卷四·第二节第四章　怎样认出年主

CHAP. IV. How to know that Planet which is Lord of the Year in any Annual Revolution of the Years of the World.

第四章　怎样在任何世运年份的年度回归中认出作年主的那颗行星。

USually the Ancients have found out the Lord of the year by these Rules following, which I shall cordially deliver unto thee, and that with as much plainness as I can, and my Judgment which of them stands with most reason to be followed.

古人通常用下面这些规则找出年主，我要真心地把它们交给你，尽我所能讲得明白，也说出我的判断，其中哪一条最合道理、值得依从。

You must know that by the Lord of the year is known the condition of the whole Nation, People, and indeed every thing therein a general way to happen during the time of that Revolution, wherefore it ought warily to be considered and known, that so thou mayst do thy work compleatly.

你必须知道，由年主可以知道整个国家、庶民，乃至其中一般会在那次回归期间发生的每一件事的状况，所以应当审慎地考虑和认出它，好让你把工作做得完满。

After thou hast exactly calculated the true time (to a minute) of the Sun his entrance into the first point of Aries, and hast erected thy figure as the Heavens were then on the cusp of every house, and the punctual places of the Planets therein (being reduced to the exact time of the day) then see what Planet you finde in an angle; for if there be any at that time so located, he or she shall be Lord or Lady of the year, or such as shall denote the condition thereof during that Revolution; but if you shall finde many Planets in Angles, or one Angle, and wouldst know which of them is to be assigned Lord of the year; look which of them is Lord of the hour or day, and he shall be chosen Lord of the year (having compared one with another, and judged by the major testimonies) especially if he behold the Lord of the term wherein he is, or the Sun, if the Revolution be by day; or the Moon, if by night; and judge according to his strength and debility good or bad as you have already been sufficiently taught.

你精确地算出太阳进入白羊第一点的真实时刻（到一分），照当时的天象把每一宫的宫头和诸行星的准确位置起好盘（换算到那一天的准确时刻）之后，就看你发现哪颗行星在角宫；因为若那时有任何行星这样安放，他或她就是年主，或代表那次回归期间这一年状况的星；但若你发现许多行星在角宫，或在同一个角宫，而想知道其中哪一颗该定为年主；就看其中哪一颗是时辰主星或日主星，就选他作年主（把它们互相比较，按较多的见证判断），尤其若他照看他所在之界的界主，或在昼间回归时照看太阳，在夜间回归时照看月亮；并依他的强弱判断吉凶，如你已充分学过的。

If you finde none of those Planets in Angles Lord of the hour or day, or both, then see which of them is most Fortunate or strong, and make him Lord of the year; see also which of the other Planets are joyned in signification with him, and according to their strengths and debilities and nature do thou make a right commixture, and judge thereof.

若你发现在角宫的那些行星都不是时辰主星或日主星，或两者都不是，就看其中哪一颗最吉利或最强，定他作年主；也看其他行星中哪些在征象上与他相连，依它们的强弱与本性作正确的调和，加以判断。

But if at the time of your Revolution there be no Planet found in any of the Angles, see what Planet is in the eleventh or fifth houses, and that Planet which is found in either of them shall be Lord of the year; if there be more then one, see that you canvess the business, as you have heard of the Planets in Angles in every particular.

但若在你的回归之时，没有行星在任何角宫，就看哪颗行星在第十一宫或第五宫，在其中任一宫里发现的那颗行星就是年主；若不止一颗，就要像你听到的角宫中的行星那样，逐项仔细斟酌这件事。

And yet if thou findest none in the eleventh or fifth, see what are in the ninth or third, and say the Planet in either of them is Lord of the year, and so accordingly judge as you have heard: but if there be no Planets neither in these Houses, see which of all the Planets (the Moon excepted) goes first out of the sign wherein it is, for he shall be Lord of the year, especially if he behold the Lord of the term wherein he is, or the Sun, if the Revolution be by day; or the Moon, if it be by night.

