卷三·第九至十章　风与界；数字之点与寿数

IX. On Winds and Turnings.

第九章　论风与转折。

It did not seem right to me to posit the terms, as some have, according to the seven zones, for example 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 (and even so it does not agree), but rather from the houses, the exaltations, and the triplicities. For example, the Sun's house is Leo, his exaltation Aries, his triplicity Sagittarius: that makes 3; in each sign, then, the Sun has 3 degrees of terms. The Moon's house is Cancer, her exaltation Taurus, her triplicity Virgo and Capricorn: that makes 4; likewise, then, the Moon has 4 degrees of terms in each sign. Saturn's houses are Capricorn and Aquarius, his exaltation Libra, his triplicity Gemini: that makes 4; likewise Saturn has 4 degrees of terms in each sign. Jupiter's houses are Sagittarius and Pisces, his exaltation Cancer, his triplicity Aries and Leo: he has, then, 5 degrees of terms in each sign. Mars's houses are Aries and Scorpio, his exaltation Capricorn, his triplicity Pisces and Cancer: he has, then, 5 degrees of terms in each sign. Venus's houses are Taurus and Libra, her exaltation Pisces, her triplicity Virgo and Capricorn: in each sign, then, she has 5 degrees of terms. Mercury's house is Gemini, his exaltation Virgo, his triplicity Aquarius and Libra: that makes 4; likewise he will have 4 degrees of terms in each sign. In Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, then, by day the Sun will take first place with 3, then Jupiter second with 5, then Venus 5 and the Moon 4, likewise Saturn 4, Mercury 4, and next Mars 5: together they make 30. By night, conversely, Jupiter 5, the Sun 3, the Moon 4, Venus 5, Mercury 4, Saturn 4, Mars 5: together they make 30. Likewise in Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn by day: Venus, the Moon, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, the Sun, Jupiter; and by night: the Moon, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun. Next, in Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius by day: Saturn, Mercury, Mars, the Sun, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon; and by night: Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, the Moon, Venus. Likewise in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces by day: Mars, the Sun, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon, Saturn, Mercury; and by night: Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, Saturn.

我认为不应像有些人那样，按七带来设定界，例如八、七、六、五、四（即使这样也不相合），而应从庙、旺位与三方来设定。例如，太阳的庙是狮子，旺位是白羊，三方是射手：合为三；所以太阳在每个星座有三度的界。月亮的庙是巨蟹，旺位是金牛，三方是处女与摩羯：合为四；所以月亮同样在每个星座有四度的界。土星的庙是摩羯与水瓶，旺位是天秤，三方是双子：合为四；所以土星同样在每个星座有四度的界。木星的庙是射手与双鱼，旺位是巨蟹，三方是白羊与狮子：所以他在每个星座有五度的界。火星的庙是白羊与天蝎，旺位是摩羯，三方是双鱼与巨蟹：所以他在每个星座有五度的界。金星的庙是金牛与天秤，旺位是双鱼，三方是处女与摩羯：所以她在每个星座有五度的界。水星的庙是双子，旺位是处女，三方是水瓶与天秤：合为四；所以他同样在每个星座有四度的界。所以在白羊、狮子、射手，白天太阳以三度居第一，然后木星以五度居第二，再是金星五度、月亮四度，同样土星四度、水星四度，接着火星五度：合为三十。夜里反过来，木星五度、太阳三度、月亮四度、金星五度、水星四度、土星四度、火星五度：合为三十。同样，在金牛、处女、摩羯，白天是：金星、月亮、土星、水星、火星、太阳、木星；夜里是：月亮、金星、水星、土星、火星、木星、太阳。其次，在双子、天秤、水瓶，白天是：土星、水星、火星、太阳、木星、金星、月亮；夜里是：水星、土星、火星、木星、太阳、月亮、金星。同样，在巨蟹、天蝎、双鱼，白天是：火星、太阳、木星、金星、月亮、土星、水星；夜里是：火星、木星、太阳、月亮、金星、水星、土星。

So that you may see that these terms are true, you will learn it also from the nature of the planets. If the Sun happens to be passing through his own terms while the Moon testifies to him, or the master of those terms does, the natural wind of that planet will blow. For example, if the Sun is passing through his own terms while the Moon testifies, the east wind will blow; if Venus testifies, there will be a south wind and a lack of dew; if Saturn, the south-west wind, a cause of moisture; if Jupiter, a north wind and dew arise; if the Moon, the north-east wind; if Venus, the south-easterly, and there arise unsteadiness of the winds and gloom; if Mercury, the south-west wind and the north wind, and calm, and heavy rain, and he becomes a cause of thunder and lightning. If some of the planets testify to the Sun and the Moon, one must always observe, in accordance with the nature of each, from which phase the Moon is moving, whether from conjunction or from full moon, and in whose term the phase is, and make your pronouncement with reference to the lord of the terms and to the planets that are present with it or testify to it.

