Ever wonder if there are clues in your Vedic astrological birth chart that point to your truth regarding sexuality? There are some indications that can offer insight into attractions and preferences.
Now, before you get worried, no one can tell you how you identify or who you’re attracted to – that’s a personal journey of self-discovery. But your chart may offer some clues worth exploring.
The complexity of human sexuality means there will never be a straightforward “this aspect means you’re gay” interpretation. But for people looking to learn more about themselves and find truth, this chart can be a helpful tool for understanding who you are deep down.
Homosexuality Through The Lens of Vedic Astrology
In Vedic astrology, the chart can provide insight into one’s sexuality and gender identity. Certain placements of planets and houses, as well as the relationships between them, may indicate an affinity towards the same sex.
The 5th house is all about love and romantic feelings. If the lord of the 5th is in the 8th house, which governs sexuality, this can signify homosexual tendencies. The 8th lord in the 5th house also points to this possibility. These placements create a connection between romance and sexuality that transcends traditional gender roles.
The Moon represents emotions, and Venus indicates love and relationships. If these planets conjoin or aspect each other while also aspecting Saturn, Uranus or Neptune, this can reflect a propensity for homosexual relationships or an androgynous nature. These outer planets introduce an unconventional and rebellious energy to the emotional and romantic expression of the Moon and Venus.
The ascendant lord, especially for air signs like Gemini, Libra or Aquarius, located in the 8th house is another indicator of homosexuality in the chart. Air signs are open-minded, intellectual and often androgynous. With the ascendant lord, which represents one’s personality and outward self, placed in the 8th house of sexuality, this may reflect a homosexual identity.
Indicators of Homosexuality In The Natal Birth Chart
If you were born with certain placements in your Vedic birth chart, it may indicate homosexual tendencies or an attraction to the same sex. Some of the main indicators of homosexuality in the chart are:
The 5th house represents romance and love affairs. If the 5th lord is placed in a dusthana house (6th, 8th or 12th house), or if malefic planets like Saturn, Mars or Rahu influence the 5th house or 5th lord, it can indicate homosexuality. The 5th house also represents creativity, self-expression and children, so its affliction may show challenges in these areas of life as well.
The 7th house represents spouse and legal partnerships. If the 7th lord is placed in the 12th, 8th, or 6th house or aspected by malefic planets, it may indicate homosexuality or a tendency to form unconventional relationships. There may be struggles in finding a suitable life partner.
Moon And Venus Placements
The moon represents the mind and emotions, while Venus indicates romance, relationships, and sexuality. If the moon is afflicted by malefic influences and placed in a male sign like Aries, Leo or Sagittarius, or if Venus is debilitated in Virgo, it can indicate homosexual preferences. Afflictions to the moon in a female’s chart or to Venus in a male’s chart, may also point to same-sex attractions.
These are not the only indicators, but some of the most significant ones. The chart must be analyzed holistically to determine the likeliness and intensity of homosexual inclinations.
The Role of The Planets Venus And Mercury
The planets Venus and Mercury in a Vedic astrology chart provide clues into a person’s romantic and sexual interests. For those with homosexual preferences, Venus, the planet of love and relationships, may be in a masculine sign or navamsha, or connected with Mars, the planet of passion, or Ketu, the planet of liberation and non-conformity.
Venus In Masculine Signs
If Venus is placed in Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius or Gemini in a man’s chart, it can indicate homosexual interests, as Venus takes on some masculine qualities in these signs. The native may be attracted to more assertive or athletic partners.
In a woman’s chart, Venus in these signs points to a more androgynous expression of love and relationships. She may prefer less traditional gender roles and be open to same-sex partnerships.
Venus Conjunct Mars or Ketu
When Venus and Mars are conjunct (sitting close together) in a chart, passions and desires are intensified. For homosexual individuals, this conjunction stirs a strong physical attraction and lust for the same gender.
Venus conjunct Ketu dissolves the boundaries of traditional relationships, opening one up to explore their sexuality in unconventional ways, which can manifest as homosexual interests or openness to polyamory and other alternative partnerships.
Mercury And Communication Style
Mercury represents how a person communicates and expresses themselves. Homosexual natives often have Mercury in a feminine sign like Cancer or Pisces, or a dual sign like Gemini. This gives a sensitive, emotionally intuitive communication style that is open-minded and willing to think outside of traditional gender roles. Mercury conjunct Venus or Mars amplifies this effect.
Aspects And Placements Suggesting Homosexual Tendencies
In Vedic astrology, there are certain aspects and placements that can indicate homosexual tendencies or an attraction to the same sex.
Moon-Mars Aspects
When the moon and Mars are in aspect, especially the conjunction (0°) or opposition (180°), this can indicate strong emotional desires and passions. In a male chart, this aspect may incline one towards more feminine or receptive sexual expressions, or being attracted to masculine or assertive partners. In a female chart, it can indicate the opposite.
Venus-Mars Aspects
Similar to the moon-Mars aspects, Venus-Mars aspects like the conjunction, trine (120°) or opposition can also point to strong desires and attraction. Venus represents love, relationships and sensuality, so aspects between Venus and Mars may lead to intense romantic or sexual connections, sometimes of a same-sex nature.
Planets In The 5th And 7th houses
The 5th house rules romance, dating and sexuality. Planets located here, especially Venus or Mars, can indicate a preoccupation with love and sex, sometimes of an unconventional nature. The 7th house governs partnerships, relationships and marriage. Planets in the 7th, or rulers of the 5th and 7th houses in aspect, may lead to attractions that bend social norms. In some cases, this could indicate homosexual interests or tendencies.
Debilitated Planets
When planets like the Sun, Moon or Venus are in signs opposite their signs of exaltation, they become debilitated or weakened. For example, the Sun in Libra or the Moon in Scorpio. Debilitated planets can sometimes indicate difficulty expressing oneself in a socially conventional or accepted manner. This may in some cases point to exploring homosexual desires or relationships as a means of life purpose and self-expression.
Final Words
Looking at your Vedic astrology chart can offer some clues and insights into your sexuality and self-truth. Just remember, nothing is set in stone, and you are in control of living your most authentic life. While certain placements may suggest tendencies, every person’s experience is different.
The most important thing is that you love who you want to love and be who you want to be. Your astrological chart is meant to serve as a guide, not define you. Look within, listen to your heart, and have the courage to accept yourself for who you are. The truth will set you free. ❤️
