卷四·第三节第四至五章　一年之凶与传光，及一年的健康疾病

CHAP. IV. Teaching how to judge of the evil of any year, the nature thereof, and when the year is most likely to be both turbulent, obnoxious, and unfortunate, also what is portended in any Revolution when one Planet transfers his light and nature to another.

第四章　教人判断任何一年的凶、其性质，以及这一年何时最可能动荡、有害而不幸；也讲在任何回归中，一颗行星把他的光与本性传递给另一颗时所预示的。

EVer when you would know what grievous and heavy accidents and evils are to happen, or are threatned to any place, look to the Position of Saturn and Mars, for from them are you to require judgment touching this matter, for if you find them in the higher circle, viz. in the middle thereof towards the North, and they have then Septentrional latitude, and be above the earth, thou shalt judge there will grievous and horrible actions happen in that Revolution, or before the Sun enter again the first point of Aries, in and to those parts under the Sign and Triplicity wherein they are; also look how much they are elevated above the earth, (especially Saturn) and they shall signifie so much the more mischief and trouble, and the more certain will your judgment be; also when they are in the superiour part of the Circle, they denote a hard and scarse year, both for provisions, fruits of the Earth, and all things else.

每当你想知道有什么沉重严酷的事故与凶祸将要发生、或威胁任何地方，就看土星与火星的位置，因为关于这件事你要从它们求取判断；因为若你发现它们在较高的圆上，即在其中部而偏向北方，那时又有北纬，又在地平之上，你就要判断，在那次回归中，或在太阳再次进入白羊第一点之前，会有沉重可怕的事发生在它们所在星座与三方所辖的那些地方；还要看它们在地平之上升高多少（尤其土星），升得越高，就表示越多的祸害与麻烦，你的判断也越确定；还有，当它们在圆的上部时，表示艰难匮乏的一年，在粮食、地上的果实以及其他一切方面都是如此。

And if one be in a Square of the other, it will be the worse in every particular, also Infections to and in all kind of living creatures, tribulations and troubles, and that of continuance and durability, and so much the rather if Saturn be then in Virgo, and Mars in Gemini, and the Revolution Nocturnal, and Mars applying or translating his light and nature to Saturn, and he receive him and either, both or one of them Retrograde: and Saturn shall be then most mischievous, In so much that Jupiter shall not be of sufficient efficacy to alter it, unless Saturn or Mars be in Cancer in a Sextile or Trine of Jupiter, and he strong and well dignified at that time, and then he shall break his malice with whom he is aspected, and diminish it or wholly take it away, which you may judge from the strength of your Significators.

若一颗在另一颗的四分，各方面都会更坏，还有一切种类的生物都会遭传染，有苦难与麻烦，而且持久不散；若那时土星在处女、火星在双子，回归又是夜间的，火星向土星趋近或把他的光与本性传递给他，土星又接纳他，二者之一或两者逆行，就更是如此：那时土星会最为凶恶，以致木星没有足够的效力改变它，除非土星或火星在巨蟹，与木星成六分或三分，而木星那时强而尊贵良好，那时他就会挫败与他成相位那颗星的恶意，减轻它或完全消除它，这你可以从你的征象星的力量来判断。

The affairs also of the King or Grandees of the Nation where your Revolution is, and their condition shall be bad and suffer detriment, and much trouble and difficulty there shall be in or about them, and they shall require aid and assistance from the common people, Religion shall be slighted and impiety and wickedness shall increase amongst men, and no mercy or pity shall be found amongst them, and this shall continue till either Saturn or Mars transite the cusp of the tenth House at time of the Revolution, or shall then begin and continue, at least till Mars have made one Revolution through the twelve Signs of the Zodiack.

你作回归之国的君王或权贵，其事务与境况也会不好、受损，在他们身上或周围会有许多麻烦与困难，他们会需要向平民求援求助；宗教会受轻慢，人间的不虔与邪恶会增加，人们中间找不到慈悲与怜悯；这会持续到土星或火星经过回归之时第十宫的宫头为止，或者那时开始并持续，至少要到火星绕黄道十二星座运行一周为止。

But if then Saturn be in Virgo and Mars Aspect him out of Gemini (as hath been said) and the Moon also translate her light to Saturn and she in Sagittarie, there shall be misery upon misery, the mischief of mischiefs, the trouble of troubles, the tribulation of tribulations, the pestilence of pestilencies, and the misfortune of misfortunes, and all kind of vexations, troubles and torments, also it signifies the destruction of Kingdoms, and translation of one Kingdome into the power and under the subjection of another.

