Blacque, Lilith. "Queer: An Astrological Exploration Of Self" Astroqueer (Ed. Sy Scholfield), 26 April 2001.

"Most astrologers begin their journey through thorough study and interpretation of their own astrological (mainly natal) chart. We all want to know what makes us "tick" as individuals, the "hows" and the "whys" to why we function the way we do, therefore we often spend hours delving into the clues that astrology can lay bare. For myself, I think, my exploration of self is even more pronounced since I realized that I am sexually attracted to women..."

"It's about time that the astrology which dared not speak its name start talking. Queer astrology is right here, right now, and it's different. They're our charts, our lives, our souls evolving. Now we take charge with our own approach."

Burk, Kevin. "Keywords: Gay, Homosexuality, Sexual Orientation" Astrological Horoscopes & Forecasts "Ask Kevin" (February 7, 1997).

"there is no way that a person's sexual preference can be seen in the birth chart. There are no house placements, no aspects, and no planetary patterns that offer a "gay signature" to a chart...Just as there are no "bad" planets and no "good" planets (or aspects, for that matter), there are also no "sex" planets, either. All planets, all aspects can be experienced through our sexuality, just as they can be experienced in every other way possible (and, in fact, they are)."

Chandler, Martin. "Understanding Karl Heimsoth" c. 2004. [http://www.geocities.com/suntwofish]

"In 1928 German psychoanalyst Karl Heimsoth published a small book entitled Charakter-Konstellation (in the American edition the title was unfortunately changed to Homosexuality in the Horoscope). Heimsoth's intent was to demonstrate that astrology could be a useful tool in psychoanalysis, and he chose the topic of homosexuality to build a case in favor of his claim. Heimsoth's work has been little understood, but this has not prevented some astrologers from attacking and maligning Heimsoth."

Clamp, Peter. "The Astrology of Homophobia" The Wholistic Astrologer Issue 3, Feb-Apr 2000 & Issue 4, May-July 2000.

"As a gay man I have always been interested in whether or not homosexuality can be detected in the astrological natal chart. A number of astrologers have claimed that they can. I have always been sceptical. So as part of my initial research I decided to discover if there was any common thread in what they said. The results of this research provoked me into changing the last word of the title of this dissertation from 'Homosexuality' to 'Homophobia'."

Dearman, Jill. "Tangled Web of Ripley" StarIQ.com, 2000.

"By 1949, Highsmith was ready to write a serious piece of fiction that dealt with her own concept of "the double." Fellow writer Truman Capote (a Libra) used his influence to get her accepted into Yaddo, the renowned writers colony in New York. While at Yaddo, Highsmith wrote her first novel, Strangers on a Train, about a dangerous fellow without a purpose in life who pitches the idea of "trading murders" with a successful man he meets while traveling."

Dearman, Jill. "Chloe Sevigny's Scorpionic Exploration of Sexuality" StarIQ.com, 2000.

"The first time they make love, she is making love as a heterosexual woman to a presumably heterosexual young man. Later in the film, she has a lesbian love scene with Brandon after "he" has revealed himself to her as a biological woman. Never in a film has the complexity of gender and sexuality been explored so sensitively, realistically and passionately. And never has there been an actress so capable of exploring these deep and controversial waters before."

Fertig, Jack. "Uranus, The Queer Planet" www.starjack.com [1997] 2003.

"It is very easy to say simply that Uranus rules homosexuality and to take off from there. It serves us far better to examine the history of the Uranian principles, both planetary and sexual. Of course same sex love has been with us since the earliest days. From Hadrian to Hammarskjold, from Sappho to Stein, gay people have been recorded all through history, but our modern terms and any notion of a gay community are entirely modern, and come out of the demographic shifts and scientific ideas of the industrial revolution."

Jawer, Jeff. "The Astrology of Intimacy."

"Love is not enough. To live together in an intimate relationship there are other criteria that must be met. Love, in fact, is very different to different people."

Jordan, Shelley. "The Repression of the Feminine in Astrology" C.U.R.A., , , 2000.

"This gender bias continues in the system of houses, which came to analogously resemble the zodiacal signs when the template of the zodiac was superimposed onto the twelve sectors. The traditional view of the houses carries some of the onus associated with gender, particularly with regard to the water houses. Specifically, the 8th and 12th houses, which correlate with Scorpio and Pisces, carry the stigma of prejudice against the odious feminine. The 8th house is traditionally connected with death. The 12th house has been known for centuries as the realm of hidden enemies and self-undoing..."

Kaldera, Raven. "Pallas the GenderBender" 1997. The Theme Stream 24 February 2001.

"The results were that Pallas made a significant aspect in every one of the trans-folks' charts, and frequently to their Suns, Moons or Ascendants. Even more interesting, most of the "significant other" charts had Pallas conjunct or in major aspect to Venus, which suggests that something in their makeup caused them to be romantically drawn to people of unconventional gender."

