【占星四书】《第三书_8》畸形怪胎
8. Of Monsters.
The subject of monsters is not foreign to the present inquiry; for,
in the first place, in such cases the luminaries are ,found to be
as far as possible removed from the horoscope or in no way related
to it, and the angles are separated by the maleficent planets.
Whenever, then, such a disposition is observed, for it frequently
occurs in humble and unlucky nativities, even though they are not
the genitures of monsters, One should at once look for the last
preceding new or full moon, and the lord of this and of the
luminaries of the birth. For if the places of the birth, of the
moon, and of the horoscope, all or the majority of them, happen to
be unrelated to the place of the preceding syzygy, it must be
supposed that the child will be nondescript. Now if, under such
conditions, the luminaries are found in four-footed or
animal-shaped signs, and the two måleficent planets are centred,
the child will not even belong to the human race, but if no
beneficent planet witnesses to the luminaries, but the maleficent
planets do so, it will be completely savage, an animal with wild
and harmful nature; but if Jupiter or Venus witness, it will be one
of the kinds regarded as sacred, as for example dogs, cats, and the
like; if Mercury witnesses, one of those that are of use to man,
such as birds, swine, oxen, goats, and the like. If the luminaries
are found in signs of human form, but the other planets are
disposed in the same way, what is born will be, indeed, of the
human race or to be classed with humans, but monsters and
nondescript in qualitative character, and their qualities in this
case too are to be observed from the form of the signs in which the
maleficent planets which separate the luminaries or the angles
happen to be. Now if even in this case not one of the beneficent
planets bears witness to any of the places mentioned, the offspring
are entirely irrational and in the true sense of the word
nondescript; but if Jupiter or Venus bears witness, the type of
monster will be honoured and seemly, such as is usually the case
with hermaphrodites or the so-called harpocratiacs, and the like.
If Mercury should bear witness, along with the foregoing, this
disposition produces prophets who also make money thereby; but when
alone, Mercury makes them toothless and deaf and dumb, though
otherwise clever and cunning.
