The ancient Astrologers, in these particulars, were accustomed to pay peculiar attention to that part or quarter of heaven in which these celestial appearances were first seen; added to which, they observed in what constellation of heaven, and near what fixed stars of eminence, they were posited, in respect to their longitude, . They also deduced'a system of presages from their color, shape, resemblance to swords, crowns, - halo's, wands, flames of fire, etc. But the most philosophical and also natural way, is evidently to cast a theme of heaven, to that hour in which they are. first seen: and from which the certain cause of their appearance is more likely to become manifest to the student, than in any other manner. The figure of the heavens at the appearance of the Georgium Sidus, or the new planet discovered by Herschel, and since called by his name, evinces the singular truth of this corollary. - This planet was first discovered on March 1.3th 1781, 10h. P. M.; and by casting the horoscope for that period, the student will perceive that the celestial stranger was in the ninth house of heaven, and Saturn in the twentieth degree of Sagittarius, in the second house or house of wealth. - The horoscope of his appearance of course most plainly indicated, that the influence to be expected from this newly discovered star would be eminently evil - and such, Astrologers have ever found it to prove. - Therefore it readily follows, that the same rules must be observed in every case, where a new celestial appearance or unusual phenomena is observed in the heavens.
