卷四·第三节第二章　诸星、龙头龙尾与彗星的上下相压

CHAP. II. Of the Significations of the Planets, and Dragons Head and Tail, as also Blazing-Stars, when they are (in any Revolution) exalted one above another.

第二章　论在任何回归中诸行星、龙头与龙尾以及彗星一个压在另一个之上时的征象。

UNless I here remove a seeming obstruction or stumbling block, perhaps some mistakes or errours might arise much to the dammage and puzzeling of the younger Student; which is this; In the foregoing Chapter you have heard the significations of the Planets (especially the Superiour) when in any Revolution they are in the point of their proper exaltations; but in this Chapter when we speak of their being exalted one above the other, we mean as to their places in the Heavens at the time of the Sun his ingress into Aries; for he or she that is nearest to the Cuspe of the mid-heaven or tenth house, is the Planet most elevated or exalted, and shall have signification as followeth; yet note that it is not meant barely by the position of one above the other at that time, but when any two are in Conjunction or other Configuration and elevated the one above the other at that time, then I say shall their significations be as is here expressed.

除非我在这里先移除一个看似的障碍或绊脚石，否则或许会生出一些误会或错误，叫年轻学子大受损害、大为困惑；那就是：在上一章你已听过诸行星（尤其上位行星）在任何回归中正在它们自己得旺之点时的征象；但在本章我们说它们一个压在另一个之上时，我们指的是太阳进入白羊之时它们在天上的位置；因为离中天即第十宫宫头最近的他或她，就是升得最高、压在上面的行星，会有下面所说的征象；但要注意，这不是单单指那时一个位置在另一个之上，而是任何两颗星那时成会合或其他格局，而一个升在另一个之上时，我说，它们的征象才会如这里所述。

Contrary to the Ancients who begin in this matter with Venus, I shall as all along I have done begin with Saturn, and so give you their significations still in order as they are placed in the Heavens; as Saturn being in Conjunction, Square or Opposition with any Planet, the Dragons Head, and Tail, or Blazing Star, and exalted above them, we shall begin thus:

与从金星开始讲这件事的古人相反，我会像我一路所做的那样从土星开始，照它们在天上的次序依次给你它们的征象；如土星与任何行星、龙头、龙尾或彗星成会合、四分或对冲，而压在它们之上，我们就这样开始：

Saturn exalted above Jupiter, and then above Mars, and afterwards above the Sun and so forwards; and not as the Ancients have done who set down his significations as he is exalted above the Moon first, then above Iupiter, then Mars, then Dragons Head, Dragons Tail, Blazing-Star, and lastly Venus; omitting his significations when in any Configuration of Mercury or the Sun, and exalted above them; which defect as in this, so in the signification of the other Planets, I shall endeavour to supply; for in the significations of Venus they have omitted Iupiter and Dragons Head; and a Blazing-Star in the significations of Iupiter; the Sun in the significations of Mars; the Sun and Venus, of Mercury, the Sun also, of the Dragons Head, Iupiter and Mars, &c.

土星压在木星之上，然后在火星之上，之后在太阳之上，依此类推；而不像古人那样，他们记他的征象，先是压在月亮之上，然后在木星之上，然后火星、龙头、龙尾、彗星，最后是金星；漏掉了他与水星或太阳成任何格局而压在它们之上时的征象；这个缺漏，正如在这里，在其他行星的征象中，我也要尽力补上；因为在金星的征象中他们漏掉了木星与龙头；在木星的征象中漏掉了彗星；在火星的征象中漏掉了太阳；在水星的征象中漏掉了太阳与金星；在龙头的征象中也漏掉了太阳、木星与火星，等等。

If you find not my opinion and judgement herein sufficiently grounded on reason, you may follow what other you can find delivered unto you, which may be more pleasing and agreeable to thy fancy, or remain ignorant as the Ancients have left thee; but to our business:

若你觉得我在这上面的意见与判断没有充分以理性为根据，你可以去跟从你能找到的、交给你的别的说法，那或许更合你的心意，或者照古人留给你的那样一无所知；但言归正传：

Saturn in any Scheam at the time of any Revolution of the years of the World, Ecclipse, or great Conjunction, or at the time of the appearance of any Comet, or Blazing-Star, or at the time of any Opposition of the Superiours, or any other remarkable or considerable face of the Heavens, in Conjunction;

在世界任何年份的任何回归之时，或交食、或大会合之时，或任何彗星出现之时，或上位行星任何一次对冲之时，或天上任何其他显著重要的天象之时，任何盘中的土星，若与之会合、

Square, or Opposition, or any other Aspect of Jupiter, and at that time elevated above the Body of Jupiter, in the figure of the Heavens, Great and Noble men shall be slain; if he be exalted above Mars, he signifies good, and better success; if above the Sun when in any of the aforesaid Configurations with him, Let those Kings and such as are in high or chief Authority in those Regions subject to the sign the Sun then is in look for much trouble and sorrow, as also Treacheries and Treasons;

四分或对冲，或成木星的任何其他相位，那时在天象图中又升在木星的星体之上，大人物与贵人会被杀；若他压在火星之上，他表示吉，更为顺利；若在前述任何格局中压在太阳之上，太阳那时所在星座所辖地区的国王与掌最高或首要权柄的人，要预料许多麻烦与忧伤，也有背叛与谋逆；

If he be exalted above Venus, men shall delight in Pictures, Ornaments, and neatness, and addict themselves to their Trades and Occupations and delight themselves therein; above Mercury, they will delight in Arts and Sciences, especially such as are Ingenuous; above the Moon, men shall be clownish and ill-behaved; Above Dragons Head, Great and Noble-men shall have good success joy and gladness; but if above Dragons Tayl, this felicity shall happen to the Commons;

若他压在金星之上，人们会喜好图画、装饰与整洁，致力于他们的行业与职业，并以此自乐；在水星之上，他们会喜好技艺与学问，尤其精巧的那些；在月亮之上，人们会粗鲁无礼；在龙头之上，大人物与贵人会顺利、喜乐欢欣；但若在龙尾之上，这福分会落在庶民身上；

And if he be exalted above any Blazing Star, when he is in any Configuration therewith, men shall generally suffer poverty, penury and want anxiety and much misery.

若他与任何彗星成任何格局时压在它之上，人们会普遍遭受贫穷、匮乏与短缺、焦虑与许多苦难。

If Jupiter be exalted above Saturn when in any Configuration with him, he signifies much lamentation, weeping, howling, grief, trouble and sadness: Above Mars there shall happen much grief and trouble to Men, also dammage and loss if above the Sun: above Venus, Womens affairs and business shall succeed well and prosperously: and if above Mercury the Kings Officers shall be increased, and they shall have honor, profit, gain and praise: above the Moon, Noble and Great men shall increase and abound in honor, prosperity and success: Above the Dragons Head he denotes all good success and fortune: if above the Dragons Tayl, depopulations and destruction of houses and buildings; above a Blazing Star, it signifies that Noble men and such as are in great esteem shall be slain.

若木星与土星成任何格局时压在他之上，他表示许多哀叹、哭泣、号啕、悲痛、麻烦与愁苦：在火星之上，人们会有许多悲痛与麻烦，若在太阳之上，也有损害与损失：在金星之上，妇女的事务与事情会顺利兴旺：若在水星之上，国王的官员会增多，会得荣誉、利益、收益与称赞：在月亮之上，大人物与贵人会在荣誉、兴旺与顺利上增长丰足：在龙头之上，他表示一切顺利与好运：若在龙尾之上，人口减少，房屋与建筑毁坏；在彗星之上，它表示贵人与很受尊重的人会被杀。

When Mars is exalted above Saturn and in any configuration with him he doth not signifie much hurt or mischief: Above Jupiter, great men shall agree to take arms and kill one an other: Above the Sun, Kings and Rulers will go neer to be slain treacherously: Above Venus, men shall not care much for pleasures, neither will women soon conceive with Child: Above Mercury, quarrels, slaughters, and discords are signified: And above the Moon, Earth-quakes, and those very violent: Above Dragons Head he denotes good success, and prosperity, and honour to Great and Noble men:

当火星压在土星之上，与他成任何格局时，他不表示多少伤害或祸害：在木星之上，大人物会相约动武，互相残杀：在太阳之上，国王与统治者几乎会遭暗算被杀：在金星之上，人们不会很在乎享乐，妇女也不容易怀孕：在水星之上，表示争吵、杀戮与不和：在月亮之上，地震，而且很剧烈：在龙头之上，他表示大人物与贵人顺利、兴旺、有荣誉：

Above Dragons Tayl, there shall happen Combustions, troubles and inconveniencies to Men concerning Plants and Vegetables; And if he be exalted above a Blazing Star, there will happen many slaughters amongst men, and they shall delight to sway and bear Arms.

在龙尾之上，人们会有关于植物与草木的火灾、麻烦与不便；若他压在彗星之上，人间会发生许多杀戮，他们会喜欢掌权与执兵器。

The Sun is of that nature and quality, that by his beams any Planet is afflicted, wherefore when he is exalted so above any Planet, he is the significator of much evill and mischief, excepting Mercury strong and fortified.

太阳的本性与性质是这样：任何行星都会受他的光线侵害，所以当他这样压在任何行星之上时，他是许多凶与祸害的征象星，水星强而有力时除外。

Venus being exalted above Saturn, Men shall be perplexed with much grief and trouble: Above Jupiter, Great and Noble men shall be in a prosperous and happy condition, and all things shall succeed well with them: Above Mars, Women shall willingly use the Art of Generation, and soon Conceive, and Men shall be troubled in their stomachs through Surfeits and eating too much: Above the Sun, men shall be lavish and expensive: Above Mercury, men shall domineer and triumph one over another: Above the Moon, men shall have much joy and gladness:

金星压在土星之上，人们会受许多悲痛与麻烦所困：在木星之上，大人物与贵人会处在兴旺幸福的状况，一切事都会对他们顺利：在火星之上，妇女会乐意行生育之事，很快怀孕，男人会因暴食与吃得太多而胃里不适：在太阳之上，人们会挥霍浪费：在水星之上，人们会彼此凌驾、得意：在月亮之上，人们会有许多喜乐欢欣：

Above Dragons Head, joy and gladness to Great and Noble men, and all prosperity and happiness; and they shall delight themselves with young Maids and Virgins, and in Womens affairs; But if above Dragons Tayl, judge neither prosperity nor good; and if she be exalted above any Blazing Star. being in Configuration therewith, she signifies that there shall be a scarcity of waters, and that women shall not be in any great esteem, shall miscarry and come to many misfortunes and mischances.

在龙头之上，大人物与贵人喜乐欢欣，一切兴旺幸福；他们会以年轻姑娘与少女、以妇女之事自娱；但若在龙尾之上，就判断既无兴旺也无好处；若她与任何彗星成格局而压在它之上，她表示会缺水，妇女不会受到多少敬重，会流产，遭遇许多不幸与灾祸。

Also Mercury being exalted above Saturn, men shall go about to deceive, cheat, and betray one another: Above Jupiter, Kings, Great men, and those in power and Authority shall increase in health and Honor: Above Mars, fear and terror shal fall upon men: above ☉, Kings and Rulers shal be famous, and addict themselves to knowledge and learning: Above ♀, men shall addict themselves to sports, and the study of Necromancy, occult and secret Arts: Above the ☽ he signifies joy and gladness, and that men shal do wonderful and strange feats:

还有，水星压在土星之上，人们会设法彼此欺骗、诈骗、出卖：在木星之上，国王、大人物与有权柄的人会在健康与荣誉上增长：在火星之上，惊恐会落在人们身上：在太阳之上，国王与统治者会有名，会致力于知识与学问：在金星之上，人们会热衷于游戏，以及通灵术、神秘隐秘之术的研习：在月亮之上，他表示喜乐欢欣，人们会做出奇妙非常之事：

Above ☊, there shall be many manifest thefts and robberies: above ☋ it signifies men shall be scoffers and jeerers one of another: Above a Blazing Star, men shall slay and destroy those that are Masters of their Militia, and such as are in most eminent and chief command and best souldiers.

在龙头之上，会有许多公然的偷窃抢劫：在龙尾之上，它表示人们会彼此讥嘲戏弄：在彗星之上，人们会杀掉、毁掉那些统领他们军队的人，以及身居最显要首要指挥之位的人与最好的兵士。

The ☽ being in any Configuration of ♄, and exalted above him, signifies evill and mischief, and that men shall be ill-conditioned one towards another: Above ♃, rich and noble men shal encrease in health, wealth, and honor. Above ♂. Houses and buildings shall be destroyed by fire; also Earth-quakes and much blood-shed: Above ☉, mischief and much evill; and take this for a general rule, Let her be Significatrix of what you will, she ever denotes mischief and misfortune if she be under the Sun-beams: Above ♀, Noble and rich Women shall encrease in honour and esteem:

月亮与土星成任何格局而压在他之上，表示凶与祸害，人们会彼此相待不善：在木星之上，富人与贵人会在健康、财富与荣誉上增长。在火星之上，房屋与建筑会被火焚毁；也有地震与许多流血：在太阳之上，祸害与许多凶；把这当作一条普遍规则：不论让她作什么事的女征象星，若她在太阳光下，她总是表示祸害与不幸：在金星之上，贵妇与富有的妇人会在荣誉与敬重上增长：

Above ☿, men shall be wise, shall choose grave and judicious Counsellors, and shall make good Laws and wise Acts: Above ☊, she signifies dammage to Rivers and Fountains, Springs, and water-places: Above ☋, mortality and destruction to beasts: And lastly, above a Blazing Star, she signifies loss of substance.

