The percentage of Russians who are positive about
the law banning the propaganda of homosexuality is increasing and is now 77%
against 67% in 2013, Levada Center told Interfax. Fifteen percent of the
respondents do not support this law and 7% said they are not interested, a poll
surveying 800 people conducted in 46 regions of Russia shows. Over half of the respondents said they see this law
aims to protect morals (67% against 60% in 2013), while 14% believe it aims to
distract public attention from other problems and 7% believe it is aimed at
fanning feud. Russian Insider; May 21 http://russia-insider.com/en/over-80-russians-against-same-sex-marriages/ri7110
In the
previous post [1] on Ireland’s referendum on same sex marriages we saw how the
elements in the chart for the Crescent Moon were linked to the issue. Here is
the same chart drawn for Moscow, Russia. Notice that Saturn in Sagittarius on
the Ascendant opposes Mars and the
asteroid Sappho on the descendant. The asteroid Sappho is associated with
same-sex relationships[2] but here with Saturn on the Ascendant (the people of a country)
are ready to restrict the exploratory nature of Sagittarius. With this
placement rigid thinking and backward
facing belief systems can reinforce dogma and prejudice. Fear (Saturn) of the
future (Sagittarius) serves the anachronistic agendas of fundamentalists of all
stripes.
