Gossip Friday: Fire This Astrologer

From January 1941:

From “Hollywood–Beware in 1942: Events–some happy, some ominous–as seen by a reliable astrologer in the ’42 futures of your favorite stars”

Gable and Lombard: Last year I told you all about Mr. and Mrs. Clark Gable and how well suited they are in every way. They still are–but I want to warn Clark that due to the transiting Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, he will be under bad aspects. He must be as conventional as a country schoolmarm during all of 1942 and especially during August. The heretofore tolerant public will scowl and turn thumbs down at Clark’s slightest deviation from the path of convention.

August and part of September are bad for Carole also. Her chart indicates some sort of whispering campaign affecting her home started early and which, under the bad aspects of August and September, can turn into loud talk and black headlines if not checked into its infancy. These aspects affect only Carole’s home. Her career prospers and brings her new acclaim and her health, which has not been too robust, should improve after January.

Clark, be careful. You can lick your stars, you know.

Considering Carole died on January 16, I’m going to say her health certainly did not improve after January. She wasn’t around for August and September, so there goes that. Clark joined the Army in August 1942, distraught after Carole’s death. Is that being “conventional as a country schoolmarm?” What a joke.
