附卷·托勒密金言百则

THE CENTILOQUY, OR HUNDRED APHORISMS OF CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY; OTHERWISE CALLED, THE FRUIT OF HIS FOUR BOOKS

《金言百则》，即克劳狄乌斯·托勒密的百条格言，又名《四书之果》

I. JUDGMENT must be regulated by thyself, as well as by the science; for it is not possible that particular forms of events should be declared by any person, however scientific; since the understanding conceives only a certain general idea of some sensible event, and not its particular form. It is, therefore, necessary for him who practices herein to adopt inference. They only who are inspired by the deity can predict particulars.

一、判断必须由你自己与学问共同裁定；因为事件的具体形态，任何人无论多么精通学问，都无法说出；理解所能把握的，只是某一可感事件的大致观念，而不是它的具体形态。因此，从事此道的人必须运用推断。唯有受神灵感发的人，才能预言个别的细节。

II. When an enquirer shall make mature search into an expected event, there will be found no material difference between the event itself and his idea of it.

二、探究者若对所期待的事件作了周详的探求，事件本身与他对它的设想之间，便不会有实质的差别。

III. Whosoever may be adapted to any particular event or pursuit, will assuredly have the star indicative thereof very potent in his nativity.

三、凡适合于某一特定事件或行当的人，他的本命里必定有那颗表示此事的星极为有力。

IV. A mind apt in knowledge will discover truth more readily than one practised in the highest branches of science.

四、善于求知的心灵，比钻研过最高深学问的人，更容易发现真相。

V. A skilful person, acquainted with the nature of the stars, is enabled to avert many of their effects, and to prepare himself for those effects before they arrive.

五、通晓诸星本性的高明之人，能够避开它们的许多作用，并在这些作用到来之前预作准备。

VI. It is advantageous to make choice of days and hours at a time well constituted by the nativity. Should the time be adverse, the choice will in no respect avail, however favourable an issue it may chance to promise.

六、在本命所示的良好时期里择日择时，是有益的。若时运不利，所择的时刻便毫无用处，无论它看来许诺了多么好的结果。

VII. The mingled influences of the stars can be understood by no one who has not previously acquired knowledge of the combinations and varieties existing in nature.

七、诸星交融的影响，若不先了解自然界中存在的种种组合与变化，便无人能够明白。

VIII. A sagacious mind improves the operation of the heavens, as a skilful farmer, by cultivation, improves nature.

八、明智的心灵能改善天的作用，正如高明的农夫以耕作改善自然。

IX. In their generation and corruption forms are influenced by the celestial forms, of which the framers of talismans consequently avail themselves, by observing the ingresses of the stars thereupon.

九、万物之形在生成与败坏之中受天上诸形的影响，制作护符的人因此加以利用，观察诸星进入这些天形的时刻。

X. In the election of days and hours, make use of the malefics, to the same moderate extent as the skilful physician would use poisons in order to perform cures.

十、择日择时，使用凶星要有分寸，正如高明的医生为治病而使用毒药一样。

XI. A day and hour are not to be elected until the quality of the object proposed shall be known.

十一、在弄清所要做之事的性质以前，不可择定日子与时辰。

XII. Love and hatred prohibit the true accomplishment of judgments; and, inasmuch as they lessen the most important, so likewise they magnify the most trivial things.

十二、爱与恨妨碍判断的真确：它们既会把最重要的事看轻，也会把最琐碎的事夸大。

XIII. In every indication made by the constitution of the heavens, secondary stars, whether auxiliary or injurious thereto, are also to be used.

十三、天象构成所显示的每一种征兆里，次要的诸星，无论对它是助益还是伤害，也都要用上。

XIV. The astrologer will be entangled in a labyrinth of error, when the seventh house and its lord shall be afflicted.

十四、当第七位及其主星受损时，占星家将陷入错误的迷宫。

XV. Signs cadent from the ascendant of any kingdom are the ascendants of that kingdom's enemies. But the angles and succedent houses are the ascendants of its friends. It is the same in all doctrines and institutions.

十五、从一国的上升星座看去落在果宫的星座，是该国敌人的上升；而四角与续宫的星座，是它朋友的上升。一切学说与制度也都是如此。

XVI. When the benefics may be controlled in the eighth house, they bring mischief by means of good men: if, on the other hand, they be well affected, they will prevent mischief.

