<p>Happy Capricorn Full Moon! </p> <p><br></p> <p>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. </p> <p><br></p> <p>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?</p> <p><br></p> <p>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.</p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Please like, rate, review, and subscribe to Star Gays.

<p>Two episodes for Gemini season? It is the sign of the twins after all! </p> <p><br></p> <p>To celebrate one whole year of Star Gays (and pride!), host Elly Higgins is joined by Jordan and Brook of the gay astro podcast Gemidyke Rising to discuss Dyke TV, a public access television show from the 90s whose motto was to Incite, Subvert, Provoke, and Organize for lesbian visibility and survival. Dyke TV was a variety show about all aspects of lesbian life that grew out of the Lesbian Avengers, with segments like 'Dyke Dish', 'Ann Northrop Mouths Off', and 'I Was A Lesbian Child.'</p> <p>In this episode, Jordan, Brook, and Elly talk about what it was like to watch Dyke TV 30 years later (spoiler: nothing has changed - including the outfits) and then get into Dyke TV's 7th house Gemini Sun, Jupiter in Libra on the MC, and so much more.</p> <p>*The audio for this episode was edited by KJ Jarboe. (Thank you, KJ!)</p> <p>--------------------------------------</p> <p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2LkOFsyf90rACEOF9KMbNI?si=60e899419cee4be3">Gemidyke Rising</a> is a queer astrology pod for the curious and chaotic.
