How unenlightened to just divide the zodiac into the basic, boring binary of feminine and masculine energy, right? That's just how they did it, but not every sign fits so easily into these categories and not every person's gender fits well into the sign that they were born in.
It's more of a sliding scale sort of thing, isn't it?
First of all, when I use the terms masculine or feminine nature, I'm referring to people on the soul level, not their physical bodies. Gender is a spectrum and many people do not identify as one or the other but some place in between or a blend of concepts. For the sake of simplicity, I'm exploring individuals who have one more dominant than the other and how they fit into the masculine or feminine vibrations of their Sun sign.
Aries/Masculine: Masculine fire. Le swoon. For people who have a strong masculine nature, whatever gender they identify with this sign fits like a glove. They are always "on"and in motion. They'd rather act than react. Those born under this sign with a more feminine nature are like a fish out of water, except the fish don't give a damn, then went and grew legs. Everybody else who knows them looks at the juxtaposition and think, "What the actual fuck?" and "I'm so glad you're my friend." If there's someone who will burn cities to the ground for you, it's an Aries.
Taurus/Feminine: Feminine earth. Totally makes sense. For those with a feminine nature, this sign provides the scaffolding needed to build an empire for themselves. They live to surround themselves with all things beautiful, comfortable and comforting. For those with a masculine nature, this self-sustaining energy is stifled considerably. They are hard workers but typically wait until the work finds them, insists on being worked upon and will not go away until it is finished off.
Gemini/Masculine: Masculine air. First slightly odd combo. This combo works way better for people with a feminine nature than it does for those with a masculine one. The signs' MO relates to communication, learning and travel. For those with a more feminine nature, this sign expresses itself in a nature that's light hearted without being heartless. A more masculine nature under this sign comes off as careless or harsh. Even worse, they can appear to be suave to hide this inner lack of caring.
Cancer/Feminine: Feminine water. This sign errs strongly in the favor of people with a feminine nature. Those with a masculine nature in this sign come off kind of weird. They are absolutely lovely people but their almost total rejection of all things traditionally masculine can put some people off. Those with a feminine nature come off as really gentle but strong people who never give up on their vivid dreams.
Leo/Masculine: Masculine fire. Unlike Aries, people who identify as masculine, feminine or anything in between can exist really comfortably and with great panache. The sass is strong with this one and they will pull people into their world with ease. They are natural leaders and their magnetism is magic.
Virgo/Feminine: Feminine Earth. Here's yet another sign where masculine types totally get the shaft. They can get into borderline Pygmalion-level creepiness in their efforts to help people. More feminine types definitely have the edge here. They work tirelessly towards their goals and people greatly admire them for their efforts. Whenever I think of Virgo, I think of an exhausted Nurse at the end of the shift, doggedly moving through the endless to-do list.
Libra/Masculine: Masculine Air. Libras deeeeeeeefinitely go both ways. Libra is all about balance and you need two (or more) things to balance. If I had to pick, despite being a masculine sign, Libra is ruled by Venus and has a slightly feminine cast to it. It's more like a Feminine: 51% Masculine 49% kind of thing though.
Scorpio/Feminine: Feminine Water. This sign is feminine in the most powerful, fierce, snake-eyed sort of way. Hillary Clinton is a Scorpio. Oh yes. Scorpios do not mess around. I'm kind of surprised that Bill is still alive, after that astrological revelation. Like, really surprised. I imagine that he suffers daily. Because he deserves it.
Sagittarius/Masculine: Masculine Fire. On this one, the people with a more masculine energy win out here. BIG TIME. It's not even fair. Once you mix the goofball Sag with feelings, an explosion of awkward that could rival Krakatoa happens...constantly. As a Sag rising sign, this is a constant thing in my life. I can't even imagine the full-blown awkward of being a Sag sun sign who is femme.
Capricorn/Feminine: Feminine Earth. People with feminine natures have a major advantage. People who have a masculine nature can seem overly cold and emotionless even if they feel strongly. This definitely puts them at a major disadvantage in their personal relationships. Unlike their jobs, they can't just throw hard work or money at a relationship and magically make it work.
Aquarius/Masculine: Masculine Air. OMG. Poor feminine-identifying Aquarians. We have so many thoughts and feelings and we just can't even. Truly. we're super expressive, even verbose but we can't wrap our heads around our own feelings. For those with a masculine nature, everything is alarmingly simple. Damn you.
Pisces/Feminine: This is one of the rare ones where someone who is more of a neutral type could clean the hell up. Being too overly masculine or feminine makes things incredibly difficult for the wishy washy, dreamy fish.