在水星之上，人们会有智慧，会选择庄重明断的顾问，会制定良好的法律与明智的法令：在龙头之上，她表示河、泉、水源与水泽受损：在龙尾之上，牲畜死亡毁灭：最后，在彗星之上，她表示财物的损失。

Thus much of the significations of the Planets, when exalted one above the other, and above ☊, ☋, and Blazing Stars, it resteth therefore now to shew you the significations of them, being exalted over one another, and also over the Planets, and so conclude this Chapter; according then to the same order we have hitherto followed, we are to begin with ☊, and then of the other two.

关于诸行星一个压在另一个之上，以及压在龙头、龙尾与彗星之上时的征象，就讲这么多，所以现在剩下的是向你说明它们彼此相压，以及压在诸行星之上时的征象，然后结束本章；那么照我们一直遵循的同样次序，我们要从龙头开始，然后讲另外两者。

Now if ☊ be beheld of ♄, and ☊ at that time exalted above him, it stirreth up Wars, and men shall delight to bear Arms: Above ♃, Noble and rich Men shall increase in honour and greatness, and all business shall succeed well with them: Above ♂, Souldiers and such as carry Arms shall be prosperous, in esteem, and fortunate; It shall also go well with Kings, and the Grandees of the Earth when it is exalted above ☉:

那么若龙头受土星照看，而龙头那时压在他之上，它会激起战争，人们会喜好执兵器：在木星之上，贵人与富人会在荣誉与显赫上增长，一切事务都会对他们顺利：在火星之上，兵士与执兵器的人会兴旺、受尊重、幸运；当它压在太阳之上时，国王与世上的显要也会好：

And if it be above ♀, it signifies that Women and Virgins shall be joyfull and merry, and that every thing shall succeed well with them in a generall way: Above ☿, men shall delight and addict themselves to laying of foundations for Palaces Royall, Castles, Cities, Towns, and Villages: Above the ☽, men shall have loss and detriment in their substance and goods: Above ☋ in this nature it cannot be exalted, (because (as you have heard in the 17. Chapter of the 2.

若它在金星之上，它表示妇女与少女会喜乐快活，一切事一般都会对她们顺利：在水星之上，人们会喜好、致力于为王宫、城堡、城市、市镇与村庄奠基：在月亮之上，人们会在财物与货物上有损失损害：在龙尾之上，它不能以这种方式压在其上，（因为（如你在本书第二

Treatise of this Volume) they are but Nodes, and can behold no Planet, because they have no rayes nor beams, but may be beheld by any Planet) and therefore in this, ☋ is omitted; again if Dragons Head be exalted above a Blazing Star, it signifies tempestuous stormy windes and tempests, and those very often.

部第十七章所听到的）它们只是交点，不能照看任何行星，因为它们没有光线，却可以被任何行星照看）所以在这一点上，龙尾略去；再者，若龙头压在彗星之上，它表示狂暴的风暴与暴风雨，而且很频繁。

Dragons Tayl exalted above ♄, signifies the death and destruction of old people, and Monks, and Religious men: Above ♃, long life and joy: Above ♂, sadness and vexation: above ☉, much evill and want of charity: Above ♀, dammage to Women, especially to young Maids and Virgins: Above ☿, evil to learned and wise men: above the ☉, destruction to rich men and loss of substance: Above a Blazing Star, It denotes damage in the affairs generall of women.

Now lastly, touching Blazing Stars, and what may be predicted by their being exalted above the Planets, ☊ and ☋; A Blazing Star then being in Configuration of ♄, and exalted above him, signifies many and great infirmities: Above ♃, men shall kill and murther their Nobles, and Great men, and such as are in esteem: Above ♂, men shall usually delight to bear Arms, and there shall happen many great wars and slaughters: If above ☉, men shall quarrell one with another, be treacherous and given to Treasons: Above ♀, a deminution and drying up of waters:

现在最后，关于彗星，以及从它们压在诸行星、龙头与龙尾之上可以预言什么；那么彗星与土星成格局而压在他之上，表示许多大病：在木星之上，人们会杀害、谋害他们的贵人、大人物与受尊重的人：在火星之上，人们通常会喜好执兵器，会发生许多大战与杀戮：若在太阳之上，人们会彼此争吵，背信，倾向谋逆：在金星之上，水减少干涸：

Above ☿, damage and destruction to young men: Above ☽, loss and damage to men in generall in their substance: Above ☊, Noble men shall be slain, and such as are in esteem: Above ☋, there shall happen loss and destruction to fruits of the Earth and Trees.

在水星之上，青年受损毁：在月亮之上，人们一般在财物上有损失损害：在龙头之上，贵人与受尊重的人会被杀：在龙尾之上，地上与树上的果实会有损失毁坏。
