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