卷四·第二节第十至十一章　金星与水星在年运盘十二宫

CHAP. X. Shewing the Signification of Venus in the Twelve Houses of Heaven in any Annual Revolution, whether she be Lady of the Year or no.

第十章　说明在任何年度回归中金星在天上十二宫的征象，不论她是不是年之女主。

AFter the Sun follows Venus, who if she be in the Ascendent, strong and well dignified, the people shall be strong and healthy, and have much joy and gladness, shall endeavour to live neatly and in a comely spruce manner, both for matter of meat and raiment, and all other things necessary for the perfecting of a mans pleasure in this life.

太阳之后是金星，她若在上升，强而尊贵良好，庶民就会强健，有许多欢乐喜悦，会努力过得整洁、体面、讲究，在饮食衣着上，以及在成全一个人此生享乐所需的其他一切事物上都是如此。

Venus in the second, causeth profit and gain by Women, happiness and fertility of the Fruits of the Earth.

金星在第二宫，主因妇女得利得益，地上的果实幸福丰饶。

If she be in the third, men shall hate one another, and no wise desire the society of their friends and neighbours, also be careless of Religion, Law and all goodness.

若她在第三宫，人们会彼此憎恨，全不想要朋友和邻居的交往，也会轻忽宗教、法律与一切善事。

Also if she be in the fourth, men shall be jealous of their Wives, and shall therefore shut them up, also sadness and anxiety caused by Mothers; but yet the latter end of the year shall be better then the beginning.

还有，若她在第四宫，男人会猜忌他们的妻子，因此把她们关锁起来，也有母亲引起的忧伤焦虑；但这一年的后段会比开头好。

If she be in the fifth, damage is portended through the occasion of Children; but the latter end of the year will be better then the beginning, and the grief and sadness converted into joy; such Creatures as are with young shall go safely and be delivered, but the most part will be Females; Men shall be Captivated with the love of Women, and shall be merry with them, shall delight in singing, dancing, feasting, and seeming spruce and neat.

若她在第五宫，预示因子女的缘故有损害；但这一年的后段会比开头好，忧伤会转为欢乐；怀胎的生物会顺利度过并分娩，但多半会是雌的；男人会被对妇女的爱所俘获，会与她们作乐，会乐于歌唱、跳舞、宴饮，显得讲究整洁。

Also if she be in the sixth, and the sign humane, men shall profit by servants; in like manner if the sign be bestial, they shall also gain thereby, viz. by such beasts as are thereby signified, and they shall be free from sickness and other accidents, and women shall be sick through surfets and weakness of the stomack.

还有，若她在第六宫，而星座是人形的，人们会因仆人得利；同样若星座是兽形的，他们也会由此得利，即由它所代表的那些牲畜，他们会免于疾病与其他意外，而妇女会因饮食过度和胃弱而生病。

Again, If she be in the seventh, Women shall make and conclude Marriages, and delight themselves with their Husbands if she be strong; but if she be weak, they shall fall out and scold with their Husbands, and shall be disobedient unto them, and shall run scolding and prating out of their houses, and separate and divorce themselves many of them from their husbands.

再者，若她在第七宫，妇女会订立、缔结婚姻，若她强，会与丈夫和乐；但若她虚弱，她们会与丈夫翻脸、吵骂，会不顺从他们，会边骂边嚷地跑出家门，其中许多人会与丈夫分开、离异。

Moreover if in the eighth, she denotes the death of Matrons and great Women, also generally mortality to all Women, if she be then weak.

还有，若在第八宫，她表示命妇与贵妇之死，若她那时虚弱，也表示一切妇女普遍多死。

If she be in the ninth, she shews Men of Religious Orders shall flit and remove from one place and house to another, and that Men shall dream true Dreams, and perform long Journeys and Voyages with safety, and profit and gain thereby; Men shall be Lovers of the Law both of God and Man, and esteem of all good Learning, and strive to be vertuous.

