四宫的主星，以及它们的宫；并照你择日的意图与目的，让征象星如你所听过的那样互相入相；还要记住，月亮离开的行星与入相的行星，其入相与你听过的第七宫主星与上升主星的入相意义相同。

CHAP. XI. of Planting of Trees or Graffing.

第十一章　论栽树或嫁接。

USually in this work these Rules are to be observed. Let the Moon be in Taurus, Aquaries, Leo, Pisces or Virgo, but especially in Taurus, and in Sextile or Trine of Venus; but if it be so you can not place her in Taurus, let her be in Aquaries for that it is next of these abovenamed signs to be chosen; And if you can not place her in Aquaries, let her be in Leo beheld of a benevolent planet out of a watry sign; let her also be well dignified, I mean free from the ill aspects of the Malevolents; Let Saturn be also direct and in the ascendent, eleventh, fifth, or second, in his own essential dignities.

通常在这件工作中要遵守这些规则。让月亮在金牛、水瓶、狮子、双鱼或处女，但尤其是在金牛，并与金星成六分或三分；但若你不能把她放在金牛，就让她在水瓶，因为在上述诸星座中，它是其次该选的；若你不能把她放在水瓶，就让她在狮子，受一颗吉利行星从水象星座照看；也让她有良好的尊贵，我是说免于凶星的恶相位；也让土星顺行，在上升、第十一、第五或第二宫，在他自己的必然尊贵之中。

And if you cannot place Saturn in the Ascendent, let Jupiter be there, and in Sextile or Trine of Saturn; however let Saturn be in what place of the figure you please, he ought to be well aspected by Jupiter, and let him be in a place where he hath essential dignities.

若你不能把土星放在上升，就让木星在那里，并与土星成六分或三分；不管怎样，土星放在盘中你愿意的任何位置，他都应当受木星的良好照看，并让他在一个他有必然尊贵的位置。

But if neither of these be placed in the Ascendent, let the Moon be there, or in the tenth, eleventh, fifth, or third, free from all impediment; for you must have a special care that in all Plantings and Sowings, the Moon be chiefly free from misfortune, and not only so, but well dignified essentially, and upheld by the other Planets, viz. the Fortunes and their benevolent rays.

但若这两颗都不在上升，就让月亮在那里，或在第十、第十一、第五或第三宫，免于一切受阻；因为你必须特别小心，在一切栽种与播种中，主要让月亮免于不幸，不仅如此，还要在必然尊贵上良好，并得到其他行星即吉星及其善意光线的扶持。

In all Plantings and Sowings (as you have heard already in buildings) see that you debilitate Mars, Note. and hinder him from any power in your work; let the Moon also be in no configuration of him, neither let him be in the Ascendent, tenth, eleventh, fifth, second or third, or in any aspect to either of them, or their Lords, if possible; for he is destructive; let also Part of Fortune, its Dispositor and the Dispositor of the Moon be free from his mischievous beams or aspect, good or bad; and fortifie also the Lord of the Ascendent, and the Lord of its exaltation.

在一切栽种与播种中（正如你在建造中已经听过的），一定要削弱火星，注意：阻止他对你的工作有任何力量；也让月亮与他不成任何格局，也不让他在上升、第十、第十一、第五、第二或第三宫，若可能，也不与其中任何一宫或其主星成任何相位；因为他具破坏性；也让福点、其定位星和月亮的定位星免于他有害的光线或相位，不论吉凶；也加强上升主星和上升之旺的主星。

Let the Dispositor of the Moon (saith Alchaiat an ancient Author) behold her out of a watry sign; and if the Ascendent be not a fixed sign, let the Moon and Lord of the Ascendent be Oriental of the Sun and ascending, or at least one of them; for this causeth such Trees or Graffs, as shall be then set or graffed to grow quickly and be fruitfull; but if they be ascending and not oriental, the Trees shall soon grow, but not so soon fructifie; but this in such Trees as are not fruitfull, or bearing no fruit, as Willows, Ash, Elms, &c. hurteth not much; but if you place them occidental and decreasing in light and number, and descending, judge the contrary to what you have heard.

（古代作者阿尔恰亚特说）让月亮的定位星从水象星座照看她；若上升不是固定星座，就让月亮和上升主星在太阳之东并在上升，或至少其中之一如此；因为这使那时栽种或嫁接的树木或接穗长得快、结果多；但若它们在上升而不在东方，树木会很快长大，却不那么快结果；不过对那些不结果、不结实的树，如柳树、梣树、榆树等，这没有多大害处；但若你把它们放在西方，光与度数在亏减，又在下降，就判断与你所听过的相反。

Know moreover, if you cannot make your Ascendent a fixed sign, let it be a common one, and the significators in common signs, and fortifie them, as you have already heard, &c.

