卷三·第八节第三至四章　合伙，与争端、战事、诉讼的择日

CHAP. III. Of Partnership, or Agreements, or things between two.

第三章　论合伙，或协议，或两人之间的事。

IF in all things you have chief respect to the significators, and that to the right and true significators of what you undertake (as hath been sufficiently said) you shall always be able to perform any thing in this nature with certainty.

若在一切事上你主要顾到征象星，而且是你所从事之事的正确真实的征象星（如已充分说过的），你就总能有把握地完成这类性质的任何事。

Wherefore in this manner of Judgement, know that between partners, the Ascendent, its Lord, the Moon and Planet from whom the Moon last separated, are significators of that party which begins the business; the seventh, its Lord and the Planet the Moon next applys unto, of the other: the tenth and its Lord shall signifie what is or shall happen between them; and the fourth, and its Lord, the end of the business.

所以在这种判断中，要知道在合伙人之间，上升、其主星、月亮和月亮刚离开的那颗行星，是发起这件事那一方的征象星；第七宫、其主星和月亮下一个入相的行星，是另一方的：第十宫及其主星代表他们之间现在或将要发生的事；第四宫及其主星代表这件事的结局。

Look then whether the Ascendent or seventh House (I mean the cuspe thereof) be most or more benevolently beheld by the Lord of the tenth, or in which he is most dignified or hath most fortitudes (which thou mayst know by the Table of Fortitudes in our second Book of this Volume) and judge that party signified by the House he is most in favour with, to prosper or be most stable or firm in the thing.

那么看上升还是第七宫（我指它的宫头）受第十宫主星照看得最多或更吉利，或他在哪一个之中尊贵最高、力量最多（这你可以从本书第二卷里我们的力量表知道），就判断他最受其眷顾的那一宫所代表的那一方，在这件事上最兴旺，或最稳定、最牢固。

Be sure that you place the Moon, the Ascendent and its Lord at the time of the making the agreement or partnership between two, in common signs, such as are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittary and Pisces, as you have heard already in our second Book; but some of the learned in former ages have not approved of Sagittary or Pisces, except the Moon be received of Jupiter, yet Leo is to be chosen, for that it being the house of Sol, and he being advantageous in matters of society, it hath been by the Ancients approved of for a good sign, but other of the fixed signs in this matter they have disallowed of; as also of all moveable signs, except Capricorn only: wherefore let neither the Ascendent, its Lord, the Moon, its Dispositor, Part of Fortune, or its Lord, be in them, but place them in common signs, and fortifie them to thy utmost power, free from both impediment, and the Malevolent Configurations of the Infortunes, but if possible place them in aspect of the Fortunes.

一定要在两人之间订立协议或合伙之时，把月亮、上升及其主星放在双体星座，如双子、处女、射手和双鱼，如你已在我们第二卷里听过的；但前代有些学者不认可射手或双鱼，除非月亮受木星接纳，不过狮子可以选用，因为它是太阳的庙，而太阳在结伴共事上有利，古人认可它是好星座，但在这事上他们不认可其他固定星座；也不认可一切启动星座，只有摩羯除外：所以不要让上升、其主星、月亮、其定位星、福点或其主星在它们之中，而要把它们放在双体星座，尽你所能加强它们，免于阻碍和凶星的恶格局，若可能，把它们放在与吉星成相位之处。

Moreover, let the Moon be increasing in light and motion; but if thou canst not observe all this, yet see that thou fortifie as many as thou canst, and those chiefly such as are especially to be regarded, as are the Ascendent, its Lord, the Moon, its Dispositor, the Lord of the seventh, and cusp thereof, as also ⊗, its Dispositor, and the Medium and Imum Coeli, and their Lords; and if possible, make them behold one another, or at least as many thereof as thou canst, especially the Lord of the Ascendent and seventh, or in reception of each other, or with the Lords of the tenth and fourth, &c. let discretion and judgement be your directors, and you cannot fail of your desire, but to obtain it, you must dive into the reasons and grounds of the Art, as have the Sages in former times; otherwise neither what they, my self, nor an hundred after me (should so many endeavor to instruct thee) can well direct thee: but contrariwise, when thou hast searched the depth thereof, thou wilt soon be able to write as authentickly and truly as any that hath gone before thee, &c.

