＃占星學中Rule與Dominate的意義
學習占星這麼多年 讓我相當困惑的就是文字，特別是專有名詞。
我們從過去沿用下來的翻譯名詞，毫無抗性的接受。在學習的過程中這些名詞讓我產生了理解上的障礙而且卡很久。

Rule 這個英文在原文占星書籍當中無論是傳統占星或是現代占星都有一樣的意思，在中文翻譯是「守護」、「宮主星」的意思。

守護、宮主星是類似門神、有保護的意思。看起來沒有多大的問題，但是在之後的解盤分析可能會有釋義的困難。

「守護」本身沒有負面的意思。Rule 有治理、統治、控制、操控。

在中文當中這些解釋並非全都是正面意義，因文章內容不同賦予不同的正負面意義，星盤解讀也是如此。

Rule在傳統占星翻譯宮主星，Rule若在自己的主管星座是因為性質、環境如魚得水容易取得控制、操控、統治、治理的優勢。

在卜卦盤這樣的配置，詮釋分析起來比較單純。在個人盤中可能會認為Ruler在自己的主管星座是有利或有力的。

我之所以用「可能」有經驗的占星師會依據星盤有不一樣的詮釋結果。

在人文心理占星，Ruler 則是守護星，在自己的主管的星座很容易因為這樣的優勢可能會形成過度的控制、操控、統治、甚至超越「界線」的自由。因為可能「太善於」了！是利是弊，很難一言以蔽之。
不受控制的行星往往帶來的是災難。如同老祖宗的教訓，人不能天不怕地不怕終究會自取滅亡。

當然此時相位變得相當重要。（不過在這裡不考慮相位只單純的分析行星與星座的關係）

Dominate指的是宮內星，Dominate 支配、主宰、稱霸。這裡詮釋的是行星所駐在的宮位呈現的現象。這三種解釋都相當有力量。

無論強勢行星或是弱勢行星都不能忽略個人受到此宮位能量運作的影響。

Dominate 行星在此會以主宰、稱霸、支配的形式在這個宮位執行，讓此宮領域事物發揮極致或是衰弱、衰敗、甚至無能為力。

如果一個行星Dominate 這個宮位剛好是此行星所配置星座失利、弱勢位置，代表先天不足如果再加上後天失調，可能會欲振乏力。
我們要克服的往往是了解自己的先天不足，如何改變調整自己的後天失調。用大家最有感覺的財物解釋，即便我們做了調整，這樣的改變不會讓你「變得很有錢」，至少不會讓自己無意識不斷的損財，有效的控制自己的財物損失。

心理占星所要認知、察覺的是先天的條件從何而來，後天的考驗道場是落在何處（宮位）。

對於 Dominate 稱主宰星、支配星、稱霸星也好，我不想多做額外的解義,過度的說明反而會誤導原意。

我們有意識的是後天宮位，卻常常忽略先天與生俱來對個人重要的影響。
先天的無形的趨力會造成我們後天有意識或無意識的追尋滿足自己的渴望、需求。

先天黃道星座的配置與後天宮位的結合整合詮釋分析必須先了解 Rule 與 Dominate的真義，才能理解星盤的運作方式。

一個人的根性有多強，不僅僅只是後天的環境造成，先天的能量、能力條件也決定了是否能接受後天環境的挑戰。

雖然我的法文很破，但封面我還是看得懂的。

從左到右：法國馬克宏、德國梅克爾、美國拜登、中國習近平、台灣蔡英文。

標題：Who will dominate the world ?

