Executive summary: Reagan's astrologer Heiress astrologer based in San Francisco. Introduced to Nancy Reagan by Merv Griffin in 1976, after appearing as a guest on his talk show. After Ronald Reagan was nearly assassinated by John Hinckley in 1981, Quigley revealed to Nancy that she could have forseen the tragedy and averted it through the use of her star charts. For the next seven years, Quigley set the president's schedule based on precise astrological calculations, determining (often to the second) the most auspicious dates and times for conferences, travel, and state functions. Quigley's technique involved comparing the star charts for a hypothetical individual with Reagan's birthday (his exact time of birth was unknown, so charts had to be extrapolated from events in his life) with that of another hypothetical individual born on 4 July 1776. Her consultancy was terminated in 1988 when ousted Chief of Staff Donald Regan revealed the existence of a White House astrologer in his 1988 book For the Record. Father: John B. Quigley (hotelier)
