卷三·第十四章　论灵魂的疾病

Since the account of the principal diseases of the soul, in a sense, follows upon that of the soul's characteristics, it is in general needful to note and observe the positions of Mercury and the moon relative to each other, to the angles, and to the planets whose nature it is to do injury; for if, while they themselves are unrelated to each other, or to the eastern horizon, they are overcome, or surrounded, or held in opposition by unfamiliar stars in injurious aspect, they cause the incidence of various diseases which affect the soul's character. Their interpretation again is to be calculated from the previously described qualities of the planets which are familiar to the places in the sky.

灵魂主要疾病的论述，在某种意义上紧随灵魂特征的论述而来，因此总的说来，必须留意并观察水星与月亮彼此之间、对四角、以及对本性主伤害的行星的位置；因为如果它们彼此不相关联，或不与东方地平相关联，而又被不相亲的星以伤害性的相位压制、包围或对冲，就会招致种种影响灵魂性格的疾病。这些疾病的解释，又要根据前面讲过的、与天上这些位置相亲的行星的品质来推算。

Indeed, most of the more moderate diseases have, in a way, already been distinguished in what has been said about the character of the soul, and their increase can be discerned from the excess of injurious influences; one might now with propriety call "diseases" those extremes of character which either fall short of or exceed the mean. Those affections, however, which are utterly disproportionate and as it were pathological, which relate to the whole nature, and which concern both the intelligent part of the soul and its passive part, are, in brief, to be discerned as follows.

其实，大多数较轻的病，在某种意义上已在论灵魂性格时分辨过了，它们的加重，可以从伤害性影响的过度中看出；如今人们大可恰当地把那些或不及、或超过中道的极端性格称为“疾病”。至于那些全然失衡、可说是病态的病症，关乎整个本性，又牵涉灵魂的理智部分与被动部分的，简要地说，要按下面的方法来辨识。

In most cases those are epileptic in whose genitures the moon and Mercury are, as we said before, unrelated to each other or to the eastern horizon, while Saturn by day or Mars by night is angular and in the aspect previously described. They are violently insane when, again under the same conditions, Saturn by night and Mars by day rules the position, particularly in Cancer, Virgo, or Pisces.

大多数情况下，本命中月亮与水星如前所说彼此不相关联、或不与东方地平相关联，而土星在昼、火星在夜居于四角，并呈前述相位的人，患癫痫。同样在这些条件下，若土星在夜、火星在昼主宰这一位置，尤其在巨蟹、处女或双鱼，其人就会狂乱。

They are afflicted by demons and have water on the brain when the maleficent planets are in this position and control the moon in phase, Saturn when she is at conjunction, Mars when she is full, and particularly in Sagittarius and Pisces. When the maleficent planets are by themselves and rule the configuration in the manner stated, the diseases of the rational part of the soul which we have mentioned as being caused by them are, to be sure, incurable, but latent and obscure.

若凶星处在这一位置，并在月相之时掌控月亮——土星在她会合（朔）时，火星在她满月（望）时——尤其在射手与双鱼，其人便为邪灵所扰，脑中积水。若凶星单独如上所述主宰这一格局，它们所致的、我们提到过的灵魂理性部分的疾病，固然无法治愈，却潜藏而不显。

But if the beneficent planets Jupiter and Venus have some familiarity to them when they are themselves in the western parts and the beneficent planets are angular in the east, they make the diseases curable, but noticeable; if it be Jupiter, curable by medical treatments, a diet, or drugs; if Venus, by oracles and the aid of the gods.

但若吉星木星与金星与它们有某种亲缘，而凶星自身在西方诸处，吉星在东方居于四角，就使这些疾病可治，却显露在外：若是木星，可借医疗、饮食调理或药物治愈；若是金星，则借神谕与神助而愈。

When the maleficent planets themselves are angular in the east and the beneficent planets are setting, the diseases which they cause are both incurable, the subject of talk, and conspicuous; in epilepsy they involve the victims in continuous attacks, notoriety, and deadly peril; in madness and seizures, they cause instability, alienation of friends, tearing off clothes, abusive language, and the like; in demonic seizures or water on the brain, possession, confession, torments, and similar manifestations.

若凶星自身在东方居于四角，而吉星正在沉没，它们所致的疾病便既不可治，又为人议论，且显而易见：在癫痫，使患者发作不断、人尽皆知，并有性命之危；在狂病与惊厥，使人举止无常、朋友疏离、撕扯衣服、口出恶言，诸如此类；在邪灵发作或脑中积水，则有附身、自白、苦楚及类似的表现。

In detail, of the places that possess the configuration, those of the sun and Mars in causing madness, those of Jupiter and Mercury, epilepsy; those of Venus, divine possession and public confession; and those of Saturn and the moon, gatherings of water and demonic seizures.

