卜卦占星12宮位相關判斷

卜卦占星12宮位相關判斷譯者: 王小亞

由於天文學是如此超然與詭秘，本身就是種藝術，在人們能達到正確的判斷之前，應當對它抱以尊重。因為即使是擁有慧眼都無法穿透它的一半，近代只有少數專家被認可富有經驗，並充分了解如何正確判斷。因此我創作這本將命名為《天文占卜學》的著作。在本書中，我將充分地教導，如何省時省力地判斷。在這門學科中，上升、時間表不再象在占星學裡那樣必不可少了。

一宮的問題：

如果你欲了解任何一個人的壽命長短，那麼請看上升點守護星，如果它位於強有力的基本宮，則象徵著長壽；位於固定宮，則象徵著中等壽命；在變動宮，短壽。如果位於強有力的基本宮，則象徵著他年齡較大；位於固定宮，中等年齡；位於變動宮，年齡較小。

對於土星而言，較為年少指的是30歲，中等年齡指的是40歲，年長指的是47歲。

對火星而言，年少指15歲，中等年齡指40歲，高齡指47歲。

對太陽而言，年少指19歲，中等年齡指45歲，高齡指82歲。

對金星而言年少指8歲，中等年齡指45歲，高齡指82歲。

水星的年少是指20歲，中等年齡指49歲，高齡指80歲。

月亮的年少指15歲，中等年齡指39歲，高齡指107歲。

同時還得觀察下如果火星或土星在1宮，且與8宮的宮主星同在，並且太陽在8宮，則問卜者不得活；同樣如果上升宮主星碰巧為無效，而火星在8宮，則問卜者不得活；但如果日月合相於7宮，金星在2宮，那麼他將過得很好。

出生時的意外則同樣考慮。

土星或水星在1宮，則此人愚蠢且饒舌；

火星與水星在1宮，則此人不會是奴顏婢膝的，反而口舌是非多且喜嘲弄；

太陽與水星在1宮，則此人實話實說；

太陽在白羊座，此人會致力於學習任何他所聽到的知識；

金星在第7宮，則此人奢侈；

若土星、水星居於其落陷之地，則此人性癖好反常（雞姦、獸奸、同性等等）；

若太陽、金星在第10宮，而月亮位於1宮，則此人心胸寬闊、慷慨、自由主義；

若金星、水星及龍頭（北交點）在1宮，則此人貪婪；

若月亮及火星居於1宮，則此人受到很大束縛；

若火星為命主星，則此人將會富有、毒舌、喜爭論。

若太陽居1宮，則此人善妒、膚色白皙、不會很瘦亦不會很胖；

若金星居1宮，則此人膚色白而清秀；

若水星居1宮，則此人不沉穩，往往多動。

若月亮居1宮，則此人臉、胸膛、手臂長得優雅得體。

若土星居1宮，則此人顯得黑而臟相。

若木星居1宮，則此人有張圓臉、乾淨的前額、面色紅潤中透著些白皙。

如果你知道他的官職或技能的話：

若月亮與土星同宮，並在1宮、4宮、7宮、10宮，那麼就不大利於他在城市中置房產，也不利於建造船舶，同樣對他而言，耕作土地、裝點攀爬植物、植樹也並不有利。but to be imploded about fome office belonging to the water，或與婚姻有關、或成為郵遞員、信使；總之不要讓此人僱主互動過多，因為此人不會從他那獲得任何聲望；

若月亮在3宮或5宮，這將對此人很有利；在第2、8、6、12宮，則不好不壞。

Jupiter signifies Bishops, Prelates, Nobles, Potentates, Judges, Wife men, Merchants and furers.

木星象徵著主教、高級神職者、貴族、當權者、法官、已婚男子、商人及furers（這是啥？）。

Mars signifies Warriors, Incendiaries, Homicides, Physitians, Barbers, Hangmen, Gold-smiths, Cooks, furnaces, and all fireworks. And if Mars be in strong Signs, he will be poor and die in captivity, unless he put himself in arms with some souldier of vassal.

火星象徵著勇士、縱火犯/煽動者、殺人者、內科醫生（Physitians？）、理髮師、絞刑劊子手、廚師、鍋爐工（furnaces），以及其他所有火系職業。如果火星位於強大的星座內，他會貧困並在囚禁中死去，除非他成為諸候的戰士。

The Sun signifies Emperors, Kings, Princes, Nobles, Lords and Judges.

太陽象徵著皇帝、國王、王子、貴族、領主和法官。

Venus signifies Queens and Ladies, Marriages, Communications, Friendship, Apothecaries, Taylors, and such as make Ornaments for players , sellers of Cloth, Jesters, Vintners, Players at dice, Whores and Robbers.

金星象徵著女王/王后、女士/夫人/小姐、婚禮、交流溝通、友誼、藥劑師、裁縫、飾品匠、售衣者、愛開玩笑者、酒商、擲骰子者、妓女和強盜。

Mercury signifies Clerks, Philosophers, Astrologers, Geometricians, Arithmeticians, Latine writers, and Painters, and all subtil Artists, as well men as women, and their Arts.

水星象徵著職員/店員/辦事員、哲學家、占星家、幾何學者、算術家、拉丁文寫作者、畫家，以及所有微妙的藝術家，包括男人、女人，及他們的藝術品。

Concerning the intention of the Querent, look unto the Sign ascending, and his Lord; and where you finde the Lord of the Ascendent, he comes to inquire about something pertaining to that House; and if the Sun be Lord of the Ascendent, his Question is concerning fear which he is in of some man ; if Venus, he enquireth of Arts, that he may know some proper Arts, or he enquireth concerning things belonging to women. If Mercury be Lord of the Ascendent, he feek-after something that is lost, or enquireth concerning some infirmity. If the Moon, he seeketh also for something lost, or inquireth about sickness, or some disease in his eyes. If Saturn be Lord of the Ascendent, he enquireth about some sickness, or concerning a Prince; and keepeth silence, but hath some great grief or anguish in his heart. If Jupiter be Lord of the Ascendent, his Question is concerning some infirmity, or restitution, or for some office which he desireth to have. If Mars, he enquireth for some fear, or of an enemy, death, sickness, riches, or substance.

關於問卜者的意向，可以看下上升星座及其守護星，以及守護星落於何處，就意味著問卜者詢問的是與該宮有關的事務。

若上升星座守護星是太陽，則他是詢問由於某個男人而導致的擔心、害怕。

若是金星，則他是詢問關於藝術品，或他能識別某些藝術品，或他是詢問關於女性的事物。

若是水星，則他是尋找失物，或是詢問關於某些疾病、衰弱、缺點。

若是月亮，則他同樣是尋找失物、詢問疾病，或關於一位王子。並且雖然保持沉默，但心中滿懷巨大的悲痛與苦悶。

若是木星，則問卜者關注的是某些病症、弱點、賠償，或他想獲得的職位。

若是火星，他問詢的是關於恐懼、敵人、死亡、疾病、房地產/財富、或物質。

Questions of the second House.

關於2宮的問題

If you would be informed concerning the subtance of any man whether he shall be rich or not, behold the Lord of the second, which if he shall be with a good Planet, & a good Planet likewise in the second, he shall be rich ; but if the Lord of the second be joined with evil Planets, and an evil Planet shall be in the second, he shall be poor.

如果你想關注下大致來說某人將來是否會富有，則觀察下2宮主：

若2宮主與吉星同在，並有吉星落入2宮，則他將富有；

若2宮主與凶星相管理，並有凶星落入2宮，則他將貧窮。

If you would know whether you shall have again a thing lent, or not, look if there be an evil Planet in the second, and disagreeing with his Lord; then he that detaineth the thing lent, will not willingly render back the same : But if there be a good Planet in the second, and agreeing with his Lord, it shall easily be recovered ; and if the Lord of the second be exalted and be evil , or if an evil Planet be with him in the second , or if the Lord of the second be exalted, be which keepeth the thing deposited, will not willingly restore the same, but he shall do it whether he will or not. And if an evil Planet be in the second, it"s to be recovered: But if Mercury be in the second so that he be his Lord, and bringeth contrariety, then it shall be recovered; and if a good Planet be in the second House, he signifies recovery, although he be the Lord thereof, Mark therefore the concord and discord of the Planets:

如果你想知道你是否能收回借出之物，則觀察：

若凶星位於2宮，並與2宮主呈緊張關係，則借物之人想扣留不還；

若吉星位於2宮，且與2宮主呈和諧關係，則所借之物便能輕易歸還；

若2宮主為凶星且擢升，或凶星與2宮主同在2宮，或2宮主擢升，，則借物之人想扣留不還，但他最終仍將歸還，無論他願意與否；

若凶星在2宮，則所借之物能歸還；

若水星在2宮，且為2宮主，並帶來了矛盾，則所借之物能歸還；

若吉星在2宮，且為2宮主，則意味著所借之物能歸還。

行星標誌著關係和諧與否。

the Moon and Jupiter are friends , the Moon and Mars enemies ; Mercury and the Sun are friends. Mercury and Mars enemies ; Venus and Jupiter are friends, Jupiter and the Moon are enemies. The Planets are said to be friends, when they agree in one nature and quality, as Mars and the Sun, because both their natures is hot and dry; Venus and the Moon do agree in cold and moisture : or when Planets do agree in substance and nature, as Jupiter and Venus are friends : or when the House of one is the exaltation of another, or on the contrary.

