卷三·第八节第九章　狩猎、捕鸟与捕鱼

CHAP. IX. Of Hunting, Fowling and Fishing.

第九章　论狩猎、捕鸟与捕鱼。

IN this manner of Judgement you are to know the sign most proper for the business (as in all other) is especially to be chosen; for here are three several elements to rove in: If on the earth you hunt either Hare, Deer, Fox, or wilde Beast, in every of these you are to place your Ascendent accordingly; as if ordinary Beasts, place a Beastial or fourfooted sign upon your Ascendent, and place the Moon therein, as Aries, Taurus, or Capricorn; but if you Hunt feral Beasts, such as are Wolfs, Lions, Bears, Leopards or the wilde Boar, let your Ascendent be Leo, or Sagittary the last 15. degrees; and let your Ascendent be strong, as also its Lord, the Moon, and the sign of the sixth and its Lord, and weaken and debilitate the seventh house and its Lord as much as you can; for the Ascendent, its Lord and the Moon hath signification of the Hunters, and therefore it strengtheneth them;

在这种判断中，你要知道（如在其他一切事中一样）最适合这件事的星座尤其要选；因为这里有三种不同的元素可以去游猎：若你在陆地上猎野兔、鹿、狐狸或野兽，在每一种情形你都要相应地安排你的上升；比如若是寻常的兽类，就把一个兽形或四足星座放在你的上升，并把月亮放在其中，如白羊、金牛或摩羯；但若你猎的是野性的兽类，如狼、狮、熊、豹或野猪，就让你的上升是狮子，或射手的后十五度；并让你的上升强，其主星、月亮、第六宫的星座及其主星也强，尽你所能削弱、损伤第七宫及其主星；因为上升、其主星和月亮代表猎人，所以这就加强了他们；

The sixth and its Lord denote the Dogs, Nets, or other Instruments of Hunting, and the seventh hath signification of the thing chased; wherefore I rather advise thee to place the sign of the seventh of the Nature of the thing you would take or Hunt rather then the Ascendent, and debilitate it, and if possible, place Mars therein, for that denotes bloodshed, and that you shall take what you seek; but be sure you fortifie the Ascendent, its Lord, the Moon, the sign of the sixth, and the Lord thereof, and it will be the more certain; but by no means let Saturn be in the seventh, least you toil and labour to no purpose; for he signifyeth you shall not obtain your desire, though you see the beast you aym at; or if you take it, yet shall it escape again; and these Rules you are Mutatis mutandis to use in Fowling and Fishing, &c.

第六宫及其主星表示猎犬、网或别的狩猎器具，第七宫代表被追逐之物；所以我更劝你把第七宫的星座安排成与你要捕或猎之物同性质的，而不是上升，并削弱它，若可能，把火星放在其中，因为那表示流血，表示你会捕到你所求的；但务必加强上升、其主星、月亮、第六宫的星座及其主星，这就更有把握；但决不要让土星在第七宫，免得你劳累辛苦而徒劳无功；因为他表示你得不到你所想要的，即使你看见了你瞄准的兽；或者即使你捕到了它，它也会再逃掉；这些规则，你在捕鸟和捕鱼时要作必要的变更来使用，等等。

As if you are to hunt Birds, or (more properly) to Fowl, and the Birds are such as are taken by Nets, Setting-dogs, Pinfals or any other device, let your Ascendent be aëry, and the Lord thereof in an earthy sign well dignified, but debilitate the seventh house and its Lord, and fortifie also the sixth and its Lord (as you have heard) for it addeth vigour to the Springes, Nets, Dogs, &c. and other instruments appropriate to your work.

比如若你要猎鸟，或（更恰当地说）捕鸟，而那些鸟是用网、蹲伏猎犬、陷阱或别的机关捕的，就让你的上升是风象星座，其主星在土象星座而尊贵良好，但要削弱第七宫及其主星，也要加强第六宫及其主星（如你已听过的），因为这给套索、网、犬等以及其他适合你这件工作的器具增添力量。

But if you aym at such Birds as are usually taken in the ayr, by Hawk, or Faulcon, let the Ascendent be an aëry sign, and the Lord thereof also in an aëry sign, yet let them both be strong, and also the sixth and its Lord, and debilitate the seventh and its Lord, as you have heard.

但若你瞄准的是通常在空中用鹰或隼捕的鸟，就让上升是风象星座，其主星也在风象星座，但让它们两者都强，第六宫及其主星也强，并削弱第七宫及其主星，如你已听过的。

And if you hunt Water-fowl, as Duck, Mallard, or the like, let your Ascendent be an aëry sign, and the Lord thereof strong in a watry; or place the Lord thereof in an aëry, and the ascendent in a watry or earthy; in like manner do with the sixth and its Lord, and dispose of the seventh as you have heard.

