卷三·第十二章　论身体的伤损与疾病

Since the subject which comes next is that which treats of the injuries and diseases of body, we shall attach here in regular order the method of investigation devised for this form of query. It is as follows. In this case also, to gain a general comprehension, it is necessary to look to the two angles of the horizon, that is, the orient and the occident, and especially to the occident itself and the sign preceding it, which is disjunct from the oriental angle. We must also observe what aspect the maleficent planets bear to them.

接下来的题目讲身体的伤损与疾病，我们就按次序在这里接上为这类问题所设的探究方法。方法如下：在这里也一样，要得到总体的把握，必须看地平的两个角，即上升点与下降点，尤其要看下降点本身，以及它前面那个与上升之角不相接的星座；还要观察凶星对它们成什么相位。

For if they, one or both of them, are stationed against the ascending degrees of the aforesaid places, either bodily on them or quartile or in opposition to them, we must conclude that the subjects born will suffer bodily injuries and disease, especially if either one or both of the luminaries as well chance to be angular in the manner described, or in opposition.

因为凶星若有一颗或两颗正对着前述各处上升的度数，或以体合在其上，或成四分，或与之对冲，我们就必须断定，所生之人身体会有伤损与疾病；若两光之中也有一颗或两颗恰好按所说的方式居于角上，或成对冲，就更是如此。

For in that case not only if one of the maleficent planets is rising after the luminaries, but even if it is rising before them and is itself angular, it has power to produce one of the aforesaid injuries or diseases of such kind as the places of the horizon and of the signs may indicate, likewise what is indicated by the natures of the afflicting and the afflicted planets, and moreover by those that bear an aspect toward them.

因为在这种情形下，不但凶星之一在两光之后升起时如此，即使它在两光之前升起、而自身居角，也有力造成前述的某种伤损或疾病，其种类由地平之处与星座所指示，同样也由施害之星与受害之星的本性所指示，此外还由与它们成相位的诸星所指示。

For the parts of the individual signs of the zodiac which surround the afflicted portion of the horizon will indicate the part of the body which the portent will concern, and whether the part indicated can suffer an injury or a disease or both, and the natures of the planets produce the kinds and causes of the events that are to occur. For, of the most important parts of the human body, Saturn is lord of the right ear, the spleen, the bladder, the phlegm, and the bones; Jupiter is lord of touch, the lungs, arteries, and semen;

因为环绕地平受害之处的各个黄道星座的部分，会指示这个征兆涉及身体的哪一部分，以及所指的部位会遭受伤损、疾病还是两者兼有；而诸星的本性，则造成将要发生之事的种类与原因。因为在人体最重要的各部之中，土星主右耳、脾、膀胱、痰液与骨骼；木星主触觉、肺、动脉与精液；

Mars of the left ear, kidneys, veins, and genitals; the sun of the sight, the brain, heart, sinews and all the right-hand parts; Venus of smell, the liver, and the flesh; Mercury of speech and thought, the tongue, the bile, and the buttocks; the moon of taste and drinking, the stomach, belly, womb, and all the left-hand parts.

火星主左耳、肾、静脉与生殖器；太阳主视觉、脑、心、筋腱与身体右侧的一切部分；金星主嗅觉、肝与肌肉；水星主言语与思维、舌、胆汁与臀部；月亮主味觉与饮、胃、腹、子宫与身体左侧的一切部分。

For the most part it is a general principle that injuries occur when the significant maleficent planets are oriental, and diseases, conversely, when they are setting. The reason for this is that these two things are distinguished thus — an injury affects the subject once for all and does not involve lasting pain, while disease bears upon the patient either continuously or in sudden attacks.

大体上有一条通则：起指示作用的凶星东出时生伤损，反之，西入时生疾病。理由在于两者是这样区分的：伤损一次加诸其人便告定局，并不带来持久的痛苦；疾病则压在患者身上，或连续不断，或骤然发作。

For the purpose of ascertaining particulars, certain configurations significant of injury or sickness have been specially observed, by means of the events which generally accompany such positions of the stars. For blindness in one eye is brought about when the moon by itself is upon the aforesaid angles, or is in conjunction, or is full, and when it is in another aspect that bears a relation to the sun, but applies to one of the star clusters in the zodiac, as for example to the cluster in Cancer, and to the Pleiades of Taurus, to the arrow point of Sagittarius, to the sting of Scorpio, to the parts of Leo around the Coma Berenices, or to the pitcher of Aquarius; and whenever Mars or Saturn moves toward the moon, when it is angular and waning and they are rising, or again when they ascend before the sun, being themselves angular.

为了确定细节，人们借着通常伴随诸星这类位置而来的事件，特别观察到某些预示伤损或疾病的格局。因为，月亮单独居于前述的角上，或在合朔，或为满月，以及处在另一种与太阳有关联的相位上，却入相于黄道上的某个星团时——例如巨蟹中的星团、金牛的昴星团、射手的箭尖、天蝎的螫针、狮子在后发座附近的部分，或水瓶的水罐——会造成一目失明；又，每当火星或土星趋近月亮，而月亮居角、正在亏缺、它们正在升起之时；或者它们自身居角而先于太阳升起之时，也是如此。

But if they are in aspect with both luminaries at once, either in the same sign or in opposition, as we said, morning stars with respect to the sun and evening stars to the moon, they will affect both eyes; for Mars brings about blindness from a blow, thrust, iron, or burning; when he has Mercury in aspect, in palaestras and gymnasiums or by felonious attack. Saturn causes it by suffusion, cold, glaucoma, and the like.