此外，让月亮在光与行速上增长；但若这一切你都不能遵守，也要看你尽量多加强几个，主要是特别要顾到的那些，即上升、其主星、月亮、其定位星、第七宫主星与宫头，还有福点、其定位星，以及天顶与天底及其主星；若可能，使它们彼此照看，或至少尽你所能使其中多数如此，尤其是上升主星与第七宫主星，或它们彼此接纳，或与第十宫和第四宫的主星接纳，等等；让判断力和理解作你的向导，你就不会达不到你的心愿，但要达到它，你必须像前代的贤人那样深入此术的道理与根据；否则不论他们、我自己，还是我之后的一百个人（若有那么多人要努力教你），都不能好好指导你：反过来，当你探究了它的深处，你很快就能写得和你之前的任何人一样可靠、真实，等等。

CHAP. IV. Of going to War, or beginning of Differences and Duels, Quarrels, Law-Suits, Controversies, and the like.

第四章　论出兵作战，或挑起争端与决斗、争吵、诉讼、争议之类。

LEarn thou this, that the Ascendent, and its Lord, and the Planet or Planets therein, or in Conjunction or Configuration with the Lord thereof, or in aspect with it, are to signifie him or them that begin the quarrel or controversie, the seventh, Lord thereof, and Planet or Planets therein, and in aspect therewith, or with the Lord thereof, or Conjunction with him, the other, or contrary party.

你要学会这一点：上升、其主星，以及在其中、或与其主星会合或成格局、或与之成相位的一颗或几颗行星，代表挑起争吵或争议的他或他们；第七宫、其主星，以及在其中、与之或其主星成相位、或与他会合的一颗或几颗行星，代表另一方，即对立的一方。

Having thus a true knowledge of your Significators, you may easily frame your business to the best; as if you would have the party or parties signified by the Ascendent to overcome, or to have the better, it is good to place the Ascendent in one of the houses of the Superior Planets. viz. Saturn, Jupiter, or Mars; but note, that in this matter, Mars is to be preferred before the rest, and of this house, some of the Sages have said Scorpio, because it is a fixed sign:

这样真正认识了你的征象星，你就能轻易地把你的事安排得最好；比如你若要上升所代表的一方或几方胜出，或占上风，就宜把上升放在上位行星即土星、木星或火星的一个庙里；但要注意，在这事上，火星优于其余的；而在他的庙中，有些贤人说取天蝎，因为它是固定星座：

I conceive it being a sign of deceit, it may help by policy or slight to overmatch the contrary party, and therefore to be preferred before Aries, who though it be a sign fiëry, yet is it moveable and unstable; however, be sure, if possible, at the time of the first onset or beginning of the quarrel, you make the Ascendents Lord dispose of the Lord of the seventh, or otherwise be more essentially fortified and dignified, and also elevated above him in the figure of heaven at that time; for by how much the more your Significator be strong and well dignified, by so much the more shall he be able to deal with or overcome his enemy: understand the same by the Lord of the seventh, if you would have the party or parties thereby signified, to have the better:

我认为它既是诡诈的星座，就可能帮助人用计谋或巧计胜过对方，所以优于白羊，白羊虽是火象星座，却是启动的、不稳的；不过无论如何，若可能，在第一次交锋或争吵开始的时候，要使上升主星支配第七宫主星，或者在必然尊贵上更强、更有尊贵，那时在天象盘中也高踞他之上；因为你的征象星越强、越有尊贵，他就越能对付或胜过他的敌人：若你要第七宫所代表的一方或几方占上风，对第七宫主星也照此理解：

And note, that either in single duels, open wars between Armies, domestick or forraign, or Law-suits, or any other Controversie, the same rules will serve, having a special regard to the true Significators.

还要注意，不论是单人决斗、军队之间的公开战争、国内的还是国外的，或诉讼，或任何别的争议，同样的规则都适用，只要特别顾到真正的征象星。

These rules might sufficiently serve for any business of this nature; but since the Ancients have hereon been somewhat large, I hold it not fit for me to bury their sayings in silence; they may very well serve both to confirm thy judgement, and enable thee to order it according to the most rational rules, which thou mayst according to discretion pick out thereof.

