2. Today’s topics Overview What is a cult?
General themes of a cult leader
Astrological themes of a cult leader
Solar Arc Directions (SADs): two minute tutorial (optional)
Example charts

3. Overview Human behaviour is fascinating
Why do people believe what they believe?
Cult leaders are examples of the power of belief in action
They demonstrate the ability of one person to influence others
And convincing those ‘others’ (i.e. their followers) to believe
Do cult leader charts have anything in common?

4. What is a cult?
One person’s cult is another person’s sect, group, club or religion
So there is a subjective element to the term ‘cult’
However, (to me) a cult takes things to another level:
Corruption
Such as: the manipulation and exploitation of other people, taken to unethical and inhumane extremes
Cults are not always the stereotypical ‘master/servant’ model … cult members often see themselves as sharing participants; equals in the ideology their leader promotes

5. What is a cult?
Cults attract all sorts of people, including ‘educated professionals’, many often get involved in a cult with the best intentions
Despite many diverse examples, cults (and their leaders) follow a very similar narrative or ‘story arc’
You can find a brilliant example of this on Netflix … a documentary called ‘Holy Hell’ [show image of poster for this movie]

6. General themes of a cult leader
Charisma (initially charming, engaging, ‘loving’, ‘kind’, ‘caring’)
Hidden wisdom (spiritual, mystical, mysterious, messiah-like)
Ideology (‘believe me’, Revelation, the apocalypse, we are an elite)
Crisis/turning points (lead to a new understanding, life direction)
Coercion (do what I say)
Contradiction (what applies to you … doesn’t apply to me!)

7. General themes of a cult leader
Isolation (disconnect followers from the real world)
Sex (on my terms, all or nothing)
Fear (fear of not being ‘loved’ by your leader, of rejection)
Ego (ultimately, it’s about me)
Mostly male
‘Dad issues’?

8. Astrological themes of a cult leader
One planet has significant influence in cult leader charts and lives
Yep – Neptune; significant natally, by transit, Solar Arc Direction
Particularly – natal Neptune in a major aspect to Mercury, and (to a lesser extent) the Sun
If most/all transpersonal planets aspect Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, then the leader has a more powerful message
A Saturn aspect to Neptune natally assists in turning Neptunian fantasy/vision/desire into a workable reality

9. Solar Arc Directions (Two minute tutorial)

10. Solar Arc Directions (SADs)
SADs complement transits, progressions, etc
Frank Clifford has a great A5-sized booklet on Solar Arc Directions
With SADs, ALL horoscope planets and points move by an equal amount (about 1° per year); very slow – so they are ‘background’
The actual ‘degrees per year’ will depend on the Sun’s apparent daily motion on the day of birth – software works this out
Look to aspects from SADs to natal, orb of 00°.30’ or less (six months)
Here’s a quick demo of SADs, using my mate Barry’s chart …

11. Barack Obama August 4th, 1961 7:24pm, Honolulu, Hawaii
Inner = natal, outer = SADS
At birth, natal and SAD positions are the same
Move to birthday two years later, 1963; everything has moved 2°
Moved to 10th Feb, 2007: announced he was running for President
Moved to 4th Nov, 2008: elected President
Barack Obama August 4th, :24pm, Honolulu, Hawaii

13. Charles Manson Born to a 15 year old mother; never knew his father
Mum went to prison when he was five
Charming, rebellious child
Reform school, petty crime, prison
He learnt a lot in prison
Released, 21st March 1967, Manson arrived in San Francisco, certain he would one day be a famous musician

14. Charles Manson
Recruited a loyal group of followers to his ‘peace and love’ family
He used them to serve his own ends
Isolated his followers from society
Fed them a philosophy of exclusivity, fear, control – helped by drugs
Manson warned of a massive social uprising, aka ‘Helter Skelter’
Which he and his ‘family’ would survive, to one day run everything

19. Charles Manson: summary
Tough childhood, reform school, prison and wilful personality
This led to an intense, shrewd, pragmatic narcissist – a ‘faker’
Hidden desire to be a famous musician (Mars-Neptune in 5th) informed actions
Indoctrinated, drugged, brain-washed his followers to obey his every command as if it were truth
Excellent book reference [book cover shown on screen]: Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson, by Jeff Guinn

20. Raël Born Claude Vorilhon
Born to a 15 year old mother; hardly knew his father, raised by grandmother
Ran away from home and school at 15
Musician and busker in Paris, minor pop hit
Later founded a sports car magazine, Autopop, first published in May 1971
1973: oil crisis, car racing cancelled, restrictions

21. Raël 13th Dec, 1973: has a UFO ‘close encounter’
[original presentation showed a four minute video at this point, where Rael describes his first encounter with the alien. You can find it on YouTube]

