In The Bowl Of Heaven Evangeline Adams wrote of her long and highly successful career as an astrologer. She described the people who were her clients, many of them nationally or world famous, discussing their problems, the astrological advice she gave them, and the results of her advice. Practicing for some forty years, first in Boston and from 1899 in New York until her death in 1932, Miss Adams guided and advised over one hundred thousand people through their troubles, and the confusions and complexities of life.

She based her advice on the astrological chart, which contains an intricate pattern of information applicable only to the individual for whom it is drawn. To say that a person is a Leo, or a Capricorn, may be true in itself, but this is only the sign in which the Sun was placed at his birth. It is an astrologically important point, but only one among a great many others of equal or often of much greater importance.

The astrological chart is highly complex, and her ability to analyze the chart with all its intricate detail, and to interpret this in understandable terms, made Evangeline Adams a great astrologer. Astrology is a subject for rational analysis, and I cannot too strongly emphasize that in guiding her clients Miss Adams was not a mystic. In her own words: "I do not claim to be psychic or clairvoyant. I do not read minds or faces or handwriting or palms." A member of the old New England Adams family, she was a practical, logical person with an analytical mind. The guidance she gave to her clients was all drawn from a study of the astrological chart itself.

Miss Adams wrote several books which distill her long years of astrological experience.
