Then there are those which comment on the future, by way of looking at the past, like Jacob Tobia’s harrowing tale of navigating the gay world as a genderqueer person, Jim Parsons’ honoring of the AIDS epidemic, or Tom Capelonga’s survey of queer pop culture in the Twentieth Century. When we take time to look at ourselves and our past, we start to pay attention to what the patterns of our life are telling us. But learning about yourself “is not the same as leading a meaningful life,” reminds astrologer Chani Nicholas. “It’s a portal into something that, if worked with, meditated on, leads to everything else.” We owe ourselves the time to evaluate the space we take up. That awareness gives us reason. It guides us forward, into everything that follows

Much of our obsession with astrology, our obsession with projections about
the future, has to do with our anxiety about the present. The state of our
world has queer and marginalized people uneasy. But it’s in times like these
that the future doesn’t make us anxious, but instead excited to take control of
manifesting the world we want to live in. Many of the themes in this issue are
a projection of a better queer future: Olly Alexander’s tech-obsessed artistic
practice or the visionary outlook on the modeling industry of New
Pandemics.