若她在第九宫，她显示修会之人会从一处、一屋迁到另一处，人们会做真实的梦，会平安地完成长途旅行与航海，并由此得利；人们会爱上帝与人的律法，尊重一切好学问，力求有德。

But if she be in the tenth, joy and gladness will be occasioned by and from the King and Superiours, the Grandees also shall love and delight themselves with Women, whom they shall adorn and deck sumptuously; they shall also take much pleasure in Jesters, all merry conceits and tricks, also in Musick, Songs and the like; the People shall be in a good condition, and shall be beloved and honoured by their Superiours.

但若她在第十宫，欢乐喜悦会由国王与上级引起、从他们而来，显要们也会宠爱妇女、与之同乐，把她们打扮得华丽；他们也会很喜欢弄臣、一切逗乐的巧思与把戏，也喜欢音乐、歌曲之类；庶民会状况良好，受上级爱重。

Also if she be in the eleventh, the People shall be fortunate, successful and happy, by reason their faith, trust and hope shall not fail them; they shall also accompany themselves with Women, and shall be taken in love one with another, and commit Fornications, and transgress the Law, yet shall they spend the year with great jollity and mirth.

还有，若她在第十一宫，庶民会吉利、有成、幸福，因为他们的信心、信赖与希望不会辜负他们；他们也会与妇女相伴，彼此相恋，犯下私通，违犯法律，但他们会在极大的嬉乐欢笑中度过这一年。

If in the twelfth, Tribulation is threatned, and enmity with Women; for Men shall hate them, and no wise be assistant unto them, so that they shall be during the time of that Revolution most unfortunate.

若在第十二宫，就预示苦难，以及与妇女为敌；因为男人会憎恨她们，全不帮助她们，以致她们在那次回归期间会极其不幸。

CHAP. XI. Of the Significations of Mercury in the Twelve Houses of Heaven in any Annual Revolution, whether he be Lord of the Year or no.

第十一章　论在任何年度回归中水星在天上十二宫的征象，不论他是不是年主。

MErcury in the twelve Houses of Heaven comes now to be considered, who if he be in the first, he shews the year shall be good and successful; Men shall be ingenious and also Children and Youth, so that they shall during that Revolution be apt to attain to any thing that shall be taught them, or that they shall incline their minds to understand.

现在要来考虑水星在天上十二宫，他若在第一宫，就显示这一年会好而有成；人们会聪明，孩童与少年也是，以致在那次回归期间，凡教给他们的，或他们有意要懂的，他们都易于学会。

If he be in the second and strong, Merchants and Trades-men shall profit and gain by their Merchandizings, shall be faithful and justly perform the trust reposed in them, shall be honoured, famous and in great esteem of their Superiours; but if he be unfortunate, it denotes loss and decay of trading, infidelity and breach of trust, and that men shall give themselves over to gain by unlawful and indirect means, and the like.

若他在第二宫而强，商人与手艺人会靠他们的买卖得利获益，会忠实，公正地履行对他们的托付，会受尊重、出名，大受上级器重；但若他不吉，就表示贸易损失衰落，不忠，背弃托付，人们会一味用不法、不正当的手段求利之类。

Also if he be in the third, men shall love and delight in the Law, and in all kind of Knowledge and Religion; and shall love and associate themselves one with another, and shall delight in short Journies.

还有，若他在第三宫，人们会爱好、乐于法律、各种知识与宗教；会彼此相爱结交，也乐于短途旅行。

Again, In the fourth he causeth discords and jarrings in words betwixt man and man, also vexation and sadness; also many Scribes shall be captivated, or such as keep Books of Accounts, or Secretaries of State; and if the sign wherein he is be fixed, they shall continue long in Prison; if moveable, judge the contrary; and if Mars do then maliciously aspect him, they shall be grievously beaten and tormented, and perhaps slain.

