In addition to having a wonderful conversation with @kiraryberg.bsky.social and @psychicnonna.bsky.social for Threads of Fate, I also wrote a blog post about James Baldwin who was born with Mars conjunct Fomalhaut!

Some off the cuff remarks on the Sun in Capricorn III. Based on an article I wrote for the @astrocoop.bsky.social last year. How will we use our capacity to see and make sense of the systems that manufacture scarcity and security? What is possible here?
Oh you mean my birthday? Hahaha 🤪
Next meeting is tomorrow Saturday, Nov 22 at 1:30 pm ET! This group has been so nourishing and generative the last few months. I hope you’ll join us. Sliding scale tix below!

Check out that 1st house!
You know where to find it all, and there’s still time to become a patron if you want access to bonus content plus the warm fuzzy feeling you get knowing that you’re making queer Astro history possible.
Xoxo
We talk about planets in domicile and what that means for Mapplethorpe’s relentlessness pursuit of his art!
Plus for the first time ever, patrons of Star Gays are getting their own exclusive post with a deep dive into the decans of Scorpio and how that plays out in Mapplethorpe’s life.
His portraits embody an incredible intimacy and depth, showcasing some of the best that Scorpio has to offer. But not to worry, being ruled by Mars meant he also got into some hot water (some deserved, some puritanical).
Cover photo for Star Gays: The QueerAstrology Archives Project, Scorpio: Robert Mapplethorpe. Blue background, with yellow and light blue text. In the center is a self portrait of Mapplethorpe, he is starting directly into the camera and holding a staff that has a skull on it.
Early drawings and collages by Mapplethorpe, featuring religious imagery, renaissance style figures, hearts and skulls. Mostly black and white with some red and yellow
Four black and white portraits of Lisa Lyon (top right), two men in leather/BDSM gear (top left), patti smith (bottom right), iggy pop (bottom left). All four have the subject looking back into the camera
Four self portraits of Mapplethorpe, in one he holds a knife and looks suspicious, in another he has a cigarette in his mouth, the third he’s dressed in makeup and furs, the fourth he’s in a bathrobe. In all four he states back at the camera
New Star Gays just dropped! 🦂🦂🦂🫡🫡🫡
For Scorpio season we’re diving into the chart of maybe the most Scorpio to ever Scorpio: Robert Mapplethorpe.
With his Ascendant, Sun, Mars, and Jupiter all in Scorpio, Mapplethorpe was singularly focused on crafting the perfect portrait.
The only reason someone should change their name (first and last) is because they found a better name that suits them! Marriage is no longer relevant to names. Also, abolish marriage (but like y'all aren't ready for THAT conversation)
A Medieval Islamicate birth chart reading just hits different. Go beyond the Sun/Moon/Rising with skinny legend @trixiemattel.bsky.social

No wayyyyy and not interrupting your hors d’oeuvre search lmao
Let them eat in peace !
They’re really just saying anything?? Lmao at all of this
Also huge shout out and thank you to @ishpimingastro.bsky.social
for the model of sliding scale/group space that I’m using and for their constant encouragement! ✨
Our first meeting was such a wonderful, enthusiastic, thoughtful collection of people. I got so much from it and I’m really looking forward to gathering again. I hope you’ll join us.
Tickets are sliding scale. If you can’t make it live, I’ll email you a recording of any lecturing I do but the intention really is to be there together and share our experiences as a group.
