Olga's horoscope, year 1896

In 1896, when Olga was almost two months old, Prince Charles of Denmark drew a horoscope predicting her future — and it would prove to be eerily accurate. This short article was published in the New York Times from Westminster Gazette on January 12, 1896.

The article:

Prince Charles of Denmark has been exercising his ingenuity in drawing the horoscope of the Czar's infant daughter. The Grand Duchess Olga, if her life is preserved, will be of medium height. This, the Prince informs us, is clearly seen in the positions of Jupiter, the Bull, and Neptune at the moment of her birth. The same data, apparently, vouch for the prediction that her hair will be brown and slightly curled, that her eyes will be dark, and her face inclined to roundness. The rest of the horoscope is less satisfactory. At the age of one little Olga may suffer a very severe illness. This horoscope further discovers critical periods at her third, fourth, six, seventh and eighth years. He does not guarantee that she will even reach the last-named age, but if she does she will assuredly reach twenty. This is, at least, twelve years of peace to be thankful for. It is certain, however, that she will never live to be thirty. It is much more certain, if the report is true, that astrologers — even when Princes — may occasionally be guilty of exceedingly bad taste.