月亮與木星為友好關係，與火星為敵對關係；

水星與太陽為友好關係，與火星為敵對關係；

金星與木星為友好關係，木星與月亮為敵對關係。

當行星的本質與性質相一致時，則為友好關係，例如火星與太陽，因為它們的本質都是熱而干；

金星與月亮都具有冷而濕的性質。

當行星的內容與性質相一致時，如木星與金星，為友好關係；

當某行星所守護的宮位為另一

4宮的問題

如果你想知道你所在的任何地方（城市、鄉村、國家、或者房子）是否對你有利，要看上升宮主星、4宮主星和7宮主星；

如果4宮主星在第7宮，並且相位良好，並且1宮主星和第10宮也不錯，而且還有吉星駐守，那麼對你來說呆在你所在的地方是有利的。

如果7宮主星是個吉星，而4宮主星是個凶星，那麼對你來說堅守在那裡是不利的，你想繼續呆在那裡會蒙受更多損失，有不幸發生。

但是如果你想知道一個出外的人何時回來，要看上升星座的主星; 如果這顆星在四軸任何一個點上，他最終會回來；

如果不在，要看這顆星和上升點相差多遠，這將決定他在那個地方呆多久、多少年。

如果你想看物質的匱乏或豐富情況，那要看4宮頭落在固定宮、本位宮還是變動宮;

固定宮表示匱乏；本位宮為中等，既不太貴也不便宜；變動宮是豐富的和有利可圖的。

還要考慮行星，如果它們在固定宮裡，那麼它們表示的含義也是好的，記著：

土星代表土地、藤蔓植物、園林工具、皮革、果實、玉米、橡樹果、櫟五倍子和石榴。

木星表示石油、蜂蜜、小蟲、布料、葡萄酒、草和臭味的東西。

火星代表葡萄酒、肉、特別是肥豬肉、戰爭、盔甲和那些代表到哪裡為止的東西，還有紅色外套。

太陽代表小麥、葡萄酒、紫色、布料和所有金子做的東西，馬和鳥、鷹。

金星代表肥沃和葡萄、無花果和棗椰子，fith和pathtimes.

水星代表大麥、栗子、穀物、錢和光滑閃亮的東西。

月亮代表燕麥、乳酪、火和falt ，奶牛、公羊、母雞和銀器，因此代表擁有這些東西的多寡。

如果4宮主星在第7宮，並且相位良好，並且1宮主星和第10宮也不錯，而且還有吉星駐守，那麼對你來說呆在你所在的地方是有利的。

如果7宮主星是個吉星，而4宮主星是個凶星，那麼對你來說堅守在那裡是不利的，你想繼續呆在那裡會蒙受更多損失，有不幸發生。

Questions of fifth House.

關於5宮的問題

If you would know whether a woman be with Child, or whether she will have any children, or not, look if the Lord of the Ascendent be in the seventh. or the Lord of the fifth in the first, or the Lord of the first in the fifth, or if the Lord of the fifth be in the seventh , or if the Lord of the seventh be in the fifth, or the Moon with them ; or if good Planets be in the first, or the fifth, or with the Lord of the fifth, she is with child, or may have children; but if you finde none of them , but evil Planets in the fame places, she neither is with childe, neither will she have any children : and if there be both good and evil Planets in the said places , then happily the may have children, but they will not live ; but if Cancer , Scorpio, Pisces shall be in the first or fifth House , she may have children ; but if Leo and Virgo be there, she is not with child, neither shall she ever have any children; or If the Lord of the fifth shall be in them Houses.

如果你想知道某位女子是否懷孕，或她是否將會有孩子，則觀察：

上升點守護星若位於7宮，或5宮主位於1宮，或1宮主在5宮，或5宮主在7宮，或7宮主在5宮，或月亮與它們同在；或吉星在1宮、或5宮、或與5宮主同在，則此女子懷孕或可能有孩子；

但若你沒有發現以上任一徵象，反而凶星出現在所提及的位置，則她沒有懷孕，甚至將來也不會有任何孩子；

若吉星與凶星同時出現在以上提及位置，則可慶幸該女子會有孩子，但可能無法存活；

若巨蟹、天蠍、雙魚在第1或第5宮，則她會有孩子；

若獅子、處女在第5宮，則她沒有懷孕，以後也不會有任何孩子；

（PS：這裡的「if Leo and Virgo be there」，be there是不是僅指5宮？還是1、5宮？）

若5宮主在獅子、處女內也是如此。

And if, you would know, within how many years she shall have children, look where you finde the Lord of the fifth ; for in that year she shall have issue ; if he be in the first, in the first year ; if in the second, in the second year; and to you may number unco the twelfth House. And if mean Signes be in the Ascendent, she that is with child hath twins in her wombe, which will live, if a good Planet be in the first; and if an evil Planer, they will die; and if there be one good and another evil, one shall live, and another die ; and if a mean Signe shall be ascending, and Mars in that Signe, the mother shall die, and not the childe ; if Saturn, both the mother and child shall die , and if the Dragons Tail be there, its possible they will both die ; but the infant shall not escape , and if the Dragons Tail be so in the first, and the tenth House fallen: the mother shall die; likewise if Mars and the Moon, or Mars and Saturn be in the first, seventh or tenth, the mother shall die.

如果你想知道，在多少年之內她會有孩子，則觀察5宮主在哪，這反應了在哪一年她會有孩：

若5宮主在1宮，則在第1年會有；若在2宮，則第2年會有；依此類推直至12宮。

若上升點在固定星座內，則她懷的是對雙胞胎。若吉星在1宮，則會存活。若凶星於此，則孩子會夭折；若一凶星一吉星位於此，則其中之一會存活，另一個孩子夭折；

若上升點在固定星座內，並且火星也在此，則母親會死亡，而非孩子；若土星在此，母子皆亡；若龍尾（南交點）在此，母子也可能皆亡，至少孩子無法避免；

若龍尾（南交點）落入1宮、10宮內，則母親會死亡；

同理觀察火星和月亮、火星和土星若在1、7、10宮內，則母親會死亡；

Whether the party with child shall miscarry, or nor. Consider if a moveable Signe be ascending, because if it be so, she will miscarry.

關於懷孕之人是否會流產，若上升點位於變動星座，則會流產。

If you would know whether a woman shall bring forth a man-child, or ai woman-child ; behold the Ascendent and his Lord, which if he be masculine, and in a masculine Signe, or in a masculine quarter of the Figure, it is a male-childe; but if the Lord of the Ascendent be feminine, and in a feminine Signe, or in a feminine quarter of the Circle, it will be a woman-child ; and so you shall consider also of the Moon. Consider also if more of the Planets be in masculine Slgnes, then it will be a male-child; and if many Planets be in feminine Signes, then it is a female-childe.

如果你想知道某個女子會生男孩還是女孩，則觀察下上升點及其守護星：

若守護星為陽性，且位於陽性星座，或位於陽性的1/4區域內，則會生男孩；

若守護星為陰性，且位於陰性星座，或位於陰性的1/4區域內，則會生女孩；

同理你也可參考下月亮；

同樣若大部分行星位於陽性星座，則會生男孩；

若大部分行星位於陰性星座，則會生女孩。

And if you would know whether the child be legitimate or adulterate; see if Saturn, Mars or the Dragons Tail be in the fifth, or with the Lord of the fifth ; because if it be so, it is adulterate , but if a good Planet shall be there, it is legitimate : and if the Lord of the first, be in the fifth, or with his Lord, it is legitimate ; and so likewise if the Lord of the fifth be found in the first, or with the Lord of the first.

如果你想知道孩子正直或頑劣：

若土星、火星或龍尾位於5宮，或與5宮主同在，則孩子頑劣；

若吉星位於5宮，則孩子正直；

若1宮主位於5宮，或與5宮主同在，則孩子頑劣；

同理，5宮主位於1宮，或與1宮主同在，則孩子頑劣；

If you desire to know whether rumours be true or false, see if you finde Saturn, Mars or the Dragons Tail, in the Ascendent ; because if they be so, then the rumours are false; but if you finde the Sun, Jupiter or the Dragons Head there, then they are true ; and if there be masculine Planets in masculine Signes, & feminine Planets in feminine Signes, then they are true ; and if both good and evil Planets be there, then they are partly true and partly false; and if there be a good Signe with the Planet, it testifies the truth ; and if the Planet fall with an evil Signe, then it is faise ; likewife if Mercury be in the first , the news is false : but if the Moon be in the first in a feminine Signe, or joyned with the Lord of the Ascendent in a feminine Signe, then the rumours are true ; also if good Planets be in the first, fifth or ninth, and feminine Signes, they are true; but if otherwise, they are not.

