Once the world's most famous astrologer, Evangeline Adams popularized astrology in the U. S.  Foreseeing the Future chronicles Adams' life and forecasts, and also illuminates the history of astrology and the occult in the 19th and early 20th centuries.  Karen Christino's one-of-a-kind biography tells the astounding tale of a woman who defied convention and made a lasting impression on American culture.  Adams wrote four books and had a top-rated radio show in the early 1930s.  She battled legal authorities in New York City for the right to practice astrology, married a man over 20 years her junior, founded a tremendous business enterprise and made stunning predictions.  J.P. Morgan, Tallulah Bankhead and Joseph Campbell were just a few of her renowned clients.  This book will fascinate anyone interested in cultural history, women's studies or astrology—skeptic and believer, expert and novice alike.

"Everyone in astrology will adore this book, written grippingly and beautifully by Karen Christino… One can not put it down, nor ever forget it!"  — Noel Tyl

"A must read for anyone interested in the history of astrology in the U.S." — Robert Zoller

"Whether Adams was indeed a great astrologer or simply an opportunistic charlatan is a judgment best left to the reader, who will undoubtedly be absorbed by Ms. Christino's affectionate yet balanced account.  — Judi Vitale, The Mountain Astrologer

"… a major contribution to the history of astrology.  If you want to know the truth, both factual and astrological, behind the legend of Evangeline Adams, read this book."  — Ken Irving, American Astrology Magazine

Karen Christino was a consulting astrologer in New York City for over 20 years.  Her books include three on Evangeline Adams (a biography, astro-biography and a mystery novel) and editing the work of Al H. Morrison.  She has also written about wedding astrology and declinations, and wrote horoscope columns for Glamour, Cosmopolitan and Modern Bride magazines, among many others.
