卷四·第二十八至三十章　得力之月与日；时期分季与几种另法

XXVIII. On Where the Month Will Be.

第二十八章　论月将落在何处。

You will take the month thus: from the transiting Sun to the Sun of the nativity, and the equal amount from the sign that has been allotted the year. Observe also the sign in which the conjunction took place, if the nativity is conjunctional, and likewise the sign in which the full moon will be, if it is a full-moon nativity; for in these signs the months are productive and have their beginning; whatever phase the Moon happens to have in the nativity, whether from the conjunction or from the full moon, to the like phase the month's Moon also completes it. For example, if she is on her third or fifth day either from the conjunction or from the full moon, from then too will be the beginning of the month.

你要这样求月：从行运的太阳量到本命的太阳，再从分得这一年的星座量出相等的距离。也要观察合朔发生的星座（若本命是合朔之命），同样观察望月将在的星座（若是望月之命）；因为月在这些星座得力并有其开端；本命中月亮恰有什么月相，不论从合朔起还是从望月起，这个月的月亮也在相同的月相上完成它。例如，若她在合朔或望月之后的第三日或第五日，那么这个月的开端也从那时起。

XXIX. On the Productive Day.

第二十九章　论得力之日。

You will find the days thus. Multiply the full years being brought down by the nativity by 5¼, and add the days from the birthday up to the day you seek to the numbers multiplied; and if it is by the Alexandrian reckoning, add the intercalary days, that is, a quarter of the full years, and cast these out of the total by twelves as often as you can. Multiply the remainder by 5 [text uncertain], and add the days from the birth up to the day you seek, and divide by 12; and cast out what is left from the Moon of the nativity, giving one count to each sign, casting out the month from the allotted sign. Wherever the number ends, examine the lord of that sign and, in relation to the planets regarding it, declare the quality of the day.

你要这样求日。把本命正在推的满年乘以五又四分之一，再把从生日到你所求之日的日数加到乘得的数上；若按亚历山大里亚人的历法，就加上闰日，即满年数的四分之一，然后从总数中尽量以十二去掉。把余数乘以五〔原文疑有讹误〕，再加上从出生到你所求之日的日数，除以十二；把剩下的从本命的月亮数出，每个星座给一个数，从分得的星座把月数出。数在哪里终止，就审视那个星座的主，并按照看它的诸星宣告这一天的性质。

The hours thus: from the allotted sign cast out the day, at the beginning of the day, two at a time from the hour of birth, and you will learn the good and active hours. This is useful also for the enterprise and inception of every matter; and above all you will learn precisely the critical days of sickness and of taking to bed from the ascendant degrees in relation to the luminaries and the remaining angles of the planets.

时辰这样求：从分得的星座，在一天开始时，从出生的时辰起每两小时一座地把日数出，你就会得知好的、有作为的时辰。这对每件事的营谋与起事之盘也有用；尤其你会从上升的度数，按其与两光及诸星其余各角的关系，精确地得知疾病与卧床的危期。

What was essential for a readier inquiry has been stated in these words; but as much as comes from this concise unfolding, one will give himself much increase, if he uses a well-endowed soul and is furnished by nature for whatever reasoning the mind of man arrives at [text uncertain].

为了较便捷的查考，必要的话已在这些话里说了；但从这简要的展开中所能得的，他会给自己带来很大的增益，只要他用的是一个禀赋良好的灵魂，并且天生具备人的心智所能达到的任何推理〔原文疑有讹误〕。

If you make the circumambulation, use the terms, for example 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, whether it is the year from the Sun, or the month from the transiting Sun to the Moon of the nativity and the equal amount from the Ascendant [lacuna] of the years, or as I, Hermeias, have observed. One must make the circumambulation from all the planets to all the planets according to the rising times of the signs and the climes. For example, if about a wife, from Venus, or about daughters or female forms; when about action, from Mercury and what pertains to it; when about dangers, or death, or diseases, or haemorrhages, from the malefics to the Ascendant, or the Sun, or the Moon; and from the others likewise. One must also attend in which terms the circumambulations are, which of the planets cast their rays, and which are in the sign of the circumambulation by entry; likewise the planet that has handed over or receives, how they stand toward the nativity, how they rose, and how they were in the nativity.

