卷三·第十三节第一至二章　释放囚徒、买马与赛马

SECTION XIII. Comprehending the Elections of the Twelfth House.

第十三节　包含第十二宫的择日。

CHAP. I. Of Freeing of Prisoners and Captives.

第一章　论释放囚徒与俘虏。

ENdevour alwayes to know your true Significator in every Election, and you have accomplished half your business; you must know then that the Ascendent and its Lord hath signification of his or their condition that are freed, the Tenth of the person freeing, or that hath power to set at liberty, &c.

在每一个择日中，始终努力认清你真正的征象星，你就完成了你的事的一半；所以你要知道，上升及其主星代表被释放的一人或数人的境况，第十宫代表释放者，即有权使之获得自由的人，等等。

Wherefore if there be any Infortune in the Ascendent at the time of deliverance, it denotes inslavery and imprisonment again; place therefore a fortune in the Ascendent, and let the Lord thereof be well dignified and free from the Malevolent Aspects of the Infortunes, and if possible let him be in Conjunction or loving Aspect of the Lord of the Tenth, and received by him as also the Lord of the Twelfth, and if you can let the Lord of the Tenth be in the Twelfth, or applying thereunto, or to its Lord, and let him be also received of the Lord of the Tenth.

所以若在释放之时有任何凶星在上升，就表示再次沦为奴役、身陷囹圄；所以要放一颗吉星在上升，让上升主星尊贵良好，免于凶星的凶相位，若可能，让他与第十宫主星会合或成友爱的相位，并受其接纳，也受第十二宫主星接纳；若你能做到，让第十宫主星在第十二宫，或入相于它或其主星，并让他也受第十宫主星接纳。

Make also the Moon increasing in Light and Motion, and joined to Fortunes, and let the Fortune to which she is joined either by Body or Aspect be Oriental, and swift of motion also; but let not the Moon be in the Twelfth, nor beholding a Planet slow in motion; Neither let the Lord of the Twelfth be slow nor joined to any Planet but such as are swift and well dignified; fortifie also the Tenth House and its Lord, and let him not be impedited by any means; for then it signifieth imbecillity in the party that is to free the other out of Prison, fewds or slavery; wherefore it is requisite also you dignifie the Sun who is the general Significator of power and authority, &c.

也使月亮在光与行速上增长，与吉星相连，并让她以体合或相位相连的那颗吉星东出，行速也快；但不要让月亮在第十二宫，也不要照看行速迟缓的行星；也不要让第十二宫主星迟缓，也不要与任何行星相连，除非是行速快而尊贵良好的；也要加强第十宫及其主星，不要让他受任何方式的阻碍；因为那样就表示要把对方从监牢、仇怨或奴役中释放出来的那人无能为力；所以你也必须使太阳尊贵，他是权力与权威的总征象星，等等。

CHAP. II. Of Buying and Riding of Horses.

第二章　论买马与骑马。

YOu have him taught in the 16. Chapter and 7. Section of this Treatise, how to buy smaller Cattel, as also in some measure great; however you need but vary your Significators to the Twelfth, as you are there taught of the Sixth, and I need say no more on this matter, for I love not tedious discourses Naturally.

你已在本书第七节第十六章学过怎样买较小的牲畜，在某种程度上也学过大牲畜；不过你只要把征象星换成第十二宫，就像你在那里学的第六宫那样，我在这件事上就不必再说了，因为我天性不喜欢冗长的论述。

Wherefore note, Note. that in what Section I have omitted such things as might have been inserted, you are to supply it out of another by varying in this manner your rules; as in the Eleventh House also you see there is omitted Elections touching making of agreements between friends at variance, &c. but you have that delivered in the second Chapter of the fourth Section, which may serve in the Eleventh or any other House by exactly changing your Significators; and so likewise any other thing you must supply in this nature, for it were both tedious and superfluous thus to make repetition.

所以注意，（注）凡我在某一节里略去了本可写进的事，你都要通过这样变通你的规则，从另一节里补出来；比如在第十一宫，你也看到略去了关于使不和的朋友和解等择日，但你在第四节第二章里已有交代，只要准确地换掉你的征象星，它就可用于第十一宫或任何别的宫；其他任何这类事你也必须这样补上，因为这样重复既冗长又多余。

As touching riding of Horses for any Race, or to win at such a time, fit the Ascendent, its Lord, the Moon and its Dispositor, as also the Planet to whom they are joined, also Part of Fortune, and its Dispositor, and make the Lord of the Ascendent and the Moon apply thereunto, and then place the Lord of the Hour in the Ascendent at that time he steps out of the stable.

至于为任何比赛骑马，或在那时要获胜，就要安排好上升、其主星、月亮及其定位星，以及它们所相连的那颗行星，还有福点及其定位星，并使上升主星和月亮入相于它，然后在马跨出马厩的那一刻，把时辰主星放在上升。

But if all these cannot be observed, place the Lord of the hour (to be sure) in the Ascendent and fortifie the Moon, and place her if you can in Sagittary, or in the first half of Libra, and look that neither the Lord of the hour, the Moon, nor the Lord of the Ascendent be in their fall, for that denotes the horse shall fall in the race before he come to

但若这一切都不能遵守，就（务必）把时辰主星放在上升，并加强月亮，若你能做到，把她放在射手或天秤的前半，并注意时辰主星、月亮、上升主星都不在它们的落，因为那表示马会在比赛中跌倒，在它跑到

The End.

终。
