Another interesting part of astrology history is searching about astrologers story and personality.



Evangeline Adams was one of the most important figures of the most recent Western Astrology. Her career climaxed with a precedent-setting court case in which she demanded that astrology itself be placed on trial!!

From The Mountain Astrologer, Feb/Mar, 2000:

"Adams came from the same illustrious family as two American presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams; however, she dismayed her conservative New England relations by, "dabbling in heathenism," that is, by wanting to become an astrologer. She became a very successful astrologer and gave advice and comfort to about 100,000 people during her 40-year career.

"Her clients ranged from the poor and unknown to the powerful and famous. She taught astrology to financier John Pierpont Morgan, who once stated, 'Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do.' Tenor Enrico Caruso never crossed the ocean during World War I without first consulting Adams to obtain the safest dates for sailing."

In addition to her huge clientele, daily radio show, newspaper columns, and publishing Monthly Forecast, Adams wrote four astrology books, now out of print:
