How would you read C.G.Jung nowadays? Here he correlated the lunar force with the archetypal feminine principle and the solar energy with the masculine principle:

“Woman’s consciousness has a lunar rather than a solar character. Its light in the "mild” light of the moon, which merges things together rather than separates them. It does not show up objects in all their pitiless discreteness and separateness, like the harsh, glaring light of day, but blends in a deceptive shimmer the near and the far, magically transforming little things into big things, high into low, softening all colors into bluish haze, and blending the nocturnal landscape into an unsuspected unity."

“Whereas logic and objectivity are usually the predominant features of a man’s outer attitude, or are at least regarded as ideal, in the case of a woman it is feeling. But in the soul it is the other way around: inwardly it is the man who feels, and the woman who reflects. Hence a man’s greater liability to total despair, while a woman can always find comfort and hope; accordingly a man is more likely to put an end to himself than a woman.”

I feel it's still the same. Opposite poles at work. Yin and Yang.

The difference now is that more people are aware of the need to integrate both principles into more cohesively, but it still happens that men go searching for their anima and women their animus.
