卷四·第二节第八至九章　火星与太阳在年运盘十二宫

CHAP. VIII. Containing the Significations of Mars in the Twelve Houses of Heaven in any annual Revolution, whether he be Lord of the Year or no.

第八章　载明在任何年度回归中火星在天上十二宫的征象，不论他是不是年主。

HAving done with the significations of Iupiter, it follows now we come to Mars and his significations, who if he be in the first House in any Revolution and strong, whether he be Lord of the year or no, shews that the People of that Country shall gain and be advantaged by wars or slaughters, and shall overcome their Enemies during that Revolution; but if he be weak, they shall disagree and fall out one among another, and shall beat, draw blood and wound one another, for which cause much evil and damage shall happen unto them.

讲完了木星的征象，接下来就要讲火星及其征象，他若在任何回归中在第一宫而强，不论他是不是年主，就显示那个国家的庶民会因战争或杀戮得利占先，在那次回归期间会胜过他们的敌人；但若他虚弱，他们就会彼此不合、翻脸，会互相殴打、见血、伤害，为此会有许多凶事与损害降临他们。

If Mars be in the second House at the time of any Revolution, or Ingress of the Sun into Aries, and strong, he denotes many thefts, rapines and robberies, and cozening and cheating of one another; those also that are intrusted with money or goods of any one, shall be false and deceitful, and the People generally shall be driven to want, and be perplexed with taxations and tributes.

若火星在任何回归即太阳进入白羊之时在第二宫而强，他就表示有许多偷盗、劫掠和抢劫，彼此诓骗欺诈；那些受任何人托付钱财或货物的人会虚伪欺诈，庶民普遍会陷于匮乏，受赋税贡金困扰。

But if he be in the third, men shall not associate themselves with their neighbours and kindred, but instead of being friends hate and envy one another.

但若他在第三宫，人们就不会与他们的邻居和亲族结交，而不是作朋友，彼此憎恨嫉妒。

Also if he be in the fourth, he sends his vigorous heat and malice to all the other Planets, so that if he be in a fiëry sign, he dryes up and scorches the earth, and causeth great mischief by fire, also mortalities; if the sign be humane, he causeth many slaughters and effusion of blood, quarrels and war, and that chiefly in or towards the latter end of the year, and in those places generally subject to the sign wherein he is.

还有，若他在第四宫，他会把他猛烈的热和恶意传给其他一切行星，所以若他在火象星座，他就使大地干涸焦枯，造成大火之害，还有疫亡；若星座是人形的，他就造成许多杀戮流血、争吵与战争，主要在年末或近年末，一般在隶属于他所在星座的那些地方。

And if he happen in the fifth, hard and tedious labour is threatned to those with Child, little or no merry meetings and feastings; but if any, he causeth dissentions and discords amongst them.

若他碰巧在第五宫，怀孕的人就面临艰难漫长的分娩，很少或没有欢聚宴饮；即使有，他也引起其中的纷争不和。

Again, If he be in the sixth, in a hot and dry sign, he causeth hot and dry diseases; if the sign be moyst, the diseases will be hot and moyst; if aiëry, they will be feavers, corruption of blood, impostumes, ventosies, &c. if it be an earthy sign, they will be consumptions and melancholy diseases, with some mixtures of choler; and if the sign be bestial, the beasts subject thereunto shall suffer, &c.

再者，若他在第六宫，在热而干的星座，他造成热而干的疾病；若星座是湿的，疾病就是热而湿的；若是风象的，就是发热、血液败坏、脓肿、胀气等等；若是土象星座，就是痨病与忧郁病，夹杂一些胆汁；若星座是兽形的，隶属于它的牲畜就会受苦，等等。

Moreover, if he be in the seventh, afflicted and weak, he denotes then great dissentions and enmities, and that men shall be perplexed with theft, much blood-shed, contentions and wars; and these shall chiefly be incident to the People of that Climate for which the Radix of your Figure is made, viz. evil accidents, wars and discords, also fraud and deceit in Merchandizing, trouble and sadness.

再者，若他在第七宫，受害而虚弱，他那时就表示大纷争与敌意，人们会受偷盗、大量流血、争执与战争之扰；这些主要会落在你的盘的根盘所为之而起的那个气候带的庶民身上，即凶险的事件、战争与不和，还有买卖中的欺诈诓骗、麻烦与忧伤。

And if he be in the eighth, there shall be fearful and terrible sudden deaths, according to the nature of the sign in which he is.

若他在第八宫，就会有可怕骇人的暴死，依他所在星座的本性而定。

If he be in the ninth, travelling shall be dangerous, also much robbing and plundering therein, if the Journey be by Land; if by Sea, Shipwrack is much to be feared.

若他在第九宫，旅行就会危险，其中也多抢劫掠夺，若是陆上旅行；若是海上，就很怕船难。

Again, If he be in the tenth, the King and Rulers shall be froward and cross with their People, exercising cruelty and tyrannie without any piety or fear of God, and punishing and taxing them without any mercy or pitty.

再者，若他在第十宫，国王与统治者对他们的庶民会乖戾刁难，行残暴专横，毫无虔敬或对上帝的敬畏，惩罚、征税毫无怜悯。

If in the eleventh, men shall not love one another, nor delight in each others society, neither will they be moved with any compassion or pitty.

若在第十一宫，人们不会彼此相爱，也不乐于彼此相聚，也不会被任何同情怜悯所打动。

And if in the twelfth, the People shall be much terrified and troubled by their Enemies, from whence shall proceed slaughter and effusion of blood.

