卷四·第五至七章　解结与对向交付；完整年数；分时的吉凶

V. On the Loosing of the Bonds and the Counter-Transmission of the Planets.

第五章　论解结与诸星的对向交付。

The loosings of the bonds will turn out differently because of the natures of the planets. The Sun and the Moon, handing over to Saturn, are indicative of adversities and fears, bringing enmities of the great and threats on account of secret and old matters, upheavals, lawsuits and counter-suits, suspect lives and loss of rank, bodily troubles and dangers or shipwrecks, sudden falls, and very many ailments, unless benefics, being upon the places or testifying, obscure the outcomes of the ailments. Mercury, handing the period over from Virgo or Gemini to Jupiter, brings about a change of affairs and new undertakings; and if in the nativity the places are afflicted, or Mercury himself is, the general period having been adverse, the loosing of the bond will have a change for the better and will be indicative of undertakings. But if the places, guarded by benefics, make the period good, after the cycle the loosing of the bond will be troubled and bring loss. Saturn, loosing the bond from Capricorn and Aquarius into Leo and Cancer, shows the period to be active; for he brings things out of darkness into light, and, handing over the division of the periods to the signs of power, he becomes more effective according to the substance of the nativity. He provides glories and benefits according to the planets that are upon the places.

解结会因诸星的本性而结果不同。太阳与月亮交给土星时，象征逆境与恐惧，带来权贵的敌意，以及因隐秘与旧日之事而来的威胁、动荡、诉讼与反诉、受人怀疑的生活与失去地位、身体的困扰与危险或船难、突然的跌倒，以及非常多的病痛，除非吉星在那些位置上或作见证，使病痛的结果变得不明显。水星从处女或双子把时期交给木星时，带来事务的改变与新的事业；若在本命中那些位置受损，或水星本身受损，总的时期本来不顺，解结就会有向好的改变，并象征事业。但若那些位置受吉星守护，使时期良好，一轮之后的解结就会有困扰、带来损失。土星从摩羯与水瓶解结到狮子与巨蟹时，显示时期有作为；因为他把事情从黑暗带到光明，把时期的划分交给有权力的星座，就按本命的根基变得更有效验。他按在那些位置上的行星，提供荣耀与利益。

VI. How Many Years Each Sign Allots; and the Complete Years of the Planets.

第六章　每个星座分配多少年；以及诸星的完整年数。

Aquarius allots 30 years and Capricorn 27, since the Sun is master of 120 complete years, of which half is 60; of these he will allot half to Aquarius, which is opposite, that is, 30 years; and the Moon is mistress of 108 complete years, of which half is 54; of these she allots half to Capricorn, which is opposite, that is, 27 years; from the two signs, then, are collected 57 years, which are the complete years of Capricorn. The remaining planets too have received the complete allotment of their years from the Sun and the Moon. To Jupiter, who is his sect-partner and has acquired the sympathy of the triplicity because of Sagittarius, the Sun allotted half of his 120 years and his least years, 19: this makes 79. Likewise the Moon, because of his beneficence and the cosmic sympathy of the triplicity in Pisces, allotted to Jupiter half of her 108 years, 54, and her least, 25: this makes 79. To Mars, who is of her sect, the Moon allotted the 54; but the Sun, because of Mars's rival fiery substance and destructive manner, refused the allotment, and gave way instead to Jupiter, the master of the triplicity by succession, to allot his least years, 12: this makes 66. Likewise to Venus, because of the sympathy of the triplicity and the nocturnal sect, the Moon allotted the 54, and Saturn, because of his position opposite her exaltation, that is, Libra [sic], 30 years: this makes 84. Mercury, because of his co-rulership with Saturn, received from him the complete years, 57, and from the Sun the least, 19: this makes 76.

