卷四·第三节第六章　论战争与和平

CHAP. VI. Of Wars or Peace.

第六章　论战争或和平。

HItherto we have proceeded in a plain and easie manner of Instruction, for it is my most earnest desire that knowledge may flow as a stream amongst all judicious souls, especially those of this my native Nation of England; and therefore I shall here again desire the more quick and nimble apprehensions to pardon both my largeness and plainness, since I write to those that are altogether to seek in these matters.

到这里我们一直以平易浅显的方式来教导，因为我最恳切的愿望，是让知识像一条溪流在一切明理的灵魂之间流淌，尤其在我的祖国英格兰的人们之间；所以我在此再次请求那些领悟较快较敏的人，原谅我的冗长与浅白，因为我是写给那些对这些事全然无从着手的人。

Wherefore then know, that years of War, Dissention, Quarrels and Bloodshed, are to be judged from the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, as also from their Square and Opposition, also from the Ascendent and Angles of the Revolution of the year; for if these Superior Planets be either in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of each other, or applying to each other by any of these Configurations, wars are to be feared, and that they shall then begin when they are in Partil Conjunction or Aspect, if they are in Angles, or else they shall begin when Jupiter enters his exaltation or one of his houses, or any of the Angles of the Figure at time of the Revolution; and judge that party to have Victory that is signified by the Planet most elevated in his excentrick; for if Jupiter be most elevated, and be exalted above Saturn, they shall overcome who make insurrection or begin the strife.

那么就要知道，战争、纷争、争吵与流血的年份，要从土星与木星的会合，以及它们的四分与对冲来判断，也要从年度回归的上升与诸角来判断；因为若这两颗上位行星彼此会合、四分或对冲，或者正以这些格局中的任何一种互相趋近，就要担心有战争，而且若它们在角宫，战争就会在它们成精确会合或相位时开始，否则会在木星进入他的旺或他的一个庙，或进入回归之时盘中的任何一个角时开始；判断胜利属于在其偏心圆上升得最高的那颗行星所表示的一方；因为若木星升得最高，又在土星之上而高出于他，那些起事或挑起争端的人就会得胜。

Also if Mars be in any of the Angles at time of the Revolution, whichsoever it be, he excites and stirs up wars according to his strength and power; for if he be strong and well dignified, it will be the more certain, also the strife and war will be the more invective and grievous; in like manner if he be in a Square of Saturn or Jupiter, because these are the Superior Planets; for take this for an approved Aphorism, that when any of the Superiors, viz.

还有，若在回归之时火星在任何一个角，不论哪一个，他都会依自己的力量与权能激起、挑动战争；因为若他强而尊贵良好，就更加确定，争斗与战争也会更加激烈沉重；同样，若他在土星或木星的四分，也是如此，因为它们是上位行星；因为你要把这当作一条经过验证的警句：当任何一颗上位行星，即

Saturn, Jupiter or Mars (who are thus termed because they are above the Sun) are in Conjunction, or any Malevolent Configuration one of another, there happens great and manifest Alterations in this Elementary world, according to their strength and natural and accidental Significations.

土星、木星或火星（它们之所以这样称呼，是因为它们在太阳之上）彼此会合，或成任何凶恶的格局时，这元素构成的世界就会依它们的力量以及本然与偶然的征象，发生重大而明显的变化。

If thou wouldst know where the war shall be, when in any Revolution or other face of heaven thou seest it threatned, have regard unto the sign in which Mars is located, also the sign wherein he aspecteth either Saturn or Jupiter by Square or Opposition; also in what sign and part of heaven, Part of War, Blood-shed, or Contention falleth, and say that in those parts signified by those signs, the War, Dissention, Bloodshed and Strife will be, and so accordingly judge, or by the major part.

若你想知道战争会在哪里，当你在任何回归或天象中看见它的威胁时，就要留意火星所在的星座，也看他以四分或对冲照看土星或木星时所在的星座；还看战争点、流血点或争斗点落在什么星座、天上哪一部分；就说战争、纷争、流血与争斗会在这些星座所表示的那些地方，并照此判断，或依其中占多数的来判断。

How to take Part of War. as also Part of Peace, and all other parts requisite to be known, I shall not here mention; the exact knowledge whereof would require a volumn by themselves, which (God enabling me and granting me life and health) I shall endeavor to deliver to the world, if I finde the inclinations of men worthy of such blessings, and therein also I shall endeavor to give them some grounds and reasons why the Antients have invented such variety of parts, and why they are of such signification.

