True.

Pisces is just receptive. It's not really exuding anything, more like intaking and responding to a broader range of cues.

Had to edit this and maybe I'm still wrong.

Bingo. Yeah, Cancers know and consciously project their feminine energy, whereas Pisces is feminine due to the ultra-receptiveness.

There are plenty different types of femininity. I assume you mean the traditional one here. IMO girls who have personal planets in feminine signs which also have feminine rulers (the double 'yin' influence) - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Pisces - to be especially comfortable with traditional femininity. They instinctively adopt conventional gender roles and are happy with them. Regardless of how talented/smart/independent they can be. i.e., it's their natural way of expressing femininity to abide by such roles.

For instance, Virgo stellium Blake Lively wants to be, and enjoys being a homemaker.

Now I dare you to tell a double Aries girl, however pretty she dresses, to 'go make me a sandwich'. Note: please wear padding.

Well said, Faith. Never thought about it like this but it does make a lot of sense!

I highly disagree with this statement although there is some truth to it. I believe that gender roles are as much of an evolutionary thing as much as they are social constructs. I believe women should be treated as equals to men, but at the same time, women have a responsibility to their husbands and children that most people these days forget about.

-----

Anyway, in response to this thread, I believe Pisces is the most feminine sign, followed by Cancer, then Virgo, then Taurus, then Libra (although technically masculine). From my own experience, my friends that have these influences have been the most feminine, it's actually so calming.

For aspects, Moon-Venus would be an indicator, especially the softer aspects. I would also count Moon-Neptune or Venus-Neptune.

I'm not sure if house placements for planets would indicate femininity, but I'm assuming personal planets in water houses might make someone appear more feminine even though their planets are in masculine signs.

Four planets in libra, in the eighth house, this includes the moon.

moon sextile neptune.

Venus square Neptune.

P.S. That is not to say other signs cannot fit into those roles, it just may not be as comfortable for them to do so. Their ways of expressing femininity do not necessarily include these things.

I actually agree with this statement.

I have a Virgo stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus, a bunch of points and asteroids) as well as a fourth house Moon and Mars. There's plenty of neutral or masculine indicators in my chart but I've always preferred the more traditional role. I even picked a nurturing and caring profession. Ultimately though, I would like to be a homemaker, take care of the kids, etc.

Darnit, I made the the mistake of making a flat statement to a bunch of Librans in the audience. Forgot the "on the other hand.." part of that sentence.

I wasn't at all raised in a household that forced this role. My mother was an equal breadwinner for a very long time (Aries Moon, Leo Mars) but she also stayed at home with her kids for as long as she could (Cancer ASC, 6th house Sun). In fact, I think my parents pretty much assumed that I would become a top-notch career woman. I have goals for my career, such as to have regular hours and attain a level of autonomy, but it's not the end-all be-all. When the opportunity presents itself, I will be a homemaker and focus on raising the children, and taking care of the home. It's a natural role for me, something I feel very comfortable and happy doing.
