On April 1, 1860 Philadelphia Astrologer Luke Dennis Broughton - TopicsExpress



          

On April 1, 1860 Philadelphia Astrologer Luke Dennis Broughton began publishing his monthly planet reader. It was America’s first astrological magazine. It ran throughout the course of the American Civil War. Broughton published the horoscopes of famous people (like Lincoln) along with battle predictions in a column titled “Fate of the Nation”. My lecture will be about this overlooked chapter of American Astrology history and it will provide an intriguing glimpse into how astrology was practiced at the time. I hope you can join me for THUND’ROUS PORTENTS: Astrological Forecasting and the American Civil War.
