古典占星推运法达星限法(firdaria)资料杂集.doc

法达星限法(Firdaria) 资料杂集屬於西方古典占星學裡面其中一種星體大運法 - Firdar 。 最初是使用在mundane astrology上, 後來被運用在本命盤的運勢解析. 它也是大運系統裡面最簡單使用起來最方便的一種。 起運方式首先是將命盤方為晝生盤與夜生盤, 並由出生日當天開始計算。 (星體大運的交接期都是生日當天) 晝生盤的起運由太陽開始， 夜生盤則由月亮。 星體的排列順序則跟其各自運行速度的快慢相關， (chaldean order) 由慢到快即 - (由左到右) 土星 - 木星 - 火星 - 太陽 - 金星 - 水星 - 月亮 龍頭龍尾順序排在最後, 如上圖所示. (不過夜生盤龍頭龍尾有另外一種放置方式 -介於火星與太陽之間, 但不常被使用, -月.土.木.火.龍頭.龍尾.日.金.水) 晝生盤的順序由太陽開始, 將太陽放到最左邊, 因此為 日.金.水.月.土.木.火.龍頭.龍尾 夜生盤則由月亮開始起運, 將月亮放到最左邊, 順序為 月.土.木.火.日.金.水.龍頭.龍尾 星體各自有其主宰年數 - 如上面兩個表格, 例如木星大運有12年, 太陽大運有10年, etc. 星體大運以75年為一個循環, 亦即, 每個人七十五歲之後, 夜生盤回歸到月亮大運, 晝生盤則回到太陽大運. 星體大運之下, 各有其七個星體副運, 但龍頭龍尾為例外. 副運主宰時間的計算方式為 : 將星體的主宰年數除以七, 等分給七顆星體. (龍頭龍尾不參與副運期的計算) 副運起運方式為 : 各星體大運下的第一個副運, 由該星體本身開始, 之後同樣以chaldean order排列. 例如 : 月亮大運的主宰年數為九年, 因此月亮大運下的每一個副運的主宰時間為九分七年(九除以七), 而其大運下的第一個副運同時也為是月亮 - 即, 月月大運, 主宰九分之七年 月亮大運下的第二個副運則是土星, 月土大運, 也是主宰九分之七年, 第三個副運則走到木星, 月木大運, 同樣是九分之七年, 直到第七個副運走完, 水星 - 月水大運 , 九年的月亮大運也剛好會結束, 而下一個交接的大運則是土星, 為期11年(每個副運則是11/7年), 由土土大運, 土木大運, 土火.到最後一個土月大運, 總共11年. 要額外說明一點的是, 主運與副運是一樣重要的, 例如, 火星大運裡的火金運, 並不會因為主運為火星副運為金星, 就特別強調火星的影響, 在火金運下, 金星跟火星是同等重要的. 但主要大運仍有其指標性意義, 如水火大運, 在水星運下的火星副運, 該運期間的相關事件與事務, 多少會帶有水星主運相關的主題性影響. 再者, 若主運星與副運星之間有相位關係時, 也會強化主運星與副運星在該大運期間的影響力. 大運的好壞，順暢與否取決於星體在命盤裡的狀態與狀況， 亦即星體在命盤裡所呈現出的質 - 主要由 1. 星體的天性與座落星座度數的交感， 2. 與其他星體的相位， 3. 以及其定位星這三者所共同構成。 而星體質的好壞與否, 是個體間走相同大運卻有高低差異的關鍵之一， 因為同樣是日生盤的人， 會同樣在十八歲生日的時候交水星大運， 也同樣會在三十一歲生日的時候交月亮大運， 然而每個人的金星運、水星運都會有個體差異產生, 畢竟每個人金星座落的星座度數、與其他星體的相位，定位星等等 多少都不盡相同。 當然，星體座落的宮位以及與其他星體的相位也會是造成差異的原因之一. 關於星體質的表現，有其他因素也需要被考慮的， 例如，逆行，燃燒，在陽光下，運行速度快慢， 被兇星傷到否，是否靠近MC，HAYZ，等等。 目前市面上雖然有占星軟件支援此種大運法的計算, 如 solar fire, 或者 kepler 等等, 但如果沒有這些軟件, 其實它的算法也不會很難, 或許可以背一下各星體主宰的年數, 交運的歲數, 大概幾歲的時候會走什麼樣的主運與副運, 應該很快就可以上手的_其用法分日生與夜生盤兩種不同順序，日生盤的順序為： 太陽（10） 金星（8） 水星（13） 太陰（9） 土星（11） 木星（12） 火星（7） 北交（3） 南交（2） 夜生盤順序為： 太陰（9） 土星（11） 木星（12） 火星（7） 北交（3） 南交（2） 太陽（10） 金星（8） 水星（13） Now that Birchfield has identified the original source, the controversy appears to be settled. The Moons North Node rules ages 70-73 and South Node, ages 73-75 for all of us, whether we have day or night births.也有人认为：对所有的人来说，不管日生或者夜生，月北交都掌管着70-73岁，月南交为73-75岁Every individuals life then, has a period that is in the larger context ruled by Mars. How that period plays out depended on the factors Abu Mashar lists in the previous quote and I can recap simply as follows:每个人的生命中，都有很大一部分由火星掌管，而那一段时间是如何演绎的，则可以根据以下ABU MASHAR大师列出的要点来分析：Look at the age ruler in the nativity;1. Its zodiacal condition2. The house it is posited in3. The house(s) it rules4. The testimonies of the other planets to it (aspects)首先看大限守护星在本命盘的情况：1. 所落入星座2. 所落入宫位3. 所主管的宫位（可以是多个宫位）4. 与其他行星所行程的相位Look at the Age Ruler in the SR of the year it assumes its lordship:1. Its zodiacal condition2. The house it is posited in3. The house(s) it rules4. The testimonies of the other planets to it (aspects)然后看年份主管行星的情况：1. 所落入星座2. 所落入宫位3. 所主管的宫位（可以是多个宫位）4. 与其他行星所行程的相位Compare the two testimonies:1. If both are good, it indicates great advantage and profit2. If both are bad, it indicates great disadvantage and upset3. If they do not agree in testimony, the ruler indicates only mediocre advantage and disadvantage; many ups and downs.然后比较两个象征星的状况：1. 如果两个象征性都良好，则喻示着优势和获利2. 如果两个象征星都不良，则喻示着不利和动荡3. 如果两个象征星表现情况不一直，则不好不坏，大部分情况会比较起伏不定he Art of Firdar and Profection ?The Broken Column?, 1944 “Surrealism is the magic surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe, where we were sure that we would find shirts” 1907-1954 Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo Caldern was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacn, third of the four daughters of Matilde and Guillermo Kahlo. Frida Kahlos Nativity - Alchabitius Houses 1913: 6 years old Firdar: Sun - Saturn Profected House: 7th Kahlo contracted poliomyelitis at six years of age. During the nine months that she was in convalescence her father cared for her and supported her