怎样求战争点，以及和平点，和其他一切需要知道的点，我在此不提；要确切知道这些，需要单独一卷书，那卷书（若神给我能力、赐我寿命与健康）我会尽力献给世人，如果我发现人们的心意配得上这样的恩惠；在那里我也会尽力说明古人为什么发明了这么多种点，它们为什么有这样的征象。

See also if any of the Infortunes, or all, behold the house of Mars or Part of War, with a Square or Opposition, or be therein, or behold the sign by which the Nation, Town or City is signified for which your Figure is set, or the Significator of the King or Nobles of that Nation, Kingdom or People with a Square or Opposition; or be corporally joyned thereunto; it signifies, that if the King or that People have Wars with any, they shall be beaten and worsted; or at least, possessed with much grief, sadness, trouble, sorrow and anxiety: also if the Planet that is their Significator be combust, it signifieth the same; and if Retrograde, they shall fly from before their enemies, and grow weaker and weaker, shall be indigent and cast down; judge also the same, although he were at first well placed, and after a while becomes thus afflicted.

也要看是否有任何一颗凶星，或所有凶星，以四分或对冲照看火星之庙或战争点，或就在其中，或照看你为之起盘的那个国家、市镇或城市所属的星座，或以四分或对冲照看那国家、王国或人民的国王或贵族的征象星，或与之以星体相合；这表示若那位国王或那国人民与任何人交战，他们会被打败、吃亏；或者至少满怀忧伤、悲哀、麻烦、愁苦与焦虑：还有，若作他们征象星的那颗行星焦伤，也表示同样的事；若逆行，他们会在敌人面前逃跑，越来越弱，陷入贫乏、颓丧；即使他起初位置良好、过一阵子才这样受害，也照同样判断。

Again, if in any Revolution of the year Mars be joyned to Part of War, especially in fiëry signs, it denotes Wars and Quarrels; and if Part of War be strong and free from affliction, they shall overcome that begin and foment the dissention and quarrel; but if it be weak judge the contrary; you may also judge of the time when the War will happen, from the distance of Saturn and Mars, if their Conjunction or Aspect be a forerunner thereof, or of any other Significators, by seeing how many degrees they want of the Partil Conjunction or Aspect, and giving a moneth, day or week to every degree, according as they are in signs fixed, moveable or common, as you have been taught before; or else you may have regard to the Planet denoting War, who if he be Direct, it will happen when he becomes Retrograde; if he be Retrograde, say it will be when he becomes Direct, or when his beams are joyned in Configuration or Conjunction of the Significator of the King; and if he behold the Significator of the people, he signifieth much thieving, pillaging and robbing, especially if the Malevolent Planet be in an Angle; but if he be not in an Angle, but only in a succedent or cadent, the evil will not be general, but only in such Towns, Cities and places under the sign wherein he is, unless his beams be mixed in Aspect or Conjunction with the beams of the Lord of the Ascendent; for unless he have rule and Dominion in the Revolution, he shall not then signifie generally evill.

再者，若在任何年度回归中火星与战争点相合，尤其在火象星座，就表示战争与争吵；若战争点强而免于受害，那些挑起并煽动纷争与争吵的人会得胜；但若它弱，就判断相反；你也可以从土星与火星的距离判断战争何时发生，若它们的会合或相位是战争的先兆的话，或从任何其他征象星判断，看它们离精确会合或相位还差几度，依它们在固定、启动或双体星座，每度给一个月、一日或一周，如你先前所学；或者你可以看表示战争的那颗行星，他若顺行，战争会在他变为逆行时发生；他若逆行，就说会在他变为顺行时，或在他的光线与国王的征象星成格局或会合时；他若照看人民的征象星，就表示许多偷窃、劫掠与抢夺，尤其若那颗凶星在角宫；但若他不在角宫，只在续宫或果宫，凶就不会是普遍的，只在他所在星座之下的那些市镇、城市与地方，除非他的光线与上升主星的光线在相位或会合中相混；因为除非他在回归中有主管与主宰之权，那时他就不会表示普遍的凶。

Also if Mars be in any of the Angles, and the Division apply to any term of his, and the Revolution apply to the place where Mars was, in the last Conjunction of the Planets preceding, or to the place in which Mars was, in any great Conjunction, it signifieth in that year fighting and quarrelling in those places and Regions subject to the sign wherein Mars was, and the application is;

