Planets, Signs, & Gender

The Signs: Males VS Females

In the zodiac each sign has its own energy and represents different qualities. Each planet in our solar system crosses into Aries during a transit period, and the time when we are born during the transit becomes our natal position in Aries.  

In most cases, the zodiac signs are often described in more masculine forms.  However, there are differences between females and males and how these energies will be expressed or interpreted as a result.  Females and males, while filled with similarities, also have differences.  This affects how they behave socially, therefore it affects their connections with the signs and the signs' interpretations.  

So when examining human beings, how do the signs affect men and women differently? 

Aries: The Ram

Aries is normally known as the sign of the ram.  The ram is a male form of sheep.  The ram is known for its aggressive nature and competitive spirit.  Men who have planets in Aries (or the rising/Midheaven in Aries) may reflect such qualities in their lives.  They are bold, competitive, and assertive, ready for their next challenge.  This is especially so if the man has Mars in Aries.  The males tend to be quite independent and impulsive, always charging ahead of the herd.  They can be selfish and temperamental to the point of irritation.  However, they have a lot of energy and strength.  They can bounce back from pretty much any setback.  In relationships, they may be self-oriented and daring flirts.  Sure, they may seem rude to a shy person, but they are possibly one of the most sincere people one could meet.  They are adventurous and brave.  Life is a game to them, a game they intend to win. They don't take loss well, either.  They'll do whatever it takes to succeed, sometimes with much danger or risk.  They have a need to be leaders, and they do this by taking the initiative.  They just need to work on being considerate of others and thinking things through.  Their need to show off and be different may turn them into "followers" instead, people who just want to make an impression.  They are masculine in every form and ooze sexual energy, unashamed. 

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Aries will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Aries, albeit in different ways. 

Aries: The Ewe

Although Aries is often known as the sign of the ram, the female version actually takes on a different name known as the ewe.  An ewe is just as independent, competitive, and assertive as her male counterparts, albeit less temperamental.  However, she loves a challenge and even when mating, she puts her male counterparts to the test.  She likes the chase, that's for sure! Women with planets in Aries may be the very same way.  They have a strong need for attention, which becomes evident the moment they enter a room.  They can get fussy from time to time when their needs are not met.  In fact, she can even be down right mean and nasty when it suits her.  Unlike those around her, she's unashamed of her personality and sexuality.   Of course, love may seem like a game to her in the eyes of her suitors because in one moment she chases, then she may change it up and decide to play hard to get in order to be chased.  Honestly, this game is meant to test her potential partners; to see who is really sincere about being hers. She's highly affectionate and has youthfulness about her. She may seem naive and innocent at times because she doesn't quite think before she acts.  She's not one to focus too long on one problem, which could be both a setback and a benefit.  She tries to find the quickest way to accomplish her goals, otherwise she does not pursue it at all. She has a lot of energy; some may be surprised at how much she can accomplish in such little time. She does not like to feel restricted and would rather graze among the pastures for something new. She likes to start new trends and pioneer new territory.  If you want to be on her team, you've got to keep up.  This woman waits for no one and nothing.

Females With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Aries will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Aries, albeit in different ways. 

Taurus: The Bull

The bull is the male taurean species, known for its intimidating, possessive, and stubborn nature. Men who have astrological positions in Taurus may also show such qualities, more-so than their female counterparts.  The man with positions in Taurus are steady and they absolutely hate change.  They are quite the traditionalists and it can be difficult to tell them they are wrong, even when they are.  Despite this, they are strong and enduring, capable of resisting any sort of pressure.  In relationships they are sensual and charming.  They take their time building upon relationships, rather than rushing into long term commitment.  While they are not always looking for trouble, they will not back down from a fight (unless some tangible advantage persuades them otherwise).  Their definition of peace is when others simply do not bother them too much. While they are sociable, they need time to rest and retreat. They can be greedy and sometimes superficial, but they are good at managing the things they have and love.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Taurus will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Taurus, albeit in different ways. 

