补充一个一个西方占星师的看法,供参考——

说的是怎样看人的最有可能的结婚机会次数,这里不是指所有得可能求婚次数,是指命运里安排的那种。作者是西方人,环境文化和我们都不一样,所以下面的准则用在国人身上不能生套的。

女的看太阳,男的看月亮。

女的为例:

本命太阳在一个星座里,按天宫的顺序移动太阳,太阳离开那个星座前和远地行星(火星及以后)有相位的次数,就是所有的机会。

有时候太阳和月亮的相位也会产生一次机会。水星和金星与太阳的相位不一定带来婚姻,但是可能会给婚姻带来机会。

和北交的相位不一定代表一次婚姻,但肯定代表会与一个人有很深的因果。

生子:

oriental quadrants是4,5,6,10,11,12宫,其他的是occidental quadrants。托勒密说,对于男人,月亮在本命中在oriental quadrants的倾向于早婚或者是年纪大了娶年轻女子。反之,月亮在occidental quadrants,这个男人可能结婚较晚,或是娶年龄比他大的女子。

and if she be found under the Sun's beams, and configurated with Saturn, she then entirely denies marriage.

假如月亮在单一形式的星座,或是只与一个行星有相位,则命主(男人)可能只结婚一次;如果月亮在bicorporeal sign(如双子,处女,射手,双鱼),或是与几个行星都有相位,则可能结婚多次。若与吉星相位良好,则妻子们会贤惠,反之则反。

For example, if Saturn receive the Moon's application, the wives whom he will provide will be troublesome and morose; but, if Jupiter receive it, they will be decorous and economical; if Mars, bold and refractory; if Venus, cheerful, handsome, and agreeable; and, if Mercury, sensible, prudent, and clever. Moreover, should Venus be found connected with Jupiter, Saturn, or Mercury, she will render wives provident, and attached to their husbands and children; but, if she be found connected with Mars, they will be irascible, unsteady, and indiscreet. Thus far in reference to the marriage of men.

如果是看女人的命盘,则要看太阳,参考上面,同样的论断手法。

Whenever both nativities, viz. that of the husband and that of the wife, may exhibit the luminaries configurated together in concord, that is to say, either in trine or in sextile to each other, the cohabitation will most usually be lasting; especially if the said concord exist by means of interchange; but its duration will be also much more securely established, provided the Moon in the husband's nativity should correspond or agree with the Sun in the wife's nativity. If, however, the relative positions of the

从太阳和月亮位置看夫妻二人婚姻牢固程度。如果相对位置(应该是指比较盘中的相位)好,可能牢固。如果丈夫的月亮和妻子的太阳和谐则更好。然而,如果两颗照明体(日月)在成对相,四分相,或是inconjunct(现代占星中inconjunct指150度,比如白羊和天秤是150度的关系,但是记得有资料上记载托勒密笔下的inconjunct不完全为这个意思,等翻过资料以后再详注这一点),那么会有损关系的长久。

And should the configuration of the luminaries, when made in con-cord, be aspected by the benefics, the cohabitation will continue in respectability, comfort, and advantage; but, on the other hand, it will abound in strife, contention, and misfortune, if the malefics be in aspect to the said configuration.

如果照明体没有和谐相位,可以看其他行星与日月的相位。如果吉星有和谐相位,还是可以正面帮助婚姻的持久稳固的。如果照明体无和谐相位,而且有凶星作用,则反之。假如水星被凶星伤,则可能预示公开场合的指责,如果金星被凶星伤,则可能有通奸诅咒等过错。

There are, however, other varieties in the married state, which are to be contemplated by means of Venus, Mars, and Saturn. And should these planets act in familiarity with the luminaries, the cohabitation will be appropriate and domestic, and authorised by law; because Venus holds a certain affinity both to Mars and Saturn: her affinity to Mars, for instance, consists in each having exaltation in a sign belonging to the other's triplicity, and it operates in the cases of youthful and vigorous persons: while her affinity to Saturn arises from their respective houses being in the signs, again also, belonging to each other's triplicity, and relates to persons of more advanced age.

所以,如果金星与火星互相作用,夫妇之间的感情会很强烈。如果水星也掺入其中,这种感情会公之于众(不了解原文为什么用notorious这个贬义词)。如果金星位于双鱼或摩羯(为什么是双鱼和摩羯?参考上一段金星火星之间关系的说明),婚姻可能会有血缘关系。如果有月亮作用,而且命主为男性,这个人可能和姐妹或近亲乱伦。如果命主为女性,根据同样的推断方法,则可能和兄弟或近亲乱伦,金星也可以和木星一起(不知道为什么最后加上木星这一句?是不是说即使有木星也并不妨碍不道德的事情发生?)。

Again, if Venus be with Saturn, the cohabitation will be established entirely in happiness and constancy; and if Mercury be present with them, it will be profitable; but, should Mars be present, it will be unsettled, calamitous, and afflicted by jealousy. And if Mars be configurated on equal terms with Venus, Saturn, and Mercury, he will effect marriage between persons of equal age; but, on the other hand, should he be more oriental, marriage will take place with a younger man or woman; and, if more occidental, with an older person. Should Venus and Saturn be found in signs common to each other, that is to say, in Capricorn and Libra, marriage will be contracted between persons kindred by blood: and, when the said position may happen in the ascendant, or in the mid-heaven, provided the Moon also should present herself there, men will become connected with their mothers, or maternal aunts, or with their mothers-in-law; and women with their own sons, or the sons of their brothers, or with their daughters' husbands. But if, instead of the Moon, the Sun should be in concurrence with the said position, and

假如金星和土星作用,夫妇之间相处会很开心,婚姻牢固。如果水星掺进来,可获利,但是,如果火星有作用,则可能会带来不安定,嫉妒和不幸。如果火星的作用不强于金土水,会影响到两个年龄相仿的人的婚姻。如果,火星在oriental,配偶可能是年轻一些的异性,如果是occidental,则是年纪大一些的异性。如果金星和土星在摩羯和天秤,婚姻可能牵涉到血缘亲戚。如果位置在上升或中天,如果月亮也在附近,男性命主则可能和母亲,阿姨或岳母有联系;女性命主则和儿子,外甥,或是女婿有联系。但是,如果太阳代替月亮出现在那些位置,而且相关行星在occidental,男性命主则会和女儿,儿媳有联系,女性命主则会和父亲,叔叔或女婿有联系(这种"联系"我想托勒密指的是不正当关系,但是个人觉得这种判
