卷一·第十至十五章　七曜周日、年主、阴阳度与月相

X. On the Seven-Zone Week, that is, the Sabbath Day, Reckoned by Hand.

第十章　论七带周，即安息日，用手算求

Concerning the week and the sabbath day, as follows. Take the full years from Augustus and the intercalary days, add also the days from Thoth up to the day of birth, and from these subtract 7 as many times as you can; count the remainder from the Sun, and whatever planet you end at, the day will be that planet's. The order of the planets with respect to the days is as follows: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn. The arrangement of the zones is as follows: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon; from this arrangement the hours are indicated, and from the hours the day of the next planet. For example: year 4 of Hadrian, Mechir 13 by the Alexandrian reckoning, 1st hour of the night. The full years from Augustus are 148, the intercalary days 36, and the days from Thoth to Mechir 13 are 163; the total is 347. I subtract 49 weeks; 4 remain. Counting from the Sun, this ends at the day of Mercury; and the 1st hour of the night is Mercury's, the second the Moon's, the third Saturn's, the fourth Jupiter's, the fifth Mars's, the sixth the Sun's, the seventh Venus's, the eighth Mercury's, the ninth the Moon's, the tenth Saturn's, the eleventh Jupiter's, the twelfth Mars's; of the day, the 1st hour is the Sun's, the 2nd Venus's, the third Mercury's, the fourth the Moon's, the fifth Saturn's, the sixth Jupiter's, the seventh Mars's, the eighth the Sun's, the ninth Venus's, the tenth Mercury's, the eleventh the Moon's, the twelfth Saturn's. Then next comes the following day, that is, Mechir 14; it will be Jupiter's, and so will its 1st hour.

关于星期与安息日，如下。取从奥古斯都起的满年数和闰日，再加上从托特月到出生之日的天数，从中尽可能多次地减去七；把余数从太阳数起，数止于哪颗行星，这一日就属那颗行星。诸星配日的次序如下：太阳、月亮、火星、水星、木星、金星、土星。诸带的排列如下：土星、木星、火星、太阳、金星、水星、月亮；由这个排列显示各小时，又由各小时显示下一颗行星之日。例如：哈德良第四年，按亚历山大历梅希尔月十三日，夜里第一小时。从奥古斯都起的满年是一百四十八，闰日三十六，从托特月到梅希尔月十三日的天数是一百六十三；合计三百四十七。我减去四十九个星期；余四。从太阳数起，止于水星之日；夜里第一小时属水星，第二属月亮，第三属土星，第四属木星，第五属火星，第六属太阳，第七属金星，第八属水星，第九属月亮，第十属土星，第十一属木星，第十二属火星；白天的第一小时属太阳，第二属金星，第三属水星，第四属月亮，第五属土星，第六属木星，第七属火星，第八属太阳，第九属金星，第十属水星，第十一属月亮，第十二属土星。接着是下一日，即梅希尔月十四日；它属木星，它的第一小时也是。

XI. On the Ruler of the Year.

第十一章　论年主

If you also wish to learn the ruler of the year in the same way, take for example, in the same instance, the full years of Augustus, 148, the intercalary days, 36, and 1 day of Thoth: the total is 185. From these I subtract 26 weeks; 3 remain. Count these from the Sun: the year ends at Mars. Once you have learned the lord of the year, you will also find the lord of the month in this way, using the arrangement of the zones in the upward direction. For example, Thoth will be Mars's; since the 29th of Thoth again ends at Mars, the 30th will be Mercury's, the first of Phaophi Jupiter's, the 30th Venus's; the 1st of Hathyr Saturn's, the 1st of Choiak the Moon's, that of Tybi Mercury's, that of Mechir Venus's. Since, then, the lord of the year is Mars, of the month Venus, of the day Mercury, and of the hour the Sun [sic], it will be necessary to examine how these are placed in the nativity. For when they are suitably placed and belong to the sect, they signify activity, and above all when the lord of the year happens to be passing through the current year, the lord of the month the month, and the lord of the day the day. But if they have fallen out of the favourable places or receive testimony from malefics, they signify adversities and disturbances.