若你猎的是水禽，如鸭、野鸭之类，就让你的上升是风象星座，其主星强而在水象星座；或者把其主星放在风象星座，上升放在水象或土象星座；对第六宫及其主星也同样处理，第七宫则如你已听过的那样安排。

Again, if your sport be fishing, place the Ascendent and its Lord in watry signs and well dignified; fortifie also the sixth and its Lord, and place the Ascendent if you would catch shel-fish, and are roving in the Sea, in Cancer, and let Iupiter be in Pisces well dignified, and debilitate the seventh house and its Lord.

再者，若你的消遣是捕鱼，就把上升及其主星放在水象星座，并尊贵良好；也加强第六宫及其主星，若你要捕贝类，而又在海上游弋，就把上升放在巨蟹，让木星在双鱼而尊贵良好，并削弱第七宫及其主星。

For smaller fish, if you angle or fish by any other Instrument in Rivers or Pools, prefer Pisces, and so according to discretion frame your business; for since you have had the fundamental Rules of Elections delivered you at the beginning of this third Book, you must not expect I shall do any more then hint at any thing we are hereafter to handle in this Book, for if your own ingenuity will not lead you and enable you to go through with any election pertaining to the life of man, by what thou hast already heard, thou wouldest never apprehend the mystery thereof, should I inlarge as much as is possible upon every particular.

至于小鱼，若你在河里或池塘里垂钓或用别的器具捕，就取双鱼，并照你的斟酌来安排你的事；因为既然在本第三卷开头已把择日的根本规则交给你，你就不要指望我对本卷以后要讲的任何事，还会做比点到为止更多的事，因为若你自己的才智不能引导你、使你凭已经听过的东西完成有关人生的任何择日，那么即使我在每一件事上尽可能地铺开，你也永远领会不了其中的奥秘。

In teaching of Dogs to Hunt, such as are Hounds, Grew-hounds and such like, place the Moon in Aries in Conjunction of Mars; for this will make them soon learn, and put vigour and courage in them to slay and bite; but let Jupiter be also in aspect unto them, for the better preservation of them from danger in hunting.

在教猎犬打猎时，如嗅猎犬、灵缇之类，就把月亮放在白羊，与火星会合；因为这会使它们学得快，给它们捕杀撕咬的力气与勇气；但也让木星照看它们，以便它们在狩猎中更好地免于危险。

In teaching of Setting-dogs, place the Moon in an earthy sign, and the Lord of the Ascendent in an Aëry in Conjunction with the Moon, and in good aspect of Mercury, and Venus, that he may be the more docible and gentle.

在教蹲伏猎犬时，把月亮放在土象星座，上升主星在风象星座与月亮会合，并受水星和金星的吉相位照看，使它更温驯、更易教。

In teaching of Hawks, Faulcons and such like, let the Moon be in Aquaries applying to Mars, and let Mars be in Scorpio.

在驯鹰、隼之类时，让月亮在水瓶入相于火星，并让火星在天蝎。

Note, that if the Moon be applying to a Retrograde Planet when any one begins either to Hunt, Fowl, or Fish, it signifieth they shall get nothing but weariness, pain and trouble; but if it be in the Ascendent, it denotes great agility in Hunting or in the Sport; and if Mars be in the mid-heaven, it denotes the same to the Birds or Beasts pursued: And if the Moon be in the Mid-heaven afflicted by Mars, it signifies the Faulconer, shall lose his Hawk.

注意，若有人开始狩猎、捕鸟或捕鱼时月亮正入相于一颗逆行的行星，就表示他们除了疲倦、劳苦和麻烦之外什么也得不到；但若它在上升，就表示狩猎或这项消遣中有很大的敏捷；若火星在中天，就对被追逐的鸟兽表示同样的事：若月亮在中天受火星侵害，就表示养鹰人会失去他的鹰。

But let those that delight much in hawking place the Moon in Aries applying to Mars in Capricorn, for this denotes good sport both in the ayr and on the earth.

但那些很喜欢放鹰的人，要把月亮放在白羊，入相于摩羯的火星，因为这表示空中和地上都有好的猎获。

To be short, in hunting it is most necessary you place the Moon in the mid-heaven and a moveable sign in the ascendent, and Jupiter therein in good aspect of the Moon, and Mars in the seventh, and Saturn Cadent, and in no aspect of the Ascendent, and Venus in the Ascendent or mid-heaven, and the Moon applying unto her; for thereby shall both man, horse and hounds be elevated and strengthened to undergo the business chearfully, and they shall obtain their desire without much pains, toil, or trouble, neither shall they be much wearied.

简而言之，在狩猎中最必要的是把月亮放在中天，把一个启动星座放在上升，木星在其中与月亮成吉相位，火星在第七宫，土星在果宫，不与上升成任何相位，金星在上升或中天，月亮入相于她；因为这样人、马和猎犬都会精神振奋、得到加强，乐于从事这件事，他们会不费多少辛劳、劳苦或麻烦就得到所想要的，也不会很疲倦。
