"Roe, the founder of Queerstrology, tells PinkNews she began to focus on astrology about four years ago, when she realised "nobody was taking the gender identity out of astrology". Instead of using "masculine" and "feminine" signs and planets, Roe takes gender binary out of astrology, focusing on energy. The Arizona-based queerstrologer, who uses she/they pronouns, is popular on TikTok, where she has 95,000 followers. She shares the zodiac signs of queer legends and what they reveal about their lives and about them as people."
"According to Roe's research, Aries is the sign with the most energy. Her studies have found that there is a 49 per cent chance of an Aries being queer. "If you are an Aries, you're most likely to take quick action and fight ferociously for other members of the LGBTQ+ community," Roe says. Elton John, who recently addressed parliament about fully eradicating HIV by 2030, is an Aries."
"If you're a Taurus, you are probably known for your stoic attitude. There's a 36 per cent chance of anyone born under this sign being queer, according to Roe. "Due to knowing the value of being true to themselves, they can withstand a lot of backlash from others about their life choices," the astrologer says. Sam Smith, who came out as non-binary in 2019, is a true Taurus, "who in coming out cast aside the ideals of society, despite constant backlash", she adds."
Astrology is presented as a pseudoscience offering observations about life. An energy-focused, non-binary approach to astrology removes masculine and feminine labels and interprets zodiac signs through energetic qualities. Statistical associations link certain signs to higher likelihoods of queer identity: Aries is associated with high energy, quick action, fierce advocacy, and a cited 49 percent chance of being queer; Taurus is associated with stoicism, commitment to authenticity, resilience to backlash, and a cited 36 percent chance. Public queer figures are connected to signs to illustrate patterns, with Elton John cited as Aries and Sam Smith cited as Taurus.
