Astrology, Gender, and Sexuality:
Contemporary Debates
This book was born out of a desire for astrology to contribute to the current discussion around gender and sexuality. It aims to explore the feminine and the masculine, gender identities, and diversity by analyzing astrological elements such as Lilith, Venus, Mars, asteroids, the ascendant, and synastry.
Each author addresses relevant and timely topics through the lens of astrology, fostering innovative reflections. The book was published only in Portuguese in 2023.
Authors: Ana Maria Costa Ribeiro, Clarissa De Franco (ed.), Cristiane Bernardes, Fernando Guimarães, Kim Bins, Luiz A. Vasconcelos, Maristela Reis Souza (ed.), Titi Vidal.
"In her chapter, astrologer Kim Bins presents a practical perspective on the paradigm shift in chart interpretation by highlighting feminine focal points that are often left out of traditional astrological readings. Her chapter, “Lilith: A Symbol of Female Sexual Liberation,” invites the reader to a deeper exploration of Lilith, the Alchemical Venus, and the Divine Feminine as pathways to a complete and liberating expression of the feminine.”
Clarissa De Franco and Maristela Reis Souza (eds.)
The book is available free of charge in digital format (Portuguese only).