Taurus: The Cow

Like almost every species in the world, species of Taurus have both a female and male version.  The female Taurus is known as a cow.  When we think of cows we think of all the wonderful things they provide for us. We think of them as mothering and protective of their young. We may also recognize that they are peace-loving, and more certainly less inclined to aggression.  Women with planets in Taurus or Taurus rising/midheaven will most certainly express these qualities more often than their male counterparts.  Women with this position are just as sensual as their male counterparts, if not more.  They enjoy eating, relaxing, and socializing with those they love more than any other person. She is quite caring when it comes to those that she loves and will protect them no matter what. She is loyal to the end. While they are known for being peace-loving, they are not one for change. They like consistency and they expect others to respect their boundaries. If these boundaries are not respected, the mostly peaceful cow will lose her temper. Of course, it takes time for her anger to get so far.  She is emotionally calm and stable most of the time, as well as sensible. Her reputation is very important to her; she can be downright judgmental and cliquish. It is important for her to restrain from overeating or drinking, as is more the tendency for women with this position than men.  

Females With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Taurus will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Taurus, albeit in different ways. 

Gemini: The Twin Men

Gemini, being the sign of the twin, has a dual representation.  Twins are normally two people who were born on the same day and developed at the same time; they may even look and sound very much alike (maybe even have the same DNA if identical)...but at the end of the day they are two different people.  When a native has a planet or asc/midheaven in Gemini, it describes a person who seems to be "two persons in one body". 

Men with this position in their natal charts may seem to constantly be in conflict with their inner selves. On one hand they may seem one way in personality, but then turn around and be entirely different than they were before. However these two personalities tend to be more controlled, unlike with the female counterpart, coming and going depending on who he is surrounding himself with at the time.  He is intelligent, but mischievous.  He's changeable, so you never know what he will come up with next. He's highly curious and loves to experiment with new things. In love he's flirty, fun, and excitable. Unfortunately, he may not always be reliable. He can take over a conversation if you let him and he's never afraid to speak his mind.  He can be hilariously witty as well. Focus is his biggest struggle; its very hard to keep his attention especially when something more interesting comes along. He hates to be idle; it makes him nervous. He lives and let live, taking life as lightly as he possibly can. Despite this, he is quite thoughtful which he shows through various forms of communication.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Gemini will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Gemini, albeit in different ways. 

Cancer: The Jimmy Crab

The sign of Cancer is the crab of the zodiac.  Like all the species mentioned above, it has both a female and male counterpart, and those counterparts can be useful to observe when also looking at gender from a human standpoint.  When thinking about the description of a male crab for example, jimmies (the name usually given to describe them) are usually seen as protective, reclusive, temperamental, and even a bit awkward...they do have quite a funny walk. Despite this, crabs are also known to work together to provide food and protection for their families.  The males particularly take the initiative in finding suitable spots for females to release their eggs.

The human man that has planets or asc/midheaven in Cancer may also reflect such qualities. He is normally protective of his family and possessions. He has a dominate, bossy streak and usually he runs the household or family business at some point in his life. He is after all family-oriented, just as the female is. While normally he is pretty down-to-earth, he has an aggressive temper that others should avoid testing.  He can be moody, wanting to spend some time in his "man cave" alone.  He may go through periods of depression from all the stress in the world.  This man does have a habit of taking on more than he can emotionally and physically bare. In love, he is quite caring, making sure whomever he loves has everything they need and want. If he has other aggressive energies in his natal chart, this energy will quite shock others.  He has a great sense of humor; he enjoys making others laugh and keeping his loved ones happy. He needs stability in his life at all times, so he may not leave even the worst of situations. He may even take some of the blame for it.  Its important he learns to communicate better, otherwise this man will take his fustrations out on those closest to him.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Cancer will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Cancer, albeit in different ways. 

Leo: The Lion

Leo is known as the sign of the "lion", representing pride, leadership, dignity, and confidence. The male lion is particularly known for its dignified presentation but also his dominance and leadership are key qualities in defining him. He is known as the "King of the Jungle".

Men who have planets in Leo or asc/midheaven in Leo also display qualities of the lion; dignified and dominate. His presence is extremely hard to ignore. He's the father, husband, big brother of pretty much everyone around him. He was born to lead.  He can be dramatic sometimes, sometimes overemphasizing his abilities or attributes.  In some cases his presence is stronger than his actual abilities. He should be careful not to let his ego get carried away.  In love, he's usually a loyal man, although he loves to be admired and flattered.  He has a lot of pride in himself, so its best not to criticize or humiliate him if you want to stay on his good side.  His temper is ferocious when angered. He is the boss in most situations, so it is hard for him to take a back seat and follow behind others. He wants nothing but respect, and he can be quite self-centered regarding it. However, when he feels appreciated he rewards with generosity. He is possessive; whatever (or whomever) belongs to him belongs to him alone. He has the heart of a child no matter how old he gets.  Sometimes he may have bratty behavior as a result, but he always knows how to let loose and have fun.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Leo will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Leo, albeit in different ways. 