(不確定時態對不對？）

中文媒體有這篇文章的簡要敘述，主要就是談台灣的防疫成就。

COVID 19對人類歷史是場浩劫，但對台灣來說，台灣的民主政體及堅強社會力卻異軍突起，讓全世界矚目。

在台灣，我們習慣吵吵鬧鬧，網路上每天各側翼粉專殺來殺去，但在宏觀的歷史上，Taiwan is doing just fine 。

這本雜誌大概進不了中國了（或是本來就進不了？）。

有時候我覺得，我們應該更團結一點，也更有自信一點。

［時事英文］亞伯瑞（Ahmaud Arbery）槍殺案

學生有時會問我，為何該探討諸如種族主義等社會議題。答案很簡單。這些議題指出了我們社會的潛在問題，唯有開誠布公的討論與行動，才能解決這些問題。如果我們想建立一個更加包容、公平且進步的社會，那麼我們必須盡可能地將這些棘手的問題攤在陽光底下，面對它們。
　
Students sometimes ask me why social issues such as racism should be discussed. The answer is straightforward. These lessons point out underlying problems within our society that only open discussion and action can address. If we want a more inclusive, equitable, and progressive society, then we must all to our part to bring these difficult issues to light and face them together.
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
《紐約時報》報導：
　
Ahmaud Arbery loved to run. A former high school football standout, he had been jogging near his home on the outskirts of Brunswick, Ga., when he was shot and killed after being pursued by two white men with guns, according to the authorities. The authorities said he was shot after an encounter with Gregory and Travis McMichael, who had grabbed two guns and followed Mr. Arbery in a truck after he jogged past them.

2. on the outskirts of 在⋯⋯的郊區
3. be pursued by 被⋯⋯追趕
4. the authorities 當局；官方；當權者
5. an encounter with 與⋯⋯的遭遇
　
亞伯瑞喜歡跑步。有關當局表示，他曾是一名高中足球的佼佼者，一直在喬治亞州布倫瑞克郊區的住宅附近慢跑，當時他正被兩名持槍的白人追趕而遭槍殺。有關當局表示，亞伯瑞是在與格雷戈里以及崔維斯遭遇後而被槍殺，他們持有兩把槍，待慢跑的亞伯瑞行經後，遂駕駛一輛卡車尾隨他。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
Gregory McMichael told the police that he thought Mr. Arbery looked like a man suspected in several break-ins in the area. The Brunswick News, citing documents obtained through a public records request, reported that there had been just one burglary in the neighborhood since January: the theft of a handgun from an unlocked truck parked outside Travis McMichael’s house.
　
6. be suspected of 有⋯⋯的嫌疑；被懷疑
7. break-in (n.) 非法入侵；（尤指）入室盜竊
8. public records 公開紀錄；公開檔案
9. burglary 偷盜罪
10. the theft of ⋯⋯的偷竊
　
格雷戈里向警方供稱，他認為亞伯瑞看上去像多次於該地犯下非法入侵的嫌疑人。《布倫瑞克新聞》藉由公開紀錄的請求引述了相關文件，自一月以來，鄰近地區僅發生過一起竊盜案：有一把手槍在一輛未上鎖的卡車中遭竊，該輛卡車則停在崔維斯家外。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
For two months, the shooting received little attention outside Brunswick. As the coronavirus pandemic dominated headlines and shut down communities around the country, The Times spoke with Mr. Arbery’s friends and family, who were by then concerned the case might quietly disappear in their Deep South community, because social distancing restrictions had made it difficult for them to gather and protest.
　
11. receive little attention 很少受到關注
12. dominate headlines 佔據了頭條
13. the Deep South 美國深南部
14. social distancing restrictions 社交距離限制令
　
這兩個月來，槍擊事件在布倫瑞克並未引起太多的關注。由於冠狀病毒的大流行佔據了新聞頭條，以及全國各地社區的關閉，《泰晤士報》與亞伯瑞的親友進行了交談，他們當時都很擔心此案恐於深南地區悄然消失，因為社交距離限制令使他們難以聚集與發起抗議。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
On May 5, a graphic video of the fatal encounter had begun to circulate online. It galvanized an already growing chorus of voices calling for charges to be brought in the case. Recorded from inside a vehicle, it shows Mr. Arbery running along a shaded two-lane residential road when he comes upon a white pickup truck, with a man standing beside its open driver-side door. Another man is in the truck bed. Mr. Arbery runs around the vehicle and disappears briefly from view. Muffled shouting can be heard before Mr. Arbery emerges, tussling with the man outside the truck as three shotgun blasts echo.