水瓶分配三十年，摩羯二十七年，因为太阳主管一百二十个完整年，其半是六十；其中他把一半分给对面的水瓶，即三十年；月亮是一百零八个完整年的女主人，其半是五十四；其中她把一半分给对面的摩羯，即二十七年；所以从这两个星座合得五十七年，这是摩羯的完整年数。其余的行星也从太阳与月亮得到它们完整的年数分配。木星是太阳的同方之星，又因射手得到三分的感应，太阳把他一百二十年的一半与他的最小年数十九分给木星：合七十九。同样，月亮因木星的施恩，以及在双鱼的三分的宇宙感应，把她一百零八年的一半五十四与她的最小年数二十五分给木星：合七十九。月亮把五十四分给与她同方的火星；但太阳因火星与他敌对的火性之质与毁坏的作风，拒绝了这份分配，转而让给按次序做三方之主的木星，分配他的最小年数十二：合六十六。同样，月亮因三分的感应与夜间的同方，把五十四分给金星，而土星因他所处与她的旺位相对的位置，即天秤〔原书如此〕，分给她三十年：合八十四。水星因与土星共为主星，从他那里得到完整年数五十七，又从太阳得到最小年数十九：合七十六。

VII. On the Divisions of the Periods from the Lot of Fortune and the Daemon, from the Entry of the Planets and the Rulers, and from the Conjunction and the Full Moon, with an Example and on Counter-Transmission.

第七章　论从福点与精灵点、从诸星与主星的进入、从合朔与望月来划分时期，附例，并论对向交付。

This being so, in the division one will have to examine both the planet that hands over and the one that receives, whether they happen to be angular or cadent, of one mind or estranged. For if, by sign, the division passes from angular places to angular ones, and likewise their rulers happen to be angular, receiving testimony from benefics and of their own sect, they make the chronocratorship good and distinguished; but if the places are angular while the lords are cadent or receive testimony from malefics, they show the period to be subject to reversals and troubled. If all the configurations are found in cadent places, the period is the worst, bringing ailments and losses; and in these periods natives come into residence abroad and changes of affairs; and if benefics happen to be there, or the places receive testimony from benefics, they will set their affairs right abroad and pass their time profitably. But if malefics, they will be overturned abroad by troubles and losses, or will be betrayed by foreigners and slaves; hence the cadent places are significant of foreign residence. If somehow they are found angular or in their own places, they signify detentions in some places or prolonged stays. Mercury and Venus provide journeys neither long nor of long duration, since they do not stand far from the Sun; Saturn, Mars, and the Moon make natives go beyond the borders, in danger on land and sea, and amid wanderings or in barbarous places. The Sun makes them esteemed, honoured, and well recommended; Jupiter makes them prosper, have many friends, and live pleasantly abroad.

既然如此，在划分中，就必须审视交出的行星与接受的行星，看它们是居角还是落果，是同心还是疏离。因为若按星座，划分从居角的位置传到居角的位置，它们的主也恰好居角，受吉星与本方之星的见证，它们就使时主之任良好而显赫；但若位置居角而主落果，或受凶星见证，它们就显示时期多起伏、受困扰。若所有格局都在果宫的位置，时期就最坏，带来病痛与损失；在这些时期，本命者客居异乡，事务改变；若吉星恰在那里，或那些位置受吉星见证，他们就会在异乡把事务理顺，有利地度过时光。但若是凶星，他们就会在异乡被困扰与损失颠覆，或被外邦人与奴仆出卖；因此果宫的位置象征客居异乡。若它们以某种方式被发现居角或在自己的位置，就象征在某些地方被扣留，或久留。水星与金星给予的出行既不远，也不长久，因为它们离太阳不远；土星、火星与月亮使本命者越出边界，在陆上与海上遇险，处于漂泊之中或在野蛮之地。太阳使他们受尊重、得荣誉、受到良好的推荐；木星使他们在异乡兴旺、多朋友、生活愉快。