如果你想知道傳聞真假與否，則觀察：

若土星、火星或龍尾位於上升，則傳聞為假；

若太陽、木星或龍頭位於上升，則傳聞為真；

若陽性行星位於陽性星座，以及陰性行星位於陽陰性星座，則傳聞為真；

若吉星與凶星同在，則傳聞半真半假；

若行星落入吉星座，則傳聞為真；

若行星落入凶星座，則傳聞為假；

同理，若水星落入1宮，則傳聞為假；

若月亮落入1宮並出於陰性星座內，或在陰性星座內與上升點守護星相關連，則傳聞為真；

同樣，若吉星落入1、5、9宮，及陰性星座，則傳聞為真；

否則，傳聞為假。

If you would know whether any one that is absent will return, and when; see the Lord of the Ascendent and the first , which if you finde them together , for certain he will come, and is now beginning his Journey. Likewise if the Lord of the fifth be in the first, or with the Lord of the first, and if he be in his fall, the messenger is sick in his way; but if the Lord of the fifth be exalted, then he cometh joyfully. And if he be in a cadent Signe, he shall be grievously afflicted with sickness, or shall die.

如果你想知道某位缺席者是否會歸來，以及何時歸來，則觀察上升點的守護星及1宮情況：

若你發現1宮主落入1宮，則他肯定會來，並現在已正在途中；

同理若5宮主在1宮，或與1宮主同在，並且5宮主位於它落陷之處，則信使在途中生病；但若5宮主擢升，那麼他正快樂地在前來的途中；

若5宮主位於變動宮（3、6、9、12），那麼他正被疾病嚴重困擾，甚至會死去。

If you would know if he bringeth that with him for which he went, or nor, behold the Lord of the seventh ; which if he be good, he bringeth that which he sought for; and if he be in his fall, or an evil Planet be there, be bringeth nothing with him.

如果你想知道他是否帶著所行目的之物，觀察7宮主：

若7宮主為吉星，則他帶著所找尋之物；

若7宮主落陷，或凶星在7宮內，則他兩手空空。

Questions of the sixth House.

關於6宮的問題

Whether the sick shall recover his health, or die. If the Question be concerning his sickness, see if Saturn, or Mars, or the Dragons tail be in the first, and whether his Lord he joyued with an evil Planet, then he shall die soon. And if the Lord of the first be good, and evil Planets be in the first with his Lord, or likewise in the first or the eighth, for certain he will die : But if the Lord of the first be in the eighth, or with the Lord of the eighth ; or the Lord of the eighth in the first, or with the Lord of the first, there is doubt of his death. And if evil Planets do possess the Angles, evil and destruction is threatned to the sick. But if good Planets shall be in the first, sixth and eighth, and likewise in the Angles, and the Lord of the first be from the eighth & his Lord, then the sick person shall live and recover his health.

關於某人的病何時康復，或死亡：

如果問卜者關注的是自己的疾病，則觀察土星、或火星、或龍尾（南交點）是否位於1宮，而且1宮主是否與凶星相連，若是，則他將很快死去。

若1宮主為吉星，並且凶星位於1宮及與1宮主同在；或同理，凶星位於1宮或8宮，則此人必死無疑；

若1宮主在8宮，或與8宮主同在；或者8宮主在1宮，或與1宮主同在，則他未必會死亡；

若凶星支配著角宮，則對於該疾病有著不幸與毀滅的凶兆；

若吉星位於1、6、8宮，且同樣，1、8宮主位於角宮，則此人將存活並康復。

If you desire to know whether he will be cured by medicines, give the first House to the Physitian, the tenth to the sick, the seventh to his diseases, and the fourth to the medicines. If evill Planets be in the first, the Physitian shall profit him nothing ; but they testifie that this will be worse for the diseased : but the Fortunes do signifie, that he shall be profitable to him. And if evil Planets do occupy the tenth House, the sick person is the cause ; for they testifie, that he himself is the cause of his own disease : but the Fortunes being there, signifie the contrary. But if evil Planets be in the tenth House, they change the condition of the sick out of one disease into another ; but the Fortunes being there, do deliver him without the help of Physitians or medicines. Also evil Planets being in the fourth, do testifie, that the medicines do augment his grief; & the Fortunes being there, do mitigate and heal him.

如果你想知道醫藥能否治癒他，則將1宮視作醫師，10宮視作病人，7宮作為疾病，4宮作為醫藥。

若凶星位於1宮，則醫藥對於他無效；證明這將對病人有害；而福點則意味著醫藥對病人有益；

若凶星佔據10宮，則說明病因是該病人自己；證明是病人自己導致了疾病；但若福點居於此，則含義相反；

若凶星位於7宮，說明他們使病人從一種疾病改變成了另一種；但若福點在此，則無須醫藥也可治癒；

（此處疑文有誤，寫了2遍tenth house）

同樣若凶星位於4宮，證明醫藥會增加他的傷痛；若福點在此，則能減輕並治癒他。

If thou wouldst know if thou shalt go unto the person and heal him ; consider the place then : for if he shall be with Saturn, Mars, or the Dragons Tail, or with the Sun, go not unto him ; but if Jupiter, Venus or the Dragons Head be in the first or in the seventh, go, for it will be good ; and if there be the Moon with a good Planet, go, and give him physick ; but if she shall be with an evil Planet, and especially in the seventh House, then thou shalt not go; because thou shalt profit him nothing : and if there be good Planets there, go and look diligently to him, where or in what members he suffers ; because Aries hath the head, Taurus the neck,Cancer the breast and lungs, Leo the heart and stomack, Virgo the belly and intestines, Libra the reins and loyns, Scorpio the secret members, Sagitary the thighs, Capricorn the knees, Aquary the legs, and Pisces the feet.

如果你想知道你是否該去看望並治療他，則觀察其位置：

若它與土星、火星或龍尾（南交點）、太陽同在，則別去看望他；

若木星、金星或龍頭（北交點）位於1宮或7宮，則前往，將有好結果；

若月亮與吉星同在，那麼可前去，並治療他；

若月亮與凶星同在，尤其是位於第7宮，則不應前去，因為你對他毫無助益；

若吉星在7宮，則請多加探望；

具體病況及位置：

白羊座：頭部；金牛座：頸部；巨蟹座：胸部及肺；獅子座：心臟與胃；處女座：腹部與腸；天秤座：腎臟與腰部；天蠍座：隱密部位；射手座：大腿；摩羯座：膝蓋；水瓶座：小腿；雙魚座：足部。

關於7宮的問題

For theft, look unto the Lord of the seventh : which if he be in the first, the theft shall be restored again ; but if the Lord of the Lord be in the seventh, it shall be a longtime sought after, and at length shall be found : but if the Moon be in the fifth, or with his Lord, it shall be found; if the Moon be in the fifth, or with the Lord of the first, or in the first, it may be found ; but if the Sun and the Moon be in the fifth, and if the Lord of the eighth be with the Lord of the first in the first, it shall be found ; but if the Lord of the second be in the eighth, it shall not be found. And if Saturn,or Mars, or the Dragons Tail be in the second, it shall not befound, nor be altogether lost. And if the Lord of the second be in the first, the thing that is lost: shall be found, but it shall not be known from whence it came. If the Lord of the first be in the second, it may be found after much labour. And if the Lord of the second be in his fall, it will never be found ;but if he be exalted, it shall be found very well : but the seventh House sheweth the thief.

關於失物，觀察下7宮守護星：

若它位於第1宮，則將失物將被尋回；但若1宮守護星位於第7宮，則將尋找很久，但最終會找到；（註：「the Lord of the Lord be in the seventh」，是指7宮主在1，所以7宮主的宮主是指1宮主？）

若月亮在5宮，或與5宮主同在，則失物能找到；

若月亮在5宮，或與1宮主同在，或在1宮，則失物能找到；

若太陽和月亮在5宮，並且8宮主與1宮主同在1宮，則失物能找到；

若2宮主在8宮，則失物找不到；

若土星、或火星、或龍尾（南交點）在2宮，則失物找不到，但也並未完全丟失；

若2宮主在1宮，則失物能找到，但它並不在所認為該在之處；

若1宮主在2宮，則經歷大量搜尋工作後放可找到；

若2宮主居於其落陷之處，則失物永失；但若2宮主居於其擢升之處，則失物將被發現完好無損;

第7宮指代竊賊.

But if you would know what it is that is stollen , behold the Lord of the second ; which if he be Saturn, it is lead, iron,a kettle, a triver, a garment, or some black thine, or leather.If he be Jupiter, then it is some white thing, as tin, silver, or mixt with white & yellow veins. The Sun signifies gold and precious pearles. Mars signifies things belonging to the fire.Venus signifies things belonging to women, as gloves, rings,and fair ornaments. The Moon, beasts, fuch as horses, mules,etc. perfumes and wars. Mercury signifies money, books,writings, pictures, or garments of divers colours.