若你在第十一宫或第五宫也一颗都没有发现，就看第九宫或第三宫里有什么，就说在其中任一宫的行星是年主，并照你所听到的那样判断：但若这些宫里也没有行星，就看诸行星中（月亮除外）哪一颗最先离开它所在的星座，他就是年主，尤其若他照看他所在之界的界主，或在昼间回归时照看太阳，或在夜间回归时照看月亮。

But if it happen that the Sun in a Diurnal Revolution be in any of the Angles, or the Moon in a Nocturnal, he or she shall be then Lord or Lady (as I may say) of the Year. Haly also saith, that when in any Revolution it shall happen that the Lord of the Ascendent be also Lord of the house wherein either of the Luminaries are, especially that of the Time, he shall without doubt or controversie be Lord of the Year, and also significator of the People.

但若碰巧在昼间回归时太阳在任何一个角宫，或在夜间回归时月亮在角宫，他或她那时就是这一年的主人或女主人（我可以这么说）。哈利还说，在任何回归中，若碰巧上升主星同时又是任一光体所在之宫的主星，尤其是当令之光所在之宫的主星，他就毫无疑问、无可争议地是年主，也是庶民的征象星。

These are the Rule of some of the Ancients for finding the Lord of the Year in any Annual Revolution, others have taught us to have regard to the Lord of the Ascendent, who if he be direct, free from Combustion, and in the ascendent, viz within three degrees within the house or four without, or without side of the cusp, he shall (without any more ado) be concluded Lord of the year, and you need not trouble your self further to seek any other; but if he be either Combust or Retrograde he cannot be admitted Lord of the year.

这些是有些古人在任何年度回归中找出年主的规则；另一些人教我们看上升主星，他若顺行，免于焦伤，又在上升里，即在宫内三度以内或宫外四度以内，即宫头的外侧，就（不必再费周折）断定他是年主，你也不必再费心去找别的；但若他焦伤或逆行，就不能被认作年主。

Wherefore then you are to consider the condition of the Planet that hath Exaltation in the Ascendent; if it be a sign wherein any of the Planets have Exaltation, and see whether he be free from Combustion and Direct, and placed in the Ascendent, as you have heard: for if so, he shall be Lord of the year; but if he be Retrograde or Combust, he shall not have that honour.

那么你就要考虑在上升有旺的那颗行星的状况；若那是某颗行星在其中有旺的星座，就看他是否免于焦伤而顺行，并如你所听到的那样在上升里：因为若是这样，他就是年主；但若他逆行或焦伤，他就得不到这份荣誉。

So that then you are to inquire whither the Sun or Moon be not worthy of this Rule; for if the Revolution be by day, and the Sun have any dominion in the Ascendent he shall have it; if by night, and the Moon so dignified, it shall be hers; but if neither of these be thus, have regard to the Lord of the term of the cusp of the Ascendent, and see whether he be free and placed as you have heard of the Lord of the Ascendent and Planet therein exalted, and if so, he shall be Lord of the year, otherways not; and then lastly, consider the Lord of the Triplicity, of the sign ascending in the like manner, and if neither of these yet can be admitted Lord of the year, then you are to look whether the Lord of the tenth house be free from Combustion and Direct, and placed within three degrees within, and four without the cusp of the tenth house, and if so, he shall be assuredly Lord of the year; but if Retrograde or Combust, not; and so you must consider the Lord of the Exaltation of the tenth house, if there be any, and the Sun and Moon, the Lord of the Term of the tenth, and the Lord of the Triplicity as you have heard of the Ascendent, &c.

那么你就要问太阳或月亮是否配得这个主权；因为若回归在昼间，而太阳在上升有任何主权，就是他的；若在夜间，而月亮这样有尊贵，就是她的；但若两者都不是这样，就看上升宫头所在之界的界主，看他是否没有受害，并如你所听到的上升主星和在其中得旺的行星那样安放，若是这样，他就是年主，否则不是；最后照同样方式考虑上升星座的三方主，若这些仍都不能被认作年主，你就要看第十宫主星是否免于焦伤而顺行，并在第十宫宫头内三度以内、宫外四度以内，若是这样，他必定是年主；但若逆行或焦伤，就不是；照这样你还要考虑第十宫的旺主（若有的话），以及太阳和月亮、第十宫的界主与三方主，如你所听到的上升那样，等等。

