I'm all for everyone manifesting their masculine and feminine in their own way. I know I enjoy spending time doing yardwork, sometimes being the "breadwinner", making repairs or whatever. And sometimes I just want to spritz on some perfume and eat bonbons and paint my nails all day.

And one day you are going to grow old, fat and ugly, and have four hungry kids that need to be fed, and one that needs diapers changed, and your wife is out with her girlfriends, and guess what? ***You just discovered that you don't know how to cook and Chef Boyardee is out to lunch as well***

And the house stinks with a kid walking around with a smooshed up diaper but you don't know how to change and wipe the bum. You also don't know why the kid has no more pants as you discover the laundry in the basement piled sky high. ***But you don't even know how to place clothes into a white metal box and turn a knob because you've never done it before***

And guess what? That football game on TV is interrupted because the Cable TV bill was never paid and you got disconnected because ***you've never done the household bills before***

Then you lose your job because your company isn't doing well and has to lay you off. Just at about the same time, your Johnson stops working and the radical spurts in the bedroom have stopped because ***you never made that shopping trip to the store before to pick up soap, shampoo or razors.***

Then you discover your wife was on LindaLand forums consulting AstroGuru about Synastry with that hot guy down the street that cooks for her, washes her hair and does her manicures.

I consider myself both masculine and feminine and I think I blend the two very well. Since my feminine side is flavored with Scorpio, I've never seen anything 'weak' about it. I think there's a lot of power there: to feel so deeply, to be intuitive and insightful when others aren't, and to be really sensual (which I've always really associated with femininity). I have no problem expressing or being in touch with all of that.

But I also really love being in touch with my masculinity, too. I'm not a 'macho' guy by any means, but I do pride myself on being courageous, proud, honorable, strong-minded, hardworking, etc. My masculine side is my Leo Sun, so I think I take plenty of pride in being male, especially as I mature and really become a man.

I'm attracted to both sexes but I've never been into overly feminine men. I like for him to be in touch with his feminine side. But I don't want it to overwhelm his personality. I still want him to be noticeably male in his expression. Not in a stereotypical way but I just find masculine strength and energy very attractive.

One of the observation modes you can employ is this:

Go to the bathroom but ask your bf to carry your purse, assuming that its a tote with a sling or a handbag.

Most men will oblige with carry the bag with arms extended by the handle. Some jacka$$es would leave the bag on the floor. Some may even walk away from it for fear of losing macho-ness.

I prefer to sling the handbag. When questioned, the answer is: no, I'm not effeminate. It's just a practical way of carrying a bag. It lifts the bag off the floor and it is an efficient way of distributing weight.

I've seen men practically dragging heavy totes on the ground while walking just so they don't look "gay," especially men under 5 foot 8 inches and with long arms.

I don't care what anyone says, and whether any woman laughs at me, but the wise man in me says that Louis Vuitton or Gucci or Hermes and the dirty floor don't mix. Imagine the underside of a white canvas bag if you dragged it across pavement in public.

The man who protects and cherishes your purse would most likely protect and cherish you.

If a man allows you out in public with scuffed leather shoes without first shining them (especially if they have been NSFed and militarized) are either (1) lazy (2) inconsiderate or (3) doesn't care about you. The man who wants to show you off at your best honours you the most. No man should be too big to voluntarily iron your clothes if crinkled before you go out (especially if he has been militarized).

The man who thrives on looking better than you all the time while strutting like a peacock is focused only on himself, and you would have you serve him most of the time.

Masculinity doesn't come from watching football, beer drinking, belching or passing wind. Those men are wussies. Real men can run households by themselves and still protect the homefront.

Oh of course not. That's not how I measure masculinity at all. I'm not even that kind of guy myself. I think it's just a kind of strength, power, confidence. The kind of confidence it takes to do the things you do.

Moon in Cancer is in DOMICILE. Moon in Scorpio is in FALL. Moon in Capricorn is the one in DETRIMENT. Moon in Taurus is the one EXALTED.

Granted I'm not terribly representative of cancer moons because that nasty malefic saturn is in detriment and retrograde although it is in the sixth house.

When I find myself in lalala land, my Saturn-Moon opposition brings me back to Earth. Honestly, I really think that my Sun-Mercury squares to the Moon, and the Saturn opposition greatly help my motivation/success. One of my favorite qualities about myself, is that I don't give up on myself and have strong motivation/determination.

I am very sensitive, empathetic, and love the arts. I quickly pick up vibes/energies about people and places, which sometimes overwhelms me. As a dominate Fire/Water person, I love being around people and learning new things, but also ensure that my home is my haven, my personal space to purify my soul and recharge. I also feel very at peace in nature, especially around water.

I'm away from home 14 hours a day. When I get home at night, I do household chores. I don't sit my fat ass in front of the boob tube and veg out for Monday Night Football or WWF or whatever. Stuff needs to be done at home. Kids need to be fed, homework needs to be checked, trash needs taking out, laundry needs to be done and folded, bills need to be paid, dog needs to sh1t, wife needs to be serviced, sometimes twice, three times, etc. Then the complaints begin: sh1t ran out, sh1t is busted, sh1t needs batteries, feel like sh1t, look like sh1t, sh1thead has new sh1t that I don't have, her sh1t is better than my sh1t, go get me sh1t from the pharmacy, the kids need that sh1t for school from the supermarket, get your a$$ there now, etc.

You're dreaming if you think you can just home from work and you've done your share of the work!

In my eyes, there are no feminine tasks. I can do many household tasks as well as most women and some moderately well. The one thing I cannot do is breast feed.

My dream job is to stay at home and take care of my family. I envy stay at home moms and aspire to be a stay at home grandpa.

The one thing I won't ever do as a stay at home is drive a minivan. I hope the soccer girls like faster Porsches and Aston Martins. That much I'm not feminine.
