Past Lives and Karma 業力in Your Chart命圖

8th and 12th houses

First when doing a  astrology 占星 chart I always look at retrograde planets .& most especially carefully I look at the moon and south node南交點 in a birth chart 命圖to begin to configure and put together a picture of what this soul has been doing on its journey through incarnation 前世after incarnation and those retrogrades 退行星will tell you a great deal.

在製作占星圖時，我經常會留意退行星，特別是出生圖中的月亮與南交點。從這兩個行星的組合，可以看出靈魂於前世乃至於今世的歷程，退行星同樣也會透露出很多訊息。

BUT interceptions are the most difficult for others to understand and to teach; because you have to look at the whole chart to see which end of the intercepted or BLOCKED houses or signs or planets are not working at their maximum potential.

但是「劫奪」，是占星學中最讓人難以理解與說明的部分，因為你必須要觀察整張星圖裡，找出那些沒有完全發揮其所應有的特質與潛能，劫奪或是被劫奪的宮位、角度與行星。

Interceptions happen when you put in month, day, year, time, city, state and country of birth ih your astrology program to make a birth chart and instead of the 12 houses  each having a doorway to an house or area of life with a different one of the 12 signs on that doorway...you will have repetition of 2 signs on 2 different houses and have one house with one sign on the doorway going in, one sign locked in the middle (Interception) and another sign on the door going out of that house and into another house.

當你在星盤軟體裡輸入出生年月日的時間、出生地，製作出一張出生圖，不像一般星圖裡12宮位都會有各自不同的doorway(通道)時......此時通常有兩個星座或兩個宮位，共享著同一個對外/內的doorway(通道)，同時會有另一個宮位/星座會被封閉在其中(截奪)

This happens AT EACH END OF THE CHARTS:  so 2 houses with this happening opposite each other Always happens with an interception:

劫奪會出現在宮位的末尾：所以，對宮的位置，也經常會發生對應被劫奪的現象

Looking at whether planets are retrograde in one of the intercepted signs is a good rule of thumb to see which sign may be having a problem. Then if that is not happening, I look at the RULER of the signs which are intercepted.  THE Ruler of a sign is always a planet.

觀察有沒有行星退行到了劫奪宮裡，能容易看出一個問題的徵兆。假如沒有行星進入劫奪宮，就觀察被劫奪宮位的宮主星。

For example Aries is ruled by Mars, and its opposite sign which would be the other end of the interception if Aries was intercepted would be Libra which is ruled by the planet Venus. 

舉例來說，白羊的主星是火星，而白羊座假如被劫奪掉，那麼白羊對宮，由金星主司的天秤座，就會是另一個被劫奪的星座

If none of the interceptions have retrograde planets, and even if they do, I look at Mars and Venus to see what those planets are doing aspect wise with the rest of the planets.

不論劫奪宮裡是否有任何退行的星，在這個例子，我通常會觀察其他行星與火星跟金星，和其他星形成的角度

SO looking at that chart you would see Pisces on the doorway of a house, then Aries in the middle of the house and the door going out of that house into the next  (the cusp of the next house)  would be Taurus. So, that area of a person’s life (aka House) would be done in 3 different ways rather than the normal 2 signs which occur about 99% of the time for most clients.

當你看命圖的時候，雙魚就變成該宮的通道，白羊宮則被困在裡面，然後另一條通道，就落到了白羊座的下一個星座金牛座。所以，這部分的生命領域，基本上必然會受到這三個星座的影響，而不是一般狀況下只有兩個星座的交互構成。

Aries Libra interceptions are people often who give and give and give and give and give and lose track of themselves. OR do the opposite, you have to look carefully at planets and NOT JUMP to conclusions with any interception.

白羊─天秤的劫奪宮，(畫線處有些奇怪?)。或是反過來說，你必須要相當謹慎的觀察行星的關係，不可逕自跳過這些步驟妄下斷言。

In some house systems the interceptions will disappear. Personally I like Porphory which to me is SOUL CENTERED Astrology. IN all house systems your RISING sign at 9 o'clock and your Angles will be the same degree and sign. 

在有些分宮制裡，會欠缺了”劫奪宮”這個概念。就我個人來看，Porphory的分宮制是靈魂占星的中心概念。所有的分宮制

宮位對應的星座角度，會正好與你的上升星座座落在星座中的角度一致。Your rising sign is the doorway of the 1st  house  which  shows SELF DISCOVERY in a chart..  so houses 1, 2 and 3 are about Self discovery. Whereas 6pm is the doorway to the 4th house and begins an area of the chart with the next 3 houses which is about how you do security, family, children and interacting with family. 4, 5 and 6th houses.

