BARBARA WATTERS
Mercury Hour, April, 1984, quotes Watters' Obituary in the Washington Post:
"BARBARA HUNT WATTERS, 76, an astrologer in Washington since 1957 and a founder of the National Academy of Astrologers, died of cardio-pulmonary arrest January 2, at George Washington University Hospital. Mrs. Watters was born in Chicago and attended the University of Chicago. She learned to read astrology charts in the late 1950s and lectured frequently throughout the United States. Among her students was Svetlana Godillo, who wrote an astrology column for the Washington Post until she died in 1982. Astrologers had a meditation gathering at the Kay Chapel of American University in Washington, DC, in Watters' memory on January 28, 1984."
From the AFA Bulletin, February, 1984:
"Barbara H. Watters was a professional
member of AFA since June 1963. She was a talented author
and several of her books have been among the best sellers
on AFA's book list.
Barbara was well known throughout Washington political circles for her work in mundane and horary astrology. Her last publication, Astrological Analysis of Dow Jones Averages was released in time for the 1982 AFA Convention. Her efforts in later years had been in the direction of teaching advanced students the art of forecasting national and international events. She will be sorely missed."
