Assuming by your query that you are female. I wish I knew in what context you were told that the so-called "imbalance" might be a problem. What has been your personal experience when it comes to this topic? Are you relatively new to astrology? I ask in order to know if you've researched this enough to know whether or not any challenges you have are definately due to this.

There are other things to look at if you were to investigate gender balance in your chart.
For instance, if your feminine/masculine planet is in a masculine/feminine sign, what house does it occupy? The chart is divided into four parts, the angles, each angle is responsible of certain type of energy (internal, external) as some would classify these energies typically into masculine or feminine, also is your planet exalted, dignified or in detriment? On top of this, you need to examine the aspects your planets are making? You could have a voluptuosly feminine planet (Venus) diginified in Taurus but it is opposing Uranus, it loses some of its femininity -- as the mainstream definition of femininity goes or if it is opposite Pluto for example, it makes the expression of its femininity dark and even downright aggressive? You see? It is very complex, yet interesting!

From your signature, I can see you have Venus dignified in Libra, Venus conjunct Mars gives sex appeal and is attractive to both sexes actually (very true) and Venus conjunct Moon gives charm, Mars in Libra is in detriment, it loses its masculine energy. Uranus and Pluto are there as well, not sure how wide/tight the orb is.

So, one way to help you is to have you post your birth data here, and there are a lot of very nice people who could assist you in answering some of the questions you have and get you started on astrology.

while i've only considered my sun sign for astrological interpretation, i lately have looked to my ascendant and other planets for additional insight. having a concentration in Libra puts my relationships on a mental level, which poses issues of its own.

i'm somewhat new to the more esoteric aspects of astrology, but have been casually studying for many years, but at a superficial level until fairly recently. and i'm not female, btw.

i have no particular reason to pin my relationship difficulty on gender imbalance; the chart and explanation thereof (given by the program) mentioned this, and i have a wish to investigate this further.

Neptune's Muse, thank you for your contribution to this topic and for your insight, and for your warm welcome. i was tempted to appeal to the community for help interpreting my chart, but felt that would be premature as i am so new to the group; i see that i was in error.

Some of the most beautiful women I've seen are of a Feminine Sign, but have a very tomboyish quality in there gestures. It's not always so obvious, but I notice it a LOT in Virgo and Pisces women.

These mixes makes me believe that they may be able to relate to both sexes easier.
