The Great Fire of London (1666)

William Lilly, an astrologer, published an almanac in 1666 that included a drawing showing London in flames. Later that year, the Great Fire of London occurred, devastating much of the city. Although the accuracy of his prediction is debated, the event has become a prominent example of astrology's perceived power to forecast significant disasters, cementing Lilly’s reputation.

The French Revolution (1789-1799)

Astrologers noted the significant alignment of Uranus and Neptune during the late 18th century, predicting societal upheavals. This period saw the French Revolution, which radically transformed French society and politics by overthrowing the monarchy, establishing a republic, and initiating a series of wars across Europe. The Uranus-Neptune alignment was interpreted as signaling revolutionary change and the dismantling of established structures.

The 9/11 Attacks (2001)

Several astrologers, including Lynn Coiner and Barbara B. Hand Clow, pointed out ominous planetary alignments leading up to September 11, 2001. They noted a Mars-Pluto opposition and other challenging aspects suggesting conflict, destruction, and transformation. While astrology did not predict the specific event, these astrologers interpreted the planetary alignments as indicators of significant global tension and upheaval.

Ronald Reagan's Presidency

Nancy Reagan famously consulted astrologer Joan Quigley during Ronald Reagan's presidency, especially after the assassination attempt in 1981. Quigley's advice reportedly influenced the timing of press conferences, speeches, and even the president’s travel schedule. This reliance on astrology for political decisions underscores the influence astrology can have even in modern times, affecting critical aspects of governance and public life.

The Election of Donald Trump (2016)

Astrologers like Susan Miller predicted a significant shift in American politics during the 2016 election, noting unusual planetary alignments that suggested an unexpected outcome. The alignments, involving Uranus (a planet associated with sudden changes and revolution), were interpreted as indicative of a political upset, which many believe foreshadowed Donald Trump’s unexpected victory over Hillary Clinton.

The Stock Market Crash of 1987

Astrologer Arch Crawford, known for his financial astrology, predicted the stock market crash of 1987. He based his forecast on the rare alignment of Mars, Saturn, and Uranus, which he interpreted as a harbinger of financial turmoil. The crash, known as "Black Monday," saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average fall by 22.6% in a single day, aligning with Crawford’s predictions and lending credibility to financial astrology.

The COVID-19 Pandemic (2020)

Astrologers like Jessica Adams noted the significant conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn in January 2020, predicting major global upheaval and transformation. This conjunction is historically associated with profound changes and challenges. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought unprecedented changes to daily life, economies, and healthcare systems worldwide, coincided with this astrological alignment, leading many to see a connection between the two.
