Joan Quigley, Astrologer to a First Lady, Is Dead at 87 - NYTimes.com
Skeptic » Insight » Woo in the White House by Donald Prothero
In her 1990 book What does Joan Say?, she claimed
I was responsible for timing all press conferences, most speeches, the State of the Union addresses, the takeoffs and landings of Air Force One. I picked the time of Ronald Reagan’s debate with Carter and the two debates with Walter Mondale; all extended trips abroad as well as the shorter trips and one-day excursions.

From the New York Times,
In his 1988 memoir, Donald T. Regan, a former chief of staff for President Ronald Reagan, revealed what he called the administration’s “most closely guarded secret.”

He said an astrologer had set the time for summit meetings, presidential debates, Reagan’s 1985 cancer surgery, State of the Union addresses and much more. Without an O.K. from the astrologer, he said, Air Force One did not take off.

From Donald Prothero,
It is truly frightening to think that the activities of the most powerful man on earth from 1981–1988 were dictated by an astrologer, and that we could have done terrible things or even gone to war on the advice of a woo-meister.

I am reminded of a Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King ---- government by séance.
 
If only the nuts who run the GOP, and who worship at the alter of Reagan, were aware that Reagan was (1) a rino by modern standards and (2) in bed with the devil.
 
I notice the timing on the speech at the Washington Hilton Hotel didn't work out too well.
