卷三·第四至八章　风与阶、昼夜之分、两例与敌对之星

IV. On the Winds of the Planets, their Exaltations, and their Steps.

第四章　论诸星的风、旺位与阶。

This being so, we must also set out the winds; but first one must examine in which degrees each planet is exalted, for from these the distinction becomes known. The Sun, then, is exalted at about the 19th degree of Aries, the Moon at about the third of Taurus, Jupiter at about the 15th of Cancer, Mars at about the 28th of Capricorn, Saturn at about the 21st of Libra, Mercury at about the 15th of Virgo, Venus at about the 27th of Pisces; and in the opposite degrees they are in their depression. The square preceding each exaltation will be called northern, and the one following it southern. For example, since the Sun is exalted at about the 19th degree of Aries, his preceding square will be from the 19th degree of Capricorn; if, then, he is found in this, we say that he is ascending in the north and rising in height; from the 19th of Aries to the 19th of Cancer he descends in the north; from the 19th of Cancer to the 19th of Libra he descends in the south; and from the 19th of Libra to the 19th of Capricorn he ascends in the south. If we also seek the step of the wind, we shall find it thus. Since each step is of 15 degrees, I shall learn it by taking the interval of the planet from the respective degree and casting out the 15s. For example, let the Sun be at Aquarius 22°. I take from the 19th of Capricorn to the 22nd of Aquarius: it comes to 33. We subtract twice 15 degrees, that is 30, which are 2 steps; 3 remain, so that the Sun is in the northern ascent, in the 3rd step of the wind. This we set out by way of example; and for the other winds too, having reckoned the northern and the southern semicircle, one must work out in the same way both the wind and the step. In every nativity, then, one must learn whether the Sun, the Moon, or the Ascendant is releaser, and which wind it is running, and so survey the other planets as well. For if some are running the same wind as the releaser, they will be familiar and in sympathy, especially in their own periods; and they are stronger and beneficial if they also happen to be oriental or angular, or adding to their numbers, and of the same sect. But if one of the planets is running the wind contrary to the releaser, it will become hostile and maleficent, especially in the transmission of the periods. And if it is also occidental and subtracting from its numbers, it is harmful and dangerous; and even if it happens to be angular in this part, it will not be judged benefic throughout. If it has some configurations familiar to the releaser and some unfamiliar, it is irregular, neither wholly beneficial nor harmful. If the Ascendant is found to be releaser, one must then examine the lord of the terms and learn which wind it is running, and whether it is angular or oriental or adding, and compare it with the others. Some, then, will think this method to be idle; but I say that it is rather more in accordance with nature and more effective; for in the compilations of tables different authors, treating this subject in different ways, have not worked it out precisely.

既然如此，我们也必须列出诸风；但首先必须查看每颗行星在哪些度数入旺，因为区分就从这些得知。太阳约在白羊十九度入旺，月亮约在金牛第三度，木星约在巨蟹十五度，火星约在摩羯二十八度，土星约在天秤二十一度，水星约在处女十五度，金星约在双鱼二十七度；在相对的度数上它们落陷。每个旺位之前的四分将称为北方的，之后的四分称为南方的。例如，既然太阳约在白羊十九度入旺，他之前的四分就从摩羯十九度起；所以若他被发现在这一段，我们就说他在北方上升、向高处升起；从白羊十九度到巨蟹十九度，他在北方下降；从巨蟹十九度到天秤十九度，他在南方下降；从天秤十九度到摩羯十九度，他在南方上升。若我们还要求风的阶，就这样求得。既然每一阶是十五度，我取行星离各自那一度的间隔，去掉若干个十五，就会得知。例如，设太阳在水瓶二十二度。我从摩羯十九度取到水瓶二十二度：合三十三。我们减去两个十五度，即三十，是两阶；余三，所以太阳在北方上升之中，在这风的第三阶。这是我们为举例而列出的；其余的风也一样，算出北方与南方的半圆之后，必须同样求出风与阶。所以在每个本命中，都必须得知太阳、月亮或上升点哪一个是释放星，它正走哪一种风，再这样通观其余的行星。因为若有些行星与释放星走同一种风，它们就会亲近而相感，尤其在它们自己的时期；若它们也恰好东出或居角，或在增数，又属同一方，就更强而有益。但若某颗行星走与释放星相反的风，它就会变得敌对而为凶，尤其在时期的交付中。若它又西入、在减数，就有害而危险；即使它在这一部分恰好居角，也不会始终被判为吉。若它对释放星有些格局亲近、有些不亲近，它就是不定的，既不全然有益，也不全然有害。若上升点被发现为释放星，那时就必须查看界主，得知它走哪一种风，是否居角、东出或在增数，再与其余诸星比较。有些人会认为这个方法无用；但我说，它毋宁更合乎自然、更有效验；因为在编表时，不同的作者以不同的方式处理这个题目，没有把它算精确。