"Certainly for intersex babies, it is more than time to put some slack into the gender system. Children with "ambiguous" genitalia, meaning a little of both, are surgically mutilated at birth so their parents will not have to explain things to the neighbors, and so society will not have to readjust its thinking about the two- gender prison. Often these individuals end up with serious medical complications later in life due to forced hormone therapy, and frequently the surgery leaves them with no physical sensation in what is left of their genitals. Many end up back in the sex-change office anyway, despite their parents' best efforts to keep them traditionally-gendered. This has to stop. It is an affront to humanitarian ethics, of which Pallas also has a strong interest."

"Keep in mind that every October is National Coming Out Month. What better way to prepare and celebrate this liberation than to open up, explore and expose all the closets in our horoscope [?]."

Lichtenstein, Madame (Charlene). "The Stonewall Riots"
     Madame Lichtenstein. Stargayzer.

"Astrologers are often consulted to give proper perspective and intelligent illumination to certain major events. For those of us who enjoy a little 20/20 hindsight, I modestly offer an astrological analysis of the events at Stonewall in 1969. I, for one, believe that the planets set the whole thing in motion."

"Magi Astrology Works on Gay Relationships" Magi Astrology 17 October 2000.

"One of the things we mentioned in the last link is that Magi Astrology is consistent. In fact, Magi Astrology is so consistent that you can apply the principles of Magi Astrology to understand gay relationships in the same way that you can utilize them to analyze heterosexual ones."

"In June 1969, some of my kind stopped taking abuse from the authorities, and started to fight back, at the beginning of something called Gay Liberation. I was there, at the Midheaven, looking down on the faggots and dykes at a bar in New York called the Stonewall Inn, breaking windows, throwing stones, and shouting Gay Pride. Not for the first time, and not for the last."

"While there are several symbols that signify peace in any language, a new one has emerged from the collective unconscious to link them all. This new symbol - identified here as Persephone - comprises the radical, or morpheme, in the visual grammar of peace symbolism. At a subconscious level, archetypal Persephone - the radical symbol for world peace - forms the creative radix from which the designs of the peace symbols have been tapped . . ."

Sellar, Wanda. "The Fall of Oscar Wilde" Traditional Astrologer Magazine Summer 1995.

"The bristling self-confidence of a Leo Moon, accelerated by its sinister square to Mercury and dexter square with Uranus creates a pattern of erratic genius and self-will. Even though Wilde was offered a chance to flee from justice he refused to budge. Could this be an example of his self-undoing, immortalised in his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol?"

Thomas, Angela. " Robert Mapplethorpe: "Enfant Terrible" of the Photographic World" AFI Journal #3 (1996).

"Astrologically, Mapplethorpe has a complex and strongly Scorpionic chart. The fixed water sign of Scorpio holds claim to the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and his Ascendant. Here we have an intense and passionate individual who lived life on the edge and was ruthless in his pursuit of fame and fortune. The pronounced conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter resonated strongly in his life."

"Vesta, High Priestess: Lesbianism" Astrology.com (no date).

"Female energy is complex and powerful, and nowhere is this more evident than in female-female partnerships. Lesbianism embraces the feminine principal so totally that it leaves little room for men as lovers or soulmates. Together, women wield considerable power. Vesta's Virgins held some of the highest positions in their city's hierarchy. In medieval Europe, girls and women could choose to enter a convent and become part of a female society (within a male-dominated church)."

Weidner, Christopher A. "The Icarus Effect (The Variety of Sexual Lifestyles in the Horoscope)" (Trans. Matyas Becvarov). 2000.

"When we understand that "sexuality at the deepest level is not something which power fears, but much more is something through which it achieves its aims" [Foucault] we shall perhaps also understand that we can escape the incessant sexualization of our beings by the "sex police" as we begin to see in the polymorphism of the sexes an expression of human freedom. Perhaps this is the form the transition from Saturn through Uranus to Neptune takes; when sexual categories no longer mean anything to us; when we must come to terms with other categories and finally realize that more people surround us than men, women, homo- or heterosexuals."

Wickham-Smith, Simon. "Transsexuality and Astrology" Astrological Journal 40.6 (Nov/Dec 1998): 19-26.

The archetypal masculine and feminine are symbolically embodied by the astrological chart, no more so than the Sun/Moon and Mars/Venus configurations. In the interpretation of any chart, of course, we have to remember the holistic principle -- that, for instance, withing the masculine Sun there is also the female -- without which an analysis would lack depth. This is all the more necessary when considering the chart of a transsexual subject, since the interplay of self and gender will be especially subtle and complex."

"Lilith’s placement seems to indicate the way in which the subject deals with tabus and the way in which his or her society works with tabus. We are generally looking here at tabus surrounding sex and gender and sexuality, but Lilith’s mythopoëtic placement on the periphery means that she represents whatever is pertinent to the subject."
