La homosexualidad y las conductas sexuales pervertidas desde la perspectiva de la astrología antigua

Abstract

In this paper, after explaining main theoretical first notions of ancient astrology, we analyse the astral conjunctions supposedly favouring human homosexuality and other sexual perverted conducts as appeared in Manilius, Ptolemy, and Firmicus Maternus. As conclusion, we notice that, when the astrologer predicts in this field, he operates as a true moralist and censor, specially Firmicus Maternus. That shows the changes produced in the sexual morality during Roman Empire, by which is condemned every excessive, unnatural or non─reproductive sexual behaviour.
