I am Sharon Knight, a qualified, practicing professional astrologer with nearly 40 years of experience. My practice is dedicated exclusively to Traditional and Classical Astrology.
Unlike many modern practices that rely heavily on contemporary psychological profiles and the outer planets, my work focuses on the ancient body of astrological techniques that survived for millennia. Traditional astrology is succinct, precise, and practical, it is designed to give you clarity and direction, helping you navigate an of life's approaching storms with foresight and concrete strategies.
Like many, my fascination with the stars began at age 16 when I read Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs. For years, I believed astrology was limited to those twelve solar archetypes, and it admittedly made for a great party trick! Everything changed when I met a traditional astrologer who using my full birth data was able to accurately pinpoint specific events from my past.
Intrigued, I began formal studies with evening classes, the Astrological Lodge, and the Faculty of Astrology. However, I found myself disillusioned by the vague, purely psychological and Jungian approaches of modern training, where predictive work was actively discouraged. To me, the ultimate value of astrology lies in its ability to look ahead and give practical guidance.
The turning point came when I connected with the late, legendary Olivia Barclay, a pioneer who revived traditional astrological education. Studying under Olivia, I earned my QHP Diploma , eventually becoming a course tutor. My dedication to older traditions was further solidified when I met the late Robert Zoller, who ignited my passion for the medieval viewpoint of astrology. I also joined the ARHAT group in London, collaborating with learned peers to translate ancient Latin texts.
Today, I share this time-tested knowledge globally through professional consultations, writing, and teaching. Before turning to astrology full-time, I spent years in the corporate property and construction industries, rising to the position of Deputy Director for a major Scandinavian property group. I have also worked in the diplomatic field, lived across America and the Middle East, and helped build various businesses. This extensive commercial background gives me a rare, pragmatic understanding of the business world, which I am able to apply to my corporate client consultations. My consultation practice spans the UK, Europe, America, the Middle and Far East.
I am the current Course Convenor and Tutor for the QHP, and run my own professionally accredited Traditional Natal Astrology course. I have lectured and taught for schools across the globe, including China, India, Greece, Romania, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, the Astrological Lodge in London and the Astrological Association GB. For over 11 years, I maintained a regular slot on local radio discussing astrology and mundane events. My writing included special columns for the Daily Mirror, the weekly astrology page for Now magazine, and contributions to local publications.
My comprehensive practice covers a wide spectrum of traditional applications:
- Natal & Vocational Astrology: Mapping individual life potential, talents, and ideal career directions.
- Horary Astrology: Providing specific answers to pressing personal or business questions based on the chart of the moment.
- Electional Astrology: Selecting the most auspicious times to launch businesses, marry, or initiate major projects.
- Traditional Medical Astrology: Blending my astrological knowledge with my background as a qualified, non-medical herbalist. I specialised in combining these two disciplines to support couples experiencing fertility difficulties (please note: I offer holistic alignment and do not provide medical diagnoses).
- Business & Synastry: Corporate mapping, business coaching tools, and relationship dynamics.
I am the Chair and a Fellow of the Association of Professional Astrologers International (APAI), the first global professional body representing qualified astrologers (founded 1990). I have also edited and written their quarterly newsletter for the past 15 years. I have an MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from Bath Spa University (2004), where my dissertation focused on the historical application of astrology in medicine during the 16th and 17th centuries.
I hold the Certificate and Intermediate Diploma from the Faculty of Astrology, alongside the prestigious Horary Practitioners Diploma (QHP). I also hold a Diploma in Phytotherapy (SAC Dip, Master Herbalist Phytotherapy) and am a certified Life Coach. In January 2016, I was awarded the title of "Astrologer of the Year" at the 26th International Astrological Conference in India.
I am based in Sussex, England, within easy reach of Eastbourne, Brighton, and Lewes.
