Who looks outside dreams; who looks insidewakes.看向外部世界的人有着梦想;审视自我内在的人是清醒的。——卡尔·荣格
In the 1st house we are virtually unaware of ourselves in any objective sense. We just are. In the 2nd, we discover that we have our own shape and boundary which distinguishes us from everything else. In the 3rd, we turn our attention to what surrounds us, interacting with the other shapes and boundaries in our immediate environment to see what these are all about. By comparing what we are with what we come up against, we formulate even more opinions about ourselves. In the process, we lose the sense that we are everything, but gain in return the feeling that we are a someone – someone who inhabits a particular body, who thinks in a particular way, and who comes from a particular family background. As we approach the nadir of the chart – the IC and the 4th house – it’s time to pause and assimilate what we have learned. The task at hand is to gather our bits and pieces and integrate these around a central point, or ‘I’, which from now on will form the basis of our identity. Some people carry on gathering new bits of information all their lives and never pause to take root or consolidate at all (too much 3rd house and not enough 4th house). Others settle down and root too soon, before enough of life has been explored (too much 4th house and not enough 3rd).
在第一宫里,我们几乎察觉不到客观存在的自己。在第二宫,我们发现有自己的形状和边界,使我们区别于所有他物。在第三宫,我们把注意力转向我们周围的事物,与我们附近的环境中的其他形状和边界进行互动,看看这些是什么。通过比较我们遇到的情况,我们为自我构想出了更多的观点。在这个过程中,我们丧失了“我们就是一切”的这种觉察,但回报我们的是可以感受到自己是某个人了——一个拥有特定身体的人、有着独特的思考方式、来自特定的家庭背景。当我们接近星图的最低点——IC(天底)和第四宫——是时候暂停一下并且消化、吸收我们所学到的东西了。手头的任务是收集我们的碎片并将它们围绕一个中心点或“我”融合为一个整体,这个整体从现在开始将构成我们的身份基础。有些人一生都在收集新的信息,从不停下来生根或巩固(太强的第三宫和太弱的第四宫)。另一部分人在完善地探索生命之前就迅速安定下来,扎根得太快(太强的第四宫和太弱的第三宫)。
It is not uncommon for people preoccupied with career and outer achievements in the world to be so active and busy with appointments and meetings that they hardly spend any time at home. Similarly, we all have a tendency to become so ‘caught up’ and identified with activity and external happenings that we neglect and lose touch with the ‘I’ that is there underneath it all. We are so engaged in what we are seeing, what we are feeling, or what we are doing, that we forget about the ‘I’ that is doing the seeing, having the feelings or performing the actions. What we encounter when we withdraw our awareness from the transitory objects of experience and reconnect with the underlying ‘I’, which is the subject of all experience, is designated by the sign on the IC (cusp of the 4th house in Quadrant systems) and the planets in the 4th.
那些有强烈事业企图心和专注外在成就的人忙于约会和会议,以至于他们几乎不在家消磨时光,这种情况并不少见。同样地,我们都有一种“卷入”活动和外在事件的倾向,因此我们忽略和失去了与内在的“我”的联系。我们如此专注于所看到的、感觉到的或正在做的,以至于忘记了“我”正在看、正有感觉或正在行动。当我们从短暂的经验对象中抽离我们的意识,并与潜藏的\”我\”(所有经验的主体)重新连接时,我们遇到的是IC(天底)指向的星座(象限系统中第4宫的宫头)和第四宫内的行星所征象的内容。
The sense of a ‘me-in-here’ provided by the IC and 4th house lends an inner unity to all thoughts, feelings, perceptions and actions. In the same way that we are biologically self-maintaining and self-regulating, the IC and 4th house serve to maintain the individual characteristics of the self in a stable form.
IC(天底)和第四宫提供的\”我在这里\”的感觉,使所有的想法、感觉、感知和行动都具有内在的统一性。正如我们在生理上的自我维持和自我调节一样,IC和第四宫以稳定的形式保持了自我的个体特征。
The 4th house represents where we go when we settle back into ourselves – the inner center where our ‘I’ returns to rest before launching into activity again. It is the base of operations from which we meet life. For this reason, the 4th house has been traditionally associated with the home, the soul and the roots of the being. The American Indians believed that you opened your soul to someone when you invited that person into your home. As opposed to our public face, the 4th house describes what we are like deep down inside. The Jungian analyst James Hillman describes soul as ‘that unknown component which makes meaning possible.’ The soul deepens events into experiences and mediates between the doer and the deed. ‘Between us and events … there is a reflective moment – and soul making means differentiating this middle ground. The subtle way a person turns events into experiences is shown by the IC and 4th house.
第四宫代表了我们回归自我后的去处——是\”我\”在重新开始活动之前进行休息的内在中心。它是我们生活的基础。因此,第四宫在传统意义上与家、灵魂和存在的根源有关。美洲印第安人相信,当你邀请某个人进入你家时就向他敞开了你的灵魂。与我们的公众形象相反,第四宫描述了我们内心深处的样子。荣格学派的分析师詹姆斯·希尔曼将灵魂描述为\”未知是构成意义的一部分\”。灵魂将外在事件深化为经验,并且调节了实行者与其行为。\”在我们和事件之间…有一个沉思的时机-灵魂在这个中间地带让我们对意义有了不同的认知。IC 和第 四 宫呈现了个人将事件转化为经验的微妙方式。
