In the foregoing table we have given the various significations of the fixed stars, according to the best authors; who, as well as several modern Astrologers of eminence, attribute great virtue and efficacy to their configurations, with the active or passive significators. A skilful amateur in the science, supposes their influence to contribute more particularly to the destinies of kingdoms and nations, than to individual fate. - The fixed stars increase their longitude every year about 50". Thus moving through one degree of the zodiac in seventy-two years, and are two thousand one hundred and sixty years in passing through one sign in the heavens, which, doubtless, may naturally be expected to cause important revolutions, and manifest changes in terrestrial affairs.
Having placed the " fixed stars" in the horoscope by the foregoing rules, the reader will observe the whole process at one view as underneath, for which purpose we give the figure.
