卷四·第五章　论婚姻

As the subject of marriage comes next in order to these matters, the following is the method whereby the lawful association of man and wife must be investigated. For men it is necessary to observe the position of the moon in their genitures. For, in the first place, if she chances to be in the eastern quadrants, she makes men marry young or marry women younger than themselves; but if she is in the western quadrants they marry late or marry older women.

既然婚姻这一题目依次接在这些事之后，下面就是探究男女合法结合所须用的方法。对男子，须看他本命中月亮的位置。因为首先，若她恰在东方象限，便使男子早婚，或娶比自己年轻的女子；若她在西方象限，他们就晚婚，或娶比自己年长的女子。

And if she is under the rays of the sun and in aspect with Saturn, they do not marry at all. Then again, if the moon is in a sign of a single figure, or is applying to one of the planets, she makes them men of one marriage; but if she is in a bicorporeal or multiform sign, or applies to several planets in the same sign, she makes them marry more than once.

若她在太阳光下，又与土星成相位，他们就根本不结婚。再者，若月亮在单一形体的星座，或入相于一颗行星，她使他们成为只结一次婚的人；但若她在双体或多形的星座，或入相于同一星座中的数颗行星，她使他们不止一次结婚。

And if the planets to which she applies, either by propinquity, or by testimony, are beneficent, the men get good wives; but if they are maleficent planets, the opposite. If she applies to Saturn, he makes the wives hardworking and stern; Jupiter, dignified and good managers; Mars, bold and unruly; Venus, cheerful, beautiful, and charming; Mercury, intelligent and keen. Further, Venus with Jupiter, Saturn, or Mercury makes them thrifty and affectionate to their husbands and children, but with Mars, easily roused to wrath, unstable, and unfeeling.

若她以相近或以见证所入相的行星是吉星，男子便得良妻；若是凶星，则相反。若她入相于土星，土星使妻子勤劳而严厉；木星，使之端庄而善于持家；火星，使之大胆而不驯；金星，使之开朗、美丽而可爱；水星，使之聪明而敏锐。再者，金星与木星、土星或水星同在，使她们节俭，爱丈夫与子女；与火星同在，则使她们易怒、反复无常、冷漠无情。

In the case of the wives one must observe the sun in their genitures; for if he, again, chances to be in the eastern quadrants, he makes those who have him in this position in their genitures either marry young or marry men younger than themselves, but in the western quadrants, he makes them marry late or marry husbands older than themselves.

对妻子们，须看她们本命中的太阳；因为同样，若他恰在东方象限，就使本命中太阳如此的女子早婚，或嫁比自己年轻的男子；若在西方象限，则使她们晚婚，或嫁比自己年长的丈夫。

And if the sun is in a sign of a single figure, or applies to one of the oriental planets, he makes them marry but once; but, again, if he is in a bicorporeal or multiform sign, or in aspect with several planets in the east, they marry more than once. If Saturn is similarly in aspect with the sun, they marry sedate, useful, industrious husbands; if Jupiter is in aspect, dignified and magnanimous; Mars, men of action, lacking in affection, and unruly; Venus, neat and handsome; Mercury, thrifty and practical;

若太阳在单一形体的星座，或入相于一颗东出的行星，他使她们只结一次婚；但同样，若他在双体或多形的星座，或与东方的数颗行星成相位，她们就不止一次结婚。若土星同样与太阳成相位，她们嫁的是沉稳、有用、勤勉的丈夫；若木星与之成相位，是端庄而宽宏的丈夫；火星，是能干而缺少情意、不驯服的人；金星，是整洁而俊美的人；水星，是节俭而务实的人；

Venus with Saturn, sluggish and rather weak in sexual relations; Venus with Mars, ardent, impetuous, and adulterous; Venus with Mercury, infatuated with boys. In this connection we mean by eastern quadrants, in the case of the sun, the signs which precede the rising sign of the zodiac, and those which precede the setting sign; with reference to the moon, the signs from new and full moon to the quarters; and by western quadrants the signs opposite these.

金星与土星同在，是迟钝而在房事上较弱的人；金星与火星同在，是热烈、冲动而易与人私通的人；金星与水星同在，是迷恋少年的人。这里所说的东方象限，就太阳而言，指黄道上位于上升星座之前、以及位于下降星座之前的诸星座；就月亮而言，指从新月与满月到弦月的诸星座；西方象限则指与这些相反的星座。

Marriages for the most part are lasting when in both the genitures the luminaries happen to be in harmonious aspect, that is, in trine or in sextile with one another, and particularly when this comes about by exchange; and even more when the husband's moon is in such aspect with the wife's sun. Divorces on slight pretexts and complete alienations occur when the aforesaid positions of the luminaries are in disjunct signs, or in opposition or in quartile.