If, then, one brings the bodily periods down into a sign away from the angles, or its lord happens to be away from the angles while receiving testimony from malefics, the native will come into sickness, haemorrhages, or dangers. If one brings the periods down from the Daemon into a sign away from the angles, and a malefic is upon it or testifies to the ruler of the sign, the native will be inactive, will pass his time in misfortunes, and will be unsettled in his soul, faring badly in his undertakings and enterprises; and if the sign that brings down the period is found to be fiery while malefics are upon it or testify, he will suffer the greatest faintness of soul and will do some things against his intention, being unsettled in his judgement; if it is airy and the sign or its lord is afflicted, he will live in suspense and grief, and while doing some things will expect others; if in an earthy sign, he will bear what befalls him nobly and through his own self-control will thoughtfully prevail over most things; and if in a watery sign, having a soul that is easily consoled, and having suffered reversals in some matters, he will set many affairs right and will be successful in his undertakings. Actions are always grasped specifically from the Daemon and its ruler; for there are some who have bodily occupations, such as those who work with their hands, and bodily hardships of carrying loads or of exercise; others from speech, knowledge, and the activity of the soul. Wherever more planets incline, either toward the Lot or toward the Daemon, from there the active character will be shown. One must, then, judge actions together with the general substance, whether the nativity is glorious or moderate, or prosperous, or poor, or litigious, or subject to reversals, so that in the sub-allotments the effects too may become evident. The planets that bring about actions are Mars, Venus, and Mercury; Saturn brings about pursuits and whatever comes about through moist things, or hardship, or the allotment of land. Humble and inglorious natives are grasped from Saturn and Mars when Jupiter is absent, while glorious and well-off natives are grasped from the Sun and the Moon when the benefics are present with them or testify along with them. If, then, the division comes from the Daemon to the Midheaven of the Lot of Fortune, or to the Lot itself while its lord is present and receives testimony from a benefic or from the Sun or the Moon, then, if the substance is very brilliant, the native will come into commands and great glory, distinguished, fit to rule, and conspicuous in those periods, and congratulated by many for the prosperity about him. The division made upon the Ascendant, the Midheaven, and the remaining angles also brings about glory, but not equally; for the places square to the lots are more effective. If, this being so, the substance is found to be moderate, the native will be in undertakings or benefits and among greater friends, will be deemed worthy of gifts and honour, will prosper and advance in the activity of his occupation, especially if benefics are upon the places or testify; but if malefics, the matters of the places will become evident as set out above, but on account of the testimony of the malefics natives will be overturned by adversities and losses and will experience the occasion of benefit as not lasting. And just as each of the planets has been assigned by sign in the circle according to its houses, in the same way, when configured in the nativity, it will be in sympathy with another.

所以，若有人把身体方面的时期推到离开角的星座，或它的主恰在离开角之处而受凶星见证，本命者就会陷入疾病、出血或危险。若有人从精灵点把时期推到离开角的星座，而有凶星在其上或为那个星座的主作见证，本命者就会无所作为，在不幸中度日，灵魂不安，在事业与营谋上遭遇不顺；若推下时期的星座被发现属火，又有凶星在其上或作见证，他就会遭受灵魂极大的萎靡，做某些违背本意的事，判断不定；若属气，而那个星座或它的主受损，他就会在悬而未决与忧伤中生活，做着一些事又期待着另一些事；若在属土的星座，他会高贵地承受所遭遇的事，凭自己的节制深思熟虑地胜过大多数事；若在属水的星座，他有容易得到慰藉的灵魂，在某些事上遭受起伏之后，会把许多事务理顺，在事业上取得成功。作为总是要具体地从精灵点及其主星来把握；因为有些人有身体方面的职业，例如用手做工的人，以及负重或操练的身体劳苦；另一些人则来自言语、知识与灵魂的活动。较多的行星倾向哪里，是倾向福点还是精灵点，作为的特性就从那里显示。所以，必须把作为与总的根基一同判断，看本命是荣耀的还是中等的，是兴旺的还是贫穷的，是好讼的还是多起伏的，好让效验在次分配中也显现出来。造成作为的行星是火星、金星与水星；土星造成营生，以及凡经由潮湿之物、或劳苦、或土地的分配而来的事。卑微无名的本命者，在木星缺席时从土星与火星来把握；荣耀富足的本命者，在吉星与日月同在或一同作见证时，从太阳与月亮来把握。所以，若划分从精灵点来到福点的中天，或来到福点本身，而福点之主在场，并受吉星或太阳、月亮的见证，那么，若根基非常显赫，本命者就会在那些时期掌握权柄、享有大荣耀，显赫，适于统治，引人注目，并因身边的兴旺受许多人祝贺。落在上升点、中天与其余角上的划分也带来荣耀，但不同等；因为与两个点成四分的位置更有效验。若如此，而根基被发现是中等的，本命者就会处在事业或利益之中，置身于较有地位的朋友之间，被认为配得礼物与荣誉，在职业的活动中兴旺而进步，尤其当吉星在那些位置上或作见证时；但若是凶星，那些位置之事会如上面所列那样显现，但因凶星的见证，本命者会被逆境与损失颠覆，觉得得益的机会并不持久。正如每颗行星按它的庙在圆周上被分派了星座，同样，它在本命中成格局时，也会与另一颗星相感应。