再者，在第四宫，他引起人与人之间言语上的争执口角，也有烦恼与忧伤；许多书记，或记账的人，或国务秘书会被拘捕；若他所在的星座是固定的，他们会久在狱中；若是变动的，就判断相反；若火星那时恶意地照看他，他们会被重重殴打、折磨，或许被杀。

Also if he be in the fifth, he denotes success and joy by and in Children, messages, sports, pastimes and ingenious recreations, by which sadness shall be totally abolished; also such as are with Young shall go their time safely, and be at length well delivered, and these for the most part shall be ingenious Creatures; but if he be unfortunate, no Conception shall be brought to perfection, and judge the contrary to what you have heard.

还有，若他在第五宫，他表示因子女、在子女身上，在信使、游戏、消遣与机巧的娱乐中有成功与欢乐，由此忧伤会全然消除；怀胎的生物也会足月平安，终于顺利分娩，所生的多半会是聪慧的生物；但若他不吉，任何受孕都不能成全，并判断与你所听到的相反。

Moreover if he be in the sixth, contentions, trouble and vexation shall happen through the default and actions of servants and vile ignoble persons, or such as belong to a mans own family, or by small Cattel, viz. such as are signified by the sign wherein he is, or by sickness, &c. Children also and Young men shall many of them dye and be diseased according to his affliction in this House.

再者，若他在第六宫，会因仆人与卑贱之人，或一个人自己家中之人的过失与行为，或因小牲畜，即他所在星座所代表的那些，或因疾病，等等，发生争执、麻烦与烦恼。孩童与年轻人也会有许多人死亡、患病，依他在这一宫受害的程度而定。

If he be in the seventh, he denotes men will be addicted to lasciviousness, and the company of women carnally; and if he be weak, they shall fly out and commit many fornications and filthy acts.

若他在第七宫，他表示人们会沉溺于淫乐，在肉体上与妇女相伴；若他虚弱，他们会放纵出去，犯下许多私通与秽行。

In the eighth, he shall cause the death of many Young men, Women and Children, also discords and contentions between men concerning Wils, Legacies and the mind of the deceased.

在第八宫，他会造成许多年轻男子、妇女和孩童死亡，也造成人与人之间为遗嘱、遗赠和死者的意愿发生的不和与争执。

Also if in the ninth, long Journies will be performed with safety and pleasure, also men shall mutually desire each others society, and delight in all honest and good Learning, and apply their minds to the finding out of hidden secrets and mysteries; but if he be weak, their study will be impious and wicked; and so of all the rest, judge the contrary.

还有，若在第九宫，长途旅行会平安愉快地完成，人们也会彼此渴望相聚，乐于一切诚实良好的学问，用心去找出隐秘的奥秘；但若他虚弱，他们的研究就会不敬而邪恶；其余一切也是这样，判断相反。

Again, If Mercury be in the tenth, Merchants and Scribes, also Scholars and Ingenious men shall be honoured by their King and Superiours; also all such men as are signified by Mercury; but if he be afflicted, judge the contrary, according to the nature of the Planet afflicting and the Sign and Quarter of Heaven he is in.

再者，若水星在第十宫，商人与书记，还有学者与聪慧之人，会受他们的国王与上级尊荣；一切由水星代表的人也是；但若他受害，就依施害之星的本性及他所在的星座与天区，判断相反。

Moreover if he be in the Eleventh, men shall love and associate themselves one with another, they shall mutually give gifts, and profit one by another.

还有，若他在第十一宫，人们会彼此相爱结交，会互赠礼物，彼此得利。

In the Twelfth, the People shall be plotted against by their Enemies: also Servants and Children shall disagree and clash with men and women: also losses by great Cattell, if the Sign be Bestial, &c.

在第十二宫，庶民会被他们的敌人算计：仆人与孩童也会与男人女人不和冲撞：若星座是兽形的，也有大牲畜的损失，等等。