若在第十二宫，庶民会大受他们的敌人惊吓困扰，由此会生出杀戮与流血。

CHAP. IX. Shewing the Significations of the Sun in the Twelve Houses of Heaven in any Annual Revolution, whether he be Lord of the Year or no.

第九章　说明在任何年度回归中太阳在天上十二宫的征象，不论他是不是年主。

REhearsing the Planets according to their order and places in the Heavens, after Mars follows the Sun, who if he be in the Ascendent fortunate, essentially dignified, and in reception with the Lord of the Ascendent, and beheld amically by him, the year shall generally be happy and successful for every one, as well the King as the Beggar; but if he be therein infortunate, it shall be clean contrary; and especially noble and great men shall suffer in their persons dishonour, disgrace, and be perhaps cast out of their dignities and places.

照诸行星在天上的次序与位置来复述，火星之后是太阳，他若在上升而吉利，有必然尊贵，与上升主星有接纳，并受他友好地照看，这一年对每个人，从国王到乞丐，一般都会幸福有成；但若他在其中不吉，就会完全相反；尤其贵族与大人物本人会遭受不名誉、羞辱，或许被逐出他们的尊位与职位。

The Sun in the second, the People shall waste and expend their wealth, also their Rulers shall covet after the fingring and disposing thereof, insomuch that they shall live sneakingly and poor.

太阳在第二宫，庶民会耗费、花尽他们的财富，他们的统治者也会觊觎经手、支配这些财富，以致他们会活得窘迫贫穷。

The Sun in the third, shews the People shall delight in goodness, and in the Law, shall love and associate themselves with their neighbours, friends, kindred and associates, for the which they shall be praised.

太阳在第三宫，显示庶民会乐于善事与法律，会爱他们的邻居、朋友、亲族与同伴，并与之结交，为此受人称赞。

If he be in the fourth, Gardens and Vegetables shall be spoyled and suffer detriment, especially if he be in signs of that nature; great men and high shall be made low and degraded; and if it be a watry sign, the earth shall be dry, and the water dried up: [I believe the Ancients meant fiëry.]

若他在第四宫，园圃与菜蔬会被糟蹋受损，尤其若他在那类本性的星座；位高的大人物会被贬低、降级；若是水象星座，大地会干，水会干涸：【我相信古人指的是火象。】

Again, If the Sun be in the fifth, he denotes detriment and grief to such Creatures as are with young, so that hardly do any escape without some manifest hurt or other.

再者，若太阳在第五宫，他表示怀胎的生物有损害与伤痛，以致几乎没有一个能免于某种明显的伤害。

Also if he be in the sixth, many griefs and infirmities shall happen, and chiefly in the eyes, and such living Creatures shall dye as are signified by the sign wherein he is located; the King also or chief Rulers shall be sad that year, much loss also and damage shall be by servants, and such things as are signified by the sixth House; also the ignoble and baser sort of People shall envy and raise themselves up against their Superiours.

还有，若他在第六宫，会发生许多病痛，主要在眼睛，他所在星座所代表的那类生物会死；国王或主要统治者那一年也会忧伤，也会因仆人以及第六宫所代表之物受许多损失与损害；卑贱下等的人也会嫉妒、起来反对他们的上级。

Moreover, if he be in the seventh, he denoteth discords between the People and their Rulers, and betwixt the King and the Nobles, and that the King shall keep at a distance with the People, or keep himself retire from them.

再者，若他在第七宫，他表示庶民与他们的统治者之间、国王与贵族之间不和，国王会与庶民保持距离，或自己避开他们。

In the eighth, he denotes the death of Kings and great men, also the deposing of Kings, and unthroning of Nobles and Grandees, and a lessening or diminishing of their power, especially if he be beheld by the Lord of the eighth.

在第八宫，他表示国王与大人物之死，也表示国王被废黜，贵族与显要被拉下宝座，他们的权力被削减，尤其若他受第八宫主星照看。

But if he be in the ninth, he shews the inclinations of the People are generally to good, and that they shall be fortunate and successful in long Journies and Voyages, and shall love and delight in both the Law of God and Man.

但若他在第九宫，他显示庶民的倾向普遍向善，在长途旅行与航海中吉利有成，爱好、乐于上帝与人的律法。

Also if the Sun be in the tenth, it denotes the glory, renown and honour of the King or chief Rulers, also the good condition of the People, and that there shall be kindness and love betwixt them; for the People shall willingly obey, and the Superiors shall conferr honour and priviledges on the People.

还有，若太阳在第十宫，它表示国王或主要统治者的荣耀、声名与荣誉，也表示庶民的良好状况，他们之间会有善意与爱；因为庶民会乐意服从，上级也会授予庶民荣誉与特权。

And if he chance to be in the eleventh, the People generally shall have joy and gladness, and shall be merry and solace themselves with their friends, acquaintance and familiars, and their hopes shall not be frustrated; the chief Rulers shall love the People also, and be advantageous unto them.

若他碰巧在第十一宫，庶民普遍会有欢喜，会快乐，与他们的朋友、相识与亲近的人同乐，他们的希望不会落空；主要统治者也会爱庶民，对他们有益。

Lastly, if he be in the twelfth, Rich and Noblemen, and the Grandees shall be eclipsed in their honour, and ignoble persons shall affront and prejudice them; and the People generally shall hate and despise their Superiours, and their Superiours shall oppress and torment them.

最后，若他在第十二宫，富人、贵族与显要的荣誉会失色，卑贱的人会冒犯、损害他们；庶民普遍会憎恨、轻视他们的上级，他们的上级也会压迫、折磨他们。
