Evangeline Adams (born February 8, 1868 in Jersey City , New Jersey , † November 12, 1932 in New York , NY ) was an American consultant, astrologer and author.

Life

Evangeline Adams first worked as a practical astrologer in Boston. In 1899 she moved to New York . The owner of the hotel where she first stayed was quoted in daily newspapers as saying that , when asked about an interpretation of his horoscope , she had predicted an imminent or impending fire incident which, since he laughingly dismissed the warning as irrelevant, actually his hotel destroyed and claimed deaths in his family too. Evangeline Adams then opened an astrological practice in Carnegie Hall . Among their customers the opera singers were Enrico Caruso and the British King Edward VII. It was 1911 and 1914 because of divination (English: "fortune telling") indicted. Since she created an anonymized personal horoscope of his own son for the judge and interpreted it - according to his impression correctly - she was acquitted of the charge of illegal activity and her work was recognized as serious. She became America's most famous astrologer of her time. In addition to several books of astrological content, she wrote her autobiography at the age of 58 .