Virgo: The Virgin Gods

The "virgin" in astrology is symbolized by an angel-like figure with sheaves of wheat in hand.  Usually the symbol is of a woman, which is technically the only symbol in astrology representing a woman.  However, virgins can be male; after all angels of the bible were considered "virgins" and they were mostly in the figure of males.  The angels were both messengers and guardians. They had various different ranks and they always sacrificed for the sake of humanity.  Early forms of these "angel-like" creatures can be also be found on gods of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and even in Indian religion. Regardless, the ones in male form who represented these winged creatures were usually wise, powerful, and sacrificial; the ideal of perfection.

Another thing we should consider about this symbol is the fact that it represents a figure that is half bird, half human.  That means the native with planets in this sign will represent duality of some sort. 

Men with planets in Virgo or asc/midheaven in Virgo are reliable, logical, and hardworking.  They are known for being both helpful, yet so critical.  Their criticism may even be seen as "being helpful". They are known for being both humble, yet authoritarian. Humble as in not showy or loud, but authoritarian as in setting up strict codes of ethics for those who are around them.  They are both observant, yet innocent.  Deep down they are quite shy, which gives them a youthful presence. They see life so logically, to the point they often misunderstand other people's emotions (even with other emotional energies in their own charts).  They are conservative in the truest sense of the word, preferring to do things pretty much the traditional way.  They can be quite humorously sarcastic.  In love, its the little things that matter to them more than the big things.  So don't think they are being selfish when they decide to give you a thoughtful card instead of a diamond necklace. They are simple; they are abhor drama and other complicated things, yet they thrive off of these situations because it makes them feel useful.  They are surprisingly men of peace.  They may work themselves to death trying to perfect whatever it is they do, so it is important that they take time away from stressful situations.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Virgo will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Virgo, albeit in different ways. 

Gemini: The Twin Women

Gemini is the sign of the twin, which astrologically represents duality, changeability, and communication.  The "twin" in astrology is possibly the most humanistic zodiac sign, representing qualities that are typically human.  However, the unique characteristic of this sign is it represents two persons, therefore indicating that a native with a planet or asc/midheaven in Gemini will have qualities that make them seem as if they are two different persons in one body.

 Naturally, we must keep in mind that a woman with this position is like having two different types of females inside. While twins are developed and born at the same time, same day, and maybe even look alike they normally have differences in personality. The same can be said of a person who has positions in Gemini; it may seem like the same woman you've always known, but in reality she has two different personalities at work here. 

Therefore, this woman is more changeable and fickle than the average woman.  She is always in thought and naturally curious, just like her male counterparts.  She loves to talk and ask questions. She can always be found gossiping about or giving others an update on what is going on in the world.  Not to mention she has loads of opinions about everything! However, her inner life she keeps very private. She yearns for closeness with others (as she is easily lonely), but her lack of focus can make it hard for her to develop deep bonds.  She can be moody depending on her circumstance.  She may be a book worm one minute, then the next minute she's ready for a late night party. She can be light-hearted, but also extremely deep.  She can be energetic on one hand, but then outright lazy on the other hand. She has a lot of nervous energy, especially when she is around others. In love, she is flirty and playful.  She likes to have fun and doesn't like when others bring her down. Despite her ditsy, flighty appearance, she is actually quite shrewd, clever, and quick-witted.  There are so many layers to a woman with positions in Gemini.  For some these layers may be hard to read. Its best to simply enjoy whatever it is that she presents to you. She is good at multi-tasking, more than her male counterpart, so don't be surprised to know that she heard every word you said while doing other tasks. But watch out! She can be manipulative and tricky. She knows how to talk a good game to get her way.

Females With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Gemini will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Gemini, albeit in different ways. 

Cancer: The Sook Crab

When talking about the "crab" in the zodiac, one must remember that even scientifically crabs do have female and male classifications.  Therefore, when thinking astrologically the way the "crab" will be described with also differ between the genders.  