22. Raël
He closes the magazine, starts a UFO group, writes a book, The Book Which Tells The Truth, about what he learnt from the alien/s
7th Oct 1975: second ‘close encounter’
The Elohim flew him to their home planet
There he met Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed; this was the source of his second book, Extra-Terrestrials Took Me To Their Planet

23. Raël
Built a global following, the Raelians; once claimed 65,000 members in 85 countries
Liberal, anti-religious, pro-sex, pro-cloning and pro-GMO; a nuclear apocalyptic group
Raelian philosophy remarkably similar to works of Jean Sendy and George Adamski
Claims his mother was whisked off to heaven and impregnated by Yahweh, prior to his birth

24. Raël And that he is the ‘last prophet’
Genesis is all about space ships
The Elohim are scientists 25,000 years more advanced than us; they created humans as an experiment
Nuclear annihilation likely, unless we change
His mission: spread the message about the truth of humankind, build an embassy in preparation for the aliens’ return

29. Raël: summary

Mars-Jupiter conjunction, square Saturn: Risk-taker, big actions; ‘what I do, I do in excess’, in a larger-than-life way
SAD Uranus into 11th, trine Venus (9th ruler): denotes the start of his religion
A Venus-Uranus inconjunct type of religion: quirky, modern, decorative, costumed, sexual

30. Raël: summary
Close friend says Raël ‘made it all up’ after the 1973 oil crisis finished his motoring career
Sex, ego, narcissism… says 1st wife Marie-Paul: (
Written works and Raëlian philosophy similar to work of Jean Sendy, George Adamski
FYI, end of the world due:
Aliens might come back to visit, via the embassy Raël and followers will have built by then

34. Marshall Applewhite In March 1972 he meets Bonnie Nettles
Nettles is a nurse, theosophist and…
…astrologer!
Instant (always platonic) ‘soul’ connection; an encounter predicted by her psychic, ETs
Together, they create a worldview of UFOs, biblical prophesy and preparing souls for the ‘next level.’ Nettles validates his visions
From January 1st, 1973, they spend years on the road promoting these beliefs to the public

35. Marshall Applewhite March, 1972: meets Nettles

37. Nettles-Applewhite
If we flip the charts, we see things from Nettles’ perspective
Outer = Applewhite
Inner = Nettles

38. Applewhite-Nettles
A joint philosophy solidifies during their road trips They are ‘The Two’: the two witnesses in Revelation; higher level minds, destined to die, resurrect, travel to the ‘next level’ via spaceship/UFO
They claim to represent ETs from the ‘next level’ and can assist their followers to evolve
They have about 80 followers by 1980
Nettles diagnosed with eye cancer in 1983
She dies 20th January, alone
Applewhite depressed, a crisis of faith in The Two

40. Marshall Applewhite
Applewhite becomes more paranoid; emphasises a strict hierarchy in his group, has a fear of conspiracy
Group goes underground, until 1988
Begins to discuss ‘the Apocalypse’
Applewhite dictates a very ascetic, detail-obsessed Virgo-ish lifestyle for his group (Heaven’s Gate): fastidious and controlling, but followers free to leave at any time – sort of

41. Marshall Applewhite
In the early 1990s, Applewhite and his followers move to New Mexico, then California
Applewhite and several other males undergo surgical castration … since sexual desire is ‘Luciferian’ and hinders reaching ‘the next level.’
22nd-25th March, 1997: 39 members of Heaven’s Gate commit suicide; their aim is to finally re-join Bonnie Nettles; who is…
…in a UFO, in the tail of comet Halle-Bopp

43. Marshall Applewhite: summary
Ruler of 9th, my religion, is Jupiter in 4th, conjunct Pluto, square Uranus – a heavy duty religious philosophy
Sun-Moon conjunction symbolises ‘The Two’. Nettles Libra Moon in air, on his 7th … assisted his emotional mess
Her Mercury conjunct his Neptune, and Nettles’ Saturn/M.C. square his Neptune enabled constructive elaboration of his (their?) alien worldview

44. Marshall Applewhite: summary
Mental health issues around sex and identity during mid- to late 1960s and early 1970s
Met a ‘kindred soul’ in Bonnie Nettles
Did she share his psychosis, a folie a deux?
It was nevertheless a powerful partnership – Nettles organised and shaped his/their visions into a joint philosophy
Nettles’ death escalated Applewhite’s paranoia, control, fear … which led to the group rationalising suicide

45. David Koresh Born Vernon Wayne Howell
Born to a year old mother; hardly knew his father
Learning difficulties at school
But by age 13 he had memorised large sections of the Bible
In adulthood he liked music, fixing cars … and guns