如果你想知道失物是什麼,觀察下2宮主:

若2宮主為土星，則失物為：鉛、鐵、水壺、triver、衣服、有點黑的物體、或皮革製品；

若2宮主為木星，則失物為：有點白的物體、例如錫、銀、或混雜著白色及黃色紋路。

若2宮主為太陽，則失物為：黃金及貴金屬、珍珠。

若2宮主為火星，則失物為：貨幣、書、稿件、畫作、或有各種顏色的服裝。

If you would know how many thieves there were, see the Lord of the sixth ; which if he be in the second,or with the Lord of the second, there were many thieves ; and if they be in the third, the brethren or kinsmen of the Querent have committed the theft.

如果你想知道竊賊數量，則觀察下6宮主：

若6宮主在2宮，或與2宮主同在，則竊賊數量眾多；

若6宮主在3宮，則竊賊是問卜者的兄弟或男性親屬召來的。

If you desire to know towards what Country the thief is fled, see in what Signe the Lord of the seventh is , for if he be in Aries, he is in the middle of the East part. If in Taurus in the South towards the East. If in Gemini, in the West towards the South. If in Cancer, full Norch. If in Leo, in the Est towards the North. If in Virgo, in the South towards the West. If in Libra, full West. If in Scorpio, in the North neer the West. If in Sagittary, in the East nigh the North. If in Capricorn, full South, if in Aquary, in the West towards the North. And if in Pisces, in the North towards the West.

如果你欲知曉竊賊逃向何處，則觀察7宮主位於哪個星座：

若7宮主在白羊座，則向正東部逃逸；金牛座，則逃向南偏東方；雙子座，則西偏南；巨蟹座，整個北部地區；獅子座，東偏北；處女座，南偏西；天秤座，整個西方；天蠍座，北部接近西部；射手座，東部接近北部；摩羯座，整個南部；水瓶座，西偏北；雙魚座，北偏西；

If you would know whether the thief hath carried all the things stollen away with him, see the Lord of the seventh and the eighth, and if the Lord of the seventh be in an Angle, he had a desire to carry away the same with him , but could not. If the Lord of the eighth be in a mean House, or in a cadent House, and the Lord of the second in a strong House, he hath carryed the theft wholly with him. And if the Lord of the seventh and the eighth be both in cadent Houses, he neither carryed it away, nor hath it. See by the seventh who is his companion, and what is his gain.

如果你想知道竊賊是否把所有失物隨身攜帶，則觀察7宮主和8宮主：

若7宮主位於角宮，那麼竊賊很想將失物帶在身邊，但卻辦不到；

若8宮主位於mean house或變動宮（3、6、9、12），並且2宮主落強宮，則竊賊將所有失物都帶在了身邊。

若7宮主及8宮主都位於變動，則竊賊未攜帶失物，甚至失物也不歸他所有。此時觀察7宮以了解誰是他同夥，以及對方所得為何物。

If you would know the descent or nobility of a man or woman, look unto the Lord of the seventh; which if you finde him in Angles, and the Lord of the first in Succedents or cadents, the woman is more noble then the man. But if the Lord of the Ascendent be in an Angle,& the Lord of the seventh in a succedent or cadent House, the man is more noble then the woman. And after the fame manner thou maist judge of two companions, or of any other persons whaisocever. And if the Lord of the seventh be in the ninth House, he will take a wife out of a forreigne Country.

如果你想知道某個男人或女人的血統或階級，那麼觀察下7宮主：

若7宮主在角宮，並且1宮主在隨後宮（2、5、8、11）或變動宮（3、6、9、12），則女方比男方階層高得多。

若上升點守護星位於角宮，並且7宮主在隨後宮或變動宮，則男方比女方階層高得多。

通過同樣方式你也能判斷2個同伴，或其他任何人。

若7宮主位於9宮，則他可能會娶異國人為妻。

If you desire to know whether an intended marriage shall take effect, or not, look to the Ascendent and his Lord, and the Moon, for the Querent; and the seventh House, and his Lord, for the woman. And if the Lord of the Ascendent or the Moon be joyned to the Lord of the seventh, or be in the seventh, the marriage will be effected ; or if the Lord of the seventh be in che first, or wich the Lord of the first, it will easily be brought to pass, and the woman is more desirous thereof, then the man.

如果你想知道，計劃中的婚姻實現與否，則觀察上升點及其守護星，而月亮象徵著問卜者；7宮及其守護星，象徵著女方。

若上升守護星或月亮與7宮主有聯繫，或位於第7宮，則能成婚；

若7宮主位於1宮，或與1宮主同在，則很輕易就能成婚，並且女方比男方更渴望成婚。

If you would know whether thy wife or friend hath any other lover or not, look if Mars be in the seventh, so that he be not in his own House, for then the hath not any other lover. And if Saturn be there, she loveth another; but he lieth not with her. And if the Dragons Tail be in the seventh, he lieth with her. And if Jupiter be there, she hardly containeth her self chaste. If Venus, she is merry, and much given to play and laughter, by reason whereof, she may be accounted a whore, and is not so. If Mercury be in the seventh, she had a lover, but now hath none. But if the Moon be in the seventh, she hath had no lover as yet, but will have one, and will be common. But if the Sun or the Dragons Head be there, she is chaste. And after the same manner may you judge in the ninth concerning friends or lovers.

如果你想知道，你的妻子或朋友是否有其他愛人，那麼觀察下火星是否位於7宮，那即是說，它不在它自己的宮中，那意味著沒有其他愛人。

若土星位於7宮，意味著她愛著別人，但那人並不和她在一起；

若龍尾（南交點）位於7宮，意味著她愛著別人，則她所愛之人與她共處；

若木星位於7宮，則她很難保有她的貞潔；

若金星在7宮，則她是快樂、經常玩樂、時常笑的人。但還有個可能是因為她是個娼妓，那就並不是真正快樂及愛笑之人。

若水星在7宮，則她曾經有愛人，但現在並沒有；

若月亮在7宮，則她尚未有過愛人，但即將會有一個，而且是個普通人；

若太陽或龍頭（北交點）在7宮，則她是貞潔女子。

同理你也可以通過9宮來判斷下朋友或愛人的情況。

If you would know which of them shall live longest, fee the Lord of the first and of the seventh, which of them shall be in the stronger and better place, or joyned to the strongest Planets ; and that person who is most free and remote from the Lord of the eighth and his participation, to whom the Lord of his House answereth, shall live longed.

如果你想知道他們兩中誰活得最久，那麼觀察1宮主和7宮主，哪一顆星所處的位置比較強勢，或與強勢的行星有聯繫。而1、7宮主中，與8宮主及其位置的聯繫最為寬鬆與遙遠的那個，所指代之人會活得較久。

If you desire to make a society or alliance, and would know whether it shall be brought to pass or not, or what shall happen thereupon, see if there be good Planets in the seventh and the first : and if so, the fellowship will be made, and good will come thereof; and you may judge it to continue so many years, months or dayes, as the Lord of the seventh hath signification of.

如果你想組織個社團或聯盟，並想知道它是否能通過，或因此會發生些什麼情況，那麼觀察下是否有吉星落入7宮及1宮；若1、7宮有吉星落入，則該團體能組織起來，並因此能帶來好處；通過7宮主所象徵的含義，你也能判斷它能持續多少年、月或日。

If you would know when such society shall be, look what Planet is in the sevench ; for if lie be good,it shall come to pass that same year: or wedlock, if the Queston be thereof.

如果你想知道該社團什麼時候能成立，則觀察7宮落入何星；若吉星落入，則該年就能成立；這也意味著問卜者已婚。

If you would know whether they will well agree, see the first and his Lord, which is the signifier of the Querent ; and the sevench House and his Lord, which is the House of companions, wives and concubines, which if they be concordant amongst themselves, there will be peace and union between them, and they shall profit ; but if the Planets be In discord, there will be strife between them, and the society will not profit.

如果你想知道他人會否贊同於你，則觀察1宮及其守護星，這象徵著問卜者；7宮及其守護星，象徵著同伴、妻妾情人們；如果它們之間和諧一致，那麼互相之間將和諧而團結，並且能得益；但如果這些行星互相衝突，則會互相爭鬥，該團體也無從獲益。

If you would know which of them shall gain most, see the first and his Lord , and the sevench and his Lord , and which of them standeth best ; or if they be evil, which of them falleth : and he that falleth shall lose, and he that is exalted shall gain. Or otherwise, and which is better, see the second and his Lord, and the eighth and his Lord ; and in which House is the better Planet, or his Lord that shall be found in the better place, or joyned with the better Planets he shall be the greater gainer. The second House and his Lord signifies the gain of the Querent : and the eighth House and his Lord signifies the gain of his fellow, or his part : and if they be both good, they shall both gain ; and if both evil, they shall both lose : and if one be good and the other evil, he whose significator is good, shall gain ; and he whose is evil, shall lose.

如果你想知道哪一方獲益最多，則觀察1宮、7宮及其守護星哪一個落點最佳；

若守護星為凶星，則看哪一個處於落陷，處於落陷的會損失，而擢升的一方獲益。

或者，誰更有利，也可以觀察下2宮、8宮及其守護星，看2、8宮是否落吉星，或2、8宮主是否落在較為有利的位置，或是否與吉星有聯繫，則該方為獲益較多者。

2宮及其守護星象徵的問卜者的收益；8宮及其守護星象徵著對方或其隸屬之方的收益；

如果兩方都情況良好，則雙方皆得利；若都不佳，則雙方皆損；

若一方吉而另一方凶，則吉方獲益，凶方受損。

And if you would know if two fellows shall love one another,look if the Lords of the first and the seventh be friends and agreeing, then they will love one to another, but if they be enemies and disagree, then they will not.

