I just feel like people get caught up with masculine= "man" /"strong" and feminine="woman"/"weak" narrative.But its not even about gender in the way we understand it.Its about energy

I consider both masculine and feminine energy to be concerned about the self and are self centred in both respects.

The stark difference being that masculine energy is more about mantaining the self outside of others i.e "I am because I am" energy. To "lose" that and become indistinguishable from others scares them.

It is more about coming into an environment and not ever losing that sense of separateness & individuality.It is energy that doesn't sustain the "we" principle for long. It wants to act unilaterally. This unless the "we" serves the agenda of the self effectively.

Libra energy is masculine to me because it prescribes to this. It wants to serve the agenda of the self but typically disguising its intentions under politeness "we" in order to avoid resistance from others....ehem.. Margaret Thatcher.

Feminine energy is inclusive "We are and therefore I am" energy, it is more reflective and recognises the necessity and dependency on others in order for the "self" to be.

The self here may seek to control,influence or "guide" others in some way significant.And through this relationship, the self is reflected and balance is maintained etc.

Capricorn is feminine energy to me and is seeking to control,guide or influence others in some way significant in the longer term.

It wouldn't be motivated to climb mountains without the accolades and praise from others for instance. People think that its Leo energy that likes this but its the motivation inherent in Saturnine Cap that is preoccupied with being "seen" to achieve or "seen" to lead etc. otherwise what's the point?

Masculine says "I want to be a leader" and feminine responds with "I want to lead others." And this is not necessarily the same thing .

The latter is more about the self being reflected through taking initiatives with others and the former is the self coming into awareness of the self regardless of others being there.

Yes Pullen on astro.com

I also looked at astro-chart and astro-seek to fuse it all together.

I think also on sone level one must know oneself and not rely too much on computer generated software opinion of who they are.

Are you more cooperative than independent? Neither is "good" or "bad". It just is. Look at your own chart and subsequent arrangement.Which is true for you?

My friend for instance has dominant masculine energy by chart as well as a according to astro.com. But he is the type to want to be part of a group, to exert influence over others and likes "inclusion" etc.

So I see him as Feminine dominant as he gas always said to me "I don't think I can survive without others. I NEED people."
