William 
                    Lilly was once Britain's most famous astrologer. He lived 
                    from 1602-1682 and had many royal and celebrity clients. He 
                    once published a woodcut showing the Gemini twins (which govern 
                    London) above a city consumed in flames. After the Great Fire 
                    broke out, he was accused of starting it to fulfil his own 
                    prophecy. Later though, he supported Cromwell in the Civil 
                    War and damaged his reputation by making overly impassioned 
                    predictions. Eventually he restored his good name though a 
                    series of more accurate judgements. On Monday, at 11am in 
                    London, at the Old Aldwych Station, an official plaque is 
                    being erected to his memory.
