Cancer: The Stonewall Rebellion's Astrology
On the eve before a full moon in Capricorn in 1969, the Stonewall Rebellion began in Greenwich Village, NY. Now arguably the most famous moment in queer history, Stonewall would spark major changes for the queer community.
This Cancer season episode gets into what happened on the night of June 28th, what are the different stories around Stonewall that get told, and what in the astrology can help us understand the myth and importance of Stonewall as the birth of the gay liberation (or gay rights) movement?
This episode only scratches the surface of the astrology of Stonewall but gets into Stonewall's Aries Rising, Mars retrograde as the ascendant ruler and how outer planetary shifts could be the key in understanding why Stonewall became so important.