如果你想知道2人是否相愛，則觀察1宮主與7宮主是否友好，若友好，則他們相愛。如反之，則不會相愛。

If you desire to know who shall overcome in any cause, matter or controversie, behold the Lords of the first and the seventh, which if they be in Angles, neither of them shall overcome ; and see which of them is joyned with an evil Planet, because he shall overcome ; and if the Planet be evil from them both, the victor shall kill the conquered ; if one of them be strong, and the other weak, and the Planet which is in the strong House do not fall, nor hath not an evil Planet with him ; and if he which is weak be not in his own House, nor in his exaltation , nor with a good Planet, he whose Planet is in the strong House, shall overcome ; like" wife he whose significator is in a mean House, shall have great fear and doubt in his heart, becauce sometimes he shall hope to conquer, and otherwhiles fear to be overcome. And note, that in a Question concerning war and kingdom,it is said that there is more power and efficacie, or fortitude in the exaltation of a Planet, then in his House ; but in all other Questions the contrary.

如果你想知道在任何事件、狀況或糾紛下，哪一方會獲勝的話，觀察下1宮及7宮的守護星：

若它們位於角宮，則誰都不會獲勝；

若與凶星有聯繫，則該方會勝；

若兩者皆為凶星，則勝者將殺死被征服的一方；

若其中一方強勢，另一方弱勢，並且強勢一方的宮位中無落陷行星或凶星；而弱勢方守護星既並不在它本宮，也不居於其擢升之處，同時又無吉星在該宮，則守護星位於強宮的一方獲勝；

like" wife he whose significator is in a mean House，則他內心懷著巨大的恐懼和懷疑。因為有時他會期盼去征服，而有時又害怕被征服。並請注意，當問題與戰爭和王國有關時，則當行星位於其擢升之處或其本宮時，將更為強大和有效力、毅力。但在所有其他問題中，則反之。

Questions of the eighth House.

Concerning any man or woman, if you would know what kinde of death they shall die, see if Leo, Scorpio, or Mars, be in the eighth, the party shall die by a beast. And if Saturn be in the eighth, or with the Lord of the eighth in Scorpio, Cancer, or Pisces, he shall die in water. And if an evil Planet be in the eighth or wich the Lord of the eighth ; or if Mars or the Dragons Tail be there, he shall die by fire, iron, or of a fever. And if there be a good Planet in the eighth, or with the Lord of the eighth, he shall die a good death.

關於第8宮的問題

對於任何男人或女人，如果你想知道他們的死亡方式，就觀察下，如果獅子、天蠍、或火星位於8宮，則該當事人將死於獸；而如果土星在第8宮，或8宮主在天蠍、巨蟹、或雙魚，他將死在水中。如果一顆邪惡行星在8宮，或與8宮主同在，火星或龍尾（南交）在8宮，則他將死於火、鐵器、或高熱。若吉星位於8 宮或與8宮主同在，他將死得安詳。 Questions of the twelfth House.

For Imprisonment, consider the twelfth and the first ; and if the Lord of the twelfth be in the first, or with the Lord of the first, etc.

關於9宮的問題

關於長途旅行：

若8宮主與吉星同在，土星在9宮，擢升於10宮，則此人不在自己家，最好也別走，因為會遇到非常多的障礙，甚至戰爭。

若凶星在9宮，或與9宮主同在，或9宮主落陷，則此人在路途中會遭受重大傷害：若他走水路，則遇船難；若走陸路，將遭不幸、拐帶、或死亡。

若土星在9宮，或與9宮主同在，則旅途平安；

若吉星在9宮，或與9宮主同在，則一路順風；

若火星在9宮，你最好不要遠行：旅途中會遇見不共戴天的仇敵；

若9宮主與凶星或太陽同在，則意味著不利：但他不會被拐走。

若9宮主附近有吉星，他（遇難）能逃跑；若附近有凶星，他將被拐走；

若金星在9宮，或與9宮主同在，則旅途順暢，因為他將從女性處得到安撫。

若水星在9宮，且9宮主與吉星同在，則旅途很幸運；但若9宮主與凶星同在，則旅途不幸；

同樣對於月亮，則情況與水星一樣；

若龍尾在9宮（南交點），則他將遇賊，或一些邪惡之人；

若龍頭在9宮（北交點），則旅途順暢，因為他將與高尚人士同行。

同樣用這種方式你可以通過3宮來判斷短途旅行。

========================

若你想知道旅程何時結束，則觀察9宮主，及它的廟旺弱陷狀態。因為它所在之處，象徵著年、月、或日：因而你就能判斷關於他的逗留時間，以及什麼時候回來。

在此我關注下他的回程。若你想知道他會否半途終止旅行，則觀察月亮與1、3、9宮主是否有聯繫，並且該行星是否處於落陷位置；若如此，則他是半途而歸，未完成旅程。

若月亮處於旺勢，則旅程將很快成功。

若該處有2顆強有力的行星，其一在變動宮，則旅程會成功。若其一強有力，而另一顆落陷，則他將撤回旅程。

關於10宮的問題

如你想知道你是否能獲得榮譽，或能否得到國王/主教/領主的恩賜，那麼觀察下第1宮、9宮，及它們的宮主星：

1宮主星位於9宮，與9宮主或其他任何吉星同在；

9宮主在1宮，與1宮主或其他任何吉星如金星、木星或龍頭同在；

1或9宮主為這些吉星之一；

則此人將從國王、主教、領主那裡獲得榮譽與賞賜。

甚至如果你想知道此人是在他本國還是異國獲得這些，觀察下9宮主。若9宮主落基本宮（1、4、7、10），則是在他的本國；若位於固定宮（2、5、8、11），則表示在鄰近處；若在變動宮（3、6、9、12），則非常遙遠。

Questions of the eleventh House.

關於11宮的問題

If you would know when it is good to set forth a Ship to Sea, see the Ascendent ; which if it be stable, the Ship will be ponderous ; but if the Lord thereof be with a good Planet, she will sustain a great weight. And if the Ascendent be instable, and with a good Planet, the Ship will be swift, and carry a good burden. And meanly, if the Ascendent be mean. And after this maner may you judge concerning an Horse, if a Question be thereof.

如果你想知道何時駕船出海比較有利，則觀察上升點：

若上升點落於基本宮，則船體笨重；

若上升點守護星與吉星同在，則船體載重量極大；

若上升點落於變動宮，並與吉星同在，則船航行迅速，載重良好；

若上升點落於固定宮，則船況中等。

同理你可以用來推斷一匹馬的情況，如果問題提及的話。

And if any unstable Signe be ascending, and his Lord be in his exaltation, or otherwise fortunate, and the Moon behold him with a lowering Aspect, or Sextile ; let the Ship be applied to the water, because she will be very swift. And if any evil be imposed upon her, or that the belike to be drawn into it ; then see her out when a stable Signe is ascending , or when the Moon is in the third, fifth, eighth, ninth, or tenth house or mansion.

如果上升點位於變動星座，且上升點守護星擢升，或福點，月亮與1宮主形成微弱相位、六合相位，則可放心出航，因為航行將十分迅速；

若凶星施加於1宮主，或落入1宮，那就放棄吧；

當上升點位於基本星座，或月亮在3、5、8、9、10或mansion，那也放棄吧。

If yon would know what winde she shall have, behold the Ascendent and his Lord, whether he be with good or evil Planets, and in what place, and accordingly judge.

如果你想知道風的情況如何，則觀察上升點及其守護星，與吉星還是凶星相連，位於何處，並據此推斷。

And if yon would have a strong winde, spread forth your Sails at the rising of Aquary : if a small winde, spread your Canvas when Libra is ascending : If a moderate winde, then direct your Sayls under Gemini.

