The Lot of Fortune and Daimon. Their Influence on Prosperity and the Outcome of Actions.
基於上述理由,幸運點(Lot of Fortune)與精神點(Daimon)對於各種事業及其結果具有很大的影響。前者提供與身體以及雙手勞作有關之事的資訊;精神點及其主星則提供與精神、智性事務,以及給予與接受等活動有關的資訊。必須考察它們的宮主星所在的宮位與星座,並將彼此的性質加以對照,如此才能得知可以期待的活動類型、命運,以及活動本身的性質。
如果這些命盤由太陽與月亮而來,而且有吉星與這些位置或其宮主星形成合相,或向它們傾斜,則命盤將被視為榮耀、顯赫而有力量的。/78P/ 如果是由土星與火星而來,則命盤會較為平庸、缺乏名聲、遭受毀敗或逆境。
最理想的情況,是精神點的主星位於幸運點,或位於從幸運點起算的第十宮〈=中天〉。11 若是如此,命盤便會榮耀而顯赫。如果它位於自己適當的位置或其他角宮,則命盤會在具體條件所允許的範圍內,盡可能地顯赫而有力量。
如果它與自己適當的位置不形成相位、恰好位於角宮之前,或受到凶星形成相位,則象徵流亡以及在異鄉遭受困苦。如果它與吉星形成合相,或有吉星與之形成相位,命主將長期居住於異鄉,生計多變而起伏不定。如果 /82K/ 有凶星與之形成相位,命主將變得貧困、一無所有,並經歷審判與監禁。
同樣地,如果〈幸運點或精神點的主星〉與這個位置形成對沖,也象徵居住於異鄉並陷入困苦的人。這類人的財物往往不會由自己的家族繼承,而是落入陌生人之手。
For the reason mentioned above, the Lot of Fortune and Daimon have great influence on undertakings and their outcomes. The former gives information about matters concerning the body and concerning the work of hands. Daimon and its ruler give information about spiritual and intellectual matters and about the activities of giving and receiving. It will be necessary to examine the places and the signs in which their houserulers are located and to correlate their natures, in order to learn the type of activity and fortune and the quality of activity (to be expected).
Nativities will be considered glorious, distinguished, and vigorous /78P/ if they are from the sun and moon, and if benefics are in conjunction or incline to these places or houserulers. The nativities from Saturn and Mars are mediocre, inglorious, ruined, or adverse. It is best to find the ruler of Daimon at the Lot of Fortune or at its 10th Place (=Midheaven).11 If so, then the nativities are illustrious and distinguished. If it is in its proper place or at another angle, the nativities will be as distinguished and vigorous as they can be under the circumstances. If it is turned away from its proper place, just precedes an angle, or has malefics in aspect, it indicates exile and distress abroad. If it is in conjunction with a benefic or has benefics in aspect, the native will live abroad for a long time, having a varied and fluctuating livelihood. If /82K/ it has a malefic in aspect, the native will become needy, destitute, experiencing trials and imprisonment. Likewise if (the ruler of the Lot or of Daimon) is in opposition to this place, it indicates men who reside abroad and become distressed. Often the goods of such men are not inherited by their own families, but by strangers.
