卷六·第六至八章　再分之表；当日属哪颗星；月亮与上升论寿数

VI. On the Subdivision of the Aforesaid Method.

第六章　论上述方法的再分。

The third further division comes about as follows. Saturn is master of 2 years and 6 months: he will transmit to himself 6 months 29 days 6 1/6 hours, to Jupiter 2 months 23 days 17¼ hours [corrected: Kroll prints 26 days 8¼ hours], to Mars 3 months 14 days 15 1/6 hours, to the Sun 4 months 12 days 13 1/6 hours, to Venus 1 month 25 days 19½ hours, to Mercury 4 months 19 days 12½ hours, to the Moon 5 months 24 days 10 hours; and so the 2 years 6 months of Saturn are completed.

第三层的再划分这样进行。土星是二年六个月之主：他将交给自己六个月二十九日六又六分之一小时，交给木星二个月二十三日十七又四分之一小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作二十六日八又四分之一小时〕，交给火星三个月十四日十五又六分之一小时，交给太阳四个月十二日十三又六分之一小时，交给金星一个月二十五日十九又二分之一小时，交给水星四个月十九日十二又二分之一小时，交给月亮五个月二十四日十小时；这样土星的二年六个月就满了。

Jupiter has a year: he will transmit to himself 1 month 3 days 11 hours, to Mars 1 month 11 days 20 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 1 day], to the Sun 1 month 23 days 20½ hours, to Venus 22 days 7½ 1/3 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 12 days], to Mercury 1 month 25 days 12 1/6 hours, to the Moon 2 months 9 days 18 1/3 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 12 months], to Saturn 2 months 23 days 17¼ hours.

木星有一年：他将交给自己一个月三日十一小时，交给火星一个月十一日二十小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作一日〕，交给太阳一个月二十三日二十又二分之一小时，交给金星二十二日七又二分之一又三分之一小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作十二日〕，交给水星一个月二十五日十二又六分之一小时，交给月亮二个月九日十八又三分之一小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作十二个月〕，交给土星二个月二十三日十七又四分之一小时。

Mars has 1 year 3 months: he transmits to himself 1 month 22 days 7 and two-thirds hours, to the Sun 2 months 6 days 6 and two-thirds hours, to the Moon 87 days 5 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 71 days], to Venus 27 days 21½ 1/3 hours, to Mercury 2 months 9 days 18 1/3 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 27 days], to Saturn 3 months 14 days 5 hours, to Jupiter 1 month 11 days 20 hours.

火星有一年三个月：他交给自己一个月二十二日七又三分之二小时，交给太阳二个月六日六又三分之二小时，交给月亮八十七日五小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作七十一日〕，交给金星二十七日二十一又二分之一又三分之一小时，交给水星二个月九日十八又三分之一小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作二十七日〕，交给土星三个月十四日五小时，交给木星一个月十一日二十小时。

The Sun has 1 year 7 months: he transmits to himself 2 months 23 days 22¼ hours, to Mercury 2 months 28 days 8¼ hours, to Venus 1 month 5 days 8½ hours, to the Moon 3 months 20 days 14¼ hours, to Saturn 4 months 12 days 13¼ hours, to Jupiter 1 month 23 days 8¼ hours, to Mars two months 6 days 6¼ hours.

VII. To Learn to Which Planet the Current Days of the Aforesaid Method Belong.

第七章　求上述方法中当前的日子属于哪颗行星。

If we wish to know in another way to which planet the current days belong, let us proceed as follows. Having multiplied the current years by 365¼, and having added the days from the birthday up to the day sought and summed them up, we subtract as many cycles of 129 days each as we can and examine how many cycles there have been; from these again we shall cast out weekly cycles, and the cycle left over within the week will show to which planet the days belong. For example, in the aforesaid chart, multiplying the full 52 years by 365¼, they make 18,993 days; and from Mechir 12 up to the day sought, Payni 15, 123 days; together they make 19,116 days. From these I subtracted cycles of 129 each: they make 148 cycles, and there remain 24 days of the 149th cycle. Again from these I subtracted 21 weekly cycles, that is from the 149; there remain 2 cycles. Since, then, as set out above, the Moon was found to be releaser, I again gave the 1st cycle of the week to the Moon herself first. The second cycle was held by Venus, who comes after her, having 24 days, of which she gave to herself 8 days, then to Jupiter 12 days; there remain 4 days of Saturn, in which he was condemned.

