Have you ever heard people say that things are “written in the stars”? Well, as someone who has studied astrology for a long time, I believe that even though we direct our own destiny, there are some astrological indicators that may point to homosexuality.
Here are a few astrological aspects that could suggest someone is gay or bisexual. The article won’t go into being transgender but instead focuses on signs that may point to same-sex attraction. If you’re wondering about being trans, you should check out this article instead.
Can Astrology Tell Us About Homosexuality?
Astrology can’t directly say whether someone is gay or not. There aren’t signs that pinpoint someone’s sexuality, number of kids, or where they’ll live. However, looking at multiple astrological factors together can provide some context clues.
Certain combinations seem to make same-sex attraction more likely, even if it’s not 100% certain. Common signs linked to being gay include Saturn in the first house, Mercury near Venus, Venus in the twelfth house, and Saturn opposite the Moon. Astrology can’t give all the answers, but it offers hints about whether someone may be gay.
Saturn In The 1st House
Having Saturn in the first house can be tricky. It can be hard to figure out who you are and what you’re into. You feel like you’re always following rules (but you hate it.)
You think you have to act a certain way for others. Even though you want freedom, you don’t want attention. As a kid, life was tough mentally and physically. You may have felt sad and alone. You could have headaches or head injuries. All that worrying and thinking about who you are and whatnot is probably why you’ve been getting those headaches.
But later in life, it gets better. You find success and make your dreams come true. You may even find love when you least expect it. It’s like all that hard stuff you went through as a kid pays off in the end. All the challenges make you strong. They help you be okay with who you are, even if you’re gay. You just don’t go around telling everyone, but deep down, you’re okay with it and at peace with yourself.
Mercury Conjunct Venus
Mercury conjunct Venus is believed by some to indicate homosexuality, especially for men. People with this astrological placement are very intelligent and knowledgeable. In love, they tend to be attracted to mature, intellectual partners or those significantly older.
They value freedom in thoughts and actions. They dislike limits on what they can do. These free thinkers see love as deeper than just a word.
They may be gay themselves or have many LGBTQ friends who respect them. With Mercury and Venus aligned, men are said to be very gentle, beautiful, and sensitive. They enjoy beauty, art, and self-expression. Careers like hairdressing or art fit their talents.
With a gift for communication, they may express deep feelings through poetry. Your interests could show your sexuality, like writing poems on homosexuality or reading books where people come out.
Saturn Opposite Moon
If you were born with Saturn opposite the Moon, you might feel like you’re from another planet. This is a powerful placement that can make you feel separate from your body and identity.
You’d be more likely to feel depressed, anxious, or frustrated. Sometimes, you feel lost in your feelings or don’t know what you’re feeling. Or you know how you feel but not why or where it came from.
This is especially hard for men, who often have unhappy marriages. They may feel some innate prejudice against their mothers, like they failed to teach them something as a kid. Now, they try to figure it out alone.
For women, this placement means some self-acceptance later in life. If they’re gay, they likely won’t admit it until after middle age. First, they need to accept themselves before feeling comfortable being open about it with others.
For both women and men with this aspect, they spend a lot of time introspecting and figuring out their sexuality. But eventually, they accept who they are and come out. These types of people don’t seem gay at all, so when they do come out, it really surprises those close to them, like friends and family.
Venus In The 12th House
Venus in the 12th house is said to indicate hidden love. People with this astrological placement tend to be loners with many secrets. They can daydream about their ideal partner so much that they lose touch with reality.
The 12th house makes them fearful of coming out about their sexuality. The longer they keep it hidden, the more stressed they feel. Unless they have secret feelings for someone of the same gender, they may hide intimate secrets that have nothing to do with their sexuality.
Men with Venus in the 12th house may even marry a woman and have kids while secretly being in love with someone of the same sex. Sadly, not all people with this placement will publicly come out. Many take their secret to the grave, so to speak.
Other Indicators
- The Moon sign is thought by some to correlate with queerness. Having a Moon in Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra is said to make someone more open to exploring non-traditional relationships and orientations. These air signs are associated with freedom, open-mindedness, and fluidity.
- The Venus sign can also be a factor, according to some believers in LGBT astrology. Having a Venus in Scorpio or Pisces is thought to make someone more fluid and less strictly “hetero-normative” in their attractions and relationships. Venus rules love and relationships, so its placement can be meaningful.
- The placement of Uranus, the planet of rebellion and revolution, is another possible indicator. Having a strongly placed Uranus, especially in the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, is said to make one more nonconforming when it comes to sexuality and relationships. Uranus disrupts traditional structures, so its influence could make someone question heteronormative assumptions.
Zodiac Signs Most Likely To Be Gay
There aren’t any scientific studies that directly connect your zodiac sign with being gay or straight. But you know how stereotypes are – people think some signs have a better chance of not being straight.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Leos are known for being flamboyant, dramatic, and outgoing. They enjoy being the center of attention and are comfortable with self-expression. These stereotypically “gay” traits lead some to believe that Leos may be overrepresented in the LGBTQ community.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Geminis are associated with being versatile, open-minded, and androgynous. They are known for having a wide range of interests and fluid identities. These more “gender neutral” qualities lead some to link Geminis with being gay or bisexual.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Aquarians are stereotyped as being progressive, unconventional thinkers. They value independence, authenticity, and individuality. Aquarians are often seen as open to exploring identities outside of societal norms, including non-heterosexual orientations.
Let’s Wrap This Up
Astrology can be a fun way to learn about yourself, but I wouldn’t use it to assume things about someone’s sexuality. Even so, you really shouldn’t take your birth chart as the full story when it comes to being gay. And we can’t expect the stars alone to work some kind of magic.
For the ladies, I’d say pay more attention to how Mars aspects your chart. For guys, take a closer look at Venus. But most importantly, follow what’s in your heart – it’s the wisest thing of all. Love is love