如果你也想用同样的办法得知年主，例如在同一个例子里，取奥古斯都的满年一百四十八、闰日三十六，以及托特月的一日：合计一百八十五。我从中减去二十六个星期；余三。从太阳数起：这一年止于火星。一旦得知年主，你也可以这样找到月主，按诸带的排列向上数。例如，托特月属火星；既然托特月二十九日又止于火星，三十日就属水星，法奥菲月初一属木星，三十日属金星；哈蒂尔月初一属土星，霍亚克月初一属月亮，提比月的属水星，梅希尔月的属金星。既然年主是火星，月主是金星，日主是水星，时辰主星是太阳〔原书如此〕，就必须查看它们在本命中位置如何。因为它们位置适宜、又属于当令的一方时，就主有作为，尤其当年主正好行经当年、月主行经当月、日主行经当日之时。但如果它们失位，或受凶星见证，就主逆境与扰乱。

To me, however, it has seemed more natural to take the full years from Augustus and the intercalary days, as set out above, and the days from Thoth up to the day of birth, to cast out the weeks, count off the remainder from the Sun, and judge that planet to be lord of the year at which the number ended; for in each nativity the natal day will hold the place of the first day of the year. It does not seem reasonable that those born in the same year should all have fallen under a single rulership. In general, then, the ancients determined the lord of the year and of cosmic movements from the first day of Thoth (for there they made the beginning of the year), but it would be more natural to do so from the rising of the Dog Star.

不过在我看来更合乎自然的是：照上面所说，取从奥古斯都起的满年与闰日，以及从托特月到出生之日的天数，去掉整星期，把余数从太阳数起，数止于哪颗行星，就判那颗行星为年主；因为在每个本命里，生日就占了岁首之日的位置。同一年出生的人全都落在同一个主星之下，这似乎不合理。总之，古人从托特月初一定年主与世运之主（因为他们以那一天为岁首），但从天狼星的升起来定，会更合乎自然。

XII. On Masculine and Feminine Degrees.

第十二章　论阳性度与阴性度

Concerning masculine and feminine degrees, as follows. Of the masculine signs the first 2½ degrees will be masculine and the next 2½ feminine; of the feminine signs the first 2½ will be feminine, the next masculine, and the next feminine. For conjunctional nativities the degree of the conjunction will show this, and for full-moon nativities the degree of the full moon; but some go by the degree in which the Ascendant or the Moon is.

关于阳性度与阴性度，如下。阳性星座最初二度半是阳性，其后二度半是阴性；阴性星座最初二度半是阴性，其次是阳性，再其次是阴性。合朔之命由合朔的度数显示这一点，望月之命由望月的度数显示；但有些人看上升点或月亮所在的度数。

XIII. On the Illuminations of the Moon.

第十三章　论月亮的照明

The illuminations of the Moon are as follows. On her first day she shines for ½ ¼ 1/20 of an hour; on her second, 1 ½ 1/10; and always, whatever her age in days, multiply it by four, take a fifth, and declare that to be the number of hours. For example, the Moon is 15 days old; four times this makes 60, of which a fifth is 12; so she shines, as she begins to wane, for 12 hours [text uncertain]. On her first day, then, she shines for ½ ¼ 1/20 of an hour; on her second, 1 ½ 1/10 hours; on her third, 2 1/3 1/15 hours; on her fourth, 3 1/5 hours; on her fifth, 4 hours; on her sixth, 4 ½ ¼ 1/20 hours. On her seventh, 5½ 1/10 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 5 1/10]. On her eighth, 6 1/3 1/15 [corrected: Kroll prints 6 1/6 1/15]. On her ninth, 7 1/5 hours; on her tenth, 8 hours; on her eleventh, 8 ½ ¼ 1/20 hours. On her twelfth, 9½ 1/10 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 9 1/5 1/10]. On her thirteenth, 10 1/3 1/15 hours [corrected: Kroll prints 13 1/15]. On her fourteenth, 11 1/5 hours; on her fifteenth, 12 hours. Likewise from the 16th day onward the hours decrease in the same way as from the 1st to the 15th.

月亮的照明如下。她在第一日照耀一小时的二分之一又四分之一又二十分之一；第二日，一又二分之一又十分之一；总之，无论她是第几日，把日数乘以四，取五分之一，就宣称这是小时数。例如，月亮第十五日；四倍得六十，其五分之一是十二；所以她在开始亏缺时照耀十二小时〔原文疑有讹误〕。所以第一日她照耀一小时的二分之一又四分之一又二十分之一；第二日一又二分之一又十分之一小时；第三日二又三分之一又十五分之一小时；第四日三又五分之一小时；第五日四小时；第六日四又二分之一又四分之一又二十分之一小时。第七日五又二分之一又十分之一小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作五又十分之一〕。第八日六又三分之一又十五分之一〔据算改正：Kroll 本作六又六分之一又十五分之一〕。第九日七又五分之一小时；第十日八小时；第十一日八又二分之一又四分之一又二十分之一小时。第十二日九又二分之一又十分之一小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作九又五分之一又十分之一〕。第十三日十又三分之一又十五分之一小时〔据算改正：Kroll 本作十三又十五分之一〕。第十四日十一又五分之一小时；第十五日十二小时。同样，从第十六日起，小时数照从第一日到第十五日的样子递减。

XIV. On the Concealment of the Moon.

第十四章　论月亮的隐没

The Moon becomes invisible as she moves toward conjunction, degree by degree in each sign, as follows. Wherever the Sun is found, take half the rising time of that sign, and she will fall short of the Sun by that much. For example, the Sun is in Aries in the second clime; the rising time of the sign is 20, half of which is 10; subtracting the 10 from the 30, the Moon is invisible in Pisces at about 20°. The Sun is in Taurus: half the rising time is 12; the Moon will be invisible in Aries at about 18°. The Sun is in Gemini: half the rising time of the sign is 14; the Moon, then, will be invisible at about Taurus 16°. The Sun is in Cancer: half the rising time is 16; the Moon will be invisible in Gemini at about 14°. The Sun is in Leo: half the rising time is 18; the Moon will be invisible in Cancer at about 12°. The Sun is in Virgo: half the rising time is 20; the Moon will be invisible in Leo at about 10°. Likewise for the remaining signs.

月亮趋向合朔时，在各个星座里逐度变得不可见，如下。太阳在哪里，就取那个星座上升时间的一半，月亮离太阳就差那么多。例如，太阳在第二气候带的白羊；这个星座的上升时间是二十，其一半是十；从三十减去十，月亮约在双鱼二十度隐没。太阳在金牛：上升时间的一半是十二；月亮将约在白羊十八度隐没。太阳在双子：这个星座上升时间的一半是十四；那么月亮将约在金牛十六度隐没。太阳在巨蟹：上升时间的一半是十六；月亮将约在双子十四度隐没。太阳在狮子：上升时间的一半是十八；月亮将约在巨蟹十二度隐没。太阳在处女：上升时间的一半是二十；月亮将约在狮子十度隐没。其余的星座也是如此。

XV. On the Third-Day, Seventh-Day, and Fortieth-Day Moon.

第十五章　论第三日、第七日与第四十日的月亮

Concerning the third day, the seventh day, and the fortieth day, as follows. Let the Moon be at Scorpio 7°: the third day will be at Sagittarius 7°. For this is how the days must be sought; and besides, the 7th degree of Sagittarius stands as the third day. The seventh day will be found, for the purpose of forecasting, on the side of the square, at about Aquarius 7°; and the fortieth day at about Taurus 7°. Some add 160 to the degrees of the natal Moon and count off from the Moon's sign. Others add the Moon's natal degree to the third, seventh, and fortieth days, calculate the Moon, and reckon from where she then is. In general, then, they mark out fortunate, unfortunate, and middling nativities from the third, seventh, and fortieth days: when these places are regarded by benefics in productive places and not by malefics, declare the nativities exceedingly fortunate and great; when two are regarded by benefics and the third by malefics, middling; when all three are regarded by malefics alone, the benefics being turned away, unfortunate; and if the planets are mixed, call them middling.

关于第三日、第七日与第四十日，如下。设月亮在天蝎七度：第三日将在射手七度。因为必须这样寻求这些日子；何况射手第七度就成了第三日。第七日为预言起见，将在四分的一边上找到，约在水瓶七度；第四十日约在金牛七度。有些人在本命月亮的度数上加一百六十，从月亮的星座数去。另一些人把月亮的本命度数加到第三、第七、第四十日上，推算月亮，从她那时所在之处算起。总之，他们由第三、第七与第四十日来标出幸运、不幸与中等的本命：这几处若受到落在得力之位的吉星照看，而不受凶星照看，就宣布本命极其幸运而伟大；两处受吉星照看、第三处受凶星照看，就是中等；三处都只受凶星照看、吉星都不相照，就是不幸；若诸星混杂，就说是中等。
