Thank you for your thoughts on ...Athan ~~ Hi there! Thank you for your thoughts on this.<br /><br />I understand your point of view, but am still of the view that, because gender cannot be ascertained from the natal chart - looking at a chart "cold" without knowing the identity of its owner -then it can't be possible to have a signature for homosexuality/lesbianism, or for heterosexuality or, for that matter, asexuality (a subject not often considered). <br /><br />As far as I know, and I might be wrong in this, in most gay couples, who are established couples, there's one partner who's more "yin-ish" and one who's more "yang-ish" if you know what I mean. The makeup of the couple, their combined characteristics, remains similar to that of a heterosexual couple. That seems relevant to keep in mind here. <br /><br />As you've pointed out, aspects and placements have a variety of meanings. Signatures for any sharply defined aspect of life are not easy to find in astrology, from what I've read. A chart might indicate a domineering personality, for instance, but to define more about its owner's sexual preferences isn't easy. That chart might belong to a woman, or a man, he/she might be hetereosexual, homosexual or asexual - how to tell ? And, importantly, why would anybody need to know? The person to whom the chart belongs knows.<br /><br />These are my own views, and I do appreciate that others hold different ones. Thank you, again, for stating yours.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-16848745195575102622011-06-29T19:41:04.003-05:002011-06-29T19:41:04.003-05:00''Moreover, the search for an astrological...''Moreover, the search for an astrological signature for homosexuality presupposes that it is abnormal in some way.''<br /><br />I don't agree with that. In the same sense the search for ANY astrological signature in a chart would be abnormal and searching the meaning of things in life through astrology would be vain.But it is certainly not! Homosexuality has nowadays been something quite in the open and gay people are all around and I think it is quite natural (in terms of astrological thinking I mean) to search how this trait could be portrayed in a chart. Of course simplified statements such as Mars square Uranus equals gay are certainly NOT acceptable since aspects have a lot of ways to express their energy in a person's life and they don't mean just one thing.<br />My 50 cents..Athanhttp://www.athanastrology.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
