卷三·第十节第一章　远行、归来、散步与进入城镇

SECTION X. Containing the Elections of the ninth House of Heaven.

第十节　包含天之第九宫的择日。

CHAP. 1. Of the returning of such as are absent, and of going of journeys, and entring into any place.

第一章　论在外之人归来，出门远行，以及进入任何地方。

EVery man hath some Fancy or particular way to himself that is not common to all; some of the Ancients have placed returnings in the tenth House, by reason it is the next after the ninth that hath signification of long journeys and voyages, which returnings follow; others have placed this matter in the eighth, making the ninth house to follow it, because a man must journey to return; but because one cannot return without voyaging or travelling, contrary to both these, I have placed it in the ninth house it self.

人人都有自己的想法或独特的路数，不是人人共有的；古人有的把归来放在第十宫，理由是它紧接在主长途旅行与航海的第九宫之后，而归来跟在旅行之后；另一些人把这件事放在第八宫，让第九宫跟在它后面，因为人必须先旅行才能归来；但因为不经航行或旅行就不能归来，与这两种说法都相反，我把它放在第九宫本身。

And as I dissent from the Ancients in placing this Election, so do I also much deviate from them in the matter thereof; yet if thou wilt follow them thou mayest, please but thy self and I am content.

我既在安放这一择日上与古人意见不同，在其内容上也与他们相去甚远；不过你若愿意遵从他们，也可以，只要你自己满意，我也就满意了。

Fortifie therefore in this manner of judgement the ninth house at the time of your setting forth, the Lord thereof and the Moon, as also the ninth and its Lord, and the place of the Moon in the Revolution of the year of the World or Quarter (if it be a year wherein such are admitted) and if possible, let Jupiter, or Venus or both be in the ninth, or applying thereunto, or to the Lord thereof, or the Moon in both these Schemes, and let these places however you do, be free from the malevolent configurations of the Infortunes, and see that there be no Infortune in the second house in a return, nor in the eighth when thou settest first out; for the second is then in lieu of the eighth, being the eighth from the seventh which hath ever signification of the place intended or travelled to; and therefore it seemeth requisite unto me, that you also fortifie the seventh house at the time of the first journey, as also its Lord, and the place of the Moon at that time. But thou wilt the better understand how to make an Election for returning, by knowing how to set out at first.

所以在这种判断中，要在你出发之时加强第九宫、其主星和月亮，还要加强第九宫及其主星，以及世界之年或季度回归盘中月亮所在之处（若那一年是容许这样做的年份），若可能，让木星或金星或两者都在第九宫，或入相于它，或入相于其主星，或在这两张盘中都入相于月亮，无论怎样做，都要让这些位置免于凶星的凶格局，并注意归来时第二宫里没有凶星，你最初出发时第八宫里也没有；因为那时第二宫取代了第八宫，它是第七宫之后的第八宫，而第七宫始终代表要去或已到的地方；所以我认为你在初次出行之时也应加强第七宫及其主星，以及那时月亮的位置。不过懂得怎样初次出发，你就会更好地懂得怎样为归来择日。

Wherefore you must know the Ascendent is the significator of the City, Town or place from whence any one Travels; the seventh of the place intended or journeyed to; the tenth house, hath signification of the ways or passages in the journey, and the fourth of the ways or passages in the return.

所以你要知道，上升是一个人出发所离开的城市、城镇或地方的征象星；第七宫是要去或已到之地的征象星；第十宫代表旅途中去时的道路或通路，第四宫代表归来时的道路或通路。

Look then how these places are affected, and accordingly judge; for if they are assisted by the presence or aspects of the Fortunes, good is promised; if by the Malevolents, evil, according to the Nature of the thing signified by the house afflicted or assisted; as if the seventh be fortunated, you may judge success and happiness to the Traveller in the Country or place to which he goes; if the tenth, he shall have good success in his journey, shall be safe and merry and in good health; if the fourth, judge the same at his return, &c.

