Walter Mercado Hospitalized With Chest Pains

By Michael Lopez

Astrology fans got quite a shock this morning with news that legendary psychic Walter Mercado had been rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, as of right now, he appears to be on the mend and making a full recovery.

It seems Walter (or Shanti Ananda as he now likes to be called) experienced some deep chest pains earlier in the week and wound up heading to the Puerto Rican E.R. Now approaching 80-years-old, "Shanti" has had his share of health scares in recent years.

Back in November 2010, Mercado checked into a hospital after feeling symptoms of pneumonia. Thankfully he recovered from that incident and we're very hopeful he'll pull out of this too.

As we all know, 2012 is proving to be a big year in the astrological realm. With that Mayan end-of-the-world prediction looming over our heads, Walter’s services are in need now more than ever.

Get well soon Shanti!