V. On the Sect of the Planets.

第五章　论诸星的昼夜之分。

One must also examine the sects of the planets. The Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn rejoice above the earth by day and under the earth by night; the Moon, Mars, and Venus rejoice above the earth by night and under the earth by day; Mercury follows the sect of the ruler of the terms in which he is. Hence, among those born by day, if someone is found to have Jupiter, the Sun, and Saturn above the earth and well configured, he will be better off than one who has them under the earth. Likewise, if someone has the nocturnal planets above the earth, it is advantageous. Venus rejoices more in the Ascendant or at the Midheaven, and the other planets too rejoice more in the Ascendant than in setting.

也必须查看诸星的昼夜之分。太阳、木星与土星，白天喜在地上，夜里喜在地下；月亮、火星与金星，夜里喜在地上，白天喜在地下；水星随他所在之界的主星的昼夜之分。因此，在白天出生的人中，若有人被发现木星、太阳与土星在地上而格局良好，他就比那些它们在地下的人好。同样，若有人夜间诸星在地上，也是有利的。金星更喜在上升点或中天，其余的行星也更喜在上升点而非在下降。

VI. Examples of the Foregoing Chapters.

第六章　前面各章的例子。

For example, let the Sun be in Cancer at 29° 30', the Moon in Pisces at 12°, Saturn in Sagittarius at 27° 8', Jupiter in Virgo at 22° 13', Mars in Scorpio at 7° 23', Venus in Cancer at 28° 13', Mercury in Leo at 11° 25', the Ascendant in Pisces at 17°, the Midheaven in Sagittarius at 25°. The nativity is without a ruler, because Venus, the lady of the Moon's terms, has fallen under the setting; the Ascendant is releaser, and Mercury, the lord of its terms, Venus's, was himself found cadent under the setting. The release, then, is from the Ascendant up to the side of the square and to the casting of rays from opposition upon Saturn, into the term of a malefic; for Mars's ray of opposition passed by, because Jupiter, found at the same degree, prevented the destruction. The native died, then, at 69 years; but if Jupiter, by his square, had not prevented it, he would have lived only 64 years.

举例来说，设太阳在巨蟹二十九度三十分，月亮在双鱼十二度，土星在射手二十七度八分，木星在处女二十二度十三分，火星在天蝎七度二十三分，金星在巨蟹二十八度十三分，水星在狮子十一度二十五分，上升在双鱼十七度，中天在射手二十五度。这个本命无主星，因为月亮所在之界的女主人金星已落到西沉之下；上升点是释放星，而它的界主，金星的界主水星，自己也被发现在西沉之下而落果。所以释放从上升点到四分之边，到土星从对冲投来的光线，进入凶星之界；因为火星的对冲光线被越过了，由于被发现在同一度数的木星阻止了杀害。所以本命者在六十九岁死去；但若木星没有以他的四分加以阻止，他只会活六十四年。

