Why do they call the air and fire signs masculine, while they call the earth and!


Question: I'm an air sign, so considered masculine in personality, but why?


Answers: I'm an air sign, so considered masculine in personality, but why?

the essence of MALEness (and physiology) is outward and provocative and active

air/wind moves around and is by nature "up" in the atmosphere.
fire moves around and flames reach "up." when both these forces are active, they have visible outward effects on other objects (bending trees, burning tinder)

the essence of FEMALE is relational and receptive and surrounding

earth and water are down, and grounded, are close to the planet and create stability. in general, these are passive and tangible materials that affect other things via 'grounding,' immersion and inclusion.

  • well, I dont care about that, they always says that taurus and scorpio girls are tomboys, and taurus is an earth sign, and scorpio is Water, And libra girls are sassy and girly and Libra is an Air sign... well it's just an astrological things, i think it's related by the planets, the feminine planets are Venus, Mercury and Earth, and the Masculine are Mars and Saturn and Jupiter, so i think the Signs that been ruled by the planet are feminine and masculine... well I don't think Masculine and Feminine thing effect in your personality...

    I honestly don't know cause that part is very, very CONFUSING.

    Libra males tend to be feminine just like Libra females. Sagittarius males tend to be masculine like their sign but the females tend to be masculine too. The Gemini females are opposite their sign; almost always feminine, but the males, masculine. Taurus males and females I've found to be more feminine than anything. Aries men are masculine yet the females very very feminine. Lastly, Capricorn males tend to be masculine, unlike their sign says, and the females, pretty feminine?

    See the connection? I don't! =P

    ooooooookkkkkk???


    I'm a leo (a fire sign) and i am one of the girliest-girls ever.....

    but if they say so

    Masculine v. Feminine signs in astrology only refers to whether or not the sign is more extroverted (masculine) or introverted (feminine). Air and fire signs are typically more outgoing, water and earth more withdrawn.

    Learn about astrological masculinity/femininity. It has little to do with being macho or girly. In fact, men with astrological femininity often compensate by acting macho (working out, claiming to be promiscuous or tough) and women with astrological masculinity often compensate by acting girly (wearing girly clothes and makeup, claiming to be emotional).

    Astrologically masculine qualities: Independent, dates a lot, travels a lot, energetic, active, headstrong, talkative, confident, open-minded, rude, sexual, flirtatious, prefers to pursue a mate

    Astrologically feminine qualities: Prefers long-term relationships, prefers to stay at home, needs more sleep, methodical, considerate, reliable, kind, stubborn, depends on others, polite, shy, prudish, prefers to be pursued

    Here is the approximate ranking of signs from most masculine to most feminine: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo, Aquarius, Gemini, Libra, Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Pisces, Cancer, Virgo

    Note that Libra and Capricorn are the astrological dandies (50% masculine, 50% feminine) of the zodiac. They tend to like long-term relationships but are quite sexual. Libras are prettier, like to be surrounded by friends and are more active in pursuit of a mate, while Capricorns are more unique looking, prefer to have alone time and prefer to be pursued. Both have a good balance of confidence and sensitivity/empathy, which makes their personalities exceptionally attractive.

    masculine signs shows outward expression of reactions, while feminine signs rarely shows their reaction, and keeps deeper emotional attachments to certain situations.