若你作巡行，就用界，例如八、七、六、五、四，不论是从太阳起的年，还是从行运的太阳到本命的月亮、再从上升点量出相等距离的月〔此处原文有缺〕年的，或者如我赫尔墨亚斯所观察的。必须按星座的上升时间与气候带，从所有行星向所有行星作巡行。例如，若问妻子，就从金星起，或问女儿、问女性之形；当问作为时，从水星起，及与之相关的；当问危险、死亡、疾病或出血时，从凶星起向上升点、太阳或月亮；其余也同样。也必须留意巡行在哪些界中，哪些行星投射光线，哪些以进入在巡行所在的星座中；同样也要看交出或接受的行星，它们对本命处在什么状态，怎样升起，以及在本命中是怎样的。

Another way, on the year. You will take the years thus: from the Sun, which shows matters of the soul; from the Moon, which shows bodily matters and those concerning the mother; from the Lot of Fortune. One must examine how these stand toward one another; for if they are benefics and appear in harmony, they signify a good year; if malefics, the opposite; and if benefics and malefics, they make the year mixed. One should also use the so-called Dog-Star year.

另一法，论年。你要这样取年：从太阳起，它显示灵魂之事；从月亮起，它显示身体之事与关于母亲之事；从福点起。必须审视这些彼此处在什么状态；因为若它们是吉星而显得和谐，就象征好的一年；若是凶星，就相反；若有吉有凶，就使这一年吉凶参半。也应使用所谓犬星之年。

XXX. On Active and Inactive Periods with Respect to the Quarter of the Period.

第三十章　论按时期四分之一的作为与无为之期。

The division of the active periods with respect to the quarters. For example, of Saturn's 30 years the quarter is 7½; of Jupiter's 12 years the quarter is 3 years; of Mars's 15 years the quarter is 3 years 9 months; of the Sun's 19 years the quarter is 4 years 9 months; of Venus's 8 years the quarter is 2 years; of Mercury's 20 years the quarter is 5 years; of the Moon's 25 years the quarter is 6 years 3 months. These are their minor cycles; their greatest are: the Sun 120, the Moon 108, Saturn 57, Jupiter 79, Mars 66, Venus 82, Mercury 76. They allot the days thus: for example, Saturn has 637 days, Jupiter 255, Mars 318, the Sun 403¾ [corrected: Kroll prints 433], Venus 170 [corrected: Kroll prints 368 18], Mercury 425 [corrected: Kroll prints 423 18], the Moon 531. Jupiter, out of his 3 years, allots to himself 102 days, to Mars 127 days 12 hours, to the Sun 161 days 6 hours, to Venus 67 days 12 hours, to Mercury 170 days 12 hours, to the Moon 212 days 6 hours, to Saturn 255. Mars, out of his 3 years and 9 months, allots to himself 159 days 5 hours [sic], to Saturn 318, to Jupiter 127, to the Sun 201⅞ [corrected: Kroll prints 219], to Venus 84 days 18 hours, to Mercury 212 days 21 hours, to the Moon 265 and two thirds. The Sun, out of his 4 years and 9 months, allots to Saturn 403¾ [corrected: Kroll prints 53], to Jupiter 161 and 12 hours, to Mars 201, to himself 255 days 8 hours, to Venus 107⅔, to Mercury 269⅙ [corrected: Kroll prints 66 21 for Venus and 267 4 for Mercury], to the Moon 336 days 6 hours [sic]. Venus, 2 years: to Saturn 170, to Jupiter 68, to Mars 85, to the Sun 107 days 12 hours, to herself 45, to Mercury 113 days 12 hours, to the Moon 141 days 12 hours. Mercury, 5 years: to Saturn 425, to Jupiter 170, to Mars 212, to the Sun 268 days 17 hours [sic], to Venus 112, to himself 283 days 12 hours, to the Moon 354⅙ [corrected: Kroll prints 358 18]. The Moon, out of her 6 years and 3 months: to Saturn 531¼, to Jupiter 212½ [corrected: Kroll prints 425 and 170, the figures of Mercury’s list], to Mars 265 days 15 hours, to the Sun 336, to Venus 141 days 16 hours, to the Moon 442. Wherever the year ends, the lord of the sign gives first; for example, Saturn 85, then the Sun 53 and 18 hours, Mercury 56 and 18 hours, Venus 22 and 18 hours, Jupiter 34, the Moon 70 and 18 hours, Mars 42 and 12 hours.