那么看这些位置受到怎样的影响，就照此判断；因为若它们得到吉星的在场或相位相助，就许诺吉事；若是凶星，就是凶事，按受害或得助那一宫所代表之事的性质而定；比如若第七宫吉利，你可以判断旅行者在他所去的国家或地方会顺利幸福；若第十宫吉利，他在旅途中会很顺利，平安、愉快、健康；若是第四宫，就对他的归来作同样的判断，等等。

In beginning of any Journey, let the Moon be increasing in light and motion, free from impediment and affliction of the Infortunes; for an Infortune afflicting the Moon doth more hurt then when it afflicteth the Ascendent; and let her not be in the second, eighth, fourth sixth, nor twelfth, but in the fifth, and if possible, beheld of the Fortunes; however it causeth good success, and gain in the journey, health of body, and that he shall quickly return to his own content; and let Mercury be free from combustion and the malevolent aspects of the Infortunes, as also the Lord of the Ascendent, and let him be placed in a good place of Heaven; place also a Fortune in the Ascendent or some Angle, for such an Election denotes safety, agility, joy and gladness in the journey; and let not the Moon be in the Ascendent neither going nor returning, for it signifies sickness, and much grief in the journey.

开始任何旅程时，让月亮在光与行速上增长，免于凶星的阻碍和侵害；因为凶星侵害月亮，比侵害上升更有害；也不要让她在第二、第八、第四、第六或第十二宫，而要在第五宫，若可能，受吉星照看；无论如何这都带来旅途中的顺利与获益、身体健康，并且他会很快称心地归来；也让水星免于焦伤和凶星的凶相位，上升主星也一样，并把他放在天的好位置；也放一颗吉星在上升或某个角宫，因为这样的择日表示旅途中平安、敏捷、欢喜愉快；去时和归来都不要让月亮在上升，因为那表示旅途中生病，多有悲伤。

But if thou canst not observe all this, let the ☽ apply unto the Ascendent, as also the Lord of the Ascendent, and let them be free from the malevolent aspects of the Infortunes; also prosperity and good followeth if the Moon be joyned to Jupiter or Venus, or be beheld of them by a Sextile or Trine.

但若这些你都不能遵守，就让月亮入相于上升，上升主星也一样，并让它们免于凶星的凶相位；若月亮与木星或金星相连，或受它们六分或三分照看，也会有兴旺吉利随之而来。

But you must know there can no Election be framed without respect to the Revolution of the World, and the true significator of every man therein, according to his quality; the which when thou hast found, fortifie it and its Lord, the Moon and the sign, and Lord of the Ascendent at the setting out, and the sign signifying the thing or business occasioning the journey, and the Lord thereof, and have a special care, the Ascendent be not Cadent; and if the journey be to the King, let the tenth in the Revolution of the year of the World be the sign of the Ascendent in the setting forth; and if it be to obtain a reward at his hands, let the eleventh in the Revolution be your Ascendent, and so of the rest, according to the signification of the thing desired.

但你要知道，任何择日都不能不顾世界之年的回归，以及每个人按其身份在其中的真正征象星；你找到它后，就加强它和它的主星、月亮，以及出发时上升的星座及其主星，还有代表引起这次旅行之事的星座及其主星，并特别注意上升不在果宫；若是去见国王，就让世界之年回归盘中的第十宫成为出发时上升的星座；若是去从他手中得赏赐，就让回归盘的第十一宫作你的上升，其余类推，依所求之事的含义而定。

It is good also to place the Moon at the beginning of any journey in the tenth or fifth beholding her dispositor, free from impediment and the afflictions of the Infortunes. and in good aspect of the Benevolents, and they also essentially dignified, and the Moon increasing in light, and Mercury free from combustion, and free from impediment; and let not the Moon be in the sixth, nor twelfth, for that signifieth impediment and delay in the journey.

在任何旅程开始时，把月亮放在第十宫或第五宫，照看她的定位星，免于阻碍和凶星的侵害，并与吉星成吉相位，而那些吉星也要有必然尊贵，月亮光亮增长，水星免于焦伤，免于阻碍，这也是好的；不要让月亮在第六宫或第十二宫，因为那表示旅途中的阻碍与耽搁。

But if she be increasing in light and motion, it will be soon accomplished, and that with safety and quiet; but if the ☽, or Saturn, or both be in the Ascendent or seventh, or Saturn in the Ascendent, and the Moon in the seventh, there shall happen in the journey or place to which the Traveller tendeth, many grievous infirmities, losses, quarrels or slaughter unto him.

