卷二·第三十三至三十五章　父母分离、自由与奴役、月亮诸相

XXXIII. On the Separation of Parents.

第三十三章　论父母分离。

Mars and Saturn, intercepting the luminaries, or falling between the signs that have received them, or between them with their rays, separate the parents. When, of the luminaries, the one of the sect has fallen out of the favourable places, while the one contrary to the sect is present with a destructive planet, it separates the parents. Saturn lying with the Sun while the Moon is estranged separates the parents. If the lord of the Ascendant is productive while the Ascendant is afflicted and its co-ruler has fallen out of the favourable places, the parents of these natives will be separated, the native himself will be very unsettled and unfortunate, and the parents' affairs will be diminished. The parents are in harmony when the luminaries and their rulers are in harmony with one another. When the receiver of the Sun is in harmony with the Moon, and that of the Moon with the Sun, the parents are in harmony.

火星与土星居间截断两光，或落在接纳两光的那些星座之间，或以它们的光线落在两光之间，就使父母分离。两光之中，当令的那一颗已失位，而与本方相悖的那一颗与毁坏之星同在时，就使父母分离。土星与太阳同在而月亮疏离时，使父母分离。若上升点之主得力，而上升点受损，它的共主星又已失位，这些本命者的父母就会分离，本命者自己也会非常动荡、不幸，父母的家业也会减损。当两光与它们的主星彼此和谐时，父母就和睦。当太阳的接纳之星与月亮和谐，月亮的接纳之星与太阳和谐时，父母就和睦。

Whichever of the luminaries lies contrary to its sect, or is rejected by a destructive planet, or has it upon the tenth from itself and applies to it, or is opposed by it, whichever is first carried to the setting, or whichever's place is in worse condition, will die first. If the Moon is waxing and the nativity is conjunctional, and one of the destructive planets regards the first full moon, then, if this happens in a feminine sign, it will show the prior death of the mother, and in a masculine sign that of the father. If the nativity is a full-moon nativity, the coming conjunction must be examined; if a malefic regards it in a feminine sign, the mother will die first; and if the Sun, the father. If the Sun happens to be in the hemisphere below the earth, the father will for the most part die abroad. When Saturn is separating from an angle, if Mars comes upon it and one of them testifies to Jupiter or to the Sun, the father will die abroad. If, when the nativity is diurnal, the Moon is afflicted above the earth, or when the Moon is cadent a destructive planet comes upon her, or the same afflictions befall Venus, the mother will die first. If the ruler of the Sun and the Sun do not see the Ascendant, the father will die abroad. When the Sun is afflicted by a destructive planet and Jupiter is overcome, the father will die a violent death. If Saturn alone afflicts the planets mentioned, the causes of death are chokings, dropsies, fluxes, chills, the drinking of poisons, shipwrecks, or old affairs; if Mars alone afflicts them, cutting with iron, bites, excess of blood, miscarriage, premature birth, burning, or falls; and if both, the violence is worse, according to the combination of the inclination that applies.

两光之中，哪一颗与本方相悖，或被毁坏之星排斥，或有它居于自己起算的第十位上并与它入相，或被它对冲，哪一颗先被带到下降之处，或哪一颗的位置情形更坏，哪一颗就先亡。若月亮在盈长而本命是合朔之命，又有某颗毁坏之星照看第一次望月，那么，若这发生在阴性星座，就显示母亲先亡，在阳性星座则父亲先亡。若本命是望月之命，就必须查看将要到来的合朔；若有凶星在阴性星座照看它，母亲先亡；若是太阳，则父亲先亡。若太阳恰好在地下的半球，父亲多半会死在异乡。当土星正离开一个角时，若火星来到其上，而其中一颗为木星或太阳作见证，父亲会死在异乡。若本命是昼生，月亮在地上受损，或月亮在果宫时有毁坏之星来到她之上，或金星遭受同样的侵害，母亲先亡。若太阳之主与太阳都看不见上升点，父亲会死在异乡。当太阳受毁坏之星侵害而木星被压制时，父亲会横死。若只有土星侵害上面所说的行星，死因是窒息、水肿、流液、受寒、服毒、船难，或旧日的事；若只有火星侵害它们，是铁器割伤、咬伤、血液过多、流产、早产、火烧或坠落；若两者都侵害，暴力就更重，按所施加的倾向的组合而定。