十六、吉星若在第八位受制，会借好人之手带来祸害；反之，它们若状况良好，便能防止祸害。

XVII. Give no judgment as to the future life of an aged person, until the number of years he may live shall have been reckoned.

十七、对老年人的余生不要下判断，要先算出他还能活多少年。

XVIII. If, while a benefic may ascend, both the luminaries should be in the same minute, the native will be equally and highly prosperous in all things which can befall him. So, likewise, if the luminaries be mutually opposed by the east and west. But the contrary effect will be produced, should a malefic be on the ascendant.

十八、若有吉星正在上升，而两光又同在一分之内，命主在一切可能遇到的事上都会同样极为兴旺。若两光分处东西、彼此对冲，也是如此。但若有凶星在上升点，结果便相反。

XIX. The efficacy of purgation is impeded by the Moon's conjunction with Jupiter.

十九、月亮与木星会合，会阻碍泻药的功效。

XX. Pierce not with iron that part of the body which may be governed by the sign actually occupied by the Moon.

二十、月亮当时所在的星座主管身体的哪个部位，就不要用铁器刺那个部位。

XXI. When the Moon may be in Scorpio or Pisces, purgation may be advantageously used, provided the lord of the ascendant be coupled with some star posited below the earth. If he be coupled with a star placed above the earth, the potion swallowed will be vomited up.

二十一、月亮在天蝎或双鱼时，用泻药有益，但上升点的主星须与某颗位于地平线下的星相结合；若与地平线上的星相结合，喝下的药会被吐出来。

XXII. Neither put on nor lay aside any garment for the first time, when the Moon may be located in Leo. And it will be still worse to do so, should she be badly affected.

二十二、月亮在狮子时，不要初次穿上或脱下任何衣服；她若再受损，就更糟。

XXIII. Aspects between the Moon and stars give the native much activity; and, if the stars be in power, they indicate an efficient, but if weak an inert, excitation to action.

二十三、月亮与诸星的相位使命主多有作为；那些星若有力，表示有成效的行动激励，若虚弱，则是迟钝无力的激励。

XXIV. An eclipse of the luminaries, if in the angles of the nativity, or of an annual revolution, is noxious; and the effects take place according to the space between the ascendant and the place of eclipse. And as, in a solar eclipse, a year is reckoned for an hour, so likewise, in a lunar eclipse, a month is reckoned for an hour.

二十四、两光的交食若落在本命盘或年度回归盘的四角，便是有害的；其效应按上升点与交食之处的距离而发生。日食以一小时折算一年，月食则以一小时折算一个月。

XXV. The progression of a significator, posited in the mid-heaven, is to be made by right ascension; of another posited in the ascendant, by the oblique ascension of the particular latitude.

二十五、位于中天的征象星，其推进按赤经计算；位于上升点的，则按当地纬度的斜升计算。

XXVI. There is obvious concealment in the case, if the star significative of any particular affair be in conjunction with the Sun, either under the earth or in a place foreign to its own nature. On the other hand, there is manifestation, should the star be raised to elevation out of its depression, and be located in its own place.

二十六、表示某事的星若与太阳会合，无论在地平线下，还是在与其本性不合之处，事情便明显被隐藏；反之，若那颗星从低落处升到高处，又位于自己的位置，事情便会显露。

XXVII. Venus gives pleasure to the native in that part of the body which may be ruled by the sign she occupies. It is the same with other stars.

二十七、金星使命主在她所在星座所主的身体部位上得到快乐。其余诸星也是一样。

XXVIII. When the Moon may not hold a familiarity with two planets, as is desirable, care should be taken to connect her, if possible, with some fixed star combining their qualities.

二十八、若月亮不能如所希望的那样与两颗行星相亲，便当设法使她与某颗兼具两者性质的恒星相连。

XXIX. The fixed stars grant extremely good fortune, unconnected with the understanding; but it is most commonly marked by calamities, unless the planets also agree in the felicity.

二十九、恒星赐予极大的好运，却与人的才智无关；但这种好运多半以灾祸为结局，除非诸行星也一同应许这份福分。

XXX. Observe the creation of the first king of any dynasty; for if the ascendant at that creation should agree with the ascendant of the nativity of the king's son, he will succeed his father.

