古典占星

The first column of the table indicates the signs of the zodiac.

第一列是黄道十二宫的各个星座

The second column shows the traditional rulers of the signs. It is headed 'house' because ancient terminology referred to the signs that the planets ruled as being their natural 'houses' or 'homes'. 第二列是十二星座传统的守护星。行星落入这些星座就好像回到家一样（也就是所说的庙） Apart from the Sun and Moon, each of the planets rules one sign by diurnal expression_r (D) and one by nocturnal expression_r (N). Hence Mars rules both Aries and Scorpio, but in Aries, its diurnal rulership, its energies are expressed more openly and directly; in Scorpio (its nocturnal rulership), its energies are more introverted and unconsciously driven. Diurnal simply means 'of the nature of the day'; nocturnal, 'of the nature of the night'. The terms 'diurnal and nocturnal' are synonymous with 'masculine and feminine', 'yin and yang', 'extrovert and introvert'. Diurnal energy usually gives a more spontaneous reaction where inner drives are consciously expressed and clearly apparent. Nocturnal energy is usually more reflective and operates at a deeper level of consciousness.

除了月亮和太阳以外，每个星座的守护星体都分为两种。一种是日生盘的守护星，一种是夜生盘的。如图所示的第二列，在除日月以外的所有星体后面都有D或N这两个字母。D是日生盘，N是夜生盘。

所以火星同时掌管了白羊座和天蝎座，但是当火星落入白羊座时，其所释放出来的力量更直接，落在天蝎座的时候，火星的力量会转变的比较含蓄，受到潜意识的驱动。

这种情况就好像是男性和女性的关系，阴和阳的对比一样。

日生盘的星体的力量反应的较为直接，是受到有意识的行为所驱动，往往是清楚明了的表现

出来。

夜间盘的力量比较迂回，也就是不是直接所显露出来的，代表了更深层的意识行为，或称为潜意识。

In considering the traditional scheme, note from the illustration at the top of the page how the planetary rulerships fan out in a symmetrical pattern from the union of the Sun and Moon.

The third column shows where each of the planets are exalted. The specific degree of exaltation is included - these degrees are particularly notable although the dignity of exaltation is generally applied to the whole of the sign. Hence Mars is dignified at any position in Capricorn, the sign of its exaltation, but the dignity will be especially apparent in the 28th degree. The traditional exaltations of the nodes are included although I have never really seen these put to good use in judgements.

第三列表格表示这些星体在第一列相对应的星座擢升了。比如第一行第三列的示例是太阳，那么太阳在白羊座就是擢升，而太阳实际上是狮子座的ruler。在星体的后面还有一个数字。这个数字的作用是说明，当太阳位于白羊19°的时候是非常值得注意的，往往比基本的擢升更能发挥星体的力量。因此，火星在摩羯座就是擢升，特别是在摩羯28°的时候，力量更强大（暂时可以这么理解吧）在古典占星学的擢升表中，也有南北交点，不过其作用并不是很大。

The fourth column shows the planetary rulership of the triplicities. You will see that the pattern repeats for the fire triplicity - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; the earth triplicity - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn; the air triplicity - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius; and the water triplicity - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

第四列的表格代表了三分星座的主宰星。你可以看到，三分星体重复的顺序是从火像到土像，再到风向，最后是水像的星座。

In triplicity rulerships the planetary rulers change according to whether the chart is a daytime chart, (which features the Sun above the horizon), or a night-time chart, (where the sun has set). The 'D' and 'N' at the top of the column indicate the rulers by day and night. So if the chart is cast for noon then Saturn acts as the triplicity ruler of all the air signs; at midnight Mercury would be used instead.

三分性质的主宰星根据日生盘和夜生盘对应不同的星体。其中D代表的是日生盘，N代表的是夜生盘。因此，假如某个人的出生时间实在中午，那么土星就是风向星座的三分主宰星体。如果实在午夜出生的盘，水星就替代土星成为三分主宰星体。

The fifth column shows the degrees where rulership by term transfers. That is, Jupiter rules the first six degree of Aries, from 0°00' - 5°59'; Venus rules from 6°00' - 13°59 Aries.

第五列的说明的是关于度数的每个区间的守护星体。举例子说明的话，就是木星守护者白羊的前六度。金星守护6°~14°的位置

Notice that the Sun and Moon do not rule any of the terms. Also that the malefic planets, Mars and Saturn rule the final terms of every sign (this principle is fixed from 27 degrees to the end of the sign). The malefics fo not rule any of the middle terms (from 6 degrees - 19 degrees), which are all held by Mercury, Venus or Jupiter.

不过值得注意的是，日月并没有度数的主宰星体，是独立的。大部分的火星和土星主宰的是度数区间的尾部，是从大约25°左右开始。从6°~19°主要的主宰星体是水星、金星、木星。

face ruler 作用不是很大不做特别的翻译和解释了

最后两列分别是detriment 和fall

相对于中文翻译应该就是弱势和落陷了

fall所发挥的力量最微弱