当两人的本命中两光恰成和谐的相位，即彼此成三分或六分时，婚姻大多能长久，尤其当这是交互形成的时候；而丈夫的月亮与妻子的太阳成这样的相位时，更是如此。若前述两光的位置落在不相接星座，或成对冲、四分，就会因细故而离异，乃至彻底疏远。

And if the beneficent planets regard the luminaries when the latter are in harmonious aspect, they keep the marriage pleasant, agreeable, and profitable, but if the maleficent planets so regard the luminaries, the marriage will be quarrelsome, unpleasant, and unprofitable. Similarly, when the luminaries are in inharmonious positions, the beneficent planets testifying to the luminaries do not completely terminate the marriages, but bring about renewals and recollections, which preserve kindness and affection; but the maleficent planets cause divorces with abuse and violence.

两光成和谐相位时，若吉星照看两光，就使婚姻愉快、融洽而有益；若是凶星这样照看两光，婚姻就会争吵不休、不愉快、无益。同样，两光处于不和谐的位置时，为两光作见证的吉星不会使婚姻彻底了结，而会带来重修旧好与追念旧情，保住和善与情意；凶星却会造成伴随辱骂与暴力的离异。

If Mercury is alone with them, they are involved in notoriety and recriminations; and along with Venus, in adultery, poisonings, and the like. Marriages which come about in any other manner whatsoever must be judged by looking to Venus, Mars, and Saturn. For if they are with the luminaries in familiarity, we must decide that the marriages also will be domestic and the relationship lawful.

若只有水星与它们同在，他们会卷入恶名与互相指责；若水星与金星一同，则卷入私通、下毒之类的事。以其他任何方式结成的婚配，都须看金星、火星与土星来判断。因为若它们与两光有亲缘，就应断定这些婚配也是居家的，关系是合法的。

For the marriage relationship will follow the relation which Venus holds to each of the planets mentioned, toward Mars, that of persons of the same age, since they have their exaltations in signs that are in trine to one another; toward Saturn, that of the older person, since again they have their houses in signs which are in trine to each other.

因为婚配的关系，会依照金星对上述每一颗行星所处的关系：对火星，是同龄人的关系，因为它们的旺在彼此成三分的星座；对土星，是与年长者的关系，因为同样，它们的庙在彼此成三分的星座。

Therefore Venus, with Mars, produces merely amorous dispositions, but if Mercury is present, notoriety also; in the common and familiar signs, Capricorn and Pisces, unions with brethren or kindred. If in the case of men Venus is with the moon, she makes them unite with two sisters or kinsfolk, and if in the case of women Venus is with Jupiter, with two brothers, or kinsfolk.

所以，金星与火星同在，只造成多情的性情，但若水星也在，还会有恶名；若在两星共有而亲近的星座摩羯与双鱼，则与同胞或亲族结合。男命中若金星与月亮同在，她使男子与两姊妹或亲族结合；女命中若金星与木星同在，则与两兄弟或亲族结合。

Again, if Venus happens to be with Saturn, she produces merely pleasant and firm unions, but if Mercury is present, they are also beneficial. But if Mars also is present the marriage will be unstable, harmful, and full of jealousy. And if she is in the same aspect to them, she brings about marriages with equals in age; but if she is further to the east than they, marriages with younger men or women, and if she is further to the west, with older women or men.

再者，若金星恰与土星同在，她只造成愉快而牢固的结合，但若水星也在，还会有益。但若火星也在，婚姻就会不稳、有害、充满嫉妒。若她对它们处于同样的相位，她带来与同龄人的婚姻；若她比它们更偏东，则与较年轻的男子或女子结婚；若更偏西，则与较年长的女子或男子结婚。

But if Venus and Saturn are also in the common signs, that is, in Capricorn or Libra, they portend marriages of kin. If the moon is present with this aforesaid combination when it is at the horoscope or at mid‑heaven, she makes men wed their mothers, or their mother's sisters, or their stepmothers, and women wed their sons, their brothers' sons, or their daughters' husbands. The sun, particularly if the planets are setting, makes men wed their daughters, daughters' sisters, or sons' wives, and the women wed their fathers, fathers' brothers, or stepfathers.

但若金星与土星又在共有的星座，即摩羯或天秤，便预示亲属之间的婚姻。若上述组合位于上升点或中天时有月亮同在，她使男子娶其母亲、或母亲的姊妹、或继母，使女子嫁其儿子、兄弟之子、或女儿的丈夫。若是太阳，尤其当这些行星正在沉没时，使男子娶其女儿、女儿的姊妹、或儿子的妻子，使女子嫁其父亲、父亲的兄弟、或继父。

But if the aforesaid aspects chance not to be composed of signs of the same gender, but are in feminine places, thus they produce depraved individuals, ready in every way for both active and passive participation, and in some formations utterly obscene, as for instance in the forward and hinder parts of Aries, the Hyades, and the Pitcher, and the hind parts of Leo, and the face of Capricorn.

