Introduction of a Chinese society

China has a large and diverse LGBTQ+ population, although many people may choose not to openly disclose their sexual orientation or relationship status because of family expectations, social pressure, privacy concerns, or fear of embarrassment. Same-sex relationships do exist within mainland China, but the degree to which individuals discuss or publicly disclose them can vary considerably.

This article presents an astrological case study involving a young woman who approached Relationship Counselor and Astrologer Siddhartha Goell seeking guidance about her romantic life and same-sex attraction.

The purpose of this case study is to examine the astrological combinations that, according to the author’s interpretive framework, are associated with unconventional relationships and attraction toward women. It is presented for students and enthusiasts of Vedic astrology as a subject for research and discussion rather than as a scientific method of determining sexual orientation.

The Chinese Client’s Questions

The young woman approached the counselor with two principal questions.

1. Possibility of Reconnecting With a Former Female Partner

She had previously been in an intimate relationship with another woman. The relationship continued for some time before circumstances caused her to move to another city.

She continued to miss her former partner and wanted to know:

– Could the relationship be re-established?

– Was there a possibility of reconnecting with her former female partner?

– If reconciliation was unlikely, was another woman likely to enter her life in the near future?

2. Marriage to a Man and the Possibility of an Open Marriage

Her second concern involved a hypothetical situation in which social or family circumstances might eventually require her to marry a man.

She wanted to know whether, in such a situation, she could potentially have an understanding with her future husband that allows her to maintain relationships with other women.

The astrological analysis was therefore focused not only on romantic relationships but also on the interaction between personal desires, unconventional relationships, marriage, social expectations, secrecy and individual freedom.

Astrological Analysis for Same Sex Intimacy

The following observations are based on the Rashi chart and Navamsha chart described in this case.

1. Cancer Ascendant and Cancer Moon

Both the Ascendant and Moon are positioned in Cancer.

Cancer is a watery sign associated with emotions, sensitivity, imagination, attachment and a strong inner emotional world.

The Moon’s nakshatra lord is Mercury, which has lordship over the third and twelfth houses in this chart.

The twelfth house is traditionally associated with privacy, bedroom relations and experiences that remain away from public visibility. Therefore, according to this interpretation, the connection between the Moon, Mercury and the twelfth-house significations can cause considerable mental attention toward private emotional and romantic experiences.

The watery nature of Cancer may also contribute to a highly imaginative emotional life.

2. Mercury–Mars Sign Exchange

A significant feature of the chart is the sign exchange between Mercury and Mars.

Mars occupies the third house, which can represent courage, initiative, personal effort and the expression of one’s desires.

Mars also aspects Venus, the principal significator of love, attraction, romance and relationships.

Mars further aspects Saturn, which has lordship connected with the seventh and eighth houses in this chart.

This creates an important network involving:

Mars → Mercury → Venus → Saturn → Relationship houses i.e. Third, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth

In a female horoscope, Mars is also traditionally given importance when examining the expression of passion and sexual desire.

Thus, in this particular astrological interpretation, Mars becomes an important driver behind the individual’s romantic and intimate impulses.

3. Retrograde Mercury in Scorpio in the Fifth House

Mercury occupies the fifth house, the house traditionally associated with romance, attraction, emotional expression, planning and affairs of the heart.

Mercury is retrograde and placed in Scorpio.

Scorpio is traditionally associated with secrecy, depth, psychological intensity and matters that may remain hidden from public view.

The combination of a retrograde Mercury with Scorpio and the fifth house is interpreted in this case as producing considerable mental preoccupation with private romantic experiences and unconventional relationships.

Rather than simply experiencing attraction, the native may repeatedly analyze, revisit and strategize about her emotional and romantic desires.

This becomes particularly significant when Mercury is connected with the twelfth-house themes mentioned earlier.

4. Venus and the Eighth-House Connection

Venus represents love, attraction, affection, romance and relationship pleasure.