为了让你看出这些界是真的，你也可以从诸星的本性得知。若太阳正行经他自己的界，而月亮为他作见证，或那些界的主人为他作见证，那颗行星本性的风就会吹起。例如，若太阳行经他自己的界而月亮作见证，就吹东风；若金星作见证，会有南风且无露；若土星，西南风，带来湿气；若木星，北风起而有露；若月亮，东北风；若金星，东南风，诸风不定，天色阴晦；若水星，西南风与北风，又有平静、大雨，他也成为雷电之因。若有某些行星为太阳与月亮作见证，就必须始终按各星的本性，留意月亮是从哪一相出发，是从合朔还是从望月，那一相在谁的界里，再参照界主以及与它同在或为它作见证的行星作宣告。

X. From the Works of Valens, on the Numerical Lot and the Periods of Life; the same also serves for the active periods, with examples.

第十章　出自瓦伦斯的著作，论数字之点与生命的时期；同样的方法也用于作为之期，附例。

There is also another, numerical method, suited both to the period of life and to the active and inactive periods, which King Petosiris also revealed in mystical fashion. Hence, whenever we find the predomination or the rulership to be fitting, we shall use the method set out above for the allotment; if not, the one set out below.

还有另一种数字的方法，既适用于生命的时期，也适用于有作为与无作为的时期，佩托西里斯王也曾以神秘的方式揭示过它。因此，每当我们发现主导或主管是相宜的，就用上面所列的方法来分配；若不然，就用下面所列的方法。

One must examine whether the nativity is conjunctional or full-moon; and if it is found to be conjunctional, one must count the degrees from the conjunction to the Moon at the delivery and count off an equal number from the Ascendant in the order of the signs; and wherever the count ends, the lord of that term will be the ruler of life and of the release. But if the nativity is found to be a full-moon nativity, one must count from the lunar degree at the delivery to the coming conjunction, and count off an equal number from the degree of the Ascendant, not in the order of the signs but in the upward direction, as toward the Midheaven; and wherever the count ends, the lord of that term will be judged the ruler. One must also survey the sign in which the count ended, to see to which luminary it is more closely akin, whether to the Sun, if it is in a masculine sign, or to the Moon, if in a feminine one. For if the Sun holds the predomination and the sign in which the count ended happens to be akin to him, and likewise the lord of the term is in accord with the Sun, and if it happens to be well configured toward the Sun, it will allot its greatest years. But if the sign is found to be fitting, that is, masculine with respect to the Sun, while the lord of the term is found contrary to the Sun, or in a place cadent from the Ascendant, or in ecliptic places, it will become a taker-away of the periods, or will allot its least years. The masculine signs belong to the Sun, the feminine to the Moon. Hence one must examine the lord of the term, how it is configured toward the predominator and toward the lord of the sign; for if it is found in fitting and well-configured signs, the periods of life too will be complete. If it is fittingly disposed toward one but without sympathy toward the other, it will allot its mean years. If the ruler of the sign in which the count ended happens to be without sympathy toward both the predominator and the well-configured sign, or turned away, or in the Bad Daemon, the nativity will be without a ruler; and then one must again examine the predomination of the Sun and the Moon. But if perhaps the lord of the term and the lord of the sign are configured well and in accord with the Sun or the Moon, the release will be judged from the degree of the term.

必须查看本命是合朔之命还是望月之命；若发现是合朔之命，就必须数从合朔到出生时月亮的度数，再从上升点按星座的次序数出同样的数；数到哪里终止，那一界的主就是生命与释放的主星。但若发现本命是望月之命，就必须从出生时月亮的度数数到将要到来的合朔，再从上升点的度数数出同样的数，不按星座的次序，而是向上，如同朝向中天；数到哪里终止，那一界的主就将被判为主星。也必须审视数终止所在的星座，看它与哪一颗光体更亲近：若在阳性星座，就亲近太阳；若在阴性星座，就亲近月亮。因为若太阳持有主导，而数终止的星座恰好与他亲近，界主同样与太阳相合，又恰好对太阳格局良好，它就会分配它的最大年数。但若星座被发现是相宜的，即对太阳而言是阳性的，而界主却被发现与太阳相悖，或在从上升点落果的位置，或在交食之位，它就会成为时期的夺取者，或分配它的最小年数。阳性星座属太阳，阴性星座属月亮。因此必须审视界主对主导之星与对星座之主的格局如何；因为若它被发现在相宜而格局良好的星座，生命的时期也会是完整的。若它对其中一方配置相宜，对另一方却无感应，它就会分配它的平均年数。若数终止所在星座的主星恰好对主导之星与格局良好的星座都无感应，或不相照，或在恶灵之位，本命就将无主星；那时就必须再审视太阳与月亮的主导。但若界主与星座之主恰好格局良好，与太阳或月亮相合，释放就将从那一界的度数来判定。