你的上升星座就是第一宮的通道，也就是自我發現的部分。第一、二與三宮是自我發展的部分，相對的，位於正下方的四宮通道開始，就是與家庭、親子以及家庭互動有關的4.5.6宮

At 3pm is the doorway to the 7th house of partnerships and begins the houses which deal with your interpersonal interaction with people you partner with  for houses, 7, 8 and 9 and at High noon is the doorway to the 10th house of how you are seen and career. For houses 10, 11 and 12.

天底(正東處)則是7宮的通道，7宮代表著比較親密的合作/合夥/親密關係，是你在這種關係中如何與互動的部分，這個領域還包含了7.8與9宮。正對著正午時分的天頂通道──這裡正對著10宮宮頭，從10.11到12宮，則是你的事業與人生目標相關

House systems all have these angles the same but the doorways to the houses between can have different degrees by house system and that can move a planet into another house.

雖然每個宮位都有著同樣的角度，但是宮位與通道間的角度，會因為分宮制而或有不同，導致行星座落的宮位也有所差異。

The houses which seem most KARMICALLY infused are the 8th and 12th houses. Tracy Marks has a book long out of print but the best interaction with the Mysteries of the 12th house. It is called Illuminating the Mysteries of the 12th house and you can purchase it online at Amazon.com.

八宮與十二宮是帶有濃厚的業力色彩影響的宮位。Tracy Marks出版了一本很久前就絕版，但是絕佳的關於神秘的12宮著作──叫做Illuminating the Mysteries of the 12th house，你可以在Amazon買到這本書。

The Twelfth House is often referred to as the subconscious and I think of it as the CLOSET, where our dreams, and our fears reside and when we access this house we can bring forth our demons and our angels, and all between.  The mystery of the 12th house is that it is where we must go to ultimately figure out our purpose on this planet.  Thus this house is the place where often we dread entering.  

十二宮通常代表下意識的宮位，我認為12宮就像個衣櫃，存放著你的夢想(幻)與恐懼，我們在此產生內心裡的天使與惡魔。十二宮的神祕之處，在於我們最終還是要找到我們人生於世的目的，因此，這個宮位也經常是我們所畏懼的禁區。

Psychics and mystics know the magic of this house and enter often in meditation, prayer and Personally I always call forth my angels and guides as I enter this magical realm which contains all my past lives and all my future lives as well as my things which I HIDE FROM ME:

神秘學家與靈魂學家，

Once a month for 2 and 1/2 days the moon in the sky by transit (TRANSITS are a visit by a planet to you) the 12th house. This for some is the most powerful time of the month to enter deeply into inner connection and dialogue with our Wise and ancient soul. 

The 12th house is the house of KARMA and to me Karma is nothing but an action which encourages you to do the action over until you GET IT RIGHT: Doesn't that feel much better than what you maybe have read about Karma being a curse? We only curse ourselves by repetition of patterns which are ultimately harmful, thus this is Karma.

The Eighth is death, sex, and regeneration. Astrologers laugh and call this the sex, death, and taxes house. I think of this house as if all the houses  (12 of them) were rooms and your astrology chart were the house if that were so, the 8th house would be the bathroom. 

 八宮是生死、性與再生/重生之地。占星學家笑稱這是性與死與稅金的宮。我認為如果把星盤裡的12宮比擬做一棟房子裡的12個房間，八宮應該就算是浴室的位置。

How many people stand beside you in the bathroom as you brush your teeth? How many people would you allow to help you in this room in your house. Thus this house is attached to those who we are extremely intimate with. Which is what Sex is truly isn't it? 

 生活中應該很少人是不在家裡的浴室裡刷牙洗臉吧？你會讓多少人___。因此這個宮位會跟我們最親密的關係產生連結。而性，不也正是如此嗎？

The 8th house shows how you eliminate or NOT ...  what you get rid of and how easy or difficult it is to rid yourself of things, people, and habits. This house often portends the death and ending of things which if you look at this as a natural cycle you will be fine with.

 八宮顯示你如何消除/拋棄，以及你自己是否能輕易戒除/拋開物質上或是情感上的感覺，或是一個習慣，反之亦然。這個宮位通常也表示物質的死亡，死亡乃是必然的自然循環，坦然接受才能使你安然度過。

IF not... then you fight this house and it can give you lots of trouble because we have to allow the cycle of life and death to flow don't we?

 否則的話，與八宮的正面衝突，正如同我們跟自然的生死循環對抗一樣，可能會帶來不少的麻煩。

Retrogrades are important points in these Houses, as well as planets. But all the houses or 12 areas of life are extremely important.  When I look at a chart I see empty houses and say. 

在這些宮位裡的退行星與行星都是非常重要的。不過，當我在觀察空宮時，我會說象徵著生命12種主要領域的宮位，也具有相當的影響地位。 (另一種翻法：退行星在八宮跟十二宮裡的位置，跟退行星本身一樣都相當重要。就算是空宮，12宮所象徵的12個生命領域，每個都是生命的重要部分。)