若上升點落在水瓶座，則將風帆向外，等待強風；

若上升點落在天秤座，則展開風帆，迎接微風；

若上升點落在雙子座，則風強度適中。

關於12宮的問題

關於監禁，考慮12宮及1宮；若12宮主位於1宮，或與1宮主同在，等等。關於3宮的問題

如果你欲了解某人有多少同胞手足，那麼觀察3宮主及其落點，如與眾多行星有相位連繫，則問卜者兄弟手足眾多。陽性行星意味著兄弟，陰性行星意味著姐妹；注意下，土星和火星，太陽、木星、以及龍頭（北交點）屬陽性；而月亮、金星及龍尾（南交點），屬陰性；但水星是混雜的，時陰時陽；當它與陽性行星有連繫，或在黃道帶陽性的1/4區域中時，屬陽；而當它與陰性行星有連繫，或為於黃道帶陰性的1/4區域中時，屬陰性。 (在中國需要考慮計劃生育的政策影響)

It is expedient therefore, to make four unequal lines, by the points casually fet down ; a nd to joyne together those points; and out of the points which are not joyned together, which do remain in the heads of the lines, (as it is done in Geomancie) extract one figure ; and the sign of the Zodiacke answereth to that figure, put for the Ascendent for the words fake. If Acquisitio arise from the heads of those four lines, let Aries be placed in the Ascendent; If Letitia, or (he lesser Fortune put Taurus in the Ascendent ; if Puer or Rubeus, place Gemini ; if Albus, Cancer ; if Via, Leo ; if Conjonctio or the Dragons Heads, Virgo ; if Puella, Libra ; if Amissio or Tristitia Scorpio ; if he Dragons Tail, Sagittary ; if Populus, Capricorn , if Fortuna major, Aquary ; if Carcer, then put Pisces for the Ascendent. Afterwards in the second House, let that sign be placed which immediately succeeds the other. In the third House the third Sign, and so place the rest in order until you come unco the end of the Signs ; and make one square figure divided into twelve equal parts,and therein place the Signs in order, as it is in Astrology , and as you may find them in this figure: neither are we here to regard the witnesses, or Judge, or any other thing which belongs to Geomancie ; but onely the sixteen Figures, that by them we may have the twelve Signs, to which they agree ; and observe the manner of the Figure as it is here placed.

[Note : Picture of an astrological square divided in twelve houses with planets and zodiac symbols]

Afterwards it is requisite to make four Lines by course for every Planet, by points casually pricked down; and likewise for the Dragons Head, as you have done for the Ascendent, and divide chofe points by twelve ; and that which remaineth above twelve, or the twelfth it felt, if a greater number doth not remain, retain, and the Planet for which the projection was made, place in that House of which the superabounding number shall be ; that is, if there remain twelve, let the Planet be placed in the twelfth House ; if ten, in the tenth House ; if one, in the first House ; if two, in the second House; and to of the rest. And you ought always to begin from the Sun, and afterwards from the Moon, then from Venus and Mercury, and from Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, and the Dragons Head and Dragons Tail ; but you must always take heed, that you do not, make a question in a rainy, cloudy, or a very windy season, or when thou art angry, or thy minde busied with many affairs; nor for tempters or deriders, neither that you may renew and reiterate the fame Question again under the fame figure or forme, for that is error.

Questions of the first House.

If you are desirous to know concerning the life of any man whether it shall be long or short, behold the Lord of the Ascendent, who if he be in strong Angles, it signifies long life ; in succedents, a middle age; and in cadent Houses, a short life; and if he be in strong Angles, he signifies greater years ; if in Succedents, meaner years ; if in Cadents, Iesser years. The Iesser years of Saturn are thirty, the meaner are forty four years, and the greater fifty eight. The lesser years of Jupiter are twelve, the meaner years forty, and the greater accordingly are forty seven. The lesser years of Mars are fifteen, his mean years forty, and the greater years forty seven. The lesser years of the Sun are nineteen, his mean years forty rive, and his greater years eighty two. The lesser years of Venus are eight, her mean years forty five, and her greater years eighty two. Mercury"s lesser years are twenty , his mean years forty nine, and his greater years eighty. The lesser years or the Moon are fifteen, her mean years thirty nine, and her greater years a hundred and seven. And also look if Mars or Saturn shall be in the first House, and the Lord of the eighth with them, and if the Sun shall be in the eight, the Querent shall not live: likewise if the Lord of the A Ascendent shall happen to be void of course, and Mars be in the eighth, the Querent shall not live ; but if the Sun and the Moon shall be in conjunction in the seventh Houfe, and Venus in the second , he shall live well.

The accidents of the nativity are likwise to be considered. If yon finde Saturn or Mercury in the first, he is foolish and talkative ; if it. be Mars and Mercury, he will not be servile, but a wrangler and scoffer; if the Sun and Mercury , he will be a speaker of truth ; and if the Sun be in Aries, he will apply himself to learn whatsoever he shall hear; if Venus be in (he seventh, he will be luxurious ; and if Saturn, Mercury and Venus be in their fall, he will be a Sodomite ; if the Sun and Venus be in the tench, and the Moon in the first, he will be very liberal; if Venus, Mercury and the Dragons Head be in the first , he will be covetous ; if the Moon and Mars be in the first, he will be subject to great bondage, and if Mars be Lord of the nativity, he will be rich, and an evil speaker, and litigious; and if the Sun be in the first , he will be envious, having a fair body, not very lean, not very fat ; and if Venus be in the first , be will be white and fair ; if Mercury be in (he first, he will not be stable, but always in motion; but if the Moon be found there, it denotes him to have a graceful face, brest and arms; if Saturn be there, the man will be black and filthy ; if Jupiter, he will have a round face, a fair forehead, A ruddy complexion mixt with a little white. If you would know his office or art: if the Moon be in the seventh with Saturn, or in the fourth or in the tenth, or in the first, it is not good for him to build any house in a City, nor 10 build a ship , neither is it good for him to be a tiller of land, or to dress vines, or plant trees ; but to be imploded about fome office belonging to the water, or concerning mariages, or to be a Post or a Messenger; neither let him apply himself much to his master, because he shall gain no repute from him: in the Moon be in the fifth or third, it will be good to him, in the second, eighth, sixth and twelfth, neither good nor evil.

Jupiter signifies Bishops, Prelates, Nobles, Potentates, Judges, Wife men, Merchants and furers.

The Sun sinifieth Emperors, Kings, Princes, Nobles, Lords and Judges.

Venus signifies Queens and Ladies, Mariages, Communications, Friendship, Apothecaries, Taylors, and such as make Ornaments for playes , sellers of Cloth, Jesters, Vintners, Players at dice, Whores and Robbers.

Mercury signifies Clerks, Philosophers, Astrologers, Geometricians, Arithmeticians, Latine writers, and Painters, and all subtil Artists, as well men as women, and their Arts.

Questions of the second House.

If you would he informed concerning the subtance of any man whether he shall be rich or not, behold the Lord of the second, which if he shall be with a good Planet, & a good Planet likewife in the fecond, he shall be rich ; but if the Lord of the second be joined with evil Planets, and an evil Planet shall be in the second, he shall be poor.

If you would know whether you shall have again a thing lent, or not, look if there be an evil Planet in the second, and disagreeing wich his Lord; then he that detaineth the thing lent, will not willingly render back the same : But if there be a good Planet in the second, and agreeing with his Lord, it shall easily be recovered ; and if the Lord of the second be exalted and be evil , or if an evil Planet be with him in the second , or if the Lord of the second be exalted, be which keepeth the thing deposited, will not willingly restore the fame, but he shall do it whether he will or not. And if an evil Planet be in the second, it"s to be recovered: But if Mercury be in the second so that he be his Lord, and bringeth contrariety, then it shall be recovered; and if a good Planet be in the second House, he signifies recovery, although he be the Lord thereof, Mark therefore the concord and discord of the Planets:

the Moon and Jupiter are friends , the Moon and Mars enemies ; Mercury and the Sun are friends. Mercury and Mars enemies ; Venus and Jupiter are friends, Jupiter and the Moon are enemies. The Planets are faid to be friends, when they agree in one nature and quality, as Mars and the Sun, because both (heir natures is hot and dry; Venus and the Moon do agree in cold and moisture : or when Planets do agree in substance and nature, as Jupiter and Venus are friends : or when the House of one is (he exaltation of another, or on the contrary.

Question of the third House.

If that you desire to know, how many brethren a man hath, see the Lord of the third, and it is to be held , that to so many Planets as he is joyned, to many brethren the Querent hath; and the Masculine Planets signifie brethren, and the female Planets sislers ; and note, That Saturn and Mars, the Sun, Jupiter, & the Dragons Head, ,are marsculine, but the Moon, Venus and the Dragons Tail are foeminine : but Mercury is promiscuous,

sometimes masculine, and sometimes foemmine ; he is masculine when he is joyned to masculine Planets, or when he is in a masculine quarter of the Zodiacke ; and he is foeminine , when he is joyned to foeminine Planets, or when he is in a foeminine quarter of the Zodiacke.

Questions of the fourth House.

If thou wouldst know whether it be good for thee to stay in any Land, City, Village, Territory, or House, or not, behold the Lord of the Ascendent of the fourth, and of the seventh ; and if the Lord of the fourth be in the seventh, and be good, and the Lords of the first and the tenth House be good, and with good Planets, then it is good for thee to continue in that place wherein thou are. And if the Lord of (he seventh be with a good Planet, and the Lord of the fourth with an evil Planet, then it is not good for thee to abide there, because if thou dost continue there, thou shalt suffer many losses, & have evil reports raised on thee in that Country.