但若她在光与行速上增长，事情就会很快完成，而且平安宁静；但若月亮或土星或两者在上升或第七宫，或土星在上升而月亮在第七宫，旅行者在旅途中或所去之地就会遭遇许多严重的病痛、损失、争吵或杀戮。

If she be in the 10th. or 11th, it is good; but if she be in the third, fifth, or ninth, it will not be so well, in the seventh or fourth, worse; but she denotes mischief most in the Ascendent, second, sixth, eighth or twelfth.

若她在第十宫或第十一宫，是好的；若她在第三、第五或第九宫，就不那么好，在第七或第四宫更差；但她在上升、第二、第六、第八或第十二宫时，表示的祸害最大。

And some of the Ancients have said, that if any set forth in the day time Aries ascending, they shall meet with Thieves; yet if they set upon the Thieves they shall overcome them; also if at such a time any go against a Castle or strong hold, they shall take it; and if the Ascendent be Taurus when the Traveller setteth out, he shall gain and profit by Cattel, as Cows, Oxen and Bulls and such like; if it be Gemini that doth then ascend, he shall profit by arms or expert servants.

有些古人说过，若有人在白天出发，白羊上升，就会遇上盗贼；但若他们攻击盗贼，就会胜过他们；若在这时有人去攻打城堡或要塞，也会攻下来；若旅行者出发时上升是金牛，他会因牲畜得益，如母牛、公牛之类；若是双子上升，他会因兵器或能干的仆人得益。

Also if it be Cancer, he shall be safe in health or fortunate in all things he undertakes; if Leo, he shall overcome, and win, and there shall evil happen to others for him; if Virgo, he shall be merry, and profit by servants.

还有若是巨蟹，他会健康平安，或所作的一切都幸运；若是狮子，他会胜出得手，别人会因他而遭殃；若是处女，他会愉快，因仆人得益。

Again, if it be Libra, he shall have a mean both of good and evil; in Scorpio, he shall toyl and labour, but shall not obtain his desire, and there shall happen much sadness unto him, but afterwards he shall gain a little; If Sagittary, he shall obtain his desire, and shall profit by horses and arms, and shall act something, for which he shall receive a great reward.

再者，若是天秤，他会好坏参半；若在天蝎，他会辛苦劳累，却得不到所想要的，会遭遇许多悲伤，但之后会得到一点；若是射手，他会得到所想要的，会因马匹和兵器得益，并做成某件事，为此得到大的奖赏。

Moreover if it be Capricorn, he shall be tyred, and the journey shall be tedious, and his desires shall not be obtained; if it be Aquaries, his hopes shall be frustrate, and his enemies shall deceive him; but if it be Pisces, he shall advantage himself by precious stones, shall obtain his desire and shall have his health.

还有若是摩羯，他会疲倦，旅途冗长乏味，所想要的得不到；若是水瓶，他的希望会落空，敌人会欺骗他；但若是双鱼，他会因宝石得益，得到所想要的，身体健康。

Note that some of the Ancients have taken that punctum of time wherein the Traveller steps out of his house onward of his journey, and the degree ascending then to be his significator, and that degree which ascendeth when he is just out of sight of his house to be the significator, together with its Lord, of the journey.

注意，有些古人把旅行者跨出家门踏上旅程的那一刻、那时上升的度数作为他的征象星，而把他刚好看不见自家房子时上升的那一度，连同其主星，作为这次旅程的征象星。

Some of the Ancients have in this place given us Instructions, if any journey be to Kings, Great men, Generals of Armies, Judges, Lawyers, Women, Learned men, Poets, and such like, of what kinde soever they be, by making the Moon apply to the significator of the quality of the person a man intends to go to, and by placing the significator in a good place of Heaven, viz. in the Ascendent, tenth, or eleventh, or in the house whereby he is signified, but by no means in the seventh nor fifth, for that signifies labour and trouble; as also if he be in the fourth or Occidental; but since I have already given you the exact significations of the Moon to the other six Planets in a Table in the third Chapter of the first Section of this same third Book, as also hinted at the same in the sixth Section and tenth Chapter, I shall not in this place make any repetition, but proceed.

