Gender and Astrology: A Study on Astrologer’s Ideas on Gender and How They Are Reflected in Their Interpretation of the Sun and the Moon

This paper examines the interpretation of the Sun and the Moon in astrology. It explores whether astrology expresses socially shared ideas on gender. Some astrologers claim that astrology is not gender-biased, but others believe it is. This study examines the perspectives of practising astrologers on gender concerning the astrological nature of the Sun and the Moon. It concludes that astrological interpretations of the masculine and feminine binary are not clear-cut for all astrologers. Analysis of gendered ideas in astrology must allow some margin for astrologers’ interpretation of gendered ideas more broadly.