But if thou wouldst know when any one that is absent will return., behold the Lord of the Ascendent; and if you finde him in any one of the four Angles , he will return in that year ; and if he be not in an Angle, then fee how far he is distant from the first Angle ; for so long he will stay, and so many years as there be Houses. If you would be informed of the dearth or plenty of things, behold the strong Houses , the Succedents and the Cadents; for the Strong Houses signifle dearth and scarcity, the Succedents a moderate season, neither too dear, nor too cheap, the Cadents signifie plenty and profitableness of things. Consider also the Planet, and their places, which if they be in strong Houses, the things which are signified by those Planets will be rare : and note, That Saturn doth signifie fields, vines, and instruments to work in fields, and leather, and of fruits, corn, acorns, oak-apples, and pomegranates. Jupiter hath oil, honey, filk-wormes, cloth, wine, and grass , and things that are odoriferous. Mars signifies wine, and flesh, and especially hogs , wars, and armour , and such things as belong thereunto, and red garments. The Sun hath signification of wheat, and wine, purple colours, and cloth, and all things that are assimilated unco gold, horses and birds, fuch as hawks and falcons, Venus doth signifie fatness and grapes, figs and dates, fith and pathtimes. Mercury hath barley, millet, grain, money, and quicksilver. The Moon signifies oats, milk,cheese, fire and falt, cows, rams, hens, and silver, and accordingly plenty and scarcity of them.

Questions of fifth House.

If you would know whether a woman be with Child, or whether she will have any children, or not, look if (he Lord of (he Ascendent be in the seventh. or the Lord of the fifth in the first, or the Lord of the first in the fifth, or if the Lord of the fifth be in the seventh , or if the Lord of the seventh be in the fifth, or the Moon with them ; or if good Planets be in the first, or the fifth, or with the Lord of the fifth, she is with child, or may have children; but if you finde none of them , but evil Planets in the fame places, she neither is with childe, neither will she have any children : and if there be both good and evil Planets in the said places , (hen happily the may have children, but they will not live ; but if Cancer , Scorpio, Pisces shall be in the first or fifth House , she may have children ; but if Leo and Virgo be there, she is not with child, neither shall she ever have any children; or If the Lord of the fifth shall be in them Houses.

and if an evil Planer, they will die; and if there be one good and another evil, one shall live, and another die ; and if a mean Signe shall be ascending, and Mars in that Signe, the mother shall die, and not the childe ; if Saturn, both the mother and child shall die , and if the Dragons Tail be there, its possible they will both die ; but the infant shall not escape , and if the Dragons Tail be so in the first, and the tenth House fallen: the mother shall die; likewise if Mars and the Moon, or Mars and Saturn be in the first, seventh or tenth, the mother shall die.

Whether the party with child shall miscarry, or nor. Consider if a moveable Signe be ascending, because if it be so, she will miscarry.

but if the Lord of the Ascendent be feminine, and in a feminine Signe, or in a feminine quarter of the Circle, it will be a woman-child ; and so you shall consider also of the Moon. Consider also if more of the Planets be in masculine Slgnes, then it will be a male-child; and if many Planets be in feminine Signes, then it is a female-childe.

And if you would know whether the child be legitimate or adulterate; fee if Saturn, Mars or the Dragons Tail be in the fifth, or with the Lord of the fifth ; because if it be so, it is adulterate , but if a good Planet shall be there, it is legitimate : and if the Lord of the first, be in the fifth, or with his Lord, it is legitimate ; and so likewise if the Lord of the fifth be found in the first, or with the Lord of the first.

If you desire to know whether rumours be true or false, see if you finde Saturn, Mars or the Dragons Tail, in the Ascendent ; because if they be so, then the rumours are false; but if you finde the Sun, Jupiter or the Dragons Head there, then they are true ; and if there be masculine Planets in masculine Signes, & feminine Planets in feminine Signes, then they are true ; and if both good and evil Planets be there, then they are partly true and partly false; and if there be a good Signe with the Planet, it testifies the truth ; and if the Planet fall with an evil Signe, then it is faife ; likewife if Mercury be in the first , the news is falfe : but if the Moon be in the first in a feminine Signe, or joyned wich the Lord of the Ascendent in a feminine Signe, then the rumours are true ; also if good Planets be in the first, fifth or ninth, and feminine Signes, they are true; but if otherwife, they are not.

If you would know if he bringeth that wich him for which he went, or nor, behold the Lord of the seventh ; which if he be good, he bringeth that which he sought for; and if he be in his fall, or an evil Planet be there, be bringeth nothing with him.

Questions of the sixth House.

Whether the sick shall recover his health, or die. If the Question be concerning his sickness, see if Saturn, or Mars, or the Dragons tail be in the first, and whether his Lord he joyued with an evil Planet, then he shall die soon. And if the Lord of the first be good, and evil Planets be in the first with his Lord, or likewise in the first or the eighth, for certain he will die : But if the Lord of the first be in the eighth, or with the Lord of the eighth ; or the Lord of the eighth in the first, or with the Lord of the first, there is doubt of his death. And if evil Planets do possess the Angles, evil and destruction is threatned to the sick. But if good Planets shall be in the firft, sixth and eighth, and likewise in the Angles, and the Lord of the first be from the eighth & his Lord, then the sick person shall live and recover his health.

If you desire to know whether he will be cured by medicines, give the first House co the Physitian, the tenth to the sick, the seventh to his diseases, and the fourth to the medicines. If evill Planets be in the first, the Physitian shall profit him nothing ; but they testifie that this will be worse for the diseased : but the Fortunes do signifie, that he shall be profitable to him. And if evil Planets do occupy the tenth House, the sick perfon is the cause ; for they testifie, that he himself is the cause of his own disease : but the Fortunes being there, signifie the contrary. But if evil Planets be in the tenth Houfe, they change the condition of the sick out of one disease into another ; but the Fortunes being there, do deliver him without the help of Physitians or medicines. Also evil Planets being in the fourth, do testifie, that the medicines do augment his grief; & the Fortunes being there, do mitigate and heal him.

If thou wouldst know if thou shalt go unto the person and heal him ; consider the place then : for if he shall be with Saturn, Mars, or the Dragons Tail, or with the Sun, go not unto him ; but if Jupiter, Venus or the Dragons Head be in the first or in the seventh, go, for it will be good ; and if there be the Moon with a good Planet, go, and give him physick ; but if she shall be with an evil Planet, and especially in the seventh Houfe, then thou shalt not go; because thou shalt profit him nothing : and if there be good Planets there, go and look diligently to him, where or in what members he suffers ; because Aries hath the head, Taurus the neck,Cancer the breast and lungs, Leo the heart and stomack, Virgo the belly and intestines, Libra the reins and loyns, Scorpio the secret members, Sagitary the thighs, Capricorn the knees, Aquary the legs, and Pisces the feet.

Questions of the seventh House.

For theft, look unto the Lord of the seventh : which if he be in the first, the theft shall be restored again ; but ifthe Lord of the Lord be in the seventh, it shall be a longtimesought after, and at length shall be found : but if the Moonbe in the fifth, or with his Lord, it shall be found; if the Moonbe in the fifth, or with the Lord of the first, or in thefirst, it may be found ; but if the Sun and the Moon be in thefifth, and if the Lord of the eighth be with the Lord of thefirst in the first, it shall be found ; but if the Lord of the second be in the eighth, it shall not be found. And if Saturn,or Mars, or the Dragons Tail be in the second, it shall not befound, nor be altogether lost. And if the Lord of the secondbe in the first, the thing that is lost: shall be found, but it shallnot be known from whence it came. If the Lord of thefirst be in the second, it may be found after much labour. Andif the Lord of the second be in his fall, it will never be found ;but if he be exalted, it shall be found very well : but the seventh House sheweth the thief.

But if you would know what it is that is stollen , beholdthe Lord of the second ; which if he be Saturn, it is lead, iron,a kettle, a triver, a garment, or some black thine, or leather.If he be Jupiter, then it is some white thing, as tin, silver, ormixt with white & yellow veins. The Sun signifies gold andprecious pearles. Mars signifies things belonging to the fire.Venus signifies things belonging to women, as gloves, rings,and fair ornaments. The Moon, beasts, fuch as horses, mules,etc. perfumes and wars. Mercury signifies money, books,writings, pictures, or garments of divers colours.

If you desire to know towards what Country the thief is fled, see in what Signe the Lord of the seventh is , for if he be in Aries, he is in ihe middle of the Eaft part. If in Taurus in the South towards the East. If in Gemini, in the West towards the South. If in Cancer, full Norch. If in Leo, in the Est towards the North. If in Virgo, in the South towards the West. If in Libra, full West. If in Scorpio, in the North neer the West. If in Sagittary, in the East nigh the North. If in Capricorn, full South, if in Aquary, in the West towards the North. And if in Pisces, in the North towards the West.

If you desire to know whether an intended marriage shall take effect, or not, look to the Ascendent and his Lord, and the Moon, for the Querent; and the seventh House, and his Lord, for the woman. And if the Lord of the Ascendent ot the Moon be joyned to the Lord of the seventh, or be in the seventh, the marriage will be effected ; or if the Lord of the seventh be in che first, or wich the Lord of the first, it will easily be brought to pass, and the woman is more desirous thereof, then the man.

If you would know when such society shall be, look what Planet is in the sevench ; for if lie be good,it shall come to pass that same year: or wedlock, if the Queston be thereof.