若我们想用另一种方法知道当前的日子属于哪颗行星，就这样做。把当前的年数乘以三百六十五又四分之一，加上从生日到所求那一日的日数，合计之后，减去尽可能多的每轮一百二十九日的循环，审视已经有过几轮；再从这些轮数中去掉周轮，在周内余下的那一轮就会显示这些日子属于哪颗行星。例如，在上述的盘中，把满五十二年乘以三百六十五又四分之一，得一万八千九百九十三日；从梅希尔月十二日到所求的日子帕尼月十五日，一百二十三日；合得一万九千一百一十六日。从这些里我减去每轮一百二十九日的循环：得一百四十八轮，余下第一百四十九轮的二十四日。再从这些里，即从一百四十九中，我减去二十一个周轮；余下二轮。那么，既然如上所述月亮被判为释放星，我又把周的第一轮先给月亮本身。第二轮由在她之后的金星掌管，有二十四日，其中她给自己八日，然后给木星十二日；余下土星的四日，他就在这几日里被判了罪。

Or again one must try, having brought the weekly cycles down into periods of 49, to count off from the releaser one for each, and at whichever planet the count ends, that planet will rule the period of 49 and the first weekly cycle; then you will transmit the cycles to the rest in order. For example, in the aforesaid chart, since 149 weekly cycles were found, from these I subtracted 3 periods of 49; there remain two cycles of the fourth period of 49. The four, then, I counted off from the Moon and ended at Saturn; so that Saturn rules the fourth period of 49; and having allotted the first weekly cycle to himself, he transmitted the second to Mars, who comes after him, having 24 days, of which he allotted to himself 15 days; and the remaining 9 days are the Sun's.

或者再试这样：把周轮化成四十九之期之后，从释放星起每颗星数一个，数到哪颗行星终止，那颗行星就掌管这个四十九之期和第一个周轮；然后你依次把各轮交给其余诸星。例如在上述的盘中，既然得出一百四十九个周轮，我从中减去三个四十九之期；余下第四个四十九之期的两轮。于是我从月亮起数这四个，终止于土星；所以土星掌管第四个四十九之期；他把第一个周轮分给自己之后，把第二个交给在他之后的火星，火星有二十四日，其中他分给自己十五日；余下的九日是太阳的。

That Some Do Not Make the Releasing of the Aforesaid Method Properly.

有人不恰当地作上述方法的释放。

Most people, however, allot the periods in every nativity according to the seven-zone week, beginning from Saturn; then to Jupiter, then to Mars, then to the Sun, after whom to Venus, then to Mercury, and next to the Moon. And likewise, according to the cycling of the periods, they examine the master of the week and of the days. But this does not please me, since the same chronocrators will be found in most nativities; rather, as set out above, the releaser will be judged from the Sun and the Moon, or the planet found after the Ascendant and those next in order, according as they happened to be disposed at the nativity by sign and by degree.

然而，大多数人在每个本命中都按七带周分配时期，从土星开始；然后给木星，然后给火星，然后给太阳，在他之后给金星，然后给水星，接着给月亮。同样，他们按时期的循环审视周之主与日之主。但这不合我意，因为在大多数本命中会找到同样的时主；而是如上所述，释放星要从太阳与月亮判定，或取在上升点之后被找到的那颗行星以及依次接下来的诸星，按它们在本命时按星座与按度数恰好所处的配置。

VIII. On the Periods of Life from the Full-Moon and the Horoscopic Gnomon.

第八章　从满月与上升晷针论寿数的时期。

Since I had acquired an easy finding of what is sought, through continual exercise and the material of a varied method, while the judgement and clear testing needed time, and this was left to me only briefly (for the life of men is but a point, even if it seems very lofty), just as a father at the end of his life, weighed down by illness, leaves brief commands to his children before silence overtakes him, so I too, with all eagerness, examining the headings of the theorems that occurred to me, noted them down, giving lovers of the beautiful a starting point for entry. If the mind were long-lived or immortal, the judgement would be undisputed and of one kind; but the gods know all things. Since, then, the most comprehensive heading is the one concerning the periods of life, it has been composed in many ways in what precedes. But having met a certain man who boasted about another method, I found the procedure embroidered with methodical numbers through much deception; I myself knew it more clearly before, and now, because of the contention, I shall make it clear, cutting out the idle talk. For every method, when compared with another and put to the test, shows its theory too to be natural and precise.