And if still thou art to seek for the Lord of the year, have regard unto the seventh house, after the same manner thou hast to these; and then to the fourth, after that to the eleventh, fifth, ninth and third; first considering the Lord of the sign upon the cusp of the house, then the Planet therein exalted, afterwards the Luminaries, the Lord of the term then, and lastly the Lord of the Triplicity, &c. and some of the Ancients also have had regard to the Lord of the face; but both that, as also all the rest, I do not much esteem, yet mayest thou, if thou pleasest follow them, also all the rest, I do not much esteem, yet mayest thou, if thou pleasest follow them, wherefore I would not totally omit them; for by these Rules you see there is no Planet to be admitted Lord of the year, but such as are direct and free from Impediment and Combustion, and so consequently the year in every Revolution must always be fruitfull, and the People always successfull, never crossed or troubled, &c. which we see repugnant both to reason and experience; and therefore the Ancients in this matter are no wise, I say, consented to by me.

若你仍须寻找年主，就照你对这些宫的同样方式去看第七宫；然后看第四宫，之后看第十一、第五、第九和第三宫；先考虑宫头星座的主星，再考虑在其中得旺的行星，然后是两光，再是界主，最后是三方主，等等；有些古人还看面主；但对那一条，以及其余一切，我都不大看重，不过若你愿意，也可以依从它们，所以我不愿把它们全然略去；因为照这些规则，你看，除了顺行、免于阻碍与焦伤的行星，没有行星能被认作年主，这样一来，每一次回归的年份必定总是丰收，庶民总是有成，从不受挫受扰，等等，我们看到这既违背道理，也违背经验；所以我说，古人在这件事上完全不为我所赞同。

For this is most certain, that if the Lord of the year be free from Impediment, well dignified and aspected, the year during that Revolution shall be plentifull, temperate and healthfull, and the People in good condition, fortunate, successfull, and in esteem; but if the Lord of the year be impedited, afflicted and unfortunate, judge the contrary; especially if the Moon concur in signification: for she is still to be considered, being a general significatrix of as well all things sublunary, as men and women.

因为这是最确定的：若年主免于阻碍，有尊贵、受吉照，那次回归期间这一年就丰收、温和、健康，庶民状况良好、吉利、有成、受人敬重；但若年主受阻、受害、不吉，就判断相反；尤其若月亮在征象上相合：因为她始终要被考虑，她是一切月下事物以及男女的一般女征象星。

What the Lord of the year signifies in any Revolution, whether good or bad, shalbe manifested chiefly in those Regions and Cities subject to the sign wherein he is, the Quarter of Heaven he is located in, and to the signification of the Planet who is Lord of the year; if the Lord of the year be unfortunated or afflicted in the Ascendent, or assisted by the Fortunes and essentially dignified therein, the People shall be successfull or afflicted in their persons according to the fortitude or debility of the Significator, and the nature of the house: if in the second, in their Substance; in the third, in their short Journeys, Friendship and neighbourly Conversation; in the fourth, in their Lands, Grounds and Heritages; in the fifth, in their Children, Mirth and Jollity; and so judge of all things appertaining to the life of man, whether good or evil, by running over the signification of every house, and considering the nature of the Planet afflicted or assisted therein, &c.

年主在任何回归中所表示的事，不论好坏，主要会显现在隶属于他所在星座的地区与城市、他所在的天区，以及与作年主的那颗行星的征象相关之处；若年主在上升受害或受损，或受吉星相助并在其中有必然尊贵，庶民就会依征象星的强弱和那一宫的本性，在他们本人身上有成或受苦：若在第二宫，在他们的财物上；在第三宫，在短途旅行、友谊与邻里往来上；在第四宫，在田地、土地与祖产上；在第五宫，在子女、欢乐与嬉游上；照这样逐一走过每一宫的征象，考虑在其中受害或得助的行星的本性，判断人生一切有关之事，不论好坏，等等。

I might here still run on with the Rules of the Ancients for the finding out of the Lord of the year, and inlarge this Chapter to the consistence of two or three sheets, for (omitting the sayings of other Authors) Bonaturs alone hath no less then 54. several Rules or Considerations for the finding out thereof, but to rehearse them all were but to tire thee and my self both, to little or no purpose; for were they of any moment, should there be as many millions as units in them, I should be very willing and ready to acquaint thee therewith.