三十、要观察一个王朝第一位君王的立位之时；若那时的上升点与王子本命的上升点相合，王子便会继承父位。

XXXI. When the star ruling over any kingdom shall enter into a climacterical place, either the king, or some one of the chief men of his kingdom, will die.

三十一、主管某国的星进入关口之位时，国王或国中某位重臣将会死去。

XXXII. Concord between two persons is produced by an harmonious figuration of the stars, indicative of the matter whereby good will is constituted, in the nativity of either person.

三十二、两人之间的和睦，来自双方本命中表示善意所由建立之事的诸星，彼此构成和谐的格局。

XXXIII. Love and hatred are discernible, as well from the concord and discord of the luminaries, as from the ascendants of both nativities: but obeying signs increase good will.

三十三、爱与恨可以从两光的相谐与不谐看出，也可以从两张本命盘的上升点看出；而服从星座会增进善意。

XXXIV. If the lord of the place of the new Moon be in an angle, he is indicative of the events liable to happen in that month.

三十四、新月所在之处的主星若居四角，便表示那个月可能发生的事件。

XXXV. When the Sun arrives at the place of any star, he excites the influence of that star in the atmosphere.

三十五、太阳来到任何一颗星的位置时，便在大气中激发那颗星的影响。

XXXVI. In the foundation of cities, consider the fixed stars which may seem to contribute thereto; but in the erection of houses, observe the planets. The kings of every city which has Mars in culmination will most commonly perish by the sword.

三十六、建城时，要考虑看来对它有所助益的恒星；建屋时，则要观察行星。凡是火星居中天的城市，其君王多半死于刀剑。

XXXVII. If Virgo or Pisces be on the ascendant, the native will create his own dignity; but if Aries or Libra is on the ascendant, he will cause his own death. The other signs are to be contemplated in the same way.

三十七、若处女或双鱼在上升点，命主将自己造就自己的尊荣；若白羊或天秤在上升点，他将招致自己的死亡。其余星座也照此类推。

XXXVIII. Mercury, if established in either house of Saturn, and in power, gives the native a speculative and inquisitive intellect: if in a house of Mars, and especially if in Aries, he gives eloquence.

三十八、水星若落在土星的任一个庙里，又有力，便赋予命主好思辨、好探究的心智；若在火星的庙里，尤其在白羊，则赋予口才。

XXXIX. Affliction of the eleventh house, in the creation of a king, indicates damage in his household and his treasury: affliction of the second house denotes the detriment of his subject's wealth.

三十九、君王即位之时，第十一位受损，表示他的宫室与府库将受损失；第二位受损，表示他臣民的财富受损。

XL. When the ascendant is oppressed by the malefics, the native will delight in sordid things, and approve ill-favoured odours.

四十、上升点受凶星压迫时，命主会喜好污秽之物，也喜欢难闻的气味。

XLI. Beware the affliction of the eighth house and its lord, at a time of departure; and that of the second house and its lord, at a time of return.

四十一、出发之时，要提防第八位及其主星受损；归来之时，要提防第二位及其主星受损。

XLII. Should a disease begin when the Moon may be in a sign occupied at the birth by some malefic, or in quartile or opposition to any such sign, such disease will be most severe; and if the malefic also behold the said sign, it will be dangerous. On the other hand, there will be no danger if the Moon be in a place held at the time of birth by some benefic.

四十二、若疾病开始时，月亮正在本命时某颗凶星所在的星座，或在与该星座成四分、对冲的地方，病会极重；若那颗凶星也照着这个星座，便有危险。反之，若月亮在本命时某颗吉星所在之处，便无危险。

XLIII. The malefic figures of a nation are strengthened by adverse figurations of existing times.

四十三、一个民族的凶险格局，会因当下时运的不利格局而加强。

XLIV. It is an evil case if the ascendant of a sick person resist the figuration of his own nativity; and if the time should not bring up any benefic.

四十四、病人的上升点若与他本命的格局相抵触，而时运又没有带上任何吉星，情形便不妙。

XLV. If the ascendant, or principal significators, be not in human signs, the native himself will be also estranged from human nature.

四十五、上升点或主要的征象星若不在人形星座，命主本人也会疏离人性。

XLVI. In nativities much happiness is conferred by the fixed stars; and also by the angles of the new Moon, and by the place of a kingdom's Part of Fortune, should the ascendant be found in any of them.