这些规则对这类性质的任何事可能已经够用了；但既然古人在这上面说得有些多，我认为我不宜把他们的话埋没不提；它们很可以用来证实你的判断，使你能照最合理的规则来安排它，你可以照判断力从中挑选。

Let then the Lord of the Ascendent (if that party you would have victorious, if it be your Significator, and so contrariwise the Lord of the seventh, if he be your Significator) behold the Ascendent being his own house, with a Sextile or Trine, and also Mars, if he be not Lord thereof, or be in Benevolent Configuration with the Lord thereof, or place the Lord of the Ascendent, in the Ascendent, eleventh or tenth (but know the tenth is better then the eleventh) well dignified, both essentially and accidentally.

那么让上升主星（若你要胜出的那一方以他为征象星，反过来，若第七宫主星是你的征象星，就用第七宫主星）以六分或三分照看上升，即他自己的庙，也照看火星，若火星不是上升之主的话，或与上升之主成吉的格局，或者把上升主星放在上升、第十一宫或第十宫（但要知道第十宫比第十一宫好），在必然尊贵与偶然尊贵上都有良好的尊贵。

But have a special care he be not in the abject part of heaven, viz. the fourth, or in the seventh, because then he is disposed of by his enemy, or as it were intrapped or invironed by him; neither let him be in the eighth, or in combustion, or retrograde, nor cadent, or any otherwise debilitated; neither in reception or aspect of any Planet thus afflicted, &c.

但要特别留心他不在天上卑下之处，即第四宫，也不在第七宫，因为那时他受敌人支配，或者可说是被敌人诱捕或包围；也不要在第八宫，不焦伤，不逆行，不在果宫，或以任何别的方式虚弱；也不与任何这样受害的行星接纳或成相位，等等。

And contrariwise, place the Lord of the seventh (if you would have those signified by it be worsted) in the ascendent or second, and applying to the Lord of the Ascendent by Sextile or Trine, or if not so, by any other aspect, for that betokeneth a desire or inclination to agreement.

反过来，把第七宫主星（若你要它所代表的一方失利）放在上升或第二宫，并以六分或三分入相于上升主星，若不行，以别的相位也可，因为那预示一种求和、愿意和解的倾向。

Whatever you do, see that you fortifie Mars, and let him, if possible, be Lord of the party you would have victorious (as hath been said) and essentially well dignified and well placed in the heaven, and also free from all manner of Impediment, applying by Sextile or Trine to the Significator or his house, the Ascendent and its Lord, if they be chief Significators: the contrary if the seventh, and the Lord thereof be Significators, &c.

不论你做什么，要看你加强火星，若可能，让他是你要胜出那一方之宫的主星（如已说过的），必然尊贵良好，在天上位置好，也免于一切阻碍，以六分或三分入相于征象星或其庙，即上升及其主星，若它们是主要征象星的话：若第七宫及其主星是征象星，就反过来，等等。

You must further know, that the second house hath signification in Duels of the parties second which is signified by the Ascendent; in open wars, of the Militia, Moneys, or all other assistants and friends; in Law-suits, the Coadjutors or Helpers, or the help it self: The eighth house also contrariwise of the assistants or aid of the enemies or prosecutors, being the second from the seventh, as you have had abundantly taught you in the second Treatise of these our labours.

你还必须知道，第二宫在决斗中代表上升所代表那一方的助手；在公开战争中代表民兵、钱财，或一切别的援助者与朋友；在诉讼中代表协助者或帮手，或援助本身：第八宫反过来代表敌人或控诉者的助手或援助，因为它是从第七宫数起的第二宫，这在我们这些著作的第二卷里已经充分教给你了。

Fortifie therefore the second house, and its Lord, as you have heard of the Lord of the Ascendent, as you have also heard by him; for this shall make strong your aid and assistance in all respects for the better managing your business: still remember to fortifie the Lord of the second, and the second it self by essential dignities and aspects of the Benevolents, as you have heard of the Lord of the Ascendent and Ascendent it self, and you cannot erre; wherefore ponder well the reasons hereof, and you shall be soon able to perform your work with great facility; otherwise it is impossible ever to instruct thee in this matter, as I have often said

