卷四·第二节第二十一至二十二章　月亮作年主，与龙头龙尾在十二星座

CHAP. XXI. Containing the Significations of the Moon, when she is Lady of the Year in any of the twelve Signs.

第二十一章　载明月亮作年之女主时在十二星座中任何一个的征象。

ALL that I have said from the 15. Chapter of this second Section hath been but (in a manner) meerly reiterations, and an inlargement of such rules as were more briefly delivered before, that the Students in this Art might be very well versed in their rules, and perfected in the reasons and grounds thereof.

我从这第二节第十五章以来所说的一切，（在某种程度上）都只是重复，是把先前讲得较简略的规则加以扩充，好叫学这门技艺的人对这些规则非常熟练，对其道理与根据也精通。

It resteth therefore now we also handle the significations of the Moon in every one of the twelve Celestial signs when she is Lady of the year; but I must confess I am almost tired and wearied out with this kinde of repetition; wherefore I shall only in less bounds, [yet as largely and plainly as the Ancients for matter of Instruction,] deliver unto you the ground of these rules, and so proceed to the significations of the Dragons Head and Tail.

所以现在剩下的，是我们也讲月亮作年之女主时在十二个天上星座中每一个的征象；但我必须承认，我对这种重复几乎已经累了、倦透了；所以我只用较短的篇幅，［但就教导的内容而言，同古人一样详尽明白，］把这些规则的根据交给你，然后进而讲龙头与龙尾的征象。

Know then that the Moon (as you have heard in the 5. Chapter of this second Section) doth denote all the good that can possibly be desired to the Commons and People in general when she is Lady of the year and strong or well dignified; if she be weak, the contrary according to her debility and impediment you are to judge.

那么要知道，月亮（如你在这第二节第五章所听到的）在她作年之女主而强或尊贵良好时，确实表示庶民与一般人民所能期望的一切好事；若她弱，就要依她的无力与阻碍判断相反。

Well then when you see in your figure she is strong either essentially or accidentally, look to the Nature of the sign she is in, and artificially commixing their Natures and their strength therein, judge thou good to such things and places as are by her and the sign she is in signified or understood either naturally or accidentally as they are placed in the Heavens, according as you have heard sufficiently before; if she be weak, judge the contrary after the same manner.

那么，当你在你的盘中看到她必然地或偶然地强，就看她所在星座的本性，巧妙地把它们的本性和她在其中的力量混合起来，判断对她以及她所在星座本然或偶然所表示、所指的那些事物与地方有好处，依它们在天上的位置，照你先前已充分听过的；若她弱，就照同样的方式判断相反。

For you must remember that the Moon in humane signs shews her events whether good or bad on mankinde, according to the Sex of the sign she is in; if in aëry signs in the ayr; in watry, in the water; in earthy, in the earth; in bestial in and upon beasts of the nature and quality of the sign; as if it be Aries, on sheep; Capricorn, on Goats; Taurus, on Bulls, Cows, Oxen and the greater sort of Cattel, and the like.

因为你要记住，月亮在人形星座，依她所在星座的性别，在人类身上显出她的事，不论好坏；若在风象星座，在空中；在水象，在水中；在土象，在地上；在兽形星座，就在那星座本性与性质的兽类身上；比如若是白羊，在羊身上；摩羯，在山羊身上；金牛，在公牛、母牛、阉牛以及大一类的牲畜身上，诸如此类。

Neither oughtest thou to forget to make commixtures according to the nature of the Planets in configuration or Conjunction with her at the time of the Revolution; for upon the true and exact commixtures (which you have been shewn in the foregoing Planets, and therefore needless here again to make repetition) dependeth the whole secret and key of the Art, and therefore let me here admonish thee once more (although I have often already) to be perfect in the nature and temperature of every Planet, every sign, every aspect, every house, every dignity, every Triplicity, every exaltation, every term, every face, every detriment, every fall, every essential dignity and debility of every Planet in every Sign, and then thou hast attained above half the Art, nay three parts and three quarters (being divided into four) and therefore let the second Treatise intituled An Introduction to the Judgement of the Stars, be read over and over, which will perfect thee in these particulars, so mayst thou boldly venter upon these two other Treatises, which will then be most easily comprehended, and the greatest mysteries therein quickly attained.