The female crab, also known as a sook, is recognized by her protective, reclusive, and temperamental attitudes, as well as her awkwardness.  This description is quite similar that of the male crab, right? However, there are differences in the way the female crab behaves. For example, in many crab families of females they are more than likely to migrate more and some of them will go beyond shallow waters, unlike their male counterparts who prefer to stay safely near the shore. Females also molt more often than males, especially when ready to mate.

When thinking about women with planets or other positions in the sign of Cancer, many of the qualities of the female crab can also be applied.  Women with positions in Cancer will be moody and temperamental at times, but they have a lot of heart. They have to be careful, however that their emotions do not cloud their judgment as is the tendency. Just as their male counterparts, they are family oriented and will always be there to help the ones they love.  They have quite a traditional and conservative streak about them, despite how changeable they can be. They have excellent business skills and are quite the "penny pinchers".  While they have quite the hard shell on the outside (often appearing confident and strong), deep down there is a sensitive soul that is easily hurt.  She is highly expressive when hurt and sometimes unpredictable. Yet, this sensitivity also makes them quite creative and romantic.  In love, they are caring and kind, but always there is a humble streak about them. They can be quite shy and awkward in social situations, especially when they are not comfortable.  Memories are very important to them, so in every situation they try to make the best of them so that they will have a memory they won't want to forget. 

Females With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Cancer will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Cancer, albeit in different ways. 

Leo: The Lioness

Leo is known as the sign of the "lion", representing pride, leadership, dignity, and confidence. The female lion is particularly known for its dignified presentation but also her fierceness, her creativity, her shrewdness, and her ability to be independent. She is a hunter, who provides for the pride; she even provides for the male lion, "king of the jungle".

Women who have planets in Leo or Asc/midheaven in Leo are just as fierce and independent as the lioness. She is always on the prowl for a new conquest. She's adventurous, always wanting to get the best out of life. She can be demanding and often times controlling of those around her. She wants to be the dominate figure in the lives of those around her, something she shares in common with her male counterpart. She takes pride in herself and won't be disrespected. In love, however, she may give of herself more than she should...in some ways against her own pride and dignity.  Deep down she wants to be loved, admired, and adored. She is jealous-hearted and spiteful. Her temper is nothing to mock. On the other hand, her generosity is something to admire. She is more readily giving than her male counterpart, even without flattery or admiration. However, one should not be mistaken; she expects appreciation! She's quite sure of herself and she will never take no for an answer. She has nothing but will power that gets her through every situation.

Females With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Leo will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Leo, albeit in different ways. 

Virgo: The Virgin Goddesses

The "virgin" in astrology is symbolized by an angel-like figure with sheaves of wheat in hand.  Usually the symbol is of a woman, which is technically the only symbol in astrology representing a woman. Many believe the symbol represents a goddess of some sort, as most goddesses in ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and Mesopotamia were portrayed with wings in ancient art. Even some recent portrayals of angels are in a woman like form with wings. This sign is literally the only one representing a female figure as well as a mythical creature. So when thinking of this symbol the human woman may fit most of the stereotypical qualities of this sign such as humility, purity, self-sacrifice, and perfectionism, but also have qualities that are also unique from most people.

Another aspect of the sign is the fact that the woman is also a bird like creature. Having both aspects, this sign is typically one that represents duality, albeit differently than with signs like Gemini or Pisces. The sign does not represent two persons in one body, but rather one person with two very conflicting qualities inside.  This is what will be evident when we look at someone with planets in Virgo or asc/midheaven in Virgo.

Women with positions in Virgo are, again, quite humble and modest.  They are rather shy and innocent like their male counterparts, but just like their male counterparts they may try to hide it so that they won't appear incompetent. They can be fussy sometimes, only because stress affects them more than the average person.  Everything must be just so; they hate when their routine is interrupted. They are quite analytical and are careful of the details.  They often have high expectations of others, which as parents can make them really difficult to handle.  Deep down they have a strong desire to be loved. In love, they are always self-sacrificing and trying to make even the worst of relationships work.  Speaking of work, they are quite hardworking even from an early age.  They catch on to their environment rather quickly; they are quite adaptable.  They are the best person to be around during an emergency as they know how to fix almost any issue.  They may be a little too hard on themselves especially when they make a mistake.  They are always insecure, wanting to be better each time. They may be a little too stressed over the small stuff.  They have a hard time letting loose. They are always reasonable and rational when making decisions. You can