塔君註:傳統佔星裡關於星座的分類有很多種,都比較意思,而且很多都一語中的,比如善辯/沉默星座,人形/獸形星座,多產/不育星座等等;今天翻譯介紹的是關於好色星座的分類。關於好色或是性取向,在傳統佔星裡一直都不乏討論,特別是性取向在希臘希臘化佔星家的作品裡一直都有專門的討論,比如1900多年前左右Dorotheus就在其作品中討論過同性戀的問題,男同女同 攻、受,T、P等等。也常常會看到好多現代佔星師會把同性戀跟天王星\水瓶座因為「求異」而聯繫起來,連累了好多水瓶座人。
The Lustful Signs
Anthony
在現代佔星學中天蠍座通常因為特別好色口碑都很差。但公平地說,在古代傳統佔星學中,好色和欲望更多的來自於金星和火星之間的相互關係,比如金星落在火星守護的星座,天蠍座等,這種情況都可能增強色慾。然而,值得注意的是,早在希臘佔星學就有關於好色的特別設定星座,天蠍也沒列在其中(正名哈)。在這篇文章中,就簡要說明它們如何被用於界定「肆意」或「越軌」的性行為。
(所以不要再問我為什麼這些星座色色的了,哈哈,古人先見之明)
Scorpio often gets a bad rap in modern astrology for being particularly lustful. To be fair, connections between Venus and Mars in ancient astrology were associated with abundant lust, so from Venus in a sign of Mars, such as Scorpio, a case might be made for an augmented sex drive. However, it is worth noting that in Hellenistic astrology there was a particular set of signs identified as being more lustful than others, and Scorpio was not one of them. In this post, I』ll be briefly discussing which signs these were and how they were used to indicate 「wanton」 or 「deviant」 sexual behavior.
好色/肉慾星座/The Lustful Signs
白羊座、金牛座、和摩羯座一直都位列好色星座的榜單,再加上雙魚座(公元1世紀Dorotheus的榜單)。後面Rhetorius(6-7世紀)增加了獅子座,以及天秤座,這個天秤座主要是由於其強大與摩羯座的關係(應該是同為四正星座和金土的關係?所以天秤你就找摩羯算帳吧,是被它拖累的,哈哈)。這些同樣被後面的佔星家al-Qabisi所採用(al-Qabisi為波斯人,深受Dorotheus和Rhetorius影響)。
Aries, Taurus, and Capricorn appear consistently in the lists of such signs, and together with Pisces in the early list of Dorotheus (1st Century CE). Leo pops up in the list of Rhetorius (6th-7th Century CE), as well as Libra noted to a lesser extent, due to its strong relationship with Capricorn. This is summarized in the table below, which also includes the list of al-Qabisi (the Persians appear to have been heavily influenced by Dorotheus and Rhetorius)。
用法 /Usage
首先,應該注意的是,許多古代佔星家描述性和討論的性行為並沒有直接採用這組好色星座。即使採用也是用作它用。簡而言之就是你最好不要僅憑行星落座就去衡量一個人的好色放蕩程度。這也就是作為傳統意義上考察個體性向表達強烈程度的一種體現。
First, it should be noted that many ancient authors delineate sexuality and discuss wanton sexuality without any reference to this set of signs. Even in those authors that use these signs, they are discussed among many other indicators. In short, you cannot delineate the extent of a person’s lust or how wanton their sexual behavior is from placements in these signs alone. However, these would be the signs that are traditionally more intense or at variance from the norm in their sexual expression.
但是金星落於這些好色星座也是特別重要的。Dorotheus就特別注意金星的位置,特別是落在這些星座上,(因為這是一個性醜聞的象徵,特別是金星還被太陽灼傷或同時被兇星所主導,即較淫蕩的金星+隱蔽性+強烈的刑克影響=性醜聞)。
The placement of Venus in one of these signs is particularly important. Dorotheus looked specifically at the placement of Venus in one of these signs (as it would indicate scandal if she were also under the beams and with or dominated by malefics, i.e. a more lustful Venus + hidden + strongly influenced toward difficulties = sexual scandal).
Rhetorius列出了兩個不同的好色星座組別,但是卻沒有在其作品中說怎麼使用。而且他似乎更重視金星和命宮的落座(是否落於特定的度數和界裡面)。在116章「好色/淫蕩」中,Rhetorius使用了設定的好色星座,特別是命主星、福點定位星、精神點定位星這三個點的定位星如果落在好色星座,預示著命主比較好色淫蕩。從某種意義上說,這些點都較為私人化,所以我們可以感受到的Rhetorius的用意:當一個人的個人點的定位星受這些星座主導,那麼很有可能就象徵著淫蕩的行為傾向。(福點/精神點以及後面的金星點婚姻點都是希臘和希臘化時期佔星經常用到的希臘點或後面也稱作阿拉伯點)
Rhetorius gave two different lists of such signs but did not delineate their use at that place in his work. In preceding chapters pertaining to lechery he seemed most interested in placements of the Ascendant and Venus though (in certain degrees and decans respectively). In Chapter 116 on 「Lechery」, Rhetorius did use the lecherous signs explicitly though. He directed us to look at placement in such signs of the ruler of the Ascendant, ruler of the Lot of Fortune (Lot of the Moon), and ruler of the Lot of Daemon/Spirit (Lot of the Sun) – apparently all three in lecherous signs indicates a lecherous person. In a sense this pertains to the rulers of the most personal point (the Ascendant) and the most personal Lots (those of the Lights), so we get the sense that Rhetorius finds it important when the person (personal points) is directed (ruler) toward signs indicative of lustful behavior.
Umar al-Tabari(公元8世紀)也在其作品中使用了好色星座,在其本命佔星討論性的時候。他似乎也認為金星是很重要,個人的象徵星也同樣重要,而且包括個人化的希臘點(福點/精神點等)在關係中也都至關重要。舉個慄子,如果金星、太陽、婚姻點(男=ASC+金星-土星,女=ASC+土星-金星),以及其它個人象徵星,和七宮主等很多落於好色星座,那麼這個人會對於兩性尺度會比較大,重口味令人討厭。
Umar al-Tabari (8th Century CE) also used the signs abounding in lust in his discussion of sexuality (Three Books on Nativities, II, Ch. 5). He seems to think Venus is important, personal significators are important, and points pertaining to relationships are all important in this. For instance, he directed that if signs abounding in lust hold many of the following: Venus, the Sun, Lot of Marriage (Saturn to Venus from Asc for men, Venus to Saturn from Asc for women), many personal significators, and Lord of the 7th, then the person will be very sexually active and along particularly unsavory dimensions.