但它们若同时与两光成相位，或同在一座，或如前所说成对冲，对太阳是晨星、对月亮是昏星，就会累及双眼。因为火星造成失明，是由于击打、刺戳、铁器或灼烧；若有水星与他成相位，则发生在角力场与体育场中，或由于歹人袭击。土星造成失明，则由于翳障、寒冷、青光眼之类。

Again if Venus is upon one of the aforesaid angles, particularly the occident, if she is joined with Saturn or is in aspect with him or has exchanged houses, and is inferior to Mars or has him in opposition, the men who are born are sterile, and the women are subject to miscarriages, premature births, or even to embryotomies, particularly in Cancer, Virgo, and Capricorn.

再者，若金星居于前述的某个角上，尤其是下降点，又与土星会合、或与他成相位、或与他互换庙位，并且被火星压制、或与火星对冲，所生的男子便不能生育，女子则易流产、早产，乃至须以手术取出胎儿，尤其在巨蟹、处女、摩羯。

And if the moon at rising applies to Mars, and if she also bears the same aspect to Mercury that Saturn does, while Mars again is elevated above her or is in opposition, the children born are eunuchs or hermaphrodites or have no ducts and vents.

若月亮在升起时入相于火星，她对水星所成的相位又与土星对水星的相同，而火星又压制她或与她对冲，所生的孩子便是阉人或两性人，或没有管道与孔窍。

Since this is so, when the sun also is in aspect, if the luminaries and Venus are made masculine, the moon is waning, and the maleficent planets are approaching in the succeeding degrees, the males that are born will be deprived of their sexual organs or injured therein, particularly in Aries, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Aquarius, and the females will be childless and sterile.

既然如此，若太阳也成相位，两光与金星成为阳性，月亮正在亏缺，而凶星在其后续的度数上趋近，所生的男子便会失去生殖器官或在那里受伤，尤其在白羊、狮子、天蝎、摩羯、水瓶；女子则无子而不育。

Sometimes those who have such genitures continue not without injury to the sight also; but those suffer impediment of speech, lisp, or have difficulty in enunciation who have Saturn and Mercury joined with the sun at the aforesaid angles, particularly if Mercury is also setting and both bear some aspect to the moon. When Mars is present with them he is generally apt to loosen the impediment to the tongue, after the moon meets him.

有这种本命的人，有时视力也不免受损；而土星与水星在前述的角上与太阳会合的人，会有言语障碍、口齿不清或发音困难，尤其当水星也西入、两星又都与月亮成某种相位时。若火星与它们同在，月亮与他相遇之后，他一般会解开舌头的障碍。

Again, if the luminaries, together or in opposition, move toward the maleficent planets upon the angles, or if the maleficent planets move toward the luminaries, particularly when the moon is at the nodes or her bendings, or in the injurious signs such as Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, or Capricorn, there come about deformations of the body such as hunchback, crookedness, lameness, or paralysis, congenital if the maleficent planets are joined with the luminaries, but if they are at the mid‑heaven points, elevated above the luminaries or in opposition one to the other, the deformations will result from serious dangers, such as falls from a height, the collapse of houses, or the attacks of robbers or animals. If Mars prevails, the danger is from fire, wounds, bilious attacks, or robberies; if it is Saturn, through collapse of buildings, shipwreck, or spasms.

再者，若两光或同处、或对冲，趋近位于角上的凶星，或凶星趋近两光，尤其当月亮在交点或在她的弯折点上，或在致损星座如白羊、金牛、巨蟹、天蝎、摩羯之中，就会出现身体的畸形，如驼背、身体歪斜、跛足或瘫痪：若凶星与两光会合，这是生来就有的；若凶星在两个中天点上，居于两光之上、或彼此对冲，畸形则起于重大的危险，如从高处坠落、房屋倒塌、盗匪或野兽的袭击。若火星占上风，危险来自火、创伤、胆汁病的发作或劫掠；若是土星，则来自建筑倒塌、船难或痉挛。

For the most part injuries come about when the moon is near the solstitial or equinoctial signs, particularly at the spring equinox, injuries by white leprosy; at the summer solstice, by lichens; at the fall equinox, by leprosy; at the winter solstice, by moles and the like. Diseases are likely to result when at the positions already described the maleficent planets are in aspect, but in the opposite sense, that is, evening stars with respect to the sun and morning stars to the moon.

伤损大多发生在月亮靠近至点或分点星座之时：尤其在春分，是白癞所致的伤损；在夏至，是癣；在秋分，是癞；在冬至，是痣之类。若在前述的位置上，凶星成相位，但方向相反，即对太阳是昏星、对月亮是晨星，就容易生出疾病。

For in general Saturn causes his subjects to have cold bellies, increases the phlegm, makes them rheumatic, meagre, weak, jaundiced, and prone to dysentery, coughing, raising, colic, and elephantiasis; the females he makes also subject to diseases of the womb.