但若那时土星在处女，火星从双子照他（如前所说），月亮又在射手，把她的光传递给土星，就会有苦上加苦，祸中之祸，难中之难，患中之患，疫中之疫，不幸中的不幸，以及种种烦恼、麻烦与折磨；它还表示王国的毁灭，一个王国转入另一个王国的权力之下、受其辖制。

Moreover if the Moon when she translates her light and nature to Saturn, either by Conjunction, Square or Opposition, and the Lord of the Sign wherein she is when there is a Partil Conjunction, Square or Opposition betwixt them, be then impedited, unfortunate, weak or afflicted, there shall be many diversities of mischiefs during the time of that Revolution; and if then the Moon were eclipsed at the Preventional, or to be eclipsed at the Postventional full Moon immediately going before or comming after any such Configuration, the mischiefs and troubles threatned shall continue so many moneths as the Moon is or shall be ecclipsed houres, reckoning from the minute she first begins to be ecclipsed till the Punctum wherein she is again free.

再者，若月亮以会合、四分或对冲把她的光与本性传递给土星时，在它们之间成精确的会合、四分或对冲之际，她所在星座的主星那时受阻、不吉、虚弱或受害，那次回归期间就会有许多种类的祸害；若那时月亮在紧接这样一个格局之前的那次望已经交食，或在紧接其后的那次望将要交食，所威胁的祸害与麻烦就会持续若干个月，月数等于月亮被食的小时数，从她开始被食的那一分钟算起，到她重新复圆的那一刻为止。

But if Part of Fortune be Impedited, and its dispositor when the Moon is so in Conjunction or aspect partil of Saturn, the evill thereby signified or threatned shall be increased; have regard also to the Sun how he is placed, dignified and aspected by the Malevolent Planet, or by what Aspect he beholds him, (as you have heard of the Moon) and the Lord of the Sign in which he is at the time of the Partil Conjunction or Aspect, and make Part of Fortune and its Dispositor participate in signification therewith, and judge accordingly mutatis mutandis, as you have heard (I say) of the Moon; and if the Sun was eclipsed, or to be eclipsed at the Preventional or Postventional Conjunction of the Luminaries or change of the Moon (to speak plainly) the evill then threatned shall continue so many years as the Sun is at that time eclipsed houres.

但若月亮这样与土星会合或成精确相位时，福点及其定位星受阻，由此所表示或威胁的凶就会增加；还要留意太阳，看他的位置、尊贵怎样，凶星怎样照他，或他以什么相位照凶星（如你听过月亮的那样），以及在精确会合或相位之时他所在星座的主星，让福点及其定位星一同参与征象，相应地判断，作必要的变通，如你（我说）听过月亮的那样；若太阳在日月前一次或后一次的会合（说白了就是新月）已经交食或将要交食，那时所威胁的凶会持续若干年，年数等于太阳那时被食的小时数。

Also when any Planets behold one another, and be in any Reception, look in what place in the figure they project their rays or beams; for those places subject to the sign wherein they cast their rayes, shall suffer such things as are by those Planets signified, whether good or bad, more then any other place.

还有，当任何行星互相照看、又有任何接纳时，看它们把光线投射到盘中哪个位置；因为隶属于它们投射光线所在星座的那些地方，会比任何其他地方更多地遭受那些行星所表示的事，无论好坏。

And if one planet transfer his light, Nature and Vertue to another, you are diligently to weigh their natures and significations, and judge accordingly as you have been before sufficiently shown; as if the Significator of the King transfer his light and Nature to Saturn, and he also well disposed, such people and religious orders and things which you have heard elsewhere signified by Saturn, shall be bettered, and receive good from the bounty or liberality of the King or Superiours;

若一颗行星把他的光、本性与德能传递给另一颗，你要勤勉地衡量它们的本性与征象，照先前已充分向你说明的那样判断；比如若国王的征象星把他的光与本性传递给土星，而土星也配置良好，那么你在别处听过由土星所表示的那类人民、修会与事物，会得到改善，从国王或上级的恩赐或慷慨中得到好处；

If to Jupiter, Nobles, Judges, and such as converse in the Law, and are signified by him, shall receive honour, liberty, and much good from the Kings hand, &c. And so judge if any other Planet and if any other Significator transfer his light to any, remember the Nature of your Significator; transfering his light, and the Natural and Accidental signification of the Planet to whom it is transferred, and judge according thereunto and you are right, and will soon be able to judge of any matter mutatis mutandis, varying your rules according to Art.

