Can Astrology Tell Us About Homosexualy? As an astrologer, I have been asked numero tim about the lk between astrology and homosexualy.
I may disappot many people, but there is no direct ditor of homosexualy astrology, nor is there any direct ditor that you will have six children, live on a farm, or own a phone chip pany. Note that I e the word “direct” bee there are actually several direct ditors that tell whether we or someone else is homosexual. Although astrology n’t answer your qutns as much tail as possible, do offer some poters to tell whether someone is gay or not.
Some of the most mon astrologil ditors of homosexualy clu Saturn the 1st hoe, Mercury njunct Ven, Ven the 12th hoe, and Saturn oppose Moon. Homosexualy astrology.
