古典占星辭典 | Face 外觀

作者 陳紅穎 Rose Chen

 

Face又稱為Decan,系五種尊貴(Dignity)之一,Decan的名稱源自拉丁文的decanus,意思是:Chief of a group of ten(十度主星)。它還有其他名稱:外貌(Figures)及形象(Images),此名稱源自希臘、印度,巴比倫占星家認為每個外觀會與人的外型或神祇外貌有關聯。外觀的主星則以主管牡羊座的火星開始,根據迦勒底秩序——行星距地球由遠至近的順序,將每個星座均分成三個10度的區間(Decanates)來排列。

至於外觀的由來,普遍認為源於埃及。早在公元前3000年,埃及已發展出36個10度星群,也就是後來所熟知的外觀。當時的外觀星群主要是作為歷法、時間記錄之用途。有證據顯示,外觀在之後的用途,是作為類似宮位的主題事項的征象,後來再整合相似的主題而成為後天十二宮的前身。

行星的外觀力量,基本上應用較少,五種必然的尊貴中,外觀其實算不上尊貴,它經常被模擬成公司里沒有特定專才的角色,雖然還算有一個位置可以安身立命,但很容易被替代,故該行星常有惶惶不安的心態。另一方面,如果星盤中有多顆行星的外觀主星為同一個,也暗示著當事人看起來有該顆行星的「形象」。

以下例句引自戴克博士編譯的《占星詩集》:

The infortunes among the stars are the harshest there is for harm: Mars if the traveler travels on land, and Saturn on the sea and water; and the harshest there is for harm, is if Jupiter and Venus are not looking at them. And the harshest there is for the Moon is if she is in the bound and face of the infortunes, and an infortune is looking at the Moon from the opposition or square, and Jupiter and Venus (or one of them) are not looking at the Moon.

最能造成傷害的兇星為:陸上旅行為火星,而水上或海上旅行則為土星;若木星和金星又未注視它們,情況將更為嚴重。對月亮而言最嚴重的情況為位於兇星的界或外觀,且受凶星以對分相或四分相注視,但木星和金星(或其中之一)未注視月亮之時。

if the Moon was in the square of the Sun, or in his trine, or the opposite of the Ascendant, then he will get control of the slave who fled in that hour or who stole or lost the goods in that hour. And if the Sun (in that hour which I mentioned) was the one in the trine of the Moon or her square, or in her opposition, and the Sun was in the Ascendant or in the stake of the Midheaven, or with the Lot of Fortune, or looking at the stakes and all of the places together, then it indicates that he will truly gain control over those goods. And if the Moon was in the last degrees of the sign, in the third image, then it indicates that what was lost or stolen in that hour will be transferred from place to place.

他們說若月亮與太陽形成四分相或三分相,或與上升形成對分相,則詢問人能抓住當時逃逸的奴仆或偷走、弄丟物品的人。若太陽(承上句)與月亮形成三分相、四分相或對分相,且太陽位於上升、中天或會合幸運點,或注視上升、中天、月亮與幸運點時,詢問者確定可取回失物的掌控權。若月亮位於星座最後幾個度數,在第三個形象上,放置遺失或被偷竊物品的地方將會不停地被轉換。