因为一般说来，土星使所主之人腹中寒冷，痰液增多，易患风湿，消瘦、虚弱、发黄，易患痢疾、咳嗽、咯痰、绞痛与象皮病；女子还易患子宫之疾。

Mars causes men to spit blood, makes them melancholy, weakens their lungs, and causes the itch or scurvy; and furthermore he causes them to be constantly irritated by cutting or cautery of the secret parts because of fistulas, haemorrhoids, or tumours, or also burning ulcers, or eating sores; he is apt to afflict women furthermore with miscarriages, embryotomies, or corrosive diseases. Of themselves, they also bring about the properties of disease in agreement with the natures, which have been already discussed, of the planets in aspect, as they relate to the parts of the body.

火星使人咯血、忧郁，削弱肺部，生疥疮或坏血病；此外，他还使人因瘘管、痔疮或肿瘤，或灼痛的溃疡、侵蚀性的疮，而一再受隐秘部位切割或烧灼之苦；他还容易使女子流产、须以手术取出胎儿，或患侵蚀性的疾病。就它们自身而言，它们也会按照前面讲过的、成相位诸星的本性，就其与身体各部的关系，带来相应的病症性质。

Mercury assists them chiefly to prolong the evil effects, when he is allied with Saturn inclining toward cold and continually stirring into activity rheumatisms and gatherings of fluid, particularly about the chest, throat, and stomach. When he is allied with Mars he adds his force to produce greater dryness, as in cases of ulcerous sore eyes, eschars, abscesses, erysipelas, savage lichens or skin eruptions, black bile, insanity, the sacred disease, or the like.

水星帮助它们，主要是使恶果延长：他与土星结伴时偏向寒冷，不断激起风湿与体液积聚，尤其在胸、喉、胃一带；与火星结伴时，他添力使之更燥，如溃烂的眼疾、焦痂、脓肿、丹毒、凶猛的癣或皮疹、黑胆汁、疯狂、圣病之类。

Certain qualities of disease are determined by changes among the zodiacal signs which surround the aforesaid configurations on the two angles. For in particular Cancer, Capricorn, and Pisces, and in general the terrestrial and piscine signs, cause diseases involving eating sores, lichens, scales, scrofula, fistulas, elephantiasis, and the like. Sagittarius and Gemini are responsible for those that come about with falling fits or epileptic seizures.

疾病的某些性质，由环绕两角上前述格局的黄道星座的变换而定。因为特别是巨蟹、摩羯、双鱼，一般而言则是陆生与鱼形的星座，会造成蚀疮、癣、鳞屑、瘰疬、瘘管、象皮病之类的疾病。射手与双子则导致伴有跌倒发作或癫痫发作的疾病。

And when the planets are in the last degrees of the signs they cause diseases and injuries especially in the extremities, through lesions or rheumatism, from which elephantiasis and, in general, gout in the feet and hands result. Since this is the case, if no beneficent planet bears an aspect to the maleficent ones which furnish the cause, or to the luminaries on the centres, the injuries and diseases will be incurable and painful; so also, if they bear an aspect but the maleficent planets are in power and overcome them.

诸星若在星座的最后几度，就会造成疾病与伤损，尤其在四肢末端，起于损伤或风湿，由此生出象皮病，以及一般所说的手足痛风。既然如此，若没有吉星与作为起因的凶星成相位，也没有吉星与居于四角的两光成相位，伤损与疾病就会无法医治而且痛苦；若吉星虽成相位，凶星却得势而压制它们，也是如此。

But if the beneficent planets are themselves in the authoritative positions and overcome the maleficent planets that bear the responsibility for the evil, then the injuries are not disfiguring and do not entail reproach and the diseases are moderate and yield to treatment, and sometimes they may be easily cured, if the beneficent planets are rising. For Jupiter generally causes the injuries to be concealed by human aid through riches and honours, and the diseases to be mitigated; and in company with Mercury he brings this about by drugs and the aid of good physicians.

但若吉星本身居于有权的位置，并压制那些对此恶负有责任的凶星，伤损就不会毁容，也不招人责难，疾病则轻微而能受治，若吉星正在升起，有时还能轻易治愈。因为木星一般使伤损借着财富与荣誉、凭人力得以掩饰，使疾病得以减轻；若与水星同在，他就借药物与良医之助做到这一点。

And Venus contrives that through pronouncements of the gods and oracles the blemishes shall be, in a way, comely and attractive, and that the diseases shall be readily moderated by divine healing; if however Saturn is by, the healing will be accompanied by exhibition and confession of the disease, and such like, but if Mercury is joined with her it will be with the accrual of use and gain, through the injuries and diseases themselves, to those that have them.

而金星则设法借着神的宣示与神谕，使缺陷在某种意义上显得好看、动人，并使疾病经由神力疗愈而容易缓和；但若土星在旁，疗愈时便伴随着对病情的展示与坦白之类；若水星与她会合，则伤病本身反而会给患者带来用处与收益。