还有，若火星在任何一个角，而推限趋近他的任何一个界，回归又趋近火星在前一次行星会合中所在之处，或在任何一次大会合中火星所在之处，就表示那一年在火星所在、趋近所在的星座所辖的那些地方与地区，有争斗与争吵；

Dissentions and quarrels also are threatned when Mars is in Square or Opposition of Saturn, and Mars received; but if Mars be not received, neither Saturn, it signifieth but little quarrelling; also if in any Revolution he be under the Sun beams, he denotes Wars, especially if in a moveable sign, but in a common sign he promiseth not much; and if Mars be in Gemini, in the Tenth House, the King shall be very lavish and spend his treasure;

当火星在土星的四分或对冲而火星受接纳时，也威胁有纷争与争吵；但若火星不受接纳，土星也不受接纳，就表示争吵不多；还有，若在任何回归中他在太阳光下，就表示战争，尤其若在启动星座，但在双体星座就预示不多；若火星在双子、在第十宫，国王会很挥霍，耗费他的财库；

Note also that if the Lord of the Fourth be in the Ninth House of Heaven, it signifies the prisons and goals shall be set open, and many Captives and Prisoners shall escape.

还要注意，若第四宫主星在天上第九宫，就表示监狱牢房会被打开，许多俘虏与囚犯会逃脱。

Moreover, thou art to remember, that in what ever Revolution of the World thou lookest, Wars are still to be known and judged from Mars, who is the occasioner of all dissentions, quarrels, wars, blood-shed and commotions in the Elementary world generally; but if thou wouldst know the Immediate causes and fomenters thereof, look from what Planet Mars last separated before the Sun his ingress into the first point of Aries; for although they be Fortunes, yet shall they and such as are by them signified be the occasioners thereof; as, we shall admit Mars last separated from Conjunction or Aspect of Jupiter, from whence we shall judge that Noble men, rich and great in power, authority and esteem, shall be the fomenters of the War threatned; or Bishops, Pope, Cardinals, Church-men and Religious people, they being all Signified by him;

再者，你要记住，无论你看世界的哪一次回归，战争始终要从火星来认识、判断，他一般是这元素世界一切纷争、争吵、战争、流血与骚乱的起因；但若你想知道其直接的起因与煽动者，就看太阳进入白羊第一点之前火星最后离开的是哪颗行星；因为即使它们是吉星，它们以及由它们所表示的人也会是起因；比如，我们假定火星最后离开木星的会合或相位，我们由此就判断，富有而大有权势、权威与声望的贵族，会是所威胁的战争的煽动者；或者主教、教皇、枢机主教、教士与虔信之人，因为他们都由木星表示；

In like manner if it be Venus, Saturn, the Sun, the Moon or Mercury, you have no more to doe then judge in the like manner according to their several Significations which you are sufficiently taught in the second Book of this Volume.

同样，若是金星、土星、太阳、月亮或水星，你只需照它们各自的征象同样判断，那些征象你已在本书第二卷中充分学过。

Now when thou hast found in any Revolution, that wars are threatned, have regard unto the Planet signifying it; for if he be direct and well dignified, the war shall not continue or last long, but shall be broken by the King of that Region for which your Revolution is, for it signifieth a cessation of arms, and that there shall be peace; see also how he is aspected and by what Planets, and by how many; for many Planets beholding him, (especially being then essentially strong) it signifies the people shall be in good condition, shall be strong and able to defend themselves, and offend their enemies, shall overcome them and have assistance from others, according to the nature of the Planets so aspecting him.

那么当你在任何回归中发现有战争的威胁时，就留意表示它的那颗行星；因为若他顺行而尊贵良好，战争就不会持续或延续很久，而会被你作回归的那个地区的国王打破，因为它表示停战，会有和平；也要看他怎样受相位，受哪些行星、多少行星照看；因为许多行星照看他（尤其那时它们必然地强），表示人民会境况良好，会强大，能自卫，又能打击敌人，会胜过他们，并依照看他的那些行星的本性，得到别人的援助。

But if he be retrograde, they shall be beaten, shall run away and be dejected; and if stationary to Direction, they shall be strong and powerful in war; but if stationary to Retrogradation, at the beginning of the war they shall be strong, but it shall go hard with them in the end.

