In some measure, this has been anticipated in our foregoing remarks, but not entirely; for some are notorious and infamous, at the same time; some notorious and splendid; some renowned; and some are subject to fame, and to " live in history;" who are yet occasionally subject to pecuniary misfortunes.

Testimonies of a public name, are when the superior planets, especially and ' are angular; of course, although publicity and notoriety are denoted by or , being angular, yet in the mid-heaven these stars, especially the two former, are very malignant and mischievous, generally denoting some sad catastrophe to finish the portents of such a scheme of nativity. The more these planets are afflicted amongst themselves, or afflict the luminaries, the worse it is; as also when assisted by a good aspect, they are not so evil; indeed, when the evil planets are fortunated by configurations, they produce good out of evil.

Three planets or more in the same sign of the heavens, cause a public name at some particular period of life; the time of which depends entirely on the operating directions.

in the mid-heaven, near the eusp, are sure to produce great success in life, with a name known both far and near, or if and be conjoined with these they give an extensive fame, great honor, lasting credit, power, and eminence. The native is sure to eclipse and outdo all his contemporaries, as well as to be victorious in almost every controversy wherein he may be engaged.

The sign alone, is found to produce many persons of eminence, on account of the great number of fixed stars it possesses. All the planets above the earth, (or the greater part of all) indicates fame; and or near the mid-heaven, is another testimony of glory or renown; and a name " that must live after death", yet it gives numerous petty rivals, who, to use the simile of an old author, like " dogs baying the moon", are generally as presumptuous as they are imbecile and worthless.

and conjoined, near the mid-heaven, or near the cusp of the ascendant; and in the ascendant, or mid-heaven; angular in or ; the in a watery, and the in a fiery sign; as also in mundane or to the mid-heaven, or in mundane or to the ascendant, (in which instances the planets must be on, or close to the cusp of the twelfth, ninth, second, eighth, fifth, or sixth houses)all these are typical of a moderate eminence; but the most powerful of those aspects is the mundane to the mid-heaven, from the cusp of the twelfth house; next to this is the mundane to the mid-heaven, from the sixth house. or , being thus posited in to the M. C. are sure to produce effects worthy of envy, (if any thing can justify that passion.)

Planets in the fourth house, although angular, are by no means so powerful as in any of the other angles; and although they foreshow an eminent name, late in life, it is by no means durable, but liable to strange interruptions; while they who have the fortunate planets, especially or in the tenth house, have a durable celebrity. The cause for this may be probably owing to the natural strength of the mid-heaven, since every thing in the creation, seems to point to the zenith; and indeed were it not for the fructifying and genial beams of the Sun, in his diurnal approach to that part of the heavens, not only would all vegetation be annihilated, but all the earth would become barren, bleak, and desolate. The mid-heaven is therefore justly accounted by Astrologers, the most powerful angle in the whole celestial circle of the heavenly houses.