四十六、在本命中，恒星能赐予极大的幸福；新月的四角，以及一国福点所在之处，也能如此——只要上升点正落在其中之一。

XLVII. If a malefic in one nativity fall on the place of a benefic in another nativity, he who has the benefic will suffer damage from him who has the malefic.

四十七、若一人本命里的凶星落在另一人本命里吉星的位置上，拥有吉星的那人会受拥有凶星者的损害。

XLVIII. If the mid-heaven of a prince be the ascendant of his subject, or if their respective significators be configurated in a benevolent form, they will continue long inseparable. It will be the same, also, should the sixth house of a subject or servant be the ascendant of his prince or master.

四十八、若君主的中天是其臣属的上升点，或双方的征象星以吉善的形式成格局，他们将长久不相分离。臣属或仆人的第六位若是其君主或主人的上升点，也是如此。

XLIX. If the ascendant of a servant be the mid-heaven in his master's nativity, the master will place so much confidence in that servant as to be ruled by him.

四十九、若仆人的上升点是主人本命的中天，主人会信任这仆人到受其支配的地步。

L. Overlook none of the hundred and nineteen conjunctions; for on them depends the knowledge of worldly operations, whether of generation or of corruption.

五十、一百一十九种会合一种也不要忽略；因为对世间运作的认识，无论是生成还是败坏，都取决于它们。

LI. Make the sign occupied by the Moon at the time of birth the sign ascending at the conception; and consider that in which she may be posited at the conception, or the opposite one, as the sign ascending at the birth.

五十一、把降生时月亮所在的星座作为受孕时的上升星座；并把受孕时月亮所在的星座，或其对面的星座，作为降生时的上升星座。

LII. Men of tall stature have their lords of nativity in elevation, and their ascendants in the beginnings of signs; but the lords of men of short stature will be found in declination. It must also be seen whether the signs be right or oblique.

五十二、身材高大的人，其命主位于高处，上升点在星座的起始部分；身材矮小的人，其命主则在低落之处。还须看那些星座是正升还是斜升。

LIII. The lords of nativity of slight or thin men have no latitude, but those of stout or fat men have; and, if the latitude be south, the native will be active; if north, inactive.

五十三、瘦弱之人的命主没有纬度，肥壮之人的命主则有；纬度若在南，命主好动；若在北，则不好动。

LIV. In the construction of a building, the principal rulers, if coupled with a star below the earth, will impede the erection.

五十四、营造建筑时，主要的主星若与地平线下的某颗星相结合，便会阻碍建成。

LV. Mars' evil influence over ships is diminished if he be neither in the mid-heaven nor in the eleventh house; but if in either of those places, he renders the ship liable to be captured by pirates. And if the ascendant be afflicted by any fixed star of the nature of Mars, the ship will be burned.

五十五、火星对船只的恶劣影响，若它既不在中天、也不在第十一位，便会减轻；若在这两处之一，船便容易被海盗劫持。若上升点又受某颗火星性质的恒星所损，船将被焚。

LVI. While the Moon is in her first quarter, withdrawing from her conjunction with the Sun, the bodily humours expand until her second quarter: in her other quarters they decrease.

五十六、月亮在她的第一个四分之一、离开与太阳的会合时，身体的体液扩张，直到她的第二个四分之一为止；在她的其余几个四分之一里，体液减少。

LVII. If, during a sickness, the seventh house and its lord be afflicted, change the physician.

五十七、患病期间，若第七位及其主星受损，就换医生。

LVIII. Observe the place of an aspect, and its distance from the ascendant of the year; for the event will happen when the profection may arrive thither.

五十八、观察某一相位的所在及其与年度上升点的距离；推年推到那里时，事件便会发生。

LIX. Before pronouncing that an absent person shall die, observe whether he may not become intoxicated; before declaring that he shall receive a wound, see whether he may not be let blood; and before saying that he shall find treasure, examine whether he may not receive his own deposit; for the figures of all these things may be similar.

五十九、在断言出门在外的人将死之前，先看他是否只是会喝醉；在宣称他将受伤之前，先看他是否只是会被放血；在说他会找到财宝之前，先查看他是否只是会收回自己寄存的东西；因为这些事的星象可能相似。

LX. In cases of sickness, observe the critical days, and the Moon's progress in the angles of a figure of sixteen sides. If those angles be well affected, it is favourable for the invalid; if they be afflicted, unfavourable.

六十、疾病之中，要观察危象之日，以及月亮在十六边形各角上的推进；那些角若状况良好，对病人有利；若受损，则不利。

LXI. The Moon is significative of bodily matters, which, in respect of motion, resemble her.

六十一、月亮表示身体方面的事，这些事在运动上与她相似。

LXII. By marking exactly the beginning of a conjunction, judgment may be made of the variation of the weather in the ensuing month. It will depend upon the lord of the angle of every figure, for he controls the nature of the atmosphere; assuming also at these times the quality of the existing weather.

六十二、准确标出会合开始的时刻，便可判断随后一个月天气的变化。这取决于每张盘的角宫之主，因为它掌控大气的性质；同时也要参照这些时候现有天气的性质。

LXIII. In the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, pronounce according to the nature of that one which may be higher in elevation. Follow the same rule with other stars.

六十三、土星与木星会合时，按两者中位置较高那一颗的本性来断。其他诸星也照此规则。

LXIV. After ascertaining the lord of the inquiry, see what power he may have in the annual revolution, or in the ascendant of the new Moon; and pronounce accordingly.

六十四、确定了所问之事的主星后，看它在年度回归盘或新月的上升盘中有何力量，据此宣断。

LXV. In the least conjunction, the difference of the mean conjunction, and in the mean conjunction the difference of the greatest conjunction.

六十五、在最小的会合里，看中等会合的差别；在中等会合里，看最大会合的差别。

LXVI. Consider no profection by itself alone, but make reference also to the qualifications and impediments of the stars.

六十六、任何推年都不要单独考量，还要参照诸星的资质与阻碍。

LXVII. Years are diminished by the imbecility of the receiver.

六十七、接收者虚弱，寿数便会减少。

LXVIII. A malefic, when matutine, signifies an accident; when vespertine, a disease.

六十八、凶星清晨出现时，表示意外伤损；黄昏出现时，表示疾病。

LXIX. The native's sight will be impaired if the Moon be opposed to the Sun, and joined with nebulous stars; and if the Moon be in the western angle, and both the malefic stars in the eastern angle, the Sun being in an angle also, the native will become blind.

六十九、若月亮与太阳对冲，又与云雾状的星相合，命主的视力将受损；若月亮在西方之角，两颗凶星都在东方之角，而太阳也在某个角上，命主将会失明。

LXX. Insanity is produced if the Moon have no connection with Mercury; and, if neither of them be connected with the ascendant, Saturn being in occupation of the angle by night, but Mars by day, especially if in Cancer, Virgo, or Pisces, a dæmoniac affection will be produced.

七十、若月亮与水星没有联系，会产生疯癫；若两者都与上升点没有联系，而夜间土星、白天火星占据角宫，尤其在巨蟹、处女或双鱼，便会产生邪灵附身之病。

LXXI. If both luminaries may be in masculine signs, in the nativities of males, their actions will be consonant with nature; but if so placed in the nativities of females, they increase their action. And Mars and Venus, if matutine, incline to the masculine gender; if vespertine, to the feminine.

七十一、两光若都在阳性星座，在男子的本命中，其行为合乎本性；但在女子的本命中，则使她们的行为过度。火星与金星若是清晨的，偏向阳性；若是黄昏的，偏向阴性。

LXXII. Matters of education are to be considered by the ascending lords of triplicity; matters of life, by the lords of the conditionary luminary's triplicity.

七十二、教养之事，看上升点的三方主；生命之事，看当令之光所在三方的三方主。

LXXIII. If the Sun be found with the Gorgon's head (Caput Medusæ), and not aspected by any benefic star, and if there be no benefic present in the eighth house, and the lord of the conditionary luminary be opposed to Mars, or in quartile to him, the native will be beheaded. If the luminary culminate, his body will be maimed or mangled; and if the aspect in quartile be from Gemini or Pisces, his hands and feet will be amputated.

