Masculine and Feminine Planets — What Astrology Actually Means By It | Astrology Ride of the Day

When astrologers say masculine and feminine, it has nothing to do with male, female, or sex organs — it's one of the first steps in determining a planet's condition in a chart. The Sun, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter are masculine; Venus and the Moon are feminine. Mercury is the exception, a true hermaphrodite that can express either way depending on whether it rises before or after the Sun — before makes it masculine, after makes it feminine. This breaks down how that placement works using whole sign houses, and touches on how a planet's sign can pull it toward the opposite expression, like Jupiter turning soft and receptive in Pisces instead of its usual bold Sagittarius confidence. Know thyself. Balance your energy.TakeawaysMasculine and feminine in astrology are classifications of planetary condition, not gender — the Sun, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter are masculine; Venus and the Moon are feminine.Mercury is the exception — a hermaphrodite planet that reads as masculine if it rises before the Sun in the chart, or feminine if it rises after.A planet's sign placement can shift its expression toward the opposite quality — Jupiter in Sagittarius runs at its most masculine, while Jupiter in Pisces expresses softer, more receptive, more intuitive qualities.Links referenced in this episode:iamastrologyreadings.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:I Am Astrology ReadingsPayPalVenmoCash AppSupport the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/supportBook a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading#astrologyrideoftheday
