SHEILA STOKES – ASTROLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE KING OF DENMARK’S CHART
SHEILA STOKES As an astrologer, I have dedicated myself to the application of celestial influences on human existence. My journey into the realms of astrology began early in my life with a deep fascination which led me to eventually pass exams; and I joined the Association of Professional Astrologers in 2009. My approach to astrology is deeply rooted in tradition, drawing inspiration from the luminaries such as Valens and Lily. Their timeless wisdom serves as a guiding light in my work, infusing depth and authenticity into my classes and consultations.
ASTROLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE KING OF DENMARK

In January 2020 Paul had a consultation with Sylvia Wilson and since then has been a student of Sylvia’s and is continuing his studies with the aim of gaining professional qualification. As a Boilermaker by trade and very practical by nature, Paul loves the real application of Astrology and what that can bring into our lives through understanding the cycles of the heavens. Paul believes Astrology can help us to learn more about ourselves and of course the people around us, and sees it as an especially helpful tool for parents to help guide their children and to understand their needs.
The Astrology of Cult Leaders
We will take a look at the natal charts of a few well known Cult Leaders including Jim Jones and David Koresh.
Cult Leaders form and mould their followers through careful manipulation and deception… The Cult Leader reinvents themselves as a messiah and the only conduit through which their followers may receive direction. Once this level of control is established, the consequences are often deadly.
What are some of the underlying issues of these individuals and how is that reflected in their natal charts?
Also, what was going on Astrologically when it all fell apart?