In general, then, in this method too one must examine the ruler with respect to the declines from the angles, as was shown in the horimaia method, and whether it is oriental or occidental, outside the angles or angular, or has exchanged places with the lord of the sign and is out of accord with it, and so make one's judgment. Likewise one must look beforehand at the rays of the destroying planets, and whether the release fell at the beginning of the terms or at the end; for from this one must work out the nativities of the short-lived and the long-lived, and those of twins. For often, for the first-born, the term that was lord of the release does harm, or, the ruler having fallen out of the favourable places, short life results, while for the other, the term having changed, long life and a substance of livelihood followed; hence the shift of one or two degrees often shows the greatest power. — Let there be by way of example the Sun in Taurus at 25° 18', the Moon in Aquarius at 7° 10', Saturn in Aries at 24°, Jupiter in Taurus at 4° 25', Mars in Cancer at 22° 53', Venus in Gemini at 28° 16', Mercury in Gemini at 6°, the Ascendant in Capricorn at 27°. The nativity being at full moon, I took from the lunar degree to the coming conjunction, which happened to be in Gemini at 2° 25': it comes to 115. These I count back from the degree in the Ascendant: the count ends at Libra 2°, from which the release runs up to the casting of rays by the malefics. For Saturn by opposition and Mars by square, casting their rays at about the same degrees, brought about the destruction; Jupiter was turned away, and Venus had fallen out of the favourable places, or was not strong enough to help. The nativity lived 28 years 9 months. — Another. The Sun in Sagittarius at 12° 16', the Moon in Sagittarius at 17° 24', Saturn in Libra at 11° 33', Jupiter in Gemini at 19° 11', Mars in Scorpio at 4° 20', Venus in Libra at 26°, Mercury in Scorpio at 27°, the Ascendant in Libra at 20°. I took, then, from the degree of the conjunction to that of the Moon: it comes to 5; counting these from the Ascendant, the count ends at Libra 25°; from there the release runs up to Mars's degree in Scorpio, the 5th. The native died in the 12th year. If this meeting had not occurred, he would have lived Venus's years as well, 84 [probably: 82, her greater period] [sic].

所以总的说，在这个方法里也必须按离角的倾斜来审视主星，如在时宜法中所示，看它是东出还是西入，在角外还是居角，或是否与星座之主互换了位置而与它不相合，再作判断。同样也必须预先查看杀星的光线，以及释放落在界的开头还是末尾；因为必须由此推出短寿者与长寿者的本命，以及双生子的本命。因为常常对先生的一个，主管释放的那一界造成伤害，或者主星已失位，便有短寿；而对另一个，界已改换，随之而来的是长寿与生计的根基；所以一两度的差移常常显出极大的力量。——举例来说，设太阳在金牛二十五度十八分，月亮在水瓶七度十分，土星在白羊二十四度，木星在金牛四度二十五分，火星在巨蟹二十二度五十三分，金星在双子二十八度十六分，水星在双子六度，上升点在摩羯二十七度。本命是望月之命，我从月亮的度数取到将要到来的合朔，合朔恰在双子二度二十五分：合一百一十五。我从上升的度数把这些倒数回去：数终止于天秤二度，释放就从那里起，直到凶星投射光线之处。因为土星以对冲、火星以四分，在大约相同的度数投射光线，造成了毁灭；木星不相照，金星已失位，或者无力相助。这个本命活了二十八年九个月。——另一例。太阳在射手十二度十六分，月亮在射手十七度二十四分，土星在天秤十一度三十三分，木星在双子十九度十一分，火星在天蝎四度二十分，金星在天秤二十六度，水星在天蝎二十七度，上升点在天秤二十度。于是我从合朔的度数取到月亮的度数：合五；把这些从上升点数起，终止于天秤二十五度；释放从那里起，直到火星在天蝎的度数，即第五度。本命者死于第十二年。若没有这次相遇，他还会活金星的年数，八十四〔或当作八十二，即金星大年〕〔原书如此〕。