In this horoscope, Venus is placed in the sign of Jupiter, while Jupiter itself is positioned in the eighth house and is influenced by the Rahu–Ketu axis.

Consequently, Venus becomes connected indirectly with eighth-house themes.

The eighth house is traditionally associated with secrecy, hidden intimate relationship matters, psychological transformation and relationships that may not always be openly discussed.

From the author’s astrological perspective, this Venus–eighth-house connection contributes to the possibility of relationships being maintained privately rather than publicly.

5. Jupiter and Social Conventions

Jupiter has lordship over the ninth house in this horoscope.

The ninth house is traditionally associated with:

– Social and philosophical principles

– Beliefs

– Morality

– Traditional systems

– Guidance and established norms of society

Jupiter, however, has moved to the eighth house, which is twelfth from the ninth house.

This creates a significant interpretive theme: the planet representing established principles becomes connected with the house of secrecy, transformation and unconventional experiences.

The author’s interpretation is therefore that the native may not always find conventional social expectations sufficient for expressing her personal desires.

6. Saturn as the Depositor of Jupiter

Jupiter’s depositor is Saturn, which is placed in the sign of Mars and is retrograde.

Saturn aspects the:

– Fourth house

– Seventh house

– Twelfth house

Its retrograde condition also creates additional connections with Mars and other relevant houses.

This creates another chain connecting Saturn, Mars, Venus and the relationship houses.

The seventh house represents marriage and committed partnership, while the twelfth house represents privacy and intimate life.

Therefore, the chart creates an interesting tension between:

Marriage and social commitment — Seventh House

and

Private desires and intimate experiences — Twelfth House

This tension becomes one of the central themes of the horoscope.

The Overall Pattern of Horoscope

When the various planetary relationships are considered together, the following planets become particularly important:

Mars + Venus + Mercury + Saturn + Rahu

along with the:

Third + Fifth + Seventh + Eighth + Eleventh + Twelfth Houses

According to the interpretive framework used in this case study, these connections indicate a strong possibility of unconventional romantic experiences and relationships that may initially be kept private.

The important point is not one isolated planetary placement. Rather, the interpretation arises from the repetition and interconnection of several planetary and house significations.

Navamsha Analysis: Repetition of the Pattern

The Navamsha provides an additional layer of analysis in Vedic astrology, particularly when examining the deeper strength and expression of planetary combinations.

In this case, an important repetition appears in the Navamsha.

Saturn, Mars and Venus in the Third House

Saturn, Mars and Venus are associated in the third house of the Navamsha, along with Rahu.

This repetition is significant from the perspective of the author’s interpretive methodology.

The third house represents:

– Initiative

– Courage

– Personal effort

– Communication

– Taking action

– Pursuing one’s desires

Therefore, when Venus, Mars and Saturn become strongly connected with the third house, the native may be more inclined to take personal initiative regarding relationships rather than simply waiting for circumstances to determine her romantic life.

The rise of eighth sign of Rashi Chart in navamsha tells about one’ secret engagement in matter related to personal relationship. Here rising sign is Aquarius

Rahu Influencer of Homosexuality

Rahu is traditionally associated with unconventionality, experimentation, breaking established boundaries and experiences outside conventional social expectations.

Its association with Venus and Mars can intensify themes of attraction and desire.

When Rahu becomes connected with Venus, relationships may become less conventional. When Mars is simultaneously involved, the native may actively pursue experiences that differ from traditional expectations.

In this particular case study, the additional involvement of Saturn and the third house strengthens the author’s interpretation of a tendency toward unconventional romantic relationships.

Lesbian Yoga in Astrology

The combination discussed here is an attempt to identify combinations associated with same-sex attraction or unconventional sexuality.

For astrology students, the more useful approach may be to study the repeated connections between:

Venus — Mars — Rahu — Saturn — Mercury

and the:

3rd — 5th — 7th — 8th — 11th — 12th houses

and then compare these patterns with other charts.

The objective should be to determine whether similar combinations repeatedly appear in independently studied cases.