按四分之一划分作为之期。例如，土星三十年，其四分之一是七年半；木星十二年，其四分之一是三年；火星十五年，其四分之一是三年九个月；太阳十九年，其四分之一是四年九个月；金星八年，其四分之一是二年；水星二十年，其四分之一是五年；月亮二十五年，其四分之一是六年三个月。这些是它们的小周期；它们最大的是：太阳一百二十，月亮一百零八，土星五十七，木星七十九，火星六十六，金星八十二，水星七十六。它们这样分配日数：例如，土星有六百三十七日，木星二百五十五，火星三百一十八，太阳四百零三又四分之三〔据算改正：Kroll 本作四百三十三〕，金星一百七十〔据算改正：Kroll 本作三百六十八、十八〕，水星四百二十五〔据算改正：Kroll 本作四百二十三、十八〕，月亮五百三十一。木星从他的三年中，分给自己一百零二日，给火星一百二十七日又十二小时，给太阳一百六十一日又六小时，给金星六十七日十二时，给水星一百七十日十二时，给月亮二百一十二日六时，给土星二百五十五。火星从他的三年九个月中，分给自己一百五十九日五时〔原书如此〕，给土星三百一十八，给木星一百二十七，给太阳二百零一又八分之七〔据算改正：Kroll 本作二百一十九〕，给金星八十四日十八时，给水星二百一十二日二十一时，给月亮二百六十五又三分之二。太阳从他的四年九个月中，给土星四百零三又四分之三〔据算改正：Kroll 本作五十三〕，给木星一百六十一日又十二小时，给火星二百零一，给自己二百五十五日八时，给金星一百零七又三分之二，给水星二百六十九日六时〔据算改正：Kroll 本金星作六十六、二十一，水星作二百六十七、四〕，给月亮三百三十六日六时〔原书如此〕。金星，二年：给土星一百七十，给木星六十八，给火星八十五，给太阳一百零七日十二时，给自己四十五，给水星一百一十三日十二时，给月亮一百四十一日十二时。水星，五年：给土星四百二十五，给木星一百七十，给火星二百一十二，给太阳二百六十八日十七时〔原书如此〕，给金星一百一十二，给自己二百八十三日十二时，给月亮三百五十四日六时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作三百五十八、十八〕。月亮从她的六年三个月中：给土星五百三十一又四分之一，给木星二百一十二又二分之一〔据算改正：Kroll 本作四百二十五、一百七十，是水星一栏的数〕，给火星二百六十五日十五时，给太阳三百三十六，给金星一百四十一日十六时，给月亮四百四十二。年在哪里终止，那个星座的主就先给；例如，土星八十五，然后太阳五十三日又十八小时，水星五十六日又十八小时，金星二十二日又十八小时，木星三十四，月亮七十日又十八小时，火星四十二日又十二小时。

Another procedure. As many terms as one of the planets has in the 12 signs, so many years it gives. For example, the Ascendant in Libra; 28 years are being brought down; Capricorn gives the first 57 to Saturn, then 76 to Mercury, then 82 to Venus, then 79 to Jupiter, then 66 to Mars [corrected: Kroll prints 65], then 70 to the Moon, then 6 hours to the Sun.

另一程序。一颗行星在十二个星座中有多少界度，就给多少年。例如，上升点在天秤；正在推二十八年；摩羯把最初的五十七给土星，然后七十六给水星，然后八十二给金星，然后七十九给木星，然后六十六给火星〔据算改正：Kroll 本作六十五〕，然后七十给月亮，然后六小时给太阳。

Another division. Multiply the least years of the planet by 4, and give the Moon 25 and the Sun 6 hours; Saturn, then, because of Capricorn, will have 120 days, then Mercury 80, then Venus 32, then Jupiter 48, then Mars 60, then the Moon 25, then the Sun 6 hours; the year of day and night is from the Ascendant. Someone brings down 28 least years from Libra, and Saturn is in Taurus; the 28 end in Leo; in Libra, then, Saturn handed over to the Sun, and the Sun has the year. This pleases the Egyptians, the Babylonians, and the Greeks.

另一种划分。把行星的最小年数乘以四，给月亮二十五，给太阳六小时；于是土星因摩羯之故有一百二十日，然后水星八十，然后金星三十二，然后木星四十八，然后火星六十，然后月亮二十五，然后太阳六小时；昼夜之年从上升点起。某人从天秤推二十八个最小年，而土星在金牛；二十八终止于狮子；于是在天秤，土星交给了太阳，太阳持有这一年。这为埃及人、巴比伦人与希腊人所喜。

They compare the triplicities thus. Venus is lady of the triplicity; from Venus, then, in Cancer, the count ends in Libra; the lord of the triplicity by day is Saturn in Libra; Saturn received the year from Venus; the division is in conflict.

他们这样比较三方。金星是三方的女主人；于是从在巨蟹的金星起数，终止于天秤；三方白天的主是土星，在天秤；土星从金星接受了这一年；这一划分相抵触。
