The Power of Persuasion:
Astrology, Cult Leaders and Control
presented by Charles Jameson
Why do seemingly rational people become involved in cults, and what makes cult leaders so appealing to their followers? And what do we mean by the term ‘cult’ anyway?
In this presentation, Charles Jameson looks at why people get involved in cults led by charismatic and often dangerous individuals – people who willingly obeying their leader’s command, no matter what, even unto death.
Do cult leaders have certain astrological characteristics that account for their uncanny ability to bend others to their will? To address this question, Charles summarises his research surrounding ten infamous cult leaders by looking at their astrological similarities and differences, and dipping into example charts to illustrate key points.