XXXIV. On Free and Servile Nativities.

第三十四章　论自由之命与奴役之命。

Nativities that differ in birth, both servile and well-born, are grasped from the phases of the nativity. For if the sign of the phase or the lord of the sign falls out of the favourable places or is viewed by malefics, natives will be of lower birth, or, even having come into glory and trust, they will be brought down; but if the phase is found angular and its lord receives testimony from benefics, they will be well-born and glorious. If the place happens to be in productive signs while the lord falls out of the favourable places or is viewed by malefics, natives born free or well brought up will be overturned by adversities, subjections, and want. If the lord is found in productive signs while the place falls out of the favourable places, natives will suffer in their early years in subjections and, having been carried [lacuna], will later come into freedom, advancement, and family, and will prosper and be glorified, especially if benefics also incline toward them. If both the place and the lord fall out of the favourable places and both are viewed by malefics, natives become exposed infants or captives and will have experience of subjection; but if, while this is so, benefics are also added or testify along with them, after the periods of the malefics they will be released from subjection and come into wealth. If the place is guarded by malefics and the lord by benefics, natives born to servitude will be brought up as free, or will pass into being substituted as children and into adoption; conversely, if the place is guarded by benefics and the ruler by malefics, natives born free will be brought up into slavery, or, having reached the full height of their prime, will give themselves up to subjection, either through lack of sustenance or for the sake of a trust or an undertaking.

出身不同的本命，无论是屈从的还是出身良好的，都从本命的相态来把握。因为若相态所在的星座或那个星座之主已失位，或被凶星观照，本命者出身就较低，或者即使已获得荣耀与信任，也会被拉下来；但若相态被发现居角，它的主又受吉星的见证，他们就出身良好而荣耀。若这个位置恰好在得力的星座，而它的主已失位或被凶星观照，生而自由或教养良好的本命者，会被逆境、屈从与匮乏所颠覆。若主星被发现在得力的星座，而位置已失位，本命者早年会在屈从中受苦，被带到〔此处原文有缺〕之后，后来会进入自由、晋升与家族之中，富足而得荣耀，尤其当吉星也倾向他们时。若位置与主星都已失位，又都被凶星观照，本命者会成为弃婴或俘虏，经历屈从；但若在这种情形下，又有吉星加入或一同作见证，在凶星的时期过后，他们会从屈从中获释，进入富足。若位置受凶星守护、主星受吉星守护，生为奴仆的本命者会被当作自由人养大，或转入冒认为子女与收养之中；反过来，若位置受吉星守护而主星受凶星守护，生而自由的本命者会被养入奴役，或在达到盛年的顶点后，把自己交给屈从，或是因为缺乏生计，或是为了一份信任或一桩营生。

XXXV. Eleven Configurations of the Moon with Respect to the Powers of Effects.

第三十五章　月亮的十一种格局，与效应的力量。

By the natural reckoning the configurations of the Moon are 7, but, as we have also found in other writers, 11: first the conjunction; second the rising; then, having moved 45 degrees away from the Sun, she makes the crescent phase; then up to 90 degrees the half-moon; then up to 135 degrees the gibbous; then up to 180 degrees the full moon; then, having moved 45 degrees away from the full moon, that is, up to 225, she makes the second gibbous; then up to 270 degrees the second half-moon; then up to 360 the setting. She also has another configuration, when she first begins to wane.

