What is Jean Dixon Psychic?

Posted by admin

Although she passed away on January 25, 1997, Jean Dixon left a legacy that won’t soon be forgotten as probably the most famous psychic of our time. Predicting that President John F.Kennedy would die in office was the one that gave psychics the most attention and was her most famous premonition. Actually, Kennedy’s assassination took place in Dallas, Texas but her prediction was that a democratic president elected in 1960, a tall young man with blue eyes and brown hair, would die in office. Reporters were told that the president would be assassinated, according to Dixon, but they refused to put that part in print.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan were two of many famous celebrities advised by Dixon. Astrologers and psychics were relied on by Nancy Reagan to set the president’s schedule, causing her to be constantly hounded by the press. Until the day she decided that Dixon had lost her powers and aligned herself with her rival, Joan Quigley, Dixon was one of the people she relied on the most. Dixon also wrote seven books, her autobiography and horoscopes for dogs, astrological cookbooks and several books on psychic phenomena. She was an influential Washington society girl, well known and a firm believer in ESP.

Political columnist Ruth Montgomery was driven to write a book called “A Gift Of Prophecy: the Phenomenal Jean Dixon” following Kennedy’s death in 1963. Published in 1965, this book sold more than three million copies and told of hundreds of accurate predictions Dixon made throughout the years. A celebrity overnight, the publishing of this book meant Dixon was in demand to do lectures, eventually starting her own syndicated horoscope column, which was printed in newspapers all over the world.

The psychic that everybody loved to hate, she was under constant attack in tabloids all over the country. Year after year were reports by countless people that Dixon’s predictions were bogus and that she had never made one that actually came true, including the one about Kennedy’s death. The “Jean Dixon Effect” where people come up with a few accurate predictions but conveniently overlook the hundreds of false predictions that never come true was coined by John Allen Paulos, a respected Mathematician.

Only some of Jean Dixon’s premonitions came true. She predicted that World War III would start in 1958 over some offshore Chinese Islands and that labor leader Walter Reuther would run for president in 1964 and that the Russians would land the first man on the moon.

Jean Dixon may not have always been accurate with her predictions but she will always remain one of the most colorful and well know psychics in history.