有些古人在这里给过我们指导：若旅程是去见国王、大人物、军队统帅、法官、律师、女人、学者、诗人之类，不论何种人，就让月亮入相于所要去见之人身份的征象星，并把那征象星放在天的好位置，即在上升、第十宫或第十一宫，或在代表他的那一宫，但决不要在第七宫或第五宫，因为那表示劳苦麻烦；在第四宫或西入也一样；但既然我已在本第三卷第一节第三章的一张表里给出了月亮与其他六颗行星的确切意义，又在第六节第十章提到过同样的事，我就不在这里重复，接着往下讲。

If thou wouldest soon return from thy journey, place Jupiter in a Quartile of the Sun, and Venus in his Sextile betwixt both the Fortunes, separating from one, and applying to the other; or place the Moon in the room of the Sun increasing in light and motion.

若你想从旅途中早早归来，就把木星放在太阳的四分，金星放在他的六分，在两颗吉星之间，离开一颗，入相于另一颗；或者把月亮放在太阳的位置，光与行速增长。

And if thou wouldest go secretly to any place, let the Moon be under the Sun beams, separating from the Sun, and applying to a Fortune, and free from all other impediment; some of the Ancients have said, if you would do any thing that you would not have revealed or come to light, begin it when the Moon is in Scorpio, and under the earth; others have concluded with the former Rule; yet some have advised to place the Moon and Lord of the Ascendent both under the Sun beams, but not in combustion, and free from impediment, and that the Ascendent be not beheld of the Sun, nor Lord thereof; and to make it the more sure, let the Moon be in the fourth house, or the significator of the thing.

若你想秘密去某个地方，就让月亮在太阳光下，离开太阳，入相于一颗吉星，并免于一切其他阻碍；有些古人说过，若你要做任何不想被泄露或曝光的事，就在月亮在天蝎而在地平之下时开始；另一些人采用前面那条规则；但也有些人劝人把月亮和上升主星都放在太阳光下，但不在焦伤之中，免于阻碍，并且上升及其主星都不受太阳照看；为了更有把握，让月亮在第四宫，或在那件事的征象星所在之处。

And as touching walking abroad, some of the Ancients have been large; but I shall omit their Rules as superfluous in such a matter which depends on the Will of Man; only I shall add thus much, that if the Moon be increasing in light and motion, and free from impedition, applying to a Fortune, it will be the better, and the walk will seem more pleasant and delectable then tiresome; for commonly when she is weak, and in Square or Opposition of Saturn, the time seems tedious, and the walker will be very sad and pensive; and perhaps be subject to fals and other casualties, when she is so aspected of Mars.

至于出外散步，有些古人讲得很多；但我会省去他们的规则，因为在这样一件取决于人的意愿的事上，它们是多余的；我只补充这么多：若月亮在光与行速上增长，免于阻碍，入相于吉星，就会更好，散步会显得愉快有趣，而不是令人疲倦；因为通常当她虚弱，与土星成四分或对冲时，时间显得冗长乏味，散步的人会很忧郁沉闷；当她受火星这样照看时，或许还会跌倒，遭遇别的意外。

And take this for an approved rule, that if the walker go to visit any one, or to look for any thing, if the Lord of the seventh House at the time of his setting out be in the Ascendent, and the Moon in aspect of any Retrograde-Planet with reception at the same time, he shall meet the party or thing he seeks or intends to visit.

请把这当作一条屡经验证的规则：若散步的人去拜访某人，或去找某样东西，若他出发时第七宫主星在上升，同时月亮与任何逆行行星有接纳地成相位，他就会遇见他所找或打算拜访的人或物。

Now as touching any Travellers entring into any Place, Town or City, you are to fortifie the sign of the second House, and the Lord thereof, and place him in a good house above the earth, and the Moon in the third or fifth, or else in the eleventh, applying to a Planet receiving her, whether it be a fortune or no; and let your significator never be under the earth, unless your business so require, or is to be kept secret.

