On Astrology and Queerness: Ocean Vuong

Just started “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous” and Ocean Vuong’s Scorpio Moon is so loud!!

I feel like I’ve noticed it ever since I read “Time Is A Mother”. He has a thing for really violent imagery to convey emotions. This man must be a Cancer rising because it’s too strong!

This is from “The Bull” and this is one of my favorite lines in the whole book. This whole poem to me was about his relationship with queerness and other boys. As you can see it’s quite intense!

Speaking of queerness he gave a speech talking about queer folk that I think really highlighted his Scorpio Moon “For queer folk failure becomes a necessary practice towards success” I feel this make sense why the ancients say a detriment Moon or Venus can indicate queerness.

Moon and Venus are the two reproductive planets. He has both a Virgo Venus and Scorpio Moon. I find that queer people have to work a lot harder to find what works for them. As that knowledge is really not provided to them in this world. This quote truly exemplifies this fact A planet in detriment has no resources for the planet to function properly. So naturally this would cause a person with these placements to struggle with the themes of the planet and might go through a trial and error period to find what works for them.

Obviously these are not the end all be all placement for queerness (I’m queer and have none of these placements) but I felt it was interesting to look at!!