If you would know which of them shall gain most, see the first and his Lord , and the sevench and his Lord , and which of them standeth best ; or if they be evil, which of them falleth : and he that falleth shall lose, and he that is exalted shall gain. Or otherwife, and which is better, see the second and his Lord, and the eighth and his Lord ; and in which House is the better Planet, or his Lord that shall be found in the better place, or joyned with the better Planets he shall be the greater gainer. The second House and his Lord signifies the gain of the Querent : and the eighth House and his Lord signifies the gain of his fellow, or his part : and if they be both good, they shall both gain ; and if both evil, they shall both lose : and if one be good and the other evil, he whose significator is good, shall gain ; and he whose is evil, shall lose.

If you desire to know who shall overcome in any cause, matter or controversie, behold the Lords of the first and the seventh, which if they be in Angles, neither of them shall overcome ; and see which of them is joyned with an evil Planet, because he shall overcome ; and if the Planet be evil from them both, the victor shall kill the conquered ; if one of them be strong, and the other weak, and the Planet which is in the strong House do not fall, nor hath not an evil Planet with him ; and if he which is weak be not in his own House, nor in his exaltation , nor with a good Planet, he whose Plane; is in the ftrong House, shall overcome ; like" wife he whose significator is in a mean House, shall have great fear and doubt in his heart, becaufe sometimes he shall hope to conquer, and otherwhiles fear to be overcome. And note, that in a Question concerning war and kingdom,it is said that there is more power and efficacie, or fortitude in the exaltation of a Planet, then in his House ; but in all other Questions the contrary.

If you would be informed concerning any one being that is gone to any right? whether he shall return safe, see the Lord of the Ascendent; if he be good, that is , with good Planers, and a good Planet in the first, he will return safe; but if she Sun be with the Lord of the first,in any part of the Question, let him not go, because the Sun burneth him. And if the Lord of she seventh be with a, good Planet, and the Lord of the first with a good Planet likewife, he shall have some impediment in the way ; but he will not die. And if an evil Planet be with the Lord of the first, and a good Planet in the first, if he goeth he shall fuffer great damage, but not death ; nevertheless he may be grievoufly wounded. And if Saturn be in the first, or with the Lord of the first, let him not go ; because some impediment will happen unto him by some man that he will meet. And if there be an evil Planet with the Lord of the first, or Saturn be in the first, or with the Lord of the first, he will be wounded with wood or with a stone. If Mars and the Dragons Tail be in the first, or with the Lord of the first ; or if there be evil Planets in the first, or with the Lord of the first, he will suffer wounds or death. See likewife if there be an evil Planer in the eighth, because then death is to be feared. And if the Sun be with the Lord of the seventh, or in the eighth , it signifies that it is ill to go. The like judgement, is of the seventh and the tenth.

And if a Question be proposed concerning the event of wars, see the seventh and the first, and their Lords: for the first House and his Lord signifies the Querent ; and the seventh House and his Lord the adversary. So that if there be good Planets in the first, and evil in the seventh ; and if the Lord of the first and seventh be evil, the Querent shall overcome : but if there be an evil Planet with the Lord of the first, and an evil Planet in the first, and the Lord of the seventh good, or in the seventh, the Querent shall be overcome, or taken, or slain. And if the Lords of them both be in the first, and there be good Planets from the part of the first House, unto the end of the House which is the middle of the Question ; and if evil Planets do possess the other half of the Question, that is to say, from the seventh unto the end of the twelfth house, the Adversary shall overcome. But if both the Lords shall be in the Ascendent, and if they be good from the part of the first, and evil from the part of the seventh,they shall both suffer great loss, buc the Querent shall have the better in the end. Bur if the Lord of the Ascendent be in the seventh, or in his Question, it signifies fortitude of the adversary : and if the Lord of the seventh be in the first, or in his Question, it signifies fortitude of the actor. And if the Lord of the Ascendent be in the eighth, or with the Lord of the eighth ; or the Lord of the eighth in the first, or with the lord of the first,it signifies the death of the Querent. And if the Lord of the seventh be in the second, or with his Lord ; or the Lord of the second in the seventh, or with the Lord of the seventh, it signifies the death of the enemy.

If you would know whether War shall continue long or nor, if mean or meanly, if the Lords of the first and the seventh do agree, the parties shall be pacified after the War.

If thou wouldest depart from the place wherein thou are, and remove thy self to some other place ; and if thou wouldest know whether it be better for thee to stay or go ; or concerning two businesses, if thou desirest to know which of them is most expedient for thee to undertake, consider the Lords of the first and the second, for those places to which thou wouldest go, the place wherein chou are, and the gain which thou gettest there ; and the seventh and the eighth, and their Lords, for the place to which thou wouldest go, and the gain which thou mayst get there : and those places chuse, whose Lords are the better, or joyned to the better Planets. Or otherwise : behold the Lord of the Ascendent, and the Moon ; which if they be separated from evil Planets, and joyned to good and fortunate Planets, it is better for thee to go from the place where thou art, then to stay there, and to do what business foever thou hast in thy minde. And if the Lord of the Ascendent and the Moon be separated from the Fortunes, and joyned to evil Planets, then it is not good for thee to remove thy self, nor to do thy business. Or thus ; See the Moon ; and if the Planet from which she is separated be better then that to whom she is joyned, do not remove : and if the Planet which she is joyned to, be better then that from which she is separated, then go.

Questions of the eighth House.

or if Mars or the Dragons Tail be there, he shall die by fire, iron, or of a fever. And if there be a good Planet in the eighth, or with the Lord of the eighth, he shall die a good death.

Questions of the ninth House.

Concerning long Journeys, see if the Lord of the eighth have good Planets with him : and if Saturn be in the ninth, and exalted in the tenth, so that he be not in his own House, do not go: for thou wilt meet with many obstacles, and War. And if an evil Planet be in the ninth, or with the Lord of the ninth, and the Lord of the ninth in his fall, he shall suffer great damage in the way : for if he goeth by water, he shall suffer shipwrack ; and if by Land, he shall have misfortunes, be taken, or die. If Saturn be in the ninth, or wich his Lord, go securely. And if a good Planet be in the ninth, or with the Lord of the ninth, the way is good and secure. And if Mars be in the ninth, thou mayelt not go : for thou wilt meet with mortal enemies in the way. And if the Lord of the ninth be with an evil Planet, or the Sun, it signifies ill : but he shall not be taken. And if the Lord of the ninth have a good Planet neer him, he shall escape : but if evil, he shall be taken. If Venus be in the ninth, or wich the Lord of the ninth, the way will be good, because he shall have comfort from women. And if Mercury be in the ninth, and the Lord of the ninth with good Planets, the way will be very good : and if he be with evil Planets, it will be evil. And the same is said of the Moon, as of Mercury, If the Dragons Tail be in the ninth, he will meet with theeves, or some evil people. And if the Dragons Head be in the ninth, the way will be good, because he shall be accompanied with Noble-men. And in this maner may you judge in the third House concerning short journeys.

If you would know when the Journey shall be accomplished, see the Lord of the ninth, and according to his fortitude or debility judge , because according to the place wherein he is, is signified yeers, months, or days : and so you shall judge concerning his stay, about what time he will come,

And this I lay concerning his return. If you would know whether he shall return from his journey with an imperfect voyage or not, see if the Moon be joyned with the Lord of the first, the third, or the ninth, and the Planet thereof be in his fall ; because if it be so, he shall return with an imperfect voyage. And if the Moon be in her exaltation, the journey shall speedily be effected. And if there be two strong Planets, and one cadent, the journey shall be made ; and if one be strong, and another in this fall, he shall retire back.

Questions of the tenth House.

If thou wouldest know whether thou shalt have any honour or benefit from a King, Bishop, or Lord, or not, look unto the first House, and the ninth, and their Lords : and if the Lord of the first be in the ninth, or with the Lord of the ninth, or wich any other good Planet ; or if the Lord of the ninth be in the first, or with the Lord of the firft , or with any other good Planet, as Venus, Jupiter, or the Dragons Head ; or if any of them, be the Lord of the ninth, or of the first, he shall receive honour and benefits from them.

And if you would know whether he shall have it in his own Country, or in a foreign Country, look if the Lord of the ninth be in angles, then it shall be in his own Country :

and if in succedents, it shall be neer; but if in cadent Houses, very far off.

Questions of the eleventh House.

And if any unstable Signe be ascending, and his Lord be in his exaltation, or otherwise fortunate, and the Moon behold him with a lowring Aspect, or Sextile ; let the Ship be applied to the water, because she will be very swift. And if any evil be imposed upon her, or that the belike to be drawn into it ; then see her out when a stable Signe is ascending , or when the Moon is in the third, fifth, eighth, ninth, or tenth house or mansion.

If yon would know what winde she shall have, behold the Ascendent and his Lord, whether he be with good or evil Planets, and in what place, and accordingly judge.

And if yon would have a strong winde, spread forth your Sayls at the rising of Aquary : if a small winde, spread your Canvas when Libra is ascending : If a moderate winde, then direct your Sayls under Gemini.

Questions of the twelfth House.

For Imprisonment, consider the twelfth and the first ; and if the Lord of the twelfth be in the first, or with the Lord of the first, etc.
