Joan Quigley, the astrologer who helped determine
President Ronald Reagan's schedule and claimed to have convinced him to soften
his stance toward the Soviet Union, has died at the age of 87.
Quigley died Tuesday at her home in San Francisco
after an unspecified illness, her sister, Ruth Quigley, told The New York
Times.
Nancy Reagan began consulting Quigley after the 1981
assassination attempt on her husband. She wanted to keep him from getting shot
again, the first lady wrote in her 1989 memoir, My Turn.