但若他逆行，他们会被打败、逃走、颓丧；若他在留而将转顺行，他们在战争中会强大有力；但若他在留而将转逆行，战争开始时他们会强，但到最后会很艰难。

In like manner have regard to the Significator of their enemies, or those that begin and first foment strife, and judge of their condition mutatis mutandis, as you have of these; for if their Significator be direct there is a probability of peace, and that to proceed from their desire and willingness, or if there be war that they shall overcome; but if thou wouldst know by what means they shall thus become victorious, if thou findest their Significator strong essentially, and not beheld by any other Planet, say by their own strength and policy; but if it be aspected and assisted by the benevolent rayes of other Planets, their Significator essentially not being very strong, say by the help of such as are signified by those Planets so assisting and beholding their Significator shall they become victorious; as if it be Saturn, say by the help of some King; if the Sun, by some Prince or Noble man (for the Sun signifieth rather petty Princes then Saturn) if Mars, by souldiers and warlike men;

同样，要留意他们敌人的征象星，即那些开始并首先煽动争端的人，作必要的变通，像判断这一方一样判断他们的境况；因为若他们的征象星顺行，就有和平的可能，而且出于他们自己的愿望与意愿，或者若有战争，他们会得胜；但若你想知道他们凭什么方法这样获胜，若你发现他们的征象星必然地强，又不受任何其他行星照看，就说凭他们自己的力量与谋略；但若他们的征象星必然上不很强，却受其他行星的吉利光线照看相助，就说他们会靠那些照看、相助其征象星的行星所表示的人的帮助而获胜；比如若是土星，就说靠某位国王的帮助；若是太阳，靠某位君主或贵族（因为与土星相比，太阳表示的多是小邦的君主）；若是火星，靠兵士与好战之人；

If Jupiter, by noble, wise and discreet grave men; If Mercury, by scholars, and learned, witty, politick men; If Venus, by riches or by some noble spirited women; If Luna by Merchants, Sea men or the common people of any place; but if thou wouldst particularly know the place, or from what Countrey, Nation, or Province, it is no more then thus, look to the Sign wherein your adjuvant Planets, or Planet is, and judge according to discretion, that they will be such as are of the Nation or place thereby signified, remembring that antient Aphorism àte & àscientia, for you must not judge impossibilities, or what is contrary or repugnant to reason.

若是木星，靠高贵、明智、审慎、庄重的人；若是水星，靠学者，有学问、机敏、善谋的人；若是金星，靠财富或某位高尚的女子；若是月亮，靠商人、水手或任何地方的平民；但若你想具体知道是哪个地方，或从哪个国家、民族或省份来，只需这样：看你那些相助的行星或那颗相助的行星在什么星座，依斟酌判断他们是由那星座所表示的那个民族或地方的人，记住那句古老的警句「出于你，也出于学问」，因为你不可判断不可能的事，或违背、抵触理性的事。

Again, If thou wouldst know by what Nation or men the war threatned is to be begun or acted, look to which part Mars seems to be assistant, remembring that the ascendent, the Lord thereof, and Planet from whom Mars last separated are Significators of the Kingdom, People or Nation wherein your Revolution is; the seventh House, the Lord thereof and the Planet Mars next applies unto, are Significators of their enemies: and that he is more assistant to that party with whose Significator he is applying or in Configuration, or that which he doth more lovingly behold; for on whose side soever you finde Mars, say that that party shall be the beginners or fomenters of the war if he be direct, and that they shall be valiant and stout, and turn their backs upon no enemy whatsoever; but if he be retrograde it shall be occasioned by divers men who aim at the honour and applause of such actions as they are never able to perform or are worthy of the name, yet attributing that unto themselves which was acted and accomplished by others, shall boast of great and high matters, but shall perform little or nothing, and lay the burthen of the war on other mens shoulders, and shall themselves only thieve, pillage and plunder, and cut by the high ways; and if Mars be stationary (as abovesaid) the war shall be the more greivous and hot, and the men more strong and couragious.