making sure she received the best possible treatment. As a consequence of the poliomyelitis her leg and her foot were deformed forever. Kahlo was in the Firdar period ruled by the Sun and sub-period ruled by Saturn. The Sun is the Ruler and Almuten of the 1st house, (this house is associated with the life and the physical body of the native Anatole) and it makes an opposition to Mars, Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body Cace Tyche). Saturn, the great malefic, is the Ruler and Almuten of the 7th house, active by Profection, and Ruler of the sub-period of Firdar, it is posited in the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses Epicataphora). The interaction between the Rulers of the 1st, 6th and 7th houses and the planets Sun, Mars and Saturn indicates physical problems related with infectious diseases and of long-term consequences. 1925: 18 and 19 years old Firdar: Mercury - Mercury Profected Houses: 7th and 8th Kahlo was seriously wounded on September 17, 1925, in a collision between a streetcar and a bus in which she was travelling from school to her home in Coyoacn. The multiple traumatisms that Kahlo suffered were so serious that even her own doctors doubted that she would survive. Due to this accident she was one month hospitalized and more three months immobilized at home. Approximately one year later, due to the strong pains in the column and in the right foot, it was discovered that she had several displaced vertebrae. During the following nine months she had to use several plaster casts, staying immobilized. It was in this time that she began to paint and with the help of a mirror she began a self-portraits series, a constant in her work. Due to this accident Kahlos health became seriously compromised. Firdar period and sub-period is ruled by Mercury. Considering Mercury as the Ruler and Almuten of the 2nd house and 11th house in her nativity, it would not point out this tragic episode in Kahlos life. However, for being posited in the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities Cacos Daemon) it shows the events very clearly. The Profected House by the time of the accident is the 7th house. The Ruler of the 7th house is Saturn, a planet that indicates limitations, which is posited in the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses) and it also is co-Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body). When she was sick and using several plaster casts, the Profected House was the 8th house. The Ruler of the 8th house is Jupiter, conjunct to the cusp of the 12th house, mentioned above. Jupiter is a benefic planet by nature, but in the case of Kahlos nativity in spite of being in Exaltation and Term, it is Cadent, Combust, and afflicted by an opposition from Mars and it is the Ruler of a bad house Epicataphora. Saturn, the co-Almuten of the 6th house, is posited in the 8th house. Again we found indicators of the events above described in the relationships between the planets Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and the 6th, 12th and 8th houses. 1930: 22 years old Firdar: Mercury - Saturn Profected House: 11th In the beginning of the year, Kahlo interrupted her pregnancy due to the incorrect position of the fetus. Firdar period ruled by Mercury and sub-period ruled by Saturn, both planets and their positions are mentioned above. The Profected House is the 11th, whose Ruler and Almuten is Mercury, posited in the 12th house, also as mentioned above. 