按自然的算法，月亮的格局有七种，但正如我们在别的作者那里也看到的，有十一种：第一是合朔；第二是升起；然后离开太阳四十五度，形成眉月之相；然后到九十度为半月；然后到一百三十五度为凸月；然后到一百八十度为望月；然后离开望月四十五度，即到二百二十五度，形成第二凸月；然后到二百七十度为第二半月；然后到三百六十度为沉没。她还有另一种格局，就是她开始亏缺的时候。

What Each Phase Signifies and What Effect It Has.

各相象征什么，有何效应。

We shall set out below how the configurations set out above are taken for the writing of effects, and to which god each belongs. The conjunction shows matters of glory and power, of royal and tyrannical dispositions, of all public affairs belonging to cities, of parents, marriages, and mysteries, and of all general and cosmic matters; and so likewise does the lord of the conjunction, of the latitude, and of the course. The rising of the Moon, which is also called the light, and its lord are significant for the topic of life and of action and of future substance, and confirm the matters of the conjunction. And just as the monthly and cosmic movements are observed from the first appearance, so the lord of the light shows the general effects; Mercury also shares in the strength up to the 4th day of the Moon. The crescent configuration signifies upbringing and the hopes of life, and matters concerning women and the mother; Mercury is strong up to the 8th. The half-moon configuration concerns injury and suffering and violent events, and further children, rank, and future goods; Venus is configured with it until the 12th day. The gibbous phase concerns happiness and future advancement, travel, and the sympathy of kin; the Sun is likened to it until the 14th day. The full moon concerns glory and lack of glory, travel, violent events, those who fall from eminence and those who grow from the least beginnings, sympathies and sufferings, political rivalries, and the sympathy of parents; it also has the colour of the setting sign. The first lord of the waning of the light concerns the diminution of possessions, the cooling of activity, things that come to humiliation, and sudden falls; it is equal in power to the place that follows the setting; Mars is lord up to the 21st day of the Moon. The second gibbous signifies residence abroad, greater undertakings, and happiness; it is equal in power to the god; Jupiter is lord until the Moon is 25 days old. The second half-moon concerns old affairs, long-lasting sufferings, and children; for Saturn is equal to it in power until the 30th day. The lord of the crescent signifies the death of a wife, inactivity, or plunder; that is, the setting [text uncertain] concerns bonds, confinements, hidden matters, condemnation, and dishonour. Such, then, is the order of the configurations of the Moon; but what is compared with the 5 gods and the Sun [text uncertain] in unbound angles.

我们下面要列出，上面所列的诸格局在写作效应时怎样取用，各属于哪一位神。合朔显示荣耀与权力之事，王者与僭主的处置，属于城邦的一切公共事务，父母、婚姻与秘仪，以及一切普遍的、世运的事；合朔之主、黄纬之主与行程之主也同样如此。月亮的升起，也称为「光」，与它的主一起，对于生命、事业与未来的根基这一论题有所象征，并确证合朔之事。正如每月的运势与世运要从初见来观察，光之主也显示总的效应；水星也同享力量，直到月亮第四日。眉月的格局象征教养与一生的希望，以及关于女人与母亲的事；水星的力量到第八日。半月的格局关乎伤损、病苦与暴力之事，又关乎子女、地位与未来的好事；金星与它成格局，直到第十二日。凸月之相关乎幸福与未来的晋升、出行，以及亲属的感应；太阳与它相似，直到第十四日。望月关乎荣耀与无荣、出行、暴力之事，关乎从显要之位跌落的人与从最小的起点成长的人，关乎感应与病苦、城邦中的对立，以及父母的感应；它也带有下降星座的色彩。光亏缺时的第一位主，关乎家产的减少、作为的冷却、走向屈辱之事与突然的跌倒；它与下降之后的位置等力；火星为主，直到月亮第二十一日。第二凸月象征客居异乡、更大的事业与幸福；它与「神」等力；木星为主，直到月亮满二十五日。第二半月关乎旧日的事、长久的病苦与子女；因为土星与它等力，直到第三十日。眉月之主象征妻子之死、无所作为或劫掠；也就是说，沉没〔原文疑有讹误〕关乎束缚、拘禁、隐秘之事、定罪与耻辱。月亮诸格局的次序就是这样；但与五位神及太阳相比较的〔原文疑有讹误〕在不受束缚的角上。

