The Astrology of the X-Men

from Heavenly Bodies: A Trip Through the Cosmos with David Odyessey · host Pride House Media

For queers the world over, few texts hit quite as hard as the X-Men. It could be because of the queer metaphors, gender fluidity, operatic melodrama, or byzantine plots. Or it’s the fact that mutant men happen to be stacked (and insatiably curious), and their lady counterparts are fearsome and chic. I’ve wanted to talk about this for so long! I break down the romances and real ones of the X-Men through the lens of astrology. What are the signs of Jean Grey and her counterpoint Emma Frost? How does Mystique’s devotion to Destiny explain compatibility in astrology? And could it be possible that Storm and Magneto are peas in an astrological pod? This one goes out to all X-fans, with or without deep astrological knowledge, and to queer cosmic geeks who might be a little X-curious. And friends, I’m dying to know how you read the charts of Polaris, Forge, Havok, and all your favorite hot-blooded mutant powerhouses. Welcome to Heavenly Bodies. I hope you survive the experience!Write to me at [email protected] To book a reading with, go to DavidOdyssey.com and Davidodyssey.substack.com
