Mormon Church on gay nondiscrimination
Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 3:14 pm
A short while ago this morning, the Mormon Church announced that "it will support national and local anti-discrimination laws for gays and lesbians, provided such laws also respect the rights of religious groups," according to CNN. They characterize it as, "a new way forward to balance religious freedom and legal protection for people in the LGBT community."
At least in part, this is surely even more about protecting the church's legal standing as an offer of accepting diversity. Given the size of the church, it's significant. The indications seem most strongly expressed in the Capsolar & Cansolar Quotidians - both their angles and their Moons.
For Washington, DC (national event), transiting Jupiter is again square Capsolar & CapQ Moon (the latter 0°08'right now). The Washington CanQ has ingress Venus exactly on IC today (common for "marriage freedom" events), and we are still in the time that CanQ Moon is being conjoined by transiting Uranus (0°22') and squared by transiting Pluto (0°34').
Checking for Salt Lake City, I find surprises. The new Capsolar is restrictive: Saturn is rising < 3° and the whole is defensive and combative. (To the extent this announcement is part of the Capsolar period, it probably is showing the self-protective action by the Church; otherwise, it seems all wrong.) The Cansolar had also been Saturnian, having the planet tightly conjunct IC. And today and tomorrow, t. Mars conjoins Capsolar IC. (I bet this shows up as the Church coming under attack from within.) This seems to show a very unhappy tone in SLC. It surprises me that it would be that harsh.