我在这里还可以接着讲古人找出年主的规则，把这一章扩充到两三印张那么长，因为（别的作者的说法不论）单是博纳提就有不下五十四条找出年主的规则或考量，但全部复述只会使你我都疲倦，几乎或全然没有用处；因为若它们有什么分量，即使它们多到如一里面有百万，我也很愿意、很乐意让你知道。

Wherefore take this short, but sure Rule, for the finding out of the Lord of the year in any Annual Revolution whatsoever; see what sign ascends, and who is Lord thereof, at the time of the Sun his ingress into the first Punctum of Aries, and Almuten, and let that Planet who is Almuten be Lord of the year, whether he be Combust or Retrograde, or both, it mattereth not; yet joyn in Judgement with him the Planet therein exalted or dignified by house (in the eighth Chapter of the second Treatise you are sufficiently taught the essential dignities of the Planets, and how to judge of them) as for example.

所以请取这条简短而可靠的规则，在任何年度回归中找出年主；看太阳进入白羊第一点之时上升的是什么星座，谁是它的主星，谁是它的胜星，就让那颗作胜星的行星作年主，不论他焦伤或逆行，或两者都有，都无关紧要；但要把在其中得旺或以庙得尊贵的行星一同纳入判断（在第二卷第八章你已充分学过诸行星的必然尊贵，以及怎样判断它们）比如。

We shall imagine at the time of the Sun his ingress (being Diurnal) Aries to ascend upon the cusp of the first house in any horizon, and the first degree thereof; the Lord of Aries I finde to be Mars, who by reason he is therein essentially dignified by house, hath five essential dignities therefore allowed him; the term of the cusp being one of the first six degrees of the sign is Jupiters, the exaltation is the Suns, who hath therefore four dignities allowed him, the Triplicity (if by day) is also the Suns, for which he hath also three dignities, which makes with the other four seven; then if we examine yet farther what face the cusp is in, it being in the first ten degrees of the sign, we shall finde it to be Mars his, for the which he hath one dignity assigned him, which together with the aforesaid five, makes six and no more; hence then.

我们设想在太阳进入白羊之时（在昼间），在某个地平上白羊的第一度上升到第一宫的宫头；我发现白羊的主星是火星，他因在其中以庙得必然尊贵，所以分给他五分必然尊贵；宫头的界，由于在这星座的前六度之内，是木星的；旺是太阳的，因此分给他四分；三方（若在昼间）也是太阳的，因此他又得三分，与前面的四分合为七分；然后若我们再进一步考察宫头在什么面，它在这星座的前十度之内，我们发现是火星的，为此分给他一分，与前面的五分合起来是六分，不再多；那么由此。

I am to conclude the Sun to be Lord of the year being Almuten of the ascendent, or the Planet bearing most dominion therein, whose dignities you see were seven; yet Mars shall be joyned in judgement with him, but still the Sun shall be chief Dominator or Significator whether of good or evil, according to their strength or debility, as you have already sufficiently been informed; yet because I desire that the Students in this Science should be well verst in their Rules, I shall yet further deliver some Instructions touching the condition of such things signified by the Lord of the year in any Revolution, by the signification of his Nature, place in the Heavens, and his configurations with the other planets, and I hope to give you any more examples in this matter, being so plain in this one; wherefore then we shall to our business in hand.

我要断定太阳是年主，因为他是上升的胜星，即在其中主权最多的行星，你看他的尊贵是七分；但火星要一同纳入判断，不过太阳仍是首要的支配者或征象星，不论吉凶，依他们的强弱而定，如你已充分得知的；不过因为我希望这门学问的学生熟习他们的规则，我还要再交代一些指示，讲年主在任何回归中依其本性、在天上的位置以及与其他行星的格局所代表之事的状况；在这件事上我想不必再给你更多例子了，这一个已经这样明白；那么我们就来做手头的事。