1932: 24 years old Firdar: Mercury - Jupiter Profected House: 1st On July 4, 1932 Kahlos second pregnancy was interrupted with an abortion in the Henry Ford Hospital. This event affected Kahlo immensely, which one can see in her works, especially in the Henry Ford Hospital or The Flying Bed. The Firdar period is ruled by Mercury and the sub-period by Jupiter. Mercury as indicated previously is posited in the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities). Jupiter, the Ruler of the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses), is posited in the cusp of the 12th house and it is also Ruler and Almuten of the 5th house (this house is associated with the pregnancy and with children Agathe Tyche). The opposition from Mars, posited in the 5th house, to Jupiter, is a strong indication of Kahlos difficulties in having children and confers to this issue a very violent character, pertaining to the nature of Mars. The Profected House is the 1st, the Sun is the Ruler and the Almuten of the 1st house, (this house is associated with life and with the physical body of the native) and it receives an opposition from Mars, Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body) and as mentioned above, posited in the 5th house. If the opposition from Mars to Jupiter already indicates Kahlos difficulties in having children and the violence that Mars confers to the circumstances, the opposition to the Ruler and Almuten of the 1st, increases the difficulty of Kahlo to accomplish her desire of having children, since the 1st house is by nature the house associated with life. ?Henry Ford Hospital? or ?The Flying Bed?, 1932 1938: 31 years old Firdar: Moon - Moon Profected House: 8th In October/November Kahlo made her first individual exhibition in the Julien Levy Gallery in New York, with which reached a great success and received several orders for her works. Firdar period and sub-period is ruled by the Moon. In Kahlos nativity the Moon is the ruler of the Midheaven by Exaltation and it is practically conjunct to it, in Exaltation and Triplicity. The Moon is disposed by Venus, in the cusp of the 11th house (this house is associated with hopes, groups, organizations and friends Agathos Daemon). This configuration points out the success of the exhibition and also Kahlos prestige among the social circle of the time, Venus in the 11th house dispositor of the Moon. In January of 1939, during the same Firdar period, Kahlo embarked to Paris to carry out an exhibition, which did not go so well as the previous, due to several factors. Kahlo was in the Profected 8th house (31 years old), ruled by Jupiter (delineated above), but with the malefic Saturn posited in the same house. Furthermore, Venus, the dispositor of the Moon, receives a square from Saturn, justifying in this manner the limitations and delays of the exhibition in Paris. 1950: 42-43 years old Firdar: Saturn - Jupiter and Saturn - Mars Profected Houses: 7th and 8th Kahlo spent nine months in the ABC Hospital, in Mexico City, where she was submitted to a total of 7 operations to the column. “I was sick during a year I still am in a wheel chair and I dont know when I will be able to walk again. I have a plaster cast that, instead of being horribly boring, it helps me to better support my column. I dont feel pain, only a great weariness , and, as it is natural, sometimes despair. An indescribable despair. However I want to live ”. When Kahlo was submitted to the operations, she was in the Firdar of Saturn - Jupiter which had begun in 30-01-1949, entering the Firdar of Saturn - Mars in 26-08-1950. Saturn is the Ruler and co-Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body), posited in the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses) and Jupiter, Ruler of the 8th house, posited in the cusp of the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities). Mars, Ruler of the Firdar sub-period (26-08-1950), Almuten of the 6th house, makes an opposition with the Sun, Ruler and Almuten of the 1st house (this house is associated with life and with the physical body of the native). The Profected Houses during this disturbed period of Kahlos life are the 7th and 8th houses. The 7th house is ruled by Saturn posited in the 8th house. The 8th house is ruled by Jupiter posited in the cusp of the 12th house, all these configurations were already delineated above. 