[SIZE=4]Ronald Reagan's brain dies ten years after his body[/SIZE]. Former Reagan White House chief of staff Donald Regan said almost every major move and decision the Reagans made during his time was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes. He did not know her identity. The woman was in fact Joan Quigley, an heiress and Republican political activist who died Oct. 21 at her San Francisco home after an unspecified illness. Quigley told The Associated Press in 1988 after her identity was revealed that she was a "serious, scientific astrologer." Both the president and Nancy Reagan denied that any policies or decisions were based on astrology. But Quigley told a different story in her 1990 memoir, "What Does Joan Say?" Before Reagan's 1985 summit with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Geneva, Quigley said she advised Nancy Reagan that "Ronnie's 'evil empire' attitude has to go." "Gorbachev's Aquarian planet is in such harmony with Ronnie's, you'll see ... They'll share a vision," she recalled telling the first lady.
