Thoughts as Uranus Enters Aries, Part 2: Finally, It's OK to be Gay

On May 27, the same day Uranus entered Aries, the House of Representatives voted to repeal the ban on gays in the military. The 'don't ask, don't tell' law can be seen in several ways here.  One, it is an issue of self-expression (Aries) affecting a wider community (Aquarius/Uranus). Two, though there is much speculation over a chart signifier for homosexuality, astrologers usually land on Uranus-Venus aspects to define it. Though not exact, Venus was close to a square with Uranus around this time. Thus, as Uranus (homosexual) enters Aries (military) while aspected by Venus (love and values) and nearly conjunct Jupiter (law), we have legislation allowing gays to serve openly in our Armed Services.  Right on, Congress!

Interestingly, astrologer Neil Paris, quoted by Lynn Hayes, explored new legislation on gay issues as a possibility of a Jupiter-Uranus square in 2007:

I love that this could be a sign of things to come. I feel that it is so important to channel these potentially volatile energies in a positive way, and Congress' bold move toward equality in our military is a heartening use of this energy.