你也不可忘记依回归之时与她成格局或会合的诸行星的本性来作混合；因为这门技艺的全部秘密与钥匙，都在于真实准确的混合（这在前面诸行星中已向你说明过，所以不必在此再重复），所以让我在这里再劝诫你一次（虽然我已常常劝过）：要精通每颗行星、每个星座、每个相位、每一宫、每种尊贵、每个三方、每个旺、每个界、每个面、每个陷、每个落、每颗行星在每个星座中的每种必然尊贵与无力的本性与气质，那么你就已得到这门技艺的一半以上，不，是三份又四分之三（若把它分作四份），所以要把题为《星辰判断入门》的第二部一读再读，那会使你在这些细节上精通，这样你就可以大胆地着手另外这两部，那时它们就最容易领会，其中最大的奥秘也很快就能得到。

And thus much shall suffice to be said of the significations of the seven Celestial Planets in the 12 signs when they are Lords or Ladies of the year; the same also should serve for Rules to the judging the Portencies of the Dragons head and Dragons tail, but that perhaps (their natures having not been before discussed, so much as have the Planets) they might remain obscure, and the knowledge of the young Students therein defective; wherefore I shall yet spend one quarter of a sheet more for their further instruction in this matter.

关于七颗天上行星作年之主或女主时在十二星座的征象，就说这么多；这些也应当可以作为判断龙头与龙尾的预兆的规则，只是或许（因为它们的本性先前没有像诸行星那样讨论得多）它们会仍然晦涩，年轻学子在这上面的知识会有欠缺；所以我还要再花四分之一张纸，进一步指导他们这件事。

CHAP. XXII. Shewing what is signified by the Head and Tayl of the Dragon, as they are placed in any of the Twelve Signs in any Revolution.

第二十二章　说明在任何回归中龙头与龙尾位于十二星座中任何一个时所表示的事。

MAny are the significations of ☊ and ☋ therefore to particularize every particular thing, would be both tedious, and in a manner needless, yet I hold it very necessary you be well acquainted with their denotations in every sign of the Zodiack in any Revolution, as followeth.

龙头与龙尾的征象很多，所以把每一件事都一一细说，既冗长，在某种程度上也不必要，但我认为你很有必要熟知它们在任何回归中在黄道每个星座中的所指，如下。

If therefore in any annual Revolution of the World you finde ☊ in Aries, it signifies the rise of great and noble men, and the dejection and suppression of vile and ignoble; and if ☋ be in Aries, it shews the ill state and condition of noble and great men, and that they shall be injured and damnified by the common sort of People.

所以若在世界的任何年度回归中你发现龙头在白羊，它表示大人物与贵人的兴起，卑贱者与非贵族受贬抑压制；若龙尾在白羊，它显示贵人与大人物处境状况不好，他们会受平民所伤害损害。

If ☊ be in Taurus, it denotes the slaughter of Kings, Noble, Great and Rich men in the Northern parts, and in the Western parts many controversies and Dissentions amongst great and noble men and the Pleabeans: if ☋ be in Taurus, it signifies little Piety or Mercy in men and women, and many troublesom and unprofitable journeys in the same parts.

若龙头在金牛，它表示北部的国王、贵人、大人物与富人遭杀戮，西部大人物、贵人与平民之间有许多争议纷争：若龙尾在金牛，它表示男女少有虔敬或怜悯，在同样那些地方有许多麻烦而无益的旅行。

☊ in Gemini shews sicknesses and divers infirmities to Rich and Noblemen, or such as are the Grandees of the earth, which shall happen through tempestuous and noysom gales of wind, earthquakes, and unwholsom infectious Mists; it signifies also Wars and Dissentions betwixt great and rich men, and men of a middle degree, and that the Trees shall be much damnified by Catterpillers, and such like Worms. If ☋ be in Gemini, the Commons shall be exalted and elevated, and they shall spurn at, and despise their Superiors and Rulers, and indeavour to get all power and authority into their own hands.

