Star Gays: The Queer Astrology Archives Podcast
By Elly Higgins
Star Gays: The Queer Astrology Archives Podcast examines the lives and works of queer artists, activists, and thinkers through the lens of their astrological birth chart. Each episode focuses on one individual from the archives and overlays their natal chart on their biography to draw connections between their life experiences and astrological influences. Join astrologer Elly Higgins each month to develop a deeper relationship with astrology and with a long lineage of queers who are making sense of their worlds through creative and analytical practices.
