Jeane Dixon (1918-1997) was one of the most well known astrologers and psychics of the 20th century. She had a syndicated astrology column and a best-selling biography. Dixon was an astrological adviser to several celebrities; most famously Nancy and Ronald Reagan. Among her many predictions, including annual New Year predictions, Jeane Dixon is best known for what some believe was her prediction of John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Parade magazine in 1956.
The highlights of the sale are Jeane Dixon’s personal crystal balls. Lot 1370 was Dixon’s secondary crystal ball and lot 1371 was her primary crystal ball. Both lots open for bidding on Arfact Live! at $500 but are expected to far exceed that amount.