龙头在双子显示富人与贵人，或世上的显要，有疾病与各种病痛，那会由狂暴有害的阵风、地震与不卫生有传染性的雾而来；它也表示大人物、富人与中等人之间的战争与纷争，树木会大受毛虫及那类蠕虫所害。若龙尾在双子，庶民会被抬高擢升，他们会踢开、蔑视他们的上级与统治者，力图把一切权力与权柄都抓在自己手里。

Also if ☊ be in Cancer, it denotes honorable and bountious acts of the King and Rulers towards their People and Subjects; and if ☋ be in Cancer, it denotes great mortalities and pestilencies, sudden deaths, fornications and little or no justice, reason or honesty amongst men, the destruction of treasuries, and the flitting of great and noble men out of one place into another, also their sad condition and banishment through the works of their own hands, as writing, or some other thing signified by the ingenious Planet Mercury.

还有，若龙头在巨蟹，它表示国王与统治者对他们的人民与臣民有荣耀慷慨的作为；若龙尾在巨蟹，它表示大量的死亡与瘟疫，暴死，奸淫，人间很少或没有公道、理性与诚实，府库被毁，大人物与贵人从一处迁到另一处，他们也因自己手中所作的事，如写的文字，或灵巧的行星水星所表示的别的东西，而处境悲惨、遭放逐。

Again ☊ in Leo in any Revolution signifies much lightning and apparitions in the ayr, much dammage trouble and vexation, and also infectious ayr: Dragons tail in Leo, signifies a dark obscure ayr, earthquakes, increase of waters and wet weather and destruction to the fruits both of trees and the Earth.

再者，龙头在任何回归中在狮子，表示多闪电与空中的异象，许多损害、麻烦与烦恼，也有传染性的空气：龙尾在狮子，表示昏暗不明的空气，地震，水的增长与潮湿天气，树上与地里的果实都被毁。

Also if ☊ be in Virgo, the fruits of the Earth and of trees shall be destroyed, there shall be many Catterpillers, and dammage and hurt shall pursue even those fruits both of Trees, and of the Earth that are gathered into the Store-houses or Barnes, and they shall suffer great detriment: and if ☋ be in Virgo shame, hatred, and disgrace shall fall upon noble and great men, and there shall be much dissention and controversie amongst them, Religious houses, and such as study Divine matters, also shall greatly suffer dammage, trouble and loss, many discords, debates and quarrels amongst men in points of Religion and Faith, Schisms and Heresies, &c.

还有，若龙头在处女，地上与树上的果实会被毁，会有许多毛虫，损害伤害甚至会追随那些已收进仓库或谷仓的、树上与地里的果实，它们会受到大损害：若龙尾在处女，羞辱、憎恶与耻辱会落到贵人与大人物身上，他们之间会有许多纷争争议，修道院以及研习神学的人也会大受损害、麻烦与损失，人们在宗教与信仰的问题上有许多不和、辩论与争吵，分裂与异端，等等。

Moreover ☊ in Libra shews that Kings and the Grandees of the earth, shall exercise their power and authority over their People, both against Justice and their own Honour, taxing them with crimes, whereof they are innocent, and imposing Taxations, and heavy extortions and burthens on them, insomuch that by reason of their poverty, which they shall be reduced to, and their grievous sad condition, they shall sink under the burthen as not being able to sustain it; but if ☋ be in Libra, it denotes the mortality of fourfooted Creatures, especially those of the smaller sort; also in Summer, extream drought; and in Winter, very hard cold weather; the Fruits of the Earth shall be destroyed, also the Seeds, Plants and Trees shall be damnified, so that they shall produce little or no increase.

还有，龙头在天秤显示国王与世上的显要会对他们的人民行使权力权柄，既违背公义也违背他们自己的荣誉，以他们无辜的罪名加罪于他们，强加赋税、沉重的勒索与负担，以致他们因被逼到贫穷，因他们悲惨的处境，会被重担压垮，承受不了；但若龙尾在天秤，它表示四足生物的死亡，尤其是较小的那一类；也有夏季的极度干旱；冬季很严酷的寒冷天气；地上的果实会被毁，种子、植物与树木也受损，以致它们很少或没有收成。

Dragons Head in Scorpio, signifies joy, success and gladness to men of mean degree, and sadness, grief and trouble to great men, and those in high degree; also dissentions, quarrels and bloodshed amongst them (if other testimonies concur) and amongst the common people, deceat, treachery and fornications, for the which misdemeanors, they shall (many of them) fall into the hands of their Kings and Rulers; if Dragons tail be therein, men shall be molested with many feavers and infirmities in the brest, catarrs and defluctions in the throat, but noble and great men shall be safe, quiet and in a peaceable condition.