再者，若你想知道所威胁的战争将由哪个民族或哪些人开始或进行，就看火星似乎在帮助哪一方，记住上升、上升主星，以及火星最后离开的那颗行星，是你作回归的那个王国、人民或民族的征象星；第七宫、第七宫主星，以及火星接下来趋近的那颗行星，是他们敌人的征象星：火星更帮助他正趋近或成格局的那颗征象星所属的一方，或他更友善地照看的那一方；因为无论你发现火星在哪一方，就说若他顺行，那一方会是战争的开始者或煽动者，他们会勇猛刚强，对任何敌人都不会转身逃走；但若他逆行，战争会由形形色色的人引起，这些人追求那些他们永远做不到、也配不上其名的作为的荣誉与喝彩，却把别人所做成的归于自己，夸说大而高的事，却做得很少或什么也不做，把战争的重担压在别人肩上，自己只是偷窃、劫掠、抢夺，在大路上行劫；若火星在留（如上所说），战争会更加惨烈激烈，人也更加强壮勇敢。

Have regard also unto Saturn, who stirs up most deadly fewds and heart-burnings above any of the other Planets, when he is Significator of dissentions and troubles, and that to those to whose side he takes: also grievous troubles and miseries unto those Cities and Towns subject unto the sign wherein he is, according to the signification of the house of Heaven he is in, as if in the second, they shall be damnified in their estates, substance and riches; in the third, in their small journeys, brethren and kindred, and so (as you have been taught above) you may run over the signification of every house of Heaven; if he be retrograde, he shall signifie the same mischiefs which you have heard of Mars, but they shall be more grievous and intolerable.

也要留意土星，当他是纷争与麻烦的征象星时，他比其他任何行星都更能激起最致命的世仇与积怨，而且是对他所站的那一方；他也依他所在天宫的征象，给他所在星座所辖的城市与市镇带来沉重的麻烦与苦难，比如若在第二宫，他们会在产业、家财与财富上受损；在第三宫，在短途旅行、兄弟与亲族上受损；如此（照上面所教的）你可以把每一个天宫的征象都过一遍；若他逆行，他会表示你听过火星的那些同样的祸害，但会更沉重、更难以忍受。

Know also that if the Planet denoting war be in good aspect and reception of the Lord of the Year, he shall denote good during that Revolution, viz. peace and no war; If with the Lord of the half Year or quarter, no mischief by war shall happen that half year or quarter;

也要知道，若表示战争的那颗行星与年主有良好的相位与接纳，他在那次回归期间就会表示好，即和平而无战争；若与半年主或季主如此，那半年或那一季就不会有战争的祸害；

In like manner, if he be thus in Configuration with the Lord of the moneth and day, such mischief shall not happen therein: and if this reception by either body or aspect, be in the first seven degrees of any sign, the good shall be chiefly at the beginning of the year and during the first quarter; If it be between the seventh and fifteenth degree, during the first half year, If betwixt the fifteenth and one and twentieth, in the third quarter; If between that and the end, in the last quarter and later end of the year: In like manner judge of the moneths, days and hours.

同样，若他这样与月主、日主成格局，那月那日就不会发生这样的祸害：若这种以星体或相位而成的接纳在任何星座的前七度，好事主要会在年初、在第一季；若在第七度与第十五度之间，在前半年；若在第十五度与第二十一度之间，在第三季；若在那以后直到末尾，在最后一季、年末：月、日、时也同样判断。

The Antients amongst other curiosities in this nature have given these rules for the knowing whether the Generall or chief Commander of the enemies party be young or old; have regard to the Significator of the afflicting Planet and Significator of the enemy, and see if they be Oriental, for then it denoteth him young, especially if then the Moon be also Oriental; but if they be all Occidental, he is old; but if one shall be Oriental and the other Occidental, he is neither young nor very old but of a middle age.

古人在这方面的种种精细之说中，给了这些规则来知道敌方的将领或主帅是年轻还是年老：留意施害之星的征象星与敌人的征象星，看它们是否东出，因为那就表示他年轻，尤其若那时月亮也东出；但若它们全都西入，他就年老；但若一个东出、另一个西入，他既不年轻也不很老，而是中年。

I shall here now conclude this Chapter with this note, that all quarrels and blood-sheds that happen in the World are generally occasioned by Mars, because when he enters any angle, especially the fourth, he signifies there shall be many quarrels and wars, and great slaughters and effusion of blood, and that men shall delight to kill one another.

我在此就以这个提示结束本章：世上发生的一切争吵与流血，一般都由火星引起，因为当他进入任何一个角，尤其第四宫时，他表示会有许多争吵与战争，大屠杀与大量流血，人们会以互相杀戮为乐。