但若上述的相位恰好不是由同一性别的星座构成，而是落在阴性之位，就会造就放荡失度的人，主动与被动无所不为；在某些形态中更是极其淫秽，例如在白羊的前部与后部、毕星团、水瓶之瓶、狮子的后部以及摩羯的面部。

But if the configuration is angular, on the first two angles, the eastern and mid‑heaven, they make a complete display of their abnormalities and bring them forward even in public places; on the last two, that is, the western and northern, they produce spades and eunuchs or sterile women and those without passages; if Mars is present, men who have lost their genitals, or the so‑called tribades.

但若这一格局在角：在前两个角，即东方与中天，他们会把自己的异常全然显露出来，甚至在公共场所也带到人前；在后两个角，即西方与北方，则造就天阉与阉人，或不育的女子与无通道者；若火星也在，则造就失去生殖器的男子，或所谓的“特里巴德”。

In general we shall, in the case of men, investigate through Mars what will be their disposition with respect to matters of love. For if Mars is separated from Venus and Saturn, but has the testimony of Jupiter, he produces men who are cleanly and decorous in love and who aim only at its natural use. But if he is accompanied by Saturn alone, he produces men cautious, hesitant, and frigid. If Venus and Jupiter are in aspect with him, he will produce men easily roused and passionate, who are, however, continent, hold themselves in check, and avoid unseemliness.

总的来说，对男子，我们要借火星来考察他们在情爱之事上的性情。因为若火星与金星、土星分离，却得到木星的见证，他造就在情爱上洁净端正、只求其自然之用的男子。但若只有土星伴随他，他造就谨慎、迟疑而冷淡的男子。若金星与木星与他成相位，他会造就易动情而热烈的男子，但他们能节制、约束自己、避免失礼。

With Venus alone, or if Jupiter also is with her, but Saturn is not present, he produces lustful, careless men, who seek their pleasures from every quarter; and if one of the planets is an evening and the other a morning star, men who have relations with both males and females, but no more than moderately inclined to either. But if both are evening stars, they will be inclined toward the females alone, and if the signs of the zodiac are feminine, they themselves will be pathics.

若只与金星同在，或木星也与她同在、而土星不在，他造就好色、放任的男子，从各处寻求欢乐；若两星中一颗是昏星、另一颗是晨星，则造就与男子和女子都有交往、但对哪一方都只有中等倾向的男子。但若两颗都是昏星，他们只倾向于女子；若所在星座是阴性的，他们自己会成为被动者。

If both are morning stars, they will be infected only with love of boys, and if the signs of the zodiac are masculine, with males of any age. If Venus is further to the west, they will have to do with women of low degree, slaves, or foreigners; if Mars is further west, with superiors, or married women, or ladies of high station.

若两颗都是晨星，他们只染上对少年的爱恋；若所在星座是阳性的，则爱恋任何年纪的男子。若金星更偏西，他们会与卑贱的女子、女奴或外邦女子交往；若火星更偏西，则与地位在上者、有夫之妇或身分高贵的妇人交往。

In the genitures of women one must examine Venus. For if Venus is in aspect with Jupiter or likewise with Mercury, she makes them temperate and pure in love. If Saturn is not present, but she is associated with Mercury, she makes them easily aroused and full of desire, but generally cautious, hesitant, and avoiding turpitude. But if Venus is together with Mars only, or is in some aspect to him, she makes them lustful and depraved and more heedless.

在女子的本命中，须考察金星。因为若金星与木星、或同样与水星成相位，她使她们在情爱上节制而贞洁。若土星不在，而她与水星相联，她使她们易动情、多欲望，但大体上谨慎、迟疑、避开丑行。但若金星只与火星同在，或与他成某种相位，她使她们好色、放荡，而且更加不顾一切。

If Jupiter too is present with them, and if Mars is under the sun's rays, they have commerce with slaves, men of lower classes, or foreigners; but if Venus is in this position, they consort with men of superior rank or masters, playing the part of mistresses or adulteresses; if the planets are made feminine by their places or aspects, they are inclined only to take the passive part, but if the planets are made masculine they are so depraved as actively to have commerce with women.

若木星也与它们同在，而火星在太阳光下，她们会与奴隶、下层男子或外邦人交往；但若是金星处在这个位置，她们就与地位较高的男子或主人相处，充当情妇或与人私通的妇人；若这些行星因所在之位或相位而被阴性化，她们只倾向于居被动的一方；但若行星被阳性化，她们就放荡到主动与女子交合的地步。

However, when Saturn is brought into association with the aforesaid configurations, if he is himself made feminine, he is by himself the cause of licentiousness, but if he is rising and in a masculine position, he makes them the objects of censure or lovers of such; but combination with Jupiter, again, always gives a more seemly appearance to these faults, and with Mercury makes them more notorious and unsafe.

然而，当土星与上述格局相联时，若他自己被阴性化，他本身就是淫乱的原因；但若他正在升起、又处于阳性之位，就使她们成为受人指责的对象，或喜爱这类人的人；而与木星组合，总使这些过失显得体面些，与水星组合，则使之更加声名狼藉、更不安稳。
