Adams may not have explicitly foretold the fall of Lehman's or the exposure of Bernard Madoff, but here's a prediction from her 2006 book Essential Astrology for Women: "Corporations will crumble and fall ... Anything with a big pyramid structure and massive skyscraper towers is vulnerable." Dumb luck or precognition? Let's look at her current take on politics.

This money, designed to be disbursed over the course of five years, spurred...
...what they thought was necessary to prevent what they viewed as a possible catastrophic failure of the national and perhaps global banking system. If Merrill Lynch had been left on its own to suffer huge fourth quarter losses, it might have faced a fate like that of the departed Lehman. Morgan Stanley (MS) nearly had the same set of problems until the Japanese financial house Mitsubishi UFJ agreed to honor a commitment to put $9 billion into the U.S. investment firm.