22. muffled （聲音）變輕微（或低沉）
23. tussle with 與⋯⋯打鬥；盡力對付
　
５月５日，此一致命遭遇的血腥影片開始在網路上流傳。它激起了愈來愈多的呼聲，呼籲對此案提告。車內的錄像顯示，當亞伯瑞遇到一輛白色皮卡時，他正沿著一條為陰影遮蔽的兩車道馬路跑步，一名男子站在駕駛側敞開的車門旁。另一名男子則在車斗之中。亞伯瑞行經該車後，很快地於視野中消失。在亞伯瑞出現之前，可以聽到低沉的叫喊聲，伴隨三聲霰彈槍的槍響，並與卡車外的人打鬥。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
Travis McMichael, 34, and his father, Gregory McMichael, 64, were charged on May 7 with murder and aggravated assault — two days after a graphic video of the shooting of Mr. Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, became public, and more than two months after the killing itself. The case has generated a wave of outrage and raised concerns about persistent racial inequities in the justice system.

在２５歲黑人亞伯瑞槍擊影片公開後的兩天，即案發的兩個多月後，３４歲的崔維斯與他６４歲的父親格雷戈里，於５月７日被以謀殺與加重的企圖傷害等罪名起訴。此案已引發公憤，同時也加深了大眾對司法體系所固有之種族不平等的擔憂。

Panigale再進化。這次公升級Panigale全面進化成V4引擎規格，明顯展現了Ducati對於要稱霸賽車界的決心。很高興能跨上V4S騎一小段，小小感受一下這台突破Ducati自己格局的猛獸。好想去賽道體驗一下 XD

An evolved Panigale. V4 has become the new standard for Ducati's flagship sport bike. It's obvious that the iconic Italian manufacturer's ambition to dominate all race series. Although a short test ride, it was nonetheless a phenomenal feeling sitting on top of such a fine machine with latest technology. Wish I could try it at the track some day.

Bike: Ducati Panigale V4S

論文摘要
現今社會，成年人有著來自社會與生活的多方壓力，而這種壓力需要釋放，以慰藉情感，供成年人把玩之玩具就可作為釋放壓力的一個途徑。
過去人們認為玩具是兒童的專利，成年人如果玩玩具就會被認為是不務正業。但隨著時代的不斷變化，人們對於玩具的認識也更加豐富和多元化，成年人在情感需求之要求下，也希望通過玩具來使情感需求得到滿足，
在NPD調查的12個玩具市場中，全球最大的玩具市場—美國2017年銷售額比2016年增長了1%，達207億美元。而中國也僅次於美國成為全球第二大玩具消費市場。
「公仔」(Figure)為玩具之其一分類，這個詞源自70年代香港、澳門，是世界動漫產業興盛發展的新辭彙。然而目前市面上普遍為歐美系與日系公仔居多，相較少有屬於中國文化之公仔。因此，實體化中國文學角色並符合現代潮流的公仔設計為本研究之創作動機。
本創作以少人著墨之鐵扇公主和牛魔王角色為目標，兩角色似中國版美女與野獸，有著獨特的設計與衝突的美感，藉由ZBrush為數位雕刻並以光固化3D列印實體化，創作出古典與現代二款造型之潮流創意公仔。


People are experiencing pressures coming from various sources like, from our society and life. We need ways to release those pressures. Toys made for adults may serve as one of the great ways to release our stress.
Having fun with toys has been regarded as children’s privilege in old days. Adults would be considered childish if they were found playing with toys. As time goes by, however, people now a days, have different points of view about toys. Grownups, now a days are having emotional needs as well, to be met and some of them can be achieved through spending time and energy on toys.
A survey conducted by NPD (NPD Group, Inc.) on the 12 major toy markets over the globe shows that the world's largest toy market—the USA market sales increased by 1% up to a total of 20.7 billion US dollars in 2017 compared to the sales number in 2016. China, though second only to the US market for toys, does not have much of its own culture or literature related in any toy products.
"Figures ", also known as “Gong-zai” in Chinese communities, is one of the toys’ categories. This word, originated from Hong Kong and Macao way back 1970s, it is a relatively new term for the worldwide booming animation industry. American, European, and Japanese figures overwhelming dominate current toy markets and only few Chinese figures can be found among them. In the light of this phenomenon, the ideas to make figures from famous characters in Chinese fictions or literatures that follows the modern features of figures transform the motivation of this research.
The figures created for this research are the roles called “Princess Iron-Fan” and “Bull Demon King” which are famous but less mentioned. They are like the Chinese version of Beauty and the Beast, which are innovative crafted and exhibit the conflicting beauty. The software ZBrush is used for digital engraving and a photo-curing 3D printer modeling. The final products are characters with two different styles--classic and modern ones.
