Among homosexual males the leading charts containing significators are the 1st, 5th, and 7th. charts. The 5th and 7th are obvious--they are the charts specifically relating to sexuality and close relationships, respectively.

The 1st chart is less obvious, but applies to individuals who discovered their sexual preferences while still basically children (1st chart).

But significators are not limited to these three charts. Indeed, they can occur in any chart. When they do, it is because the individual's consciousness is basically centered in that chart. Such charts are called "center of gravity" charts, abbreviated COGs. When that occurs, it always makes sense as a center of gravity chart for that individual (assuming biographical information is available).
There are some restrictions, however, in acceptable combinations of first and second part significators and the charts they occur in:

*Second parts of significators must occur in either the COG or the 5th or 7th chart (either of which can also be the COG).
*If you find a second part of the significator in any chart other than the 5th or 7th and that chart lacks the first part of the significator, then the second part doesn't count.
*The only time the second part can be found in other than the 5th or 7th chart is when that chart is a COG, and it cannot be a COG unless it contains the first part of the significator. If it does, then it usually also contains the second part, but it does not absolutely have to because second parts from 5th and 7th charts are always valid second parts.

INDIVIDUALS WITH HOMOSEXUAL SIGNIFICATORS IN THE 1ST CHART OF IDENTITY ESTABLISHED DURING CHILDHOOD

The 1st chart is the chart which describes our identity and its somatic consequences formed in childhood. Allergies and asthma are two somatic examples. It tells of our self-identity, that is, who we are independent of others. Who we are with others shows in our 7th chart.

We naturally pass through the consciousness of the 1st chart. It is not that it dies as a form of consciousness after we grow up. Unless there are certain health problems involving the 1st, its consciousness falls into the background as the foundation, for good or ill, of our identity.

Other things bring 1st consciousness forward. Long-term isolation can drive one into the consciousness of the 1st chart. Astrology which primarily traps us in our childhood, for instance, weak ego development, also keeps our consciousness in our 1st chart. So do some events which push us back on ourselves. Finally, a particularly idyllic childhood (see paper on Osho: Osho, as the superior marker of one’s existence, can also at least partially locate one’s consciousness in the 1st.

There is much yet to be learned about the 1st chart. I, myself, was somewhat surprised it contained significators for homosexuality. But, then, some males discover their homosexual identity when they are still not much more than children So it should not have been such a surprise.
The youngest individual in this paper who understood he was homosexual stated “I always knew.” As we will see, “always knew” falls into a different chart (at least for this individual, see end of paper) than even the 1st.

After “always knew” comes a definite revelation in time—one boy who knew he was homosexual by the time he was nine years old. Another who knew by the time he was eleven years old. Their homosexuality shows best in their 1st charts. Their progressions in that chart for date of revelation support it being the definitive chart identifying their homosexuality."
