卷四·第七章　论朋友与仇敌

With regard to friendly dispositions and the opposite, the deeper and more lasting of which we call sympathies and hostilities, and the lesser and occasional acquaintances and quarrels, our investigation will follow this course. In inquiries regarding matters of importance we must observe the places in both nativities which have the greatest authority, that is, those of the sun, the moon, the horoscope, and the Lot of Fortune; for if they chance to fall in the same signs of the zodiac, or if they exchange places, either all or most of them, and particularly if the horoscopic regions are about 17° apart, they bring about secure and indissoluble sympathy, unbroken by any quarrel.

关于友好的情谊及其反面——其中较深、较持久的，我们称为相感与敌意；较浅、偶然的，称为相识与争执——我们的探究将循如下的途径。在探究重大之事时，我们必须观察两张本命盘中最有权威的那些位置，即太阳、月亮、上升点与福点的位置；因为若它们碰巧落在黄道的同一些星座，或彼此互换位置——全部或大部分如此——尤其若两盘的上升之处相距约十七度，它们便带来牢固、不可解散、不为任何争吵所破的相感。

However, if they are in disjunct signs or opposite signs, they produce the deepest enmities and lasting contentions. If they chance to be situated in neither of these ways, but merely in signs which bear an aspect to one another, if they are in trine or in sextile, they make the sympathies less, and in quartile, the antipathies less. Thus there come about occasional spells of silence and of disparaging talk in friendships, whenever the maleficent planets are passing through these configurations, and truces and reconciliations in enmities at the ingress of the beneficent planets upon them.

然而，若它们落在不相接的星座或相对的星座，便产生最深的仇怨与持久的争斗。若它们碰巧既非前者、也非后者，而只是落在彼此成相位的星座：若成三分或六分，便使相感较浅；若成四分，便使相斥较浅。由此，每当凶星经过这些格局时，友谊中便会偶尔出现冷淡沉默与诋毁之言；每当吉星进入这些格局时，仇怨中便会出现休战与和解。

For there are three classes of friendship and enmity, since men are so disposed to one another either by preference or by need or through pleasure and pain; when all or most of the aforesaid places have familiarity with each other, the friendship is compounded of all three kinds, even as the enmity is, when they are dissociated.

因为友谊与敌意有三类，人们彼此之所以如此相待，或出于偏好，或出于需要，或出于快乐与痛苦；当上述诸位全部或大部分彼此有亲缘时，友谊便由这三类合成，正如诸位彼此疏离时，敌意也是如此。

But when the places of the luminaries only are in familiarity, the friendship will result from choice, which is the best and surest kind, and in the case of enmity the worst and faithless; similarly, when the places of the Lots of Fortune are familiar, through need; and when the places of the horoscopes are familiar, through pleasure or pain.

但若只有两光的位置有亲缘，友谊便出于选择，这是最好、最可靠的一种；在敌意的情形，则是最坏、最无信义的一种。同样，福点的位置有亲缘时，友谊出于需要；上升点的位置有亲缘时，出于快乐或痛苦。

One must observe, of the places in aspect, their elevations and how the planets regard them. To the nativity in which an elevation of the configuration occurs, whether it is the same sign as the succedent place or the one closest to it, must be assigned the greater authority and direction over friendship or enmity; and to those nativities in which the regard of the planets is more favourable for benevolence and power, we must allot the greater benefit from the friendship and the greater success in the enmity.

对于成相位的诸位，必须观察它们的居上位，以及诸星怎样照看它们。格局中出现居上位的那张本命盘——不论它与随后之位同在一个星座，还是在与之最近的星座——必须归给它对友谊与敌意较大的权威与主导；而在诸星的照看更有利于善意与力量的那些本命盘，我们必须分给它从友谊中较大的得益，以及在敌意中较大的胜算。

In the occasional acquaintances and oppositions that arise from time to time between individuals, we must pay attention to the movements of the planets in each of the nativities, that is, at what times the prorogations of the planets of one nativity reach the places of the other. For partial friendships and enmities take place in these times, prevailing at the shortest up to the completion of the prorogation, and at the longest until some other of the approaching planets reaches the place. Now if Saturn and Jupiter approach each other's places they produce friendships through introductions, agriculture, or inheritance;

在个人之间不时出现的偶然相识与对立，我们必须留意每一张本命盘中行星的运动，也就是：一张本命盘中诸星的释放，在什么时候到达另一张盘的位置。因为部分的友谊与敌意就发生在这些时候，最短持续到这次释放完成，最长则到另一颗来会的行星到达该处为止。若土星与木星来到彼此的位置，它们借引荐、农事或遗产而结成友谊；

Saturn and Mars make intentional quarrels and schemings; Saturn and Venus, associations through kinsfolk, which, however, quickly cool; Saturn and Mercury make marriage and partnerships for the sake of giving and receiving, trade, or the mysteries. Jupiter and Mars cause associations through dignities or the management of property; Jupiter and Venus friendships through women, religious rites, oracles, or the like; Jupiter and Mercury associations for learned discussion, based upon philosophic inclination. Mars and Venus cause associations through love, adultery, or illegitimate relations, but they are unsure and flourish only briefly;

土星与火星造成蓄意的争吵与算计；土星与金星，借亲属而结交，但很快就冷淡下来；土星与水星造成婚姻，以及为给予与收受、为贸易或为秘仪而结成的伙伴。木星与火星借尊位或产业的管理而结交；木星与金星借女人、宗教仪式、神谕之类而结成友谊；木星与水星为学问的讨论而结交，以爱好哲学为基础。火星与金星借爱情、通奸或不正当的关系而结交，但这些交往不可靠，只兴盛一时；

Mars and Mercury produce enmities, noisy disputes, and lawsuits which arise through business or poisonings. Venus and Mercury give associations based upon some art or domain of the Muses, or an introduction by letter or through women.

火星与水星造成敌意、吵闹的争执，以及因生意或下毒而起的诉讼。金星与水星给的交往，以某种技艺或缪斯的领域为基础，或经由书信、经由女人的引荐。

Now then we must determine the degree of the intensity or relaxation of acquaintances and oppositions from the relation between the places which they assume and the four principal and most authoritative places, for if they are upon the angles or the Lots of Fortune or the houses of the luminaries, their portent is the more conspicuous, but if they are removed from them, they are insignificant. Whether the association will be more injurious or more beneficial to the associates is to be determined from the character for good or bad of the planets which regard the places named.

那么，我们必须根据它们所到的位置与四个首要、最有权威的位置之间的关系，来判定这些相识与对立的紧张或松弛：因为若它们落在四角、福点或两光的居处，所预示的就更显著；若远离这些地方，就无足轻重。至于这种交往对交往的双方是害多还是利多，要从照看上述诸位的行星的吉凶性质来判定。

The special topic or account of slaves and the sympathy or antipathy of their masters to them is elucidated from the house of the Evil Daemon and from the natural suitability of the planets which regard this place both in the nativity itself and in their ingresses and oppositions to it, particularly when the lords of the sign are either in harmonious aspect to the principal places of the nativity, or the opposite.

关于奴仆这一专题，以及主人对他们的相感或反感，要从恶灵之位，以及照看此位的行星的本性是否相宜来阐明——既在本命盘本身中看，也在它们日后对此位的进入与对冲中看；尤其当这一星座的主星与本命盘的主要位置成和谐的相位、或者相反的时候。