细分起来，在具有此格局的位置中，属太阳与火星的，致狂病；属木星与水星的，致癫痫；属金星的，致神灵附身与当众自白；属土星与月亮的，致积水与邪灵发作。

The morbid perversion of the active part of the soul in its general nature, therefore, is produced in some such forms as these and is produced by these configurations of the planets. The corresponding perversion of the passive portion, as in the former instance viewed in its extreme cases, is most apparent in excesses and deficiencies in matters of sex, male and female, as compared with what is natural, and in inquiry is apprehended in the same fashion as before, though the sun is taken, together with the moon, instead of Mercury, and the relation to them of Mars, together with Venus, is observed.

所以，灵魂主动部分在其总体本性上的病态偏差，大致以这些形式出现，并由诸星的这些格局造成。被动部分相应的偏差，也与前者一样从其极端情形来看，最明显地表现在男女两性之事上相较于自然的过度与不足；推究的方法与前面相同，只是以太阳代替水星，与月亮一同来看，并观察火星连同金星与它们的关系。

For when these thus fall under observation, if the luminaries are unattended in masculine signs, males exceed in the natural, and females exceed in the unnatural quality, so as merely to increase the virility and activity of the soul. But if likewise Mars or Venus as well, either one or both of them, is made masculine, the males become addicted to natural sexual intercourse, and are adulterous, insatiate, and ready on every occasion for base and lawless acts of sexual passion, while the females are lustful for unnatural congresses, cast inviting glances of the eye, and are what we call tribades; for they deal with females and perform the functions of males.

因为照这样观察时，若两光在阳性星座而无护卫，男子在合乎自然的一面过度，女子在违背自然的一面过度，不过只是增加灵魂的阳刚与主动。但若火星或金星，其一或两者，同样被阳性化，男子便沉溺于合乎自然的交合，通奸、不知餍足，随时准备做卑污而不法的情欲之事；女子则贪求违背自然的交合，以目光挑引，就是我们所称的“特里巴德”，因为她们与女子交往，行男子之事。

If Venus alone is constituted in a masculine manner, they do these things secretly and not openly. But if Mars likewise is so constituted, without reserve, so that sometimes they even designate the women with whom they are on such terms as their lawful "wives."

若只有金星处于阳性的状态，她们暗中行事，而不公开。若火星也是如此，便毫无顾忌，有时甚至把与自己有这种关系的女子称作合法的“妻子”。

But on the other hand, when the luminaries in the aforesaid configuration are unattended in feminine signs, the females exceed in the natural, and the males in unnatural practice, with the result that their souls become soft and effeminate. If Venus too is made feminine, the women become depraved, adulterous, and lustful, with the result that they may be dealt with in the natural manner on any occasion and by any one soever, and so that they refuse absolutely no sexual act, though it be base or unlawful.

反过来，若两光在前述格局中位于阴性星座而无护卫，女子在合乎自然的一面过度，男子则在违背自然的行为上过度，以致他们的灵魂变得柔弱而女气。若金星也被阴性化，女子便堕落、通奸、好色，以致在任何场合、与任何人都可依自然的方式交合，无论多么卑污或不法的性事都绝不拒绝。

The men, on the contrary, become effeminate and unsound with respect to unnatural congresses and the functions of women, and are dealt with as pathics, though privately and secretly. But if Mars also is constituted in a feminine manner, their shamelessness is outright and frank and they perform the aforesaid acts of either kind, assuming the guise of common bawds who submit to general abuse and to every baseness until they are stamped with the reproach and insult that attend such usages.

男子则相反，在违背自然的交合与女子之事上变得女气而失其常度，作为被动的一方，不过是私下暗中。但若火星也处于阴性的状态，他们的无耻便公然坦露，前述两类行为都做，装扮成任人凌辱、无所不为的娼妓模样，直到身上烙下这类行径所招来的责难与侮辱。

And the rising and morning positions of both Mars and Venus have contributory effect, to make them more virile and notorious, while setting and evening positions increase femininity and sedateness. Similarly, if Saturn is present, his influence joins with each of the foregoing to produce more licentiousness, impurity, and disgrace, while Jupiter aids in the direction of greater decorum, restraint, and modesty, and Mercury tends to increase notoriety, instability of the emotions, versatility, and foresight.

火星与金星的升起与晨星之位也有助成之效，使人更阳刚、更为人所知；沉没与昏星之位则增加阴柔与沉静。同样，若有土星参与，他的影响与前述每一种相合，造成更多的放纵、不洁与耻辱；木星则助人更得体、更克制、更知羞；水星则倾向于增加名声的张扬、情感的不稳、多变与远虑。