所以要像你听过的上升主星那样，加强第二宫及其主星，也像你听他那样听；因为这会使你各方面的援助与协助强大，更好地办你的事：始终要记住用必然尊贵和吉星的相位来加强第二宫的主星和第二宫本身，像你听过的上升主星和上升本身那样，你就不会出错；所以要好好思量其中的道理，你很快就能轻而易举地做你的工作；否则就不可能在这事上教你，正如我常说的

It is also requisite, you have respect to the Moon, and its Dispositor, that you fortifie them also as much as possibly may be, as also Mercury, and let them apply to that parties Significators you desire to be Victorious.

还必须顾到月亮及其定位星，你也要尽可能加强它们，还有水星，让它们入相于你要胜出那一方的征象星。

In single Duels or Law-suits and Controversies between man and man, you would do well to have regard to the time of their birth, being the most sure ground of thy work, if they can be procured; for look who hath Mars most essentially fortified in the Radix, and he shall assuredly be Victor in the Quarrel, Controversie or Law-suit, and commonly he that is born in the night (as say some of the Learned) doth overcome.

在单人决斗，或人与人之间的诉讼与争议中，若能得到他们的出生时间，你最好顾到它，这是你工作最确实的根据；因为看谁在根盘中火星的必然尊贵最强，他就必定在争吵、争议或诉讼中胜出，而且通常是夜里出生的人（有些学者这样说）获胜。

But I hold that Mars in Law-suits, is not so much to be regarded, as the Lords of their Ascendents; for to that which is most dignified, I give Victory, without any regard to Mars at all; onely in Duels or Wars Mars ought to be considered.

但我认为在诉讼中，火星不如他们上升的主星那样要紧；因为我把胜利给那最有尊贵的，完全不顾火星；只有在决斗或战争中，火星才应当考虑。

Yet note, if the war be betwixt two Kings, their Nativities are to be procured and regarded (as say some of the Ancients) but I hold more proper to have the time of the beginning of their Monarchies, for the judging thereon, or the beginning of their stock to be procured; and so consequently if the war be between any King and State, to have the beginning of his Monarchy, and the time of the beginning of their being a State or Commonwealth, &c. and from these times collect your judgement. But more of this anon when we come to treat of Revolutions of the World; wherefore here we shall pass it by and proceed.

但要注意，若战争是在两个国王之间，就要取得并顾到他们的本命（如有些古人所说）但我认为更恰当的是取得他们王权开始的时间来判断，或他们宗族开始的时间；因此若战争是在某个国王与某个国家之间，就取他王权的开始，以及他们成为一个国家或共和国开始的时间，等等，从这些时间推出你的判断。但这一点等我们讲到世运回归时再多讲；所以这里我们略过它，往下讲。

Part of war (as some of the ancient Sages have instructed us) ought to be set, and then you must have a special regard to the placing thereof for advantage of that party you desire should be victorious; wherefore herein as thou hast been warned of the seventh, fourth and eighth Houses in placing the Lord of your Ascendent, so understand of placing part of war. How you must take part of war and other parts taught by the Ancients, we may treat of hereafter, if it be requisite. Also part of Victory is to be after the same manner regarded and disposed, &c.

战争点（如有些古代贤人教导我们的）应当算出来，然后你必须特别留意把它安放得对你要胜出的那一方有利；所以在这里，正如你在安放上升主星时被告诫过第七、第四、第八宫那样，安放战争点也照此理解。你必须怎样算战争点和古人所教的其他各点，若有必要，我们以后再讲。胜利点也要照同样的方式顾到和安排，等等。

Know that the Moon in Taurus in any aspect or configuration of Saturn or Mars, is not good, but very obnoxious to the beginner of the quarrel, war, law-suit or controversy.

要知道，月亮在金牛而与土星或火星成任何相位或格局，不好，对挑起争吵、战争、诉讼或争议的一方非常不利。

If the Moon be in Gemini or Cancer, let her be in Trine of Mars, otherwise she is but indifferently well placed for the beginners advantage. But if she be beheld of the Fortunes, there needs no fear.