既然我借着不断的练习与多样方法的材料，已获得了轻易找到所求之事的本领，而判断与清楚的检验需要时间，留给我的却只是短暂的（因为人的一生只是一个点，即使它看来十分崇高），所以正如一位父亲在生命的尽头被疾病压着，在沉默降临之前给子女留下简短的嘱咐，我也满怀热切，审视那些出现在我心中的定理的要目，把它们记下，给爱好美的人一个入门的起点。若心智长寿或不朽，判断就会无可争议而只有一种；但众神知道一切。那么，既然最全面的要目是关于寿数的时期的，它在前面已用多种方式写成。但我遇到一个以另一种方法自夸的人，发现那程序借许多欺骗、用条理分明的数字修饰着；我自己以前就知道得更清楚，现在因为这场争论，我要把它讲清楚，剪去闲谈。因为每一种方法，与另一种比较、经过检验时，也显出它的理论是合乎自然而精确的。

Let our reckoning, then, be with respect to the light-bearing Moon and to the Ascendant; for these, blending with each other according to their hourly motions toward the important positions and the natural formation, indicate the releasing, the beginning, and the end. For they have been mystically allotted the power over conception and delivery, and neither Mars nor Saturn will be judged destroyers, nor indeed the benefics helpers; but whenever the Moon is found to be releaser, one must watch for the adhesions and the sides of sextile, square, and opposition toward the Ascendant, especially in signs of equal rising or of equal ascension or of equal power, the hearing and seeing signs, or in degrees that cast antiscia. In the same way, if the Ascendant is releaser, one must likewise examine the intervals toward the Moon according to rising times.

那么，让我们的推算是关于带光的月亮与上升点的；因为这两者按它们每小时的运动、朝向重要的位置与自然的成形彼此混合，显示释放、开始与终结。因为它们神秘地分得了掌管受孕与分娩的力量，火星与土星都不会被判为杀星，吉星也不会被判为援手；而是每当月亮被找到是释放星时，就必须留意朝向上升点的黏附，以及六分、四分与对冲的边，尤其在上升相等、或升起相等、或力量相等的星座，即相听与相望的星座，或在投射映点的度数中。同样，若上升点是释放星，也必须同样按上升时间审视朝向月亮的间隔。

From experience it has seemed best to me to judge as deadly degrees and powerful testimonies those of the Ascendant and of the Moon toward one another, and those square and opposed to them. For these have no ordinary power in the arrangement of the angles. And since much deception occurs each time concerning the releasing or destroying places, and since some, roughly speaking, offer [text uncertain] the matters of the theory, the absence of a testing of the truth produces blame and aversion, so I was compelled, having found it out, to make the deception clear in addition. For whenever the releasings by themselves [lacuna] is found to be out of accord with the apparent destruction, one must examine both numbers and consider this to be the period of life according to rising times, provided it does not greatly exceed the greatest period; for some rarely live. Or also otherwise: whenever a great interval of the releasing is found when the Moon and the Ascendant are in the same sign, or when by some other releasing it does not happen that the interval is found in the signs of long rising, so that the releasing places draw near to one another, one should count up the periods according to rising times and, taking half of them, consider that the period of life. One must examine the releasing not only for the greatest interval or for long-lived persons, but also for the least and compounded releasings, for the short-lived. For the releasing judgement of the periods, the phases of the Moon by degree, reckoned in each sign with respect to the releasings and fitted to the chronology of the interval, reveal the destruction in advance, especially those from the Moon; for she, having become releaser, will be destroyed by herself; and these are the phases of the conjunction or full moon and of the two half-moons, the one which is first carried toward the western place being effective.

按经验，我觉得最好把上升点与月亮彼此之间的见证，以及与它们成四分与对冲的那些，判为致死的度数与有力的见证。因为这些在诸角的排列上具有非同寻常的力量。既然每次在释放之位或毁坏之位上都发生许多错误，又因为有些人大致地提供〔原文疑有讹误〕理论之事，缺乏对真相的检验就造成指责与厌弃，所以我不得不在找出之后，把这错误也讲明白。因为每当释放本身〔此处原文有缺〕被发现与看来的毁坏不相合时，就必须审视两个数目，按上升时间把这个当作寿命的时期，只要它不大大超过最大的时期；因为有些人很少活那么久。或者也另外这样：每当月亮与上升点在同一星座而发现释放的间隔很大，或者按另外某种释放，间隔恰好不在上升时间长的星座里，以致释放之位彼此靠近，就应当按上升时间把时期加起来，取其一半，当作寿命的时期。不仅对最大的间隔或长寿的人要审视释放，对短命的人也要审视最小的与复合的释放。对时期的释放判断，月亮按度数的诸相，在每个星座里按诸释放计算，并配合间隔的时间推算，就预先显示毁坏，尤其是从月亮起的那些；因为她成为释放星时，会被她自己毁坏；这些相是合朔或满月以及两个半月的相，其中最先被带向西方之位的那一个是有效的。