龙头在天蝎，表示中等身份的人喜乐、顺利、欢欣，大人物与身居高位的人忧伤、悲痛、烦恼；也有他们之间的纷争、争吵与流血（若其他见证相合），平民之间有欺骗、背信与奸淫，因为这些过失，他们（其中许多人）会落到他们的国王与统治者手中；若龙尾在其中，人们会受许多热病与胸部疾病、喉中的黏液与流液所扰，但贵人与大人物会平安、安静、处境和平。

Again, if Dragons head be in any annual Revolution in Sagittary, the common people of Babylon shall be afflicted by their King and Superiors, and suffer many vexations and injuries by them; also their beasts shall suffer much detriment, and those that are in an hostile-posture, especially if it be in the last fifteen degrees of Sagittary, it signifies also an hot and dry ayr, also a thick and obscure face of heaven; And if Dragons Tail be therein, it signifies the dejection of Noble and Great men and their misfortune, but the rise of Ignoble base fellows, and the sad condition of Judges, Councellors, Learned and Wise-men, espetially if Dragons-Tail be in the first fifteen degrees.

再者，若在任何年度回归中龙头在射手，巴比伦的平民会受他们的国王与上级苦害，受他们许多烦扰伤害；他们的牲畜也会受大损害，还有那些处于敌对姿态的人，尤其若它在射手的后十五度，它也表示热而干的空气，也有浓厚昏暗的天色；若龙尾在其中，它表示贵人与大人物失势不幸，而卑贱下等之人兴起，法官、顾问、有学问与有智慧的人处境愁苦，尤其若龙尾在前十五度。

Also if Dragons-Head be in Capricorn it denotes joy and gladness to Rich, Noble and Great men, and their honour and preferment, but the dejection of the base and Ignoble; but if Dragons Tail be therein, it signifies Earthquakes and dammages especially in the southern parts.

还有，若龙头在摩羯，它表示富人、贵人与大人物喜乐欢欣，他们得荣誉与擢升，而卑贱的非贵族受贬抑；但若龙尾在其中，它表示地震与损害，尤其在南部。

And Dragons-Head in Aquaries signifies the death of religious men and such as study the Law, this to some few, but in one kinde or other they will all suffer detriment and vexation, many Sects and Shismes shall also arise: and if Dragons Tail be therin, Kings, Great-men and Land-Lords shall be very injurious and tyrannical over their subjects, servants and tennants, and shall afflict, tax and grinde theire faces beyond common humanity and honesty.

龙头在水瓶表示修道之人与研习法律之人的死亡，这是少数人，但他们全都会以这种或那种方式受损害烦扰，也会兴起许多教派与分裂：若龙尾在其中，国王、大人物与地主会对他们的臣民、仆人与佃户非常不公、暴虐，会折磨他们、课他们的税、压榨他们，超出寻常的人道与诚实。

Lastly Dragons-Head in Pisces shews the honour and dignity of Great and Noble men, and of every man according to his degree; and if Dragons-Tail be in Pisces, many Noble and rich men shall be subjugated and brought under the power of the militia or men in armes, and be removed out of their habitations for their faults, and much controversie and debates concerning Sects and the apperance of some new Heresie or Schism.

最后，龙头在双鱼显示大人物与贵人的荣誉与尊位，以及每个人依其等级的荣誉；若龙尾在双鱼，许多贵人与富人会被民兵或执兵器的人所制服，置于其权下，因他们的过错被迁离他们的居所，关于教派也有许多争议辩论，还有某个新的异端或分裂出现。

And so much for the significations of the Head and Tail of the Dragon and what we have to say in this second Section; Let us now proceed to the third and hasten to a conclusion.

关于龙头与龙尾的征象，以及我们在这第二节要说的，就这么多；现在让我们进到第三节，赶向结尾。