还要知道，若你不能让你的上升是固定星座，就让它是双体星座，征象星也在双体星座，并照你已经听过的加强它们，等等。

But if thou canst not dispose and fit all thy significators in so full a manner as you have already heard, order as many thereof as you can; and chiefly the Moon, who ought to be in Taurus, or in the last part of Sagittary, free from all misfortune or impediment; let her also be in Conjunction, if possible, of Jupiter, or in Sextile, or Trine of him, and let Jupiter be no wise impedited, and be in the ascendent, tenth, eleventh, fifth or fourth, and if possible, also let Part of Fortune be free from the Malevolent configurations of the afflicting Planets, and in one of the aforesaid houses.

但若你不能把你所有的征象星都安排得这样周全，就尽量多安排几个；而主要是月亮，她应当在金牛，或在射手的后段，免于一切不幸或受阻；若可能，也让她与木星会合，或与他成六分或三分，并让木星丝毫不受阻，在上升、第十、第十一、第五或第四宫，若可能，也让福点免于施害之星的凶恶格局，并在上述诸宫之一。

CHAP. XII. Of Sowing of Seeds in the ground.

第十二章　论在地里播种。

DO thou be sure in Sowing of seeds (because it is a thing in which speedy gain is expected) thy ascendent be a movable sign, and the Lord thereof in a movable sign, as also the Moon, and the Lords or Dispositors of the Lord of the ascendent and the Moon beholding them out of movable signs, or if this cannot be, common may be chosen; but fixed by no means.

你在播种时一定要（因为这是一件指望很快得益的事）让你的上升是启动星座，上升主星也在启动星座，月亮也是，上升主星和月亮的主星即定位星，也从启动星座照看它们，或若做不到这一点，可以选双体星座；但绝不要选固定星座。

Place the Moon in an earthy or watry sign of the movable signs, viz. Cancer or Capricorn; but if she be in Aries, let some Planet behold her out of some watry sign, especially out of Cancer, least the herbs or seed dry and wither.

把月亮放在启动星座中的土象或水象星座，即巨蟹或摩羯；但若她在白羊，就让某颗行星从某个水象星座照看她，尤其是从巨蟹，以免菜苗或种子干枯凋萎。

Let the Lord of the Ascendent be free from misfortune, and in good aspect to the Ascendent, and let the Ascendent be also free from the configurations of the malevolents: Let the Moon also be free from the Sun beams, and in essential or accidental dignities, increasing in light and motion; for if the Moon be decreasing in light and number or motion and under the Sun beams, the Seeds sown will not come to good: But know, that in Sowing of Pease, Note. the Moon must be decreasing in light and motion, especially in light, for otherwise they will never leave blooming, &c.

让上升主星免于不幸，与上升成吉相位，也让上升免于凶星的格局：也让月亮免于太阳光，在必然或偶然尊贵之中，光与行速都在增长；因为若月亮在光、度数或行速上亏减，又在太阳光下，播下的种子就不会有好结果：但要知道，在种豌豆时，注意：月亮必须在光与行速上亏减，尤其是在光上，否则它们会开花不止，等等。

And if the Seeds be seeds of Trees, or such as ingender or produce Trees, let the Moon be in Taurus, as you have already heard, &c.

若种子是树的种子，即能生出或长成树木的那种，就让月亮在金牛，正如你已经听过的，等等。

CHAP. XIII. Of ridding Houses or places from evil Spirits.

第十三章　论为房屋或场所驱除恶灵。

EVil spirits and the way of commanding them or ridding houses of them, is best known to such as practise and make use thereof, it being no part of the study of an Astrologian; however since often times mischief is done in such actions for want of understanding, I thought good here to set down a fit time for such businesses, it being otherwise very dangerous.

恶灵以及驱使它们、或为房屋驱除它们的方法，最为那些施行、使用此道的人所知，它不是星占家研究的一部分；不过既然常常因不懂而在这类事情上闹出祸害，我认为应当在这里定下为这类事择时的合宜时间，否则它非常危险。

There have been several instructions for this matter given to us by the Antients; but most, and those most authentick too, say as followeth.

古人给过我们关于此事的好几种指导；但大多数，而且是最可信的那些，是这样说的。

See that the Moon be not in the Ascendent, and that neither the Ascendent or the Moon be in Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquaries, but in some other signs, and let the Moon separate from the Malevolents, and apply to the Fortunes, &c.

要看月亮不在上升，上升或月亮都不在巨蟹、狮子、天蝎或水瓶，而在别的星座，并让月亮离开凶星，入相于吉星，等等。

And thus much concerning Elections appertaining to the fourth house; it resteth now we proceed according to our promise next to the fifth house, &c.

关于属于第四宫的择日就讲这么多；剩下的是照我们的应许，接着讲第五宫，等等。