七十三、若太阳与戈尔贡之首（美杜莎之首）同在，又不受任何吉星照看，第八位也没有吉星，而当令之光的主星与火星对冲或成四分，命主将被斩首。若那颗光体居中天，他的身体会被肢解或砍伤；若四分相来自双子或双鱼，他的手脚将被截去。

LXXIV. Mars, if ascending, uniformly gives a scar in the face.

七十四、火星若正上升，总是在面部留下疤痕。

LXXV. If the Sun be in conjunction with the lord of the ascendant, in Leo, and Mars have no prerogative in the ascendant, and if there be no benefic in the eighth house, the native will be burned.

七十五、若太阳在狮子与上升点的主星会合，火星在上升点又无权位，而第八位没有吉星，命主将被火烧死。

LXXVI. If Saturn hold the mid-heaven, and the conditionary luminary be opposed to him, the native will perish in the ruins of buildings, provided the sign on the lower heaven be an earthly sign; if it be a watery sign, he will be drowned or suffocated by water: if a human sign, he will be strangled by men, or will perish by the halter or the scourge. Should there, however, be a benefic in the eighth house, he will not suffer death, although he will be brought near it.

七十六、若土星占据中天，当令之光与之对冲，而天底的星座是土象星座，命主将死于房屋倒塌；若是水象星座，他将溺死或被水窒息；若是人形星座，他将被人勒死，或死于绞索或鞭刑。然而若第八位有吉星，他不会死，只是会濒临死亡。

LXXVII. Profection of the ascendant is to be made for matters affecting the body; of the Part of Fortune, for extrinsic circumstances; of the Moon, for the connection between the body and the spirit; and of the mid-heaven, for the employment or profession.

七十七、关乎身体的事，以上升点推年；外在境遇，以福点推年；身体与灵魂的联结，以月亮推年；职事或行业，以中天推年。

LXXVIII. A star often dispenses influence in a place in which it has no prerogative, thus bringing unexpected advantage to the native.

七十八、一颗星常常在它没有权位之处施予影响，从而给命主带来意外的好处。

LXXIX. Whoever has Mars in the eleventh house, does not govern his master.

七十九、凡火星在第十一位的人，管不住他的主人。

LXXX. If Venus be in conjunction with Saturn, and have any lord of house in the seventh house, the native will be of spurious origin.

八十、若金星与土星会合，而第七位里有某个庙主，命主的出身不正。

LXXXI. Times are reckoned in seven ways; viz. by the space between two significators; by the space between their mutual aspects; by the approach of one to the other; by the space between either of them and the place appropriated to the proposed event; by the descension of a star, with its addition or diminution; by the changing of a significator; and by the approach of a planet to its place.

八十一、计算时间有七种方法：即两个征象星之间的距离；它们彼此相位之间的距离；一者趋近另一者；任一者与所论之事的专属之处之间的距离；一颗星的沉没，及其增减；征象星的变换；以及一颗行星趋近它的位置。

LXXXII. When a figure may be equipoised, observe the horoscope (or figure) at the new or full moon, and, if that also be equipoised, be not hasty in giving judgment.

八十二、若一张盘势均力敌，便观察新月或满月时的天宫图；若那张也势均力敌，就不要急于下判断。

LXXXIII. The time of obtaining a grant indicates the affection between the applicant and his prince; but the seat shows the nature of the office;--

八十三、取得封赐的时刻，显示申请者与君主之间的情谊；而所在之位显示官职的性质；——

LXXXIV. And if Mars be lord of the ascendant at the time of entering on possession, and posited in the second house, or coupled with the lord of the second, he brings much mischief.

八十四、在就任之时，若火星是上升点的主星，而位于第二位，或与第二位的主星相结合，便会带来许多祸害。

LXXXV. Should the lord of the ascendant be configurated with the lord of the second house, the prince will spontaneously create many charges.

八十五、若上升点的主星与第二位的主星成格局，君主会主动设立许多职责。

LXXXVI. The Sun is the source of the vital power; the Moon, of the natural power.

八十六、太阳是生命之力的源头；月亮是自然之力的源头。

LXXXVII. Monthly revolutions are made in twenty-eight days, two hours and about eighteen minutes. Judgment is also made by some persons by means of the Sun's progress; that is to say, by his partial equations to that degree and minute which he might hold at the beginning.