Wishing to set out the demonstrations of the methods more concisely, declining wordiness and mythical sorcery, I have put the chief points themselves before those who are most zealous in such matters and have spent long time on many procedures, and who are able by their own ingenuity to contribute as much. For I think I shall persuade them, through what has been written and what is yet to be said, to set aside the distrust and the easy slander of the science, and, having passed a verdict of ignorance and nonsense against its opponents, to show forth as immortal a foreknowledge that is in danger. Hence lovers of learning, having been trained through others in arithmetical and instructional procedures, will carry off the victory of glory through this composition, even though they themselves are not uninitiated in the construction of tables and ingresses, which I did not wish to set out at the beginning and to repeat. And if we seem to be writing down and interpreting the doctrines of the ancients, in this respect we shall carry off praise for virtue from our readers because of the reliability, generosity, and instructiveness of the methods. For others, using wordiness and varied methods and seeming to interpret, have further overturned the glory of foreknowledge that existed before, and, having practised a Greek diction in their words, have displayed a barbarous mind. One might suppose that these men display the manner of the Sirens, who, calling to those sailing past with a deceitful and broken voice through the music of instruments and a deadly song, destroyed them beside the rocks of the sea. Some suffer, and have suffered, the like who read the methods of those writers: at first, charmed by the display and the procedure of their words, they fell into boundless matter and, not finding the way out, perished not only in the deep but also in a labyrinth; and others, who thought they had escaped the danger, fell into a wearing and anxious torment and had a grievous end. If, then, one takes on the mind of Odysseus and sails past these, he leaves the science venerable in his life, and, becoming its housemate and companion, passes his time always with pleasure, having cut off, as one does in mysteries, the ill-disposed opinions of the opponents. Hence, leaving these aside, we shall come to the doctrine of the matters set before us.

我希望把方法的演示写得更简明，避开冗词与神话式的巫术，把要点本身摆在那些对这类事最热心、在许多方法上花过长久时间、又能凭自己的才智贡献同样多的人面前。因为我想，我会借着已写下的与还要说的，说服他们放下对这门学问的不信与轻易的诋毁，对它的反对者判以无知与胡言，把一种处于危险之中的预知显扬为不朽。因此，好学之人在别处受过算术与教导性方法的训练，将借这部著作赢得荣耀的胜利，即使他们自己对造表与进入之法也并非外行，这些我不愿在开头列出、也不愿重复。若我们看来是在记录、解释古人的学说，那么在这一点上，我们会因方法的可靠、慷慨与有教益，从读者那里赢得德行的称赞。因为别人用冗词和五花八门的方法，看似在解释，却进一步推翻了先前就有的预知的荣耀；他们在言辞上操练希腊的措辞，却显出野蛮的心智。人们可以认为，这些人表现的是塞壬的作风：她们借着乐器的音乐与致命的歌，用欺诈而断续的声音呼唤驶过的人，在海中的礁石旁毁灭他们。有些人读了那些作者的方法，正在遭受、也已遭受过同样的事：起初被言辞的排场与程序迷住，落入无边的材料之中，找不到出路，不仅葬身深海，还葬身迷宫；另一些人以为自己逃过了危险，却陷入令人消耗而焦虑的折磨，结局悲惨。所以，若有人取奥德修斯的心智，从这些人旁边驶过，他就在一生中让这门学问保持可敬，成为它的同屋与伴侣，总是愉快地度日，就像在秘仪中那样，斩断了反对者怀有恶意的意见。因此，把这些放在一边，我们要来讲眼前的学说。