Joined the Seventh Day Adventists, and later the Branch Davidians
Rose through Davidian ranks, to be leader

51. David Koresh ‘I was taken up past Orion, to meet God.
He spoke to me, and I saw that he was made of unblemished flesh. In a flash I received a complete key to the Scriptures, how the puzzle fitted together.
I knew that it was my destiny to unlock the Seals and open the way for our community.’
January 1985: In Jerusalem, he meets seven angels on Mount Zion
The angels reveal to him the secrets of the seven seals in the Book of Revelation
Koresh is told he is the ‘seventh angel’ mentioned in Revelation

57. David Koresh: summary
Neptune square Mercury: a message from higher realms
Venus-Mars in Virgo 12th, passion for the message
Mercury, ruler of his 9th (and 12th)
Mercury in Leo, Sun square Jupiter: This message is big, and I’m a part of it
The Armageddon he predicted – came true for the Branch Davidians

58. David Koresh: summary
Developed a complex ideology woven from diverse biblical texts
This ideology was attractive and compellingly presented to an audience that was predisposed to such views
The ‘war’ with U.S. authorities played into the prophecy of apocalypse and the ‘end times’, martyrdom
Did power and sex corrupt Koresh?
[Biographical details, dates, events etc and Koresh quotes are from The Branch Davidians of Waco: The History and Beliefs of an Apocalyptic Sect, by Kenneth G. C. Newport (Oxford University Press)

Powerful connections to his Mercury – means his message will be noticed
Saturn to Mercury helps formalise the message
Sun-Pluto – like Koresh, a large sense of self
Libra 9th – my ‘religion’ is Venus, about ‘relationship’ – allegedly in the worst sense, i.e. sexual exploitation of attractive ‘spiritual brides’
Despite this – many thousands of devoted followers (go figure!)

67. Anne Hamilton-Byrne
Born Evelyn Edwards, in Sale, Victoria, 30th December 30th, birth time unknown
Infamous founder of ‘The Family’ sect/cult, based in Melbourne and regional Victoria
A documentary movie and book about The Family was released last year
More about those at: thefamilysect.com

68. Anne Hamilton-Byrne
‘[Anne is] a mystic of the highest order … unquestionably the wisest, the serenest, and the most gracious and generous soul I have ever met … I have met my Master’ - Raynor Johnson
Worked as a yoga teacher in Melbourne and Geelong in the late 1950s
22nd December 1962: Hamilton-Byrne knocks on the door of 61 year old Melbourne physicist, Raynor Johnson
He was head of Queens College, University of Melbourne
Johnson had a passion for metaphysics, and was captivated by Hamilton-Byrne

69. Anne Hamilton-Byrne
Johnson and his wife were the first initiates into her group, ‘The Great White Brotherhood of Initiates and Masters’, via LSD-induced visions
Many others (including nurses, a psychiatrist) would join them in the following years
Anne had a powerful, possibly psychic, presence and charisma
To followers, she was Jesus Christ reincarnated; Johnson was her ‘John the Baptist’, world due to end in 1983

72. Anne Hamilton-Byrne
In 1971, Hamilton-Byrne’s group set up a facility at Lake Eildon, Victoria, called ’Uptop’ or ‘Kali Lama’
Children were raised there; many thought they were brothers and sisters, Anne their mum
None of that was true; they were foster children given ‘special education’ home schooling by guardian ‘Aunties’

73. Anne Hamilton-Byrne
‘She is the most evil person with the most evil set of crimes that I have ever investigated in my 18-year career with Victoria Police. If you want to know the definition of evil, you look at Anne Hamilton-Byrne.’ - Lex de Man
14th August 1987: Uptop was raided by armed state and federal police
Children who had earlier escaped alleged malnutrition, severe punishment, etc
Hamilton-Byrne extradited from the U.S., faces court in Melboune
Hires a QC and gets off lightly: a $5,000 fine for forging documents
[Note – the quotes cited here (from Lex de Man and Raynor Johson) are from the book, ‘The Family’ by Chris Johnston and Rosie Jones which was mentioned earlier in this section. More details here: thefamilysect.com ]

74. Conclusion Natal Neptune-Mercury aspects are a common theme
It doesn’t mean you’ll be a cult leader, but it gives you a head start
There’s a common ‘story arc’ to all these cult leaders – initial charm, gradual build-up of power, a change in sexual attitudes, becoming un-hinged … losing the plot
Many have a ‘crisis’ of some sort, which changes everything, opens new doors, shifts consciousness in some way
They believe they are chosen, their followers are chosen, that the world might end – and they need to do something about it
