Donald T. Regan (1918–2003) was an American government official who served as the White House Chief of Staff under President Ronald Reagan. In May 1988, Regan revealed in his memoir that President Reagan had sought the advice of a private astrologer during his tenure at the White House1.
Regan stated that "Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House chief of staff was cleared by a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in favorable alignment for the enterprise." This revelation was confirmed by White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater, who stated that President Reagan and his wife, Nancy, were both deeply interested in astrology1.
The astrologer in question was Joan Quigley. Regan's disclosure brought the association of divination with national security into the news, sparking public interest and debate1.