若月亮在双子或巨蟹，要让她与火星成三分，否则对发起者的利益而言她的位置只是平平。但若她受吉星照看，就不必担心。

Begin no quarrel, war or controversy, neither invade thy enemy, the Moon being in Virgo or Capricorn; but when the Moon is assisted and aspected by the Fortunes, and free from the impediments and afflictions of the Malevolents, thou mayst invade or begin any quarrel or controversy with assurance of victory and success; for according to the opinion of the Sages, this Configuration causeth assistance and strength to the beginner, and debility and mischief to the other.

月亮在处女或摩羯时，不要挑起争吵、战争或争议，也不要侵犯你的敌人；但当月亮得吉星相助、照看，免于凶星的阻碍和侵害时，你可以侵犯或挑起任何争吵或争议，有把握胜利成功；因为照贤人的意见，这种格局给发起者带来援助与力量，给另一方带来虚弱与祸害。

Many Authors have observed to elect the time of beginning to war, or invade any place, Nation or Kingdom, in the day and hour of Iupiter, Venus or the Sun, and to make their Ascendent free from all impediment and affliction, and in one of the signs of right ascentions; oblique they wholly reject in this matter; what are oblique signs and signs of right ascentions thou hast had already taught thee in the 22 Chapter of our second Treatise in this work, or, Introduction to the Iudgement of the STARS: but if thou hast seriously weighed the foregoing rules, thou wilt find this of small or no use or importance.

许多作者都留意在木星、金星或太阳的日子和时辰，择定开战或侵入任何地方、民族或王国的时间，并使他们的上升免于一切阻碍与侵害，在一个直升星座里；斜升星座在这事上他们完全拒绝；什么是斜升星座和直升星座，在本书我们的第二卷，即《星辰判断入门》的第二十二章里已经教给你了：但你若认真掂量了前面的规则，就会发现这一条用处很小或没有用处，也不重要。

Know that Part of Fortune (if thou desirest success to the beginner (as hath been said) or other) ought to be placed in their Confines or Houses appertaining to them; as if for the beginner, let it be in the Ascendent, tenth, second or eleventh; if for the other, in the seventh, fourth, eighth or fifth: Understand the same in Law-suits, the Ascendent is still for the Plaintiff, and the seventh for the Defendant; but remember that in any of these businesses Part of Fortune be free from impediment, especially of the Lords of the seventh, eighth, fourth or fifth; but if possible, assisted by the Fortunes.

要知道福点（若你要发起者成功（如已说过的）或另一方成功）应当放在属于他们的领地或宫位里；比如若是为发起者，就让它在上升、第十、第二或第十一宫；若是为另一方，就在第七、第四、第八或第五宫：在诉讼中也照此理解，上升始终代表原告，第七宫代表被告；但要记住，在这些事情的任何一件里，福点都要免于阻碍，尤其是免于第七、第八、第四或第五宫主星的阻碍；若可能，得吉星相助。

Observe the same rules in disposing of the Lord of Part of Fortune; for the Sages have said, that party in whose Confines they are well dignified and located, shall assuredly be victorious and have the day.

安放福点的主星也遵守同样的规则；因为贤人们说过，他们在哪一方的领地里有良好的尊贵和位置，哪一方就必定胜出，赢得那一天。

Moveable signs to be in the Ascendent at the time of beginning any controversy, are to be shunned, especially Aries, Libra and Cancer, and of these Cancer is the worst, for that she is a watry sign, and the House of the Moon which is the lowest Planet; and the seventh then must be Capricorn, which is the House of Saturn, the highest and most superiour of the Planets; wherefore Capricorn is the rather to be chosen of the moveable signs, yet by reason of their instability and wavering inclination, they are in my opinion to be laid aside in works of this nature.

在挑起任何争议之时，上升要避开启动星座，尤其是白羊、天秤和巨蟹，其中巨蟹最坏，因为她是水象星座，又是月亮的庙，而月亮是最低的行星；那时第七宫必定是摩羯，是土星的庙，而土星是最高、最在上的行星；所以在启动星座中，宁可选摩羯，不过由于它们的不稳和动摇的倾向，照我的看法，在这类事情中它们都应当搁置不用。
