dMidheaven

Valens-style angular testimony treats the Midheaven as a public-status pivot where exaltation or malefic placement can mark reversal patterns between early success, later ruin, or later renown.

• Brady separates angle and natal-planet fixed-star contacts in a way future source-backed chart-overlay policy can reference after branch-specific review.
• De Quindecim provides a fifteen-star electional or magical corpus with Moon and angle framing that should remain separate from general chart-overlay fixed-star mechanics.
• George and Hand both support MC/IC whole-sign boundary context: these points can remain meaningful even when they are not the beginnings of the tenth and fourth houses.
• George gives passage-level support for Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant, and IC as four directional chart angles, while topic interpretation remains out of scope.
• Robson provides angular fixed-star prominence material that can support future source-note wording after claim-level review.
• When angular places are empty for period rulership, Valens moves the allotment to stars just following the angles, and then to stars just preceding them if the following places are also empty.

If the opposite Exaltation/malefic placement obtains in this reading, the chart receives an ill-fortune-early/later-renown reversal indication.

If Exaltation is at MC and a malefic is at IC in this reading, the chart receives an early-success/later-ruin reversal indication.

If Jupiter is in conjunction with Exaltation and angular, or itself rules an angle in this reading, the chart receives a renown indication.
