Mankind is poised midway between the godsand the beasts /人类处于众神与野兽之间——Plotinus
The 8th house invariably implies somedegree of pain, crises and suffering. Hopefully, in surviving these difficulttimes, we emerge renewed, cleansed, and wiser about ourselves and life ingeneral. Having descended into the depths and somehow managed to find our wayup again, an overview is gained which allows us to conceive of life as ajourney and process of unfoldment. The fiery 9th house, naturally associatedwith Jupiter and Sagittarius, follows upon the troubled waters of the 8th andoffers a broader perspective on all that has occurred up to now. Enoughexperience has been gathered to attempt formulating some conclusions about themeaning and purpose of our sojourn.
第8宫意味着某种程度的痛苦、危机和折磨。希望在度过这些困难时期时,我们会重获新生且净化,并对自己和生活有更明智的认知。当陷入深渊并用某种方法再次找到出路,我们认识到可以将生命构想成一个旅程及其发展过程。充满激情的第九宫与木星和射手座有关,它紧随在第八宫的混乱浑水之后,又为迄今为止发生的一切提供了更广阔的视角。我们已经获得了足够的经验,可以尝试总结我们旅行的意义和目的了。
The 9th is the area of the chart mostdirectly concerned with philosophy and religion – questions about the ‘whys andwherefores’ of existence. It is here that we seek the Truth, endeavoring tofathom the underlying patterns and basic laws which govern life. In one sense,the suffering incurred in the 8th compels us in this direction because pain ismore easily borne if we can envision some purpose for having to endure it. Inaddition, if suffering is in any way linked with a failure to live inaccordance to the laws or truths of existence, then discovering and adhering tothese guidelines might decrease the amount of pain we need incur.
第九宫是星图中与哲学和宗教最直接有关的领域——关于生活的\”原因和理由\”的问题。我们在这里寻求真理,努力探索支配生命的基本模式和基本规律。从某种意义上说,在第八宫里遭受的痛苦迫使我们朝这个方向努力,因为如果我们能够找寻到受苦的意义,就更容易承受痛苦。此外,依据生存的规律和真理,如果痛苦是与失败的生活相关的话,那么发现并且遵从这些准则可能会减少我们要承受的痛苦。
Human beings seem to require meaning. Weapparently need absolutes, firm ideals towards which we can aspire, andprecepts which serve to steer our lives. Without meaning, there is often thefeeling that we have nothing to live for, nothing to hope for, no reason tostruggle for anything, and no direction in life. Many psychologists believethat much of modern-day neurosis is related to a lack of meaning or purpose inlife. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we are comforted by the beliefthat there is something greater ‘out there’: that a coherent pattern exists andthat each of us has some particular role to play in that design. Whether it isultimately up to us to create our own meaning in life or whether it is our taskto discover God’s plan and intention, the search for guidelines, goals and asense of purpose forms the crux of the 9th house.
人类似乎需要意义。我们显然需要绝对真理,可以追求的坚定理想,以及指导我们生活的准侧。缺少了意义,我们就常有一种感觉,不知道活着的理由,没有希望,没有理由为任何事而奋斗,也没有人生的方向。许多心理学家认为,现在的神经官能症与生活中找寻不到意义或目的有关。不管是真是假,我们感到欣慰的是有一个更伟大的\”存在\”:一个合逻辑的模式,并且我们每个人都可以发挥不同的作用。无论最终是由我们自己来创造人生的意义,还是我们去发现上帝的计划和意图,寻找指引、目标和目的意识组成了第九宫的关键。
The 9th house signifies what is known as‘the higher mind’ – that part of the mind linked to the faculty of abstractionand the intuitive process – as compared to the concrete mind shown by the 3rdhouse. Mercury, the natural ruler of the 3rd and 6th houses, is afact-gatherer; while Jupiter, the natural ruler of the 9th, denotes thesymbol-making capacity of the psyche, the tendency to imbue a particular eventor happening with meaning or significance. Facts are collected in the 3rd, butin the 9th conclusions are drawn from them: isolated facts are organized withinthe framework of a larger scheme of things or seen as the inevitable offspringof higher organizing principles.
与第三宫代表的具体思维相比,第九宫象征着所谓的“高等心智”——与抽象和直觉相关的心灵部分。水星,作为第三宫与第六宫的先天主星,它搜集事实;而木星,作为第九宫的先天主星象征了精神能量,它倾向赋予特定事件与状况背后的意义和重要性。第三宫搜集了事实,但在第九宫中得出结论:孤立的事实存在于更大的事物框架内,或者被视为更高理念的必然产物。
While the 3rd and 6th houses are analogousto the analytical and compartmentalizing left brain, the processes associatedwith the 9th house (and the 12th) correlate to the activity of the right brain.The right brain can identify a shape which is suggested by only a few lines.The points are mentally woven together into a pattern. Synthetic and holistic,the right brain thinks in images, sees wholes, and detects patterns. As MarilynFerguson writes, ‘the left [brain] takes snapshots, the right watches movies.
第三宫和第六宫类似于左脑的分析和分类功能,但与第九宫(和第十二宫)相关的过程与右脑的活动有着联系。右脑仅根据几行字就可以识别一个形状。这些点在脑海中编织成一个图案。右脑是综合性与整体性的形象思维,可以看到全部并检测出图案。正如Marilyn Ferguson所写的那样,“左(脑)拍快照,右(脑)看电影”。有需要联系v;zhanxzhanx有需要联系v;zhanxzhanx