至于任何旅行者进入某个地方、城镇或城市，你要加强第二宫的星座及其主星，把他放在地平之上的好宫，把月亮放在第三或第五宫，或者在第十一宫，入相于一颗接纳她的行星，不论是不是吉星；除非你的事需要，或要保密，否则决不要让你的征象星在地平之下。

Be sure the Moon be not in the fourth, eighth, sixth or twelfth, but place her in the second, if possible, strong and free from impediment, and applying to the Lord of the second, or in reception of him.

务必不要让月亮在第四、第八、第六或第十二宫，而要把她放在第二宫，若可能，强而免于阻碍，入相于第二宫主星，或受他接纳。

And if he that entreth into any place would fain stay long there, let the Moon and the Lord of the second be placed in angles; and it will not be amiss in this business if he place the Moon in reception with Saturn by a good aspect, and let the sign of the Ascendent and its Lord at the first entrance be fixed.

若进入某处的人很想在那里久留，就把月亮和第二宫主星放在角宫；在这件事上，若他让月亮与土星以吉相位接纳，也无不可，并让初入时上升的星座及其主星是固定的。

But if he would soon return from thence, let him place the Moon in the third, in a moveable sign received; as also let the sign of the Ascendent at the first entrance be moveable, and the Lord thereof also in a moveable sign, and place the Lord of the second in the Ascendent, and the Lord of the Ascendent in the second.

但若他想很快从那里回来，就让他把月亮放在第三宫，在启动星座而受接纳；也让初入时上升的星座是启动的，其主星也在启动星座，并把第二宫主星放在上升，把上升主星放在第二宫。

Moreover, if his coming to the place be to require ought of the King or Grandees, let him have recourse to the mid-heaven and its Lord, and make him receive his significator by a good reception; and place if possible the Lord of the tenth in the Ascendent or second, and in the tenth the Lord of the Ascendent or second; and so understand of any thing else he requires, or for which his entrance into the place is, still remembring to order his significators aright.

还有，若他到那地方是要向国王或权贵求什么，就让他求助于中天及其主星，使他以良好的接纳接纳他的征象星；若可能，把第十宫主星放在上升或第二宫，把上升主星或第二宫主星放在第十宫；对他所求的任何别的事，或他进入那地方所为的任何事，也照此理解，始终记住要把他的征象星安排妥当。

Wherefore generally in all entrings into any place, be sure the second House and its Lord be free from impediment and affliction of the Infortunes, as also Combustion and Fall, neither let him be Cadent; for if the Lord of the second be combust, it denotes the party so entring shall there dye suddenly; neither is it good for the Lord of the second to be in the seventh, especially if he be therein afflicted, because it signifies damage both to his person and goods, and that he shall be troubled with many dissentions and quarrels, and have much trouble by and through his acquaintance; also if the Moon be in the fourth House, he shall dye there before he goes away, especially if the Moon be weak and afflicted of the Malevolents, or the Lord of the eighth.

所以一般说来，在一切进入某地之事中，务必让第二宫及其主星免于凶星的阻碍和侵害，也免于焦伤和落，也不要让他在果宫；因为若第二宫主星焦伤，就表示这样进入的人会在那里突然死去；第二宫主星在第七宫也不好，尤其若他在那里受害，因为那表示他的人身和财物都受损，他会遭遇许多纷争与争吵，并因他的熟人、通过他的熟人而有许多麻烦；还有若月亮在第四宫，他会在离开之前死在那里，尤其若月亮虚弱，受凶星或第八宫主星侵害。

But the best Election in this matter is to let Iupiter be Lord of the second, located in the eleventh House, strong and free from the malevolent aspects of the Infortunes, or let him be in the second in configuration of the Moon, and let Part of Fortune be in an angle or in the eleventh or fifth, for it signifieth safety and health of body being so placed, as also increase of wealth; and it will not be amiss if you make the dispositor of the Moon apply thereunto, for it will bring things to a good end and conclusion.

但这件事最好的择日是让木星作第二宫主星，位于第十一宫，强而免于凶星的凶相位，或者让他在第二宫与月亮成格局，并让福点在角宫或在第十一或第五宫，因为这样安置表示人身平安健康，财富增加；若你使月亮的定位星入相于它，也无不可，因为这会使事情有好的结局与结果。