Another. The Sun in Pisces at 25° 8', the Moon in Gemini at 16° 53', Saturn in Pisces at 1° 25', Jupiter in Sagittarius at 24° 18', Mars in Taurus at 21° 8', Venus in Aquarius at 9°, Mercury, Saturn, in Taurus at 32° [sic], the Ascendant in Libra at 15°, the Midheaven in Cancer at 16°. The luminaries were cadent; the Ascendant is releaser, the terms are Jupiter's, and Jupiter had fallen out of the favourable places; the nativity is without a ruler; the release runs to Mars's opposition at the 21st degree of Scorpio; for standing over the releasing terms and casting his ray into those same terms, he destroyed. The native died in the 51st year. The releasing terms and those of the malefics, then, are destructive not only at the degrees on which the destroyers are present or into which they cast their rays, but also when the release occurs at the beginning of the term. Moreover, one must reckon up not only the time of the sign receiving the rays, but also that of the sign casting them, in which the destroyer happens to be.

另一例。太阳在双鱼二十五度八分，月亮在双子十六度五十三分，土星在双鱼一度二十五分，木星在射手二十四度十八分，火星在金牛二十一度八分，金星在水瓶九度，水星、土星在金牛三十二度〔原书如此〕，上升在天秤十五度，中天在巨蟹十六度。两光落果；上升点是释放星，界属木星，而木星已失位；本命无主星；释放走到火星在天蝎二十一度的对冲；因为他立在释放之界上，又把光线投进同样的界里，就杀害了。本命者死于第五十一年。所以释放之界与凶星之界之所以致死，不只在杀星所在或投光的那些度数上，也在释放发生于界的开头时。此外，不只必须合计受光线的星座的时间，也必须合计投出光线的、杀星所在星座的时间。

VII. Another Account of Hostile Places and Releases, from the Works of Critodemus.

第七章　另一种关于敌对之位与释放的论述，出自克里托德摩斯的著作。

From the Moon and the Ascendant. Whenever the Moon is found to be releaser, one must watch for the hindrances and for the sides of the sextile, the square, and the opposition toward the Ascendant according to rising times. For these will be judged effective, especially in signs rising in the same place, or of equal rising, or of equal power, or in hearing or seeing signs, or in antiscian degrees. Likewise, if the Ascendant is found to be releaser, one must examine in the same way its distances toward the Moon according to rising times. It has seemed to me from experience that one should judge as deadly and powerful the degrees that are at the Midheaven relative to one another, from the Ascendant and from the Moon, and those opposite them; for when these become angular they acquire no ordinary power.

从月亮与上升点。每当月亮被发现为释放星，就必须按上升时间留意阻碍，以及朝向上升点的六分、四分与对冲之边。因为这些将被判为有效，尤其在同处升起、上升相等、等力，或相听、相望的星座中，或在映点度数上。同样，若上升点被发现为释放星，也必须同样按上升时间查看它朝向月亮的距离。凭经验，我觉得应把以上升点与月亮互相而论处在中天的度数，以及与它们相对的度数，判为致死而有力的；因为这些度数居角时，就获得非同寻常的力量。

VIII. On Hostile Planets and Climacteric Places, according to the First Instrument of Critodemus.

第八章　按克里托德摩斯的第一仪表，论敌对的行星与关口之位。

One must also examine the hostile places and planets, not only of the others but also of the Ascendant, the Sun, and the Moon; for if these become contrary, they signify the climacterics and the deaths. For example, in the case of Saturn, one should look at the degrees opposite his own, to see to which god they belong, as is set out in the instrument; and when Saturn is there, the native will die, or when he is in the squares of the Ascendant or in the signs of equal rising, according as the period coincides; and the same holds for the other planets. For the hostile planets are the lords of the terms of the opposite degrees. These, then, when they arrive at the places, signify destruction, or when they come into the rising times of the Ascendant. For example, let Saturn be in Cancer at 21°, in the terms of Venus; the opposite sign is Capricorn, the terms of Mars; the Sun in Taurus at 27°. With Saturn there, the native will die in Virgo; for this is the square by degree.

也必须查看敌对的位置与行星，不只是其他各项的，也包括上升点、太阳与月亮的；因为这些若变得相反，就象征关口与死亡。例如，就土星而言，应看与他的度数相对的度数，看它们属于哪位神，如仪表中所列；当土星在那里时，本命者就会死去，或当他在上升点的四分之处或在上升相等的星座时，视时期如何相合而定；其他行星也一样。因为敌对的行星，是相对度数的界主。所以当它们来到那些位置，或进入上升点的上升时间时，就象征杀害。例如，设土星在巨蟹二十一度，在金星之界；对面的星座是摩羯，是火星之界；太阳在金牛二十七度。当土星在那里时，本命者将在处女死去；因为这是按度数的四分。

Jupiter in Scorpio at 14°, in the terms of Saturn; the 14 degrees of Taurus are the terms of Saturn; this planet does not become hostile to himself. The sign of equal rising with Scorpio, then, is Leo; the 14 degrees of Leo are the terms of the Sun; Jupiter, then, on coming to the places of the Sun, destroys.

木星在天蝎十四度，在土星之界；金牛十四度是土星之界；这颗行星不会与自己为敌。所以与天蝎上升相等的是狮子；狮子十四度是太阳之界；所以木星来到太阳的位置时，就会杀害。

Mars in Taurus at 27°, in the terms of the Sun; the same degrees of Scorpio are the terms of the Sun. He does not become hostile to himself; one must therefore seek the 27 degrees in Leo or in the sign of equal rising; and they are in Aquarius according to the hourly divisions. The 27 degrees of Aquarius are the terms of Venus; the native will die, then, when Mars is in Scorpio or in Pisces, the signs of equal rising, or in their squares. If, then, one reckons the 27 degrees of Leo, he will find the terms of Saturn; and Saturn was in Cancer; the native will die, then, when Mars is in Cancer or Sagittarius or in their squares.

火星在金牛二十七度，在太阳之界；天蝎的同样度数是太阳之界。他不会与自己为敌；所以必须在狮子或在上升相等的星座中找二十七度；按小时的划分，它们在水瓶。水瓶二十七度是金星之界；所以当火星在天蝎或双鱼这两个上升相等的星座，或在它们的四分之处时，本命者就会死去。若有人计算狮子二十七度，会找到土星之界；而土星在巨蟹；所以当火星在巨蟹或射手，或在它们的四分之处时，本命者就会死去。

Venus in Scorpio at 27°, in the terms of the Sun; the opposite degrees of Taurus, 27, are the terms of the Sun [corrected: Kroll prints 37]. He (the Sun, lord of the terms) does not become hostile to himself; I seek, then, in the sign of equal rising with Scorpio the 27 degrees, which are the terms of Mercury. The native will die, then, when Venus is in Virgo, where Mercury was, or in its squares; and the same must be done for Mercury.

金星在天蝎二十七度，在太阳之界；与之相对的金牛的度数，二十七，是太阳之界〔据算改正：Kroll 本作三十七〕。他（太阳，界主）不会与自己为敌；所以我在与天蝎上升相等的星座中找二十七度，那是水星之界。所以当金星在处女，即水星所在之处，或在它的四分之处时，本命者就会死去；对水星也必须同样做。

One must also examine the inclinations toward the contrary place, and such planets as are on the hostile turning points [text uncertain], and those that produce the monthly, daily, and hourly climacterics with respect to the Moon's thirty-day period, from which the contrary planet is found. From the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant, then, the releaser will be judged, or the planet found next after the Ascendant, and in order the others as they happen to lie, also in the nativity, distinguishing by sign and by degree, every 10 years and 9 months [text uncertain].

也必须查看朝向相反之位的倾向，以及在敌对的转折点上的那些行星〔原文疑有讹误〕，还有那些就月亮的三十日周期而造成每月、每日、每时之关口的行星，相反的行星就从这一周期找出。所以，释放星将从太阳、月亮与上升点来判定，或从被发现紧随上升点之后的行星，再依次是其余如其所落的行星，在本命中也按星座与按度数加以区分，每十年九个月〔原文疑有讹误〕。