1954: 47 years old Firdar: Saturn - Venus Profected House: 12th Seriously sick with pneumonia, Kahlo died during the night of 12 to 13 of July, 1954, seven days after her 47th birthday. Kahlo was in the Firdar period of Saturn and sub-period of Venus. Venus is the Almuten of the 8th house, house associated with death, and it makes a square to Saturn, Ruler and co-Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body), posited in the 8th house, which reiterates the meaning of the 8th house, death. In spite of a Mutual Reception by Triplicity that exists between Venus and Saturn, both are Peregrines, not mitigating this configuration. Besides the afflictions mentioned above and in spite of Venus being a benefic planet by nature, it is also afflicted for being Succedent, in Triplicity and in the Terms of the great malefic, Saturn. Jupiter, Ruler of the 8th house, the house associated with death, is conjunct to the Profected House, the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities). As it was said previously, Jupiter is a benefic planet by nature, but in the case of Kahlos nativity, in spite of finding it in Exaltation and Term, it is Cadent, Combust and afflicted by an opposition from Mars and it is the Ruler of a bad house Epicataphora. Notice that the Ruler of the Profected House, the Moon, is Void of Course. Last page of Kahlos diary, I hope the exit is joyful and hope never to return. In 1958 the Frida Kahlo Museum was opened, in the Blue House where Kahlo was born and died, the Museum was presented to the Mexican nation, in agreement with Diego Riveras whishes, who died in 1957. Conclusion The purpose of this study is not to be a deepened delineation but an approach of some important events in Frida Kahlos life, using Medieval predictive techniques like Firdar and Profection. It is necessary to have in consideration that these techniques are not enough for an exhaustive delineation of a nativity, however, these two techniques are tools of an immense predictive value. For a complete study it would be necessary to apply other types of techniques, such as transits, solar returns and primary directions, which would complement the predictive techniques of Firdar and Profection. As one could verify by the delineation above, the techniques used in this study provides a clear and objective analysis of some key-points in the artists life.

Greek Time-Lord (又稱 Zodiacal Aphesis) 2. Decennia (拙著實用占星學P.97-98)又印度占星學的 Dasa大運結構更與 Firdaria極相似，在有限資料下，難以說清孰先孰後，只能說是互相擷取而產生之技術。 中世紀占星學 (Medieval Astrology)大師 Robert ZollerAbu Mashar: Prince of Astrologyers曾廣泛收集有關 Abu Mashar生平資料，書中論及渠為波斯人，曾入各國如印度、波斯、阿拉伯、埃及等地王室服務，因此融合各種占星文化的精華確有可能。 其實Firdaria共有四種型式，Jim TesterA History of Western AstrologyP.166就曾論述其四種型式與 Robert Zoller的上文所列相同，我們將之列出 a. Mighty Fardar：360太陽年 (Solar Year) 每一fardar由一個星座和一顆行星主管，其序列由白羊和土星開始，接著根據黃道秩序的順序和行星的迦勒底秩序。有關迦勒底秩序的意義後面再述。 b. big Fardar：78年 將每一星座分派年數如下： 白羊12、金牛11、雙子10、巨蟹9、獅子8、處女7、天秤6、天蠍5、射手4、魔羯3、水瓶2、雙魚1，總78年 c. Middle Fardar：75年 每一Fardar由7顆行星和南北交點主管，按其旺宮順序，即太陽旺於白羊、月亮旺於金牛、北交點旺於雙子、木星旺於巨蟹、水星旺於處女、土星旺於天秤、南交點旺於射手、火星旺於摩羯、金星旺於雙魚. d. small Fardar：75年 白天盤 按 太陽10年、金星8年、水星13年、月亮9年、土星11年、木星12年、火星7年、北交點3年、南交點2年. 夜間盤 按 月亮9年、土星11年、木星12年、火星7年、太陽10年、金星8年、水星13年、北交點3年、南交點2年. 一般用於命主的運勢預測即上述的 d. small Fardar，我們一開始所討論的Abu Mashar Firdaria預測技巧，即以此為主，以下仍依此法論述。 由於 Firdaria應用簡單又有某些程度的準驗，在現代卻遲至1981年 Robert Zoller出版Tools &Technigue of The Medieval Astrology始復重見天日，當時占星界處於現代心理占星學的聲浪中，因此並未引起太多注意，後來1990年代吹起占星學復古運動，精熟於 Firdaria預測技巧的 Robert Zoller一再撰文稱讚此法是人生履歷表的體驗，此法逐漸獲得重視,更因他的diploma course詳細解說遂為運勢預測的重要技巧之一。 許多占星學有識之士一開始接觸，根本不會相信它的可靠性，但經研究實証後，嘖嘖稱奇者比比皆是，如當代占星大師 Robert Hand就坦承 Fird