若传给木星，贵族、法官以及从事法律、由木星所表示的人，会从国王手中得到荣誉、自由与许多好处，等等。若别的行星、别的征象星把光传给任何一颗，也照此判断：记住你那颗传光的征象星的本性，以及接受传光的那颗行星本然与偶然的征象，据此判断，你就对了，很快就能判断任何事，作必要的变通，依技艺改变你的规则。

And thus far have I in a manner reiterated rules and words for thy through understanding and instruction in such matters as have been delivered in a more short and compendious manner before, and indeed so much the rather, because that though what was at the beginning of this Discourse set down, was sufficient to and for any one that is any thing entred into this Art, yet would it perhaps have seemed somewhat difficult to those who are as yet altogether unseen therein, and therefore I hope this fault will be by the Judicious deemed venial; Wherefore let us now proceed.

至此我在某种程度上重述了一些规则与话语，好让你在这类事上透彻理解、得到教导，这些事前面已用较简短扼要的方式交代过；我这样做更是因为，虽然本论开头所写的，对任何稍入此道的人已经足够，但对完全没有见识的人，或许仍显得有些难；所以我希望有识之士会认为这个毛病情有可原；那么现在让我们继续。

CHAP. V. Shewing how to judge of health or sickness in any year.

第五章　说明怎样判断任何一年的健康或疾病。

THus then, if thou wouldst be expert in this manner of judgement, have respect to the Cusp of the Ascendent of the figure of the heavens at the time of your Revolution, and the Ascendent of the figures at the time of the Conjunction or preventional Conjunction of the Luminaries before the Sun his ingress into Aries; and then if these two Ascendents and the Moon be free from Misfortune, and the Lord of the place of the Conjunction also free, and then applying to a Fortune, as also the Luminaries beholding him, especially that of the time, viz the Sun, if it be by day, the Moon, if by night; then it signifies that that year shall be free from infirmities general, and diseases, and shall be healthful; but if the Lords of these two Ascendents, and the Moon, and Lord of the place of the Conjunction, and prevention, be all or the major part of them unfortunate, it denotes general infirmites and diseases, and no healthful year; and that according to the power of the infortunate Planets, their nature and the nature of the signs and places they are in; what diseases are appropriated to both the Planets and Signs; I have fully delivered unto you in the second Treatise of this Volumn, entituled, An Introduction to the judgement of the STARS.

那么，若你想精通这种判断，就要留意你回归之时天盘的上升宫头，以及太阳进入白羊之前日月会合或望之时那张盘的上升；若这两个上升与月亮都免于不幸，会合之位的主星也免于不幸，又正向一颗吉星趋近，两光也照看他，尤其是当时的那个光，即白天是太阳，夜里是月亮；那就表示这一年免于普遍的病患与疾病，是健康的一年；但若这两个上升的主星、月亮、会合与望之位的主星全部或大部分不吉，就表示普遍的病患与疾病，不是健康的一年；而这是依不吉行星的力量、它们的本性、它们所在星座与位置的本性而定；哪些疾病归于各行星与各星座，我已在本书第二部、题为《星辰判断入门》的论述中充分交给你了。

Also if the Lords of those two Ascendents, or one of them being so unfortunated, apply to the Lord of the Eighth House, there shall be many general infirmities and also death; but if otherwise, there shall be many infirmities and general diseases, but not mortality, and if death, it will not be great.

还有，若那两个上升的主星，或其中一个这样不吉，向第八宫主星趋近，就会有许多普遍的病患，也有死亡；若不是这样，就会有许多病患与普遍的疾病，但没有大量死亡，即使有死亡也不会多。

Moreover, if the strongest Planet of these Significators apply to the Lord of the Eighth, there shall be many sudden deaths, without any great or tedious sicknesses; also if to the Lord of the sixth, there shall be many infirmities and general diseases, and those of long continuance: And if Mars be the afflicting Planet, he shall signifie hot and dry diseases, especially if he be in a fiëry sign, and swift of motion: and if it be Saturn, he shall cause lingring Agues, Coughs, Consumptions and Saturnian tedious diseases, especially if he be in a cold and dry sign, and slow in motion.

再者，若这些征象星中最强的一颗向第八宫主星趋近，就会有许多猝死，没有什么重病或久病；若向第六宫主星趋近，就会有许多病患与普遍的疾病，而且持续很久：若火星是施害之星，他表示热而干的疾病，尤其若他在火象星座、行速快；若是土星，他会引起缠绵的寒热病、咳嗽、消耗病以及土星性的缠绵之疾，尤其若他在冷而干的星座、行速慢。
