Broughton's Monthly Planet Reader

Broughton’s Monthly Planet Reader and Astrological Journal is the first astrological magazine to be published in America. It ran from 1860 to 1869 during the span of the Civil War. In it Broughton published the horoscopes of significant figures like Abraham Lincoln and General George B. McClellan along with predictions regarding battles and other important events of the day. Reproduced here from my own photocopies of the magazine, rulingplanets.com is proud to present Broughton’s Planet Reader as part of its Astrology in America feature dedicated to telling the history of Astrology in America.
