(there indefinitely seems to be some male taurus, cancer, virgo, etc. that has to chime in to defend his masculinity. and masculine / feminine has NOTHING to do with that.)"
I see but would you know why they associate female to introverted and male to extroverted?
I think it's because feminine signs are more concerned with receptive stimuli (sensitive) around them and less outwardly active (introverted as they have to process what's going on) - so focusing primarily on the link between emotional or material world.
Masculine signs are more concerned with activity with less sensitivity, and focusing on the spiritual/mental world - always changing or moving - extroverted.
E.g I have 8 female and 6 male which makes me centred (well balanced not self-centred..lool)
Background:
Fire and air signs - male
Earth and water - female
Work out the male and female ratio based on your chart. The planets you need to consider are the following:
Sun
Moon
Merc
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Chiron
Earth (the opposite sign of your sun sign)
Midheaven
Ascendant
So for instance for me I would do the following:
Sun - Scorpio (female)
Moon - cancer (female)
Venus - Sag (male)
Earth - Taurus (female)
Etc..
At times, the more masculine in appearance could be very feminine if you get my gist.
Work it out and announce your nature..lol
