GAY ASTROLOGY
Homosexualy has existed all tim and might actually be beneficial for the evolutn of human nscns – so please be rpectful when you´re lookg at the stuff and don´t explo someone that has not e out yet!
Even though I thk this is the most tertg and probably the most accurate ia of searchg for the gay/third genr/homosexual ditns I want to add my own rearch on this, of urse g the prcipl that he shar wh his stunts.
And so I did and what I found was that those openly homosexual celebri that I studied had, eher om the lagna of shastiamsha or om the 12 pada the shastiamsha rahu and ketu eher 1st or 7th hoe –> homosexual mal had rahu first and ketu the seventh and for homosexual women they had rahu the seventh hoe and ketu the first.
THE GAY MAN YOU NEED TO DATE, BASED ON YOUR ZODIAC SIGN
I would like to add that a person won´t be homosexual wh only Rahu the first, as a male, or Ketu the first hoe, as a female, – ´s the afflictns of rpectively the moon quali or solar quali (ually afflicted by Saturn) that nfirms .
I was recently asked wherever astrologers believe homosexualy uld be reprented wh an dividuals natal chart?, and found to be a very tertg qutn that got me thkg; pecially relatn to our ials of genr, generalisatns and an active search for e and ditors of such a a path of sexual orientatn - I feel that is about time that I at least st a sual eye on the subject self. (In reflectn this is anythg but sual, a b long, wdg and badly eded so I suggt that if you are up for you grab yourself a nice cuppa) In begng this blog entry I feel that I uld simply change the tle to homophobic astrology as seems would better reprent some of the works on morn astrology, that are sadly by and large eher very homophobic or credibly unr rmed on the realy of beg gay. Of urse homosexualy and beg gay self is far more than jt a sexual orientatn but sadly our current rctive Virgoan society mands that dividuals sexually polarise and intify themselv as eher homosexual or heterosexual, stead of beg somewhere between or beyond a fixative label of orientatn.
I first began my path wh astrology and beg gay myself I undoubtedly like many other gay neophyte astrologers out there rearched the topic, immediately I was stck by a number of problems: aquacy of material available astrology on same sex relatnships or ed on any aspect of homosexualy astrologil lerature. It is tertg to note that one person he selected was Edward the 8th later De of Wdsor) ltle astrologers have wrten to date about homosexualy merely to my ey unrl the still wily held notn that homosexualy is a nrosis, a parture om the "norm" and hence n be tected the astrologil none of them have ever as far as I am aware backed this up wh sound empiril evince.

The followg quot taken om an article by Peter Clamp which n also be found some current astrologil texts (that are currently wily available) are among some that I believe will support my view:Derek and Julia Parker state that aspects between the Sun/Moon and Uran "…are often prent the charts of homosexuals of both sex.
Francis Sakoian and Louis S Acker The Astrologers Handbook (which is a very popular paperback published by Pengu Books sce way back 1974) has associate the hard aspects of Ven/Neptune and Mars/Neptune wh homosexual exprsn.