八十七、月度回归以二十八天两小时又约十八分钟为一周。也有人借太阳的行进来作判断，即按他的分段均差，推到他起初所在的那一度那一分。

LXXXVIII. In making profection of the part of Fortune for a whole annual revolution, a space equal to that between the Sun and Moon is to be reckoned from the ascendant.

八十八、为整个年度回归推算福点时，要从上升点量出与太阳到月亮相等的距离。

LXXXIX. Consider the grandfather's affairs from the seventh house and the uncle's from the sixth.

八十九、祖父之事看第七位，叔伯之事看第六位。

XC. Should the significator be in aspect to the ascendant, the hidden event or object will correspond in its nature with the ascendant; but if the ascendant be not so aspected, the nature of the event will accord with that of the place in which the significator is posited. The lord of the hour shows its colour; the place of the Moon its time; and, if above the earth, it will be a novel thing; if below, old. The part of Fortune indicates its quantity, whether long or short. The lords of the terms, and of the lower heaven and mid-heaven, and of the Moon, shows its substance or value.

九十、征象星若与上升点成相位，隐藏的事或物在性质上与上升点相应；上升点若不受其照看，事情的性质便合乎征象星所在之位。时辰之主显示它的颜色；月亮所在显示它的时期，若在地平线上，是新的东西，若在地平线下，是旧的。福点显示它的大小，是长是短。界主、天底与中天之主、月亮之主，显示它的材质或价值。

XCI. Should the ruler of a sick person be combust, it is an evil portent; and especially if the part of Fortune be afflicted.

九十一、病人的主星若焦伤，是凶兆；福点也受损时尤甚。

XCII. Saturn, if oriental, is not so highly noxious to a sick person; nor Mars, if occidental.

九十二、土星若东出，对病人害处不那么大；火星若西入，也是如此。

XCIII. Judgment is not to be drawn from any figure until the next conjunction shall have been considered: for principles are varied by every conjunction; and therefore, to avoid error, both the last and the next should be combined.

九十三、在考虑下一次会合之前，不要从任何一张盘下判断；因为每一次会合都使原有的局面变化；所以为免出错，上一次与下一次都应合起来看。

XCIV. The place of the more potent significator indicates the thoughts of the inquirer.

九十四、较有力的征象星所在之处，显示问卜者的心思。

XCV. The stars rising with the tenth house prove how far the native may be fitted to the occupation which he follows.

九十五、与第十位一同升起的诸星，证明命主适合于他所从事的行业到什么程度。

XCVI. In an eclipse, such significations as are made nearest the angles, show the events decreed. The nature of the stars in accordance with the eclipse, planets as well as fixed stars, and also the appearances co-ascending, are likewise to be considered, and judgment is to be given accordingly.

九十六、交食时，在最接近四角之处所作的征象，显示注定的事件。与交食相应的诸星——行星以及恒星——的本性，还有一同升起的天象，也都要考虑，并据此下判断。

XCVII. The event inquired about will be speedily accomplished, should the lord of the new or full Moon be in an angle.

九十七、新月或满月的主星若在四角，所问之事会很快成就。

XCVIII. Shooting stars, and meteors like flowing hair, bear a secondary part in judgments.

九十八、流星，以及如飘发般的火流星，在判断中只居次要地位。

XCIX. Shooting stars denote the dryness of the air; and, if they are projected to one part only, they indicate wind therefrom: if to various parts, they indicate diminution of waters, a turbulent atmosphere, and incursions of armies.

九十九、流星表示空气干燥；若都射向同一方，表示风从那一方来；若射向各方，表示水源减少、大气动荡、敌军入侵。

C. If comets, whose distance is eleven signs behind the Sun, appear in angles, the king of some kingdom, or one of the princes or chief men of a kingdom, will die. If in a succedent house, the affairs of the kingdom's treasury will prosper, but the governor or ruler will be changed. If in a cadent house, there will be diseases and sudden deaths. And if comets be in motion from the west towards the east, a foreign foe will invade the country: if not in motion, the foe will be provincial, or domestic.

一百、若彗星距太阳十一个星座之后，出现在四角，某国的国王，或某国的一位王公重臣将会死去。若在续宫，国库之事兴旺，但统治者或主政者将更换。若在果宫，将有疾病与暴死。若彗星从西向东移动，外敌将入侵该国；若不移动，敌人是本省的或国内的。