Hence let no one think that we have composed in many ways and diversely; for I am content to have indicated every position of the question, and it is possible for those who engage with it, having trained themselves in the methods over time and having set aside the many, to arrive at the natural and unerring road. For I said before, in what precedes, that some things composed obscurely by the ancients I have solved, others I thought to be well as they seemed to some, so that I might not seem to have been uninitiated in the study, and others I myself discovered individually and composed, by which those who are persuaded will acquire an entry they will not regret. One must observe the releasing and destroying places, in the signs or terms of which planets they happen to be; for from these the causes and the deaths are grasped according to their natural activities. One must examine, then, which planet is afflicted or helped by which, or is in sympathy or alien, and how their configurations toward one another are, natally, by entry, and in the receptions of the periods. Concerning the hours by sign and by degree and the productive degrees, a long account has been shown by us before, of those which have harmony with the period of life, in many and varied ways, and even if they do not have the same or a nearby ending in the same degrees or the same signs, which is thought by many to be rare and hard to believe; but with the circuit of the cosmos all things are possible, attainable, venerable, and true, and it extends through countless and varied methods as far as one, seeking, finds, not through deceptions but through natural workmanship. For the cosmos itself is free from error, and the good and venerable things it possesses it shows ungrudgingly, plain to all by day and by night; and when seen they are not grasped, but when conceived by the intelligence they are known, as each person apprehends them. From this, what is done, what comes about, and what is said, being graspable, I too have taken my share, leaving aside who they might be, and whence, and how; for others have made endless discourses about such matters. But come, having compared what was found and tested from the observation of periods, and having become an initiate, I have composed them, thinking that I have set a beginning of satiety [text uncertain] in my writings; I form them anew and do not leave off toiling with pleasure; for the workmanship of the cosmic things and the discovery of what is sought lead me on, entwining me with newer theorems.

所以，不要让人以为我们写得多种多样、各不相同；因为我满足于已指出这问题的每一种情形，那些从事它的人，经过一段时间在诸方法上的操练，撇开众多的方法，就能到达那条合乎自然而无误的道路。因为我在前面说过，古人晦涩写成的一些东西我已解开，另一些我认为照某些人看来的样子就很好，免得我显得在研习上未入门，还有一些是我自己单独发现并写成的，信服的人借此会得到一个不会后悔的入门。必须观察释放之位与毁坏之位，看它们恰好在哪些行星的星座或界里；因为从这些，原因与死亡按它们的自然作为而被把握。所以必须审视哪颗行星被哪颗所伤或所助，或相感或异己，以及它们彼此的格局如何，在本命中、在进入时、在时期的接受中。关于按星座与按度数的时辰与得力的度数，我们在前面已用多种多样的方式作了长篇说明，即那些与寿命时期相和谐的，即使它们在同样的度数或同样的星座里没有同样或相近的终点，这在许多人看来是罕见而难以置信的；但随着宇宙的运转，一切都是可能的、可达到的、可敬的而真实的，它延伸过无数多样的方法，直到人寻求而找到，不是借欺骗，而是借自然的手艺。因为宇宙本身没有错误，它所拥有的善与可敬之物，它毫不吝惜地显示出来，白天黑夜对所有人都明明白白；被看见时它们不被把握，但被心智领会时就被认识，各人按自己所能把握的。由此，所做的、所发生的与所说的，既可把握，我也分得了我的一份，撇开它们可能是谁、从何而来、怎样而来；因为别人对这类事已经作了无尽的论述。但来吧，我把从时期的观察中所找到与检验过的加以比较，成了入门者之后，写下了它们，以为我已在我的著作里设下了满足的开端〔原文疑有讹误〕；我把它们重新塑造，不停地带着愉悦辛劳；因为宇宙之事的手艺与对所求之事的发现引导我，用更新的定理把我缠绕。
