Singapore Bans Books About Gay Families




One of the books, the multi-award winning And Tango Makes Three, recounts the real life-inspired story of two male penguins raising a baby chick at New York's Central Park Zoo. The Singapore government has ordered the National Library Board (NLB) to remove from library shelves and destroy three children’s books that portray gay, lesbian or unconventional families.

Shown here is the chart for the Full Moon  of July 12 at Singapore. By the rules of mundane astrology it is very significant for Singapore since it is placed on the horizon axis. Conjunct the Ascendant [23cp] and the Moon [20cp] is delta Aquilae in the Eagle’s south wing – an area linked to Antinous. 
In the image above the Eagle is carrying Antinous away. Antinous was a Bithynian Greek youth and a favourite of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Since ancient times, the Eagle has been associated with emperors, military rulers and tyrants. The name Antinous became associated with homosexuality in Western culture, appearing in the work of Oscar Wilde and Fernando Pessoa.

Also the Sun [20cn03]  is conjunct the star Castor [20cn26] of the Twins.




The identical brothers were inseparable, and had a deep affection for one another, for which reason they were often worshipped as gods of homosexuality. [1]






In mundane astrology, the fifth house is related to children. With Taurus on the 5th cusp, the ruler is Venus. Conjunct Venus [22ge] is the star Capella [22ge], alpha Aurigae,  the mother goat in the arms of Charioteer depicted with two baby goats following her. This is a star that is about parenting or nurturing and bringing up children. With a sharp quincunx aspect to the Ascendant and the Full Moon which lie amidst the stars of Aquila and Antinous mentioned above is it all surprising that a hue and cry is being raised about a children’s book that carries the story of the two male penguins raising a baby chick?
