‘The Dictator’s Astrologer’ book signing at Borders

Author Roberleigh Claigh will do a book signing and talk at Borders Books and Music at 2:30 p.m., tomorrow. “The Dictator’s Astrologer” is a historical novel based on the life of Afra Waesch, a well-known astrologer in Nazi Germany. Hitler had a team of astrologers to forecast propitious times during the war. Inevitably Afra came to his attention.

Most of the general public is unaware of the part astrology and the occult played in World War II. Even the British devised a complex astrological plot to bring down the Nazis.

Woven into the crushing Nazi regime are Afra’s experiences with Adolph Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, head of the dreaded Gestapo, her love for Egon Beyer, her daughter Ellen’s dancing career in the cabarets and touring with the Special Services, the death of her son-in-law in the snowy wastes of Russia, and Afra’s finally finding peace in sunny California.

This book also reveals Hitler’s mad obsession for power, his bizarre relationship with Geli Raubal, his conquest of most of Europe, his fatal blitzkrieg into Russia, the final desertion of everyone except the beautiful Eva Braun, the overwhelming destruction of Germany, and after the end, an incredible discovery.


“The Dictator’s Astrologer” is the tale of two people traveling in opposite directions. While Afra was striving to become more spiritual, Hitler’s only goal was absolute power that gradually cast him into darkness and despair.

Claigh’s talk will include some rare and unpublished photographs, as well an upcoming astrological cycle that will affect us all.

Roberleigh Claigh has been an astrologer for over 30 years. She has been researching the horoscopes of Hitler and his Nazi leaders for 16 years.

She is author of “The Star Gazer” and “Numerology For Personal Transformation.”

" Dear Editor,
I am a former U.S. Coast Guard Search and rescue team member at Barbers Point. I never read the scathing November 28 article about a rescue I did in 1977 while on leave.
In November of 1977 I had visited Kauai on leave and hiked the Na Pali coast to go camping. On the trail I saw some hikers in front of me ignore the cries of a man saying he was poisoned by mushrooms he had eaten. I know that there are many poisonous varieties from the orange mushrooms to the copelandia varieties which are deadly. I stopped and he was vomitting and telling me that he was dying. I laid my sleeping bag down onto the ground and made him comfortable then lit my coleman stove and cooked him soup to eat. He ate the soup and continued vomitting. He said that he needed immediate attention. I ecouraged him to vommit everything out of his stomache.
I asked him if he would be OK while I ran back to Haena for help and he said please do that.
I ran from his location sometimes skipping the zig-zags in the trails steep inclines jumping straight down to the trail below. I had injured my Achilles tendon by twisting my ankle which put me on light duty upon returning to Barbers Point.
I then knocked on the first door I found and asked them to contact the U.S. Coast Guard that there was a man stranded on the trail who needed immediate attention.
The Fire Department went in on the trail and found the man walking out on his own. This is why the writer in 1977 claimed that I had misread the situation and that is why he called my rescue "The Rescue that wasn't". I believe that had that man died, his death would have been on my ticket and given that rescuing folks was my business I had a responsibility to perform.
We may never know what part my inducing vomiting played in the recovery of this man. I'd like to believe that it played a major role in his quick recovery.
I am proud that I stood for the highest traditions of the U.S. Coast Guard on that fateful day on the Na Pali Coast.To this day, I have a lump in my Achilles Tendon which hurts on certain days to remind me of that day I ran into that man.
Malama Pono,
Former 3rd Class Petty Officer Ronald Pray "
