as always, some compelling content from the queen of Indian newspapers. The Prince of Rajpipla comes out of the almaari, and astrologers that can tell gays from lesbians.
SURAT: Can the position of stars and planets pinpoint someone’s sexual orientation? Prince Manevendra Singh Gohil, whose recent proclamation of being gay left many aghast in the quaint town of Rajpipla, seems to believe it can.
“It was already there in my kundli. A senior astrologer from Canada had suggested that I should not marry as the stars and planets indicated that I was gay,” he said.
Trijayanand, an astrologer who counselled Manevendra against marriage, says: “The planetary positions in the fifth and the eleventh house generally give a good indication of a person being gay, lesbian or even a bi-sexual.
For instance, Mars in Tula rashi and Venus in Vrishchik rashi is also a marked indication.” In a new trend of sorts, gay activists have engaged astrologers to prove that the position of stars in astrology, which is relied upon before marriage, can suggest or predict a person’s sexual orientation during their adolescence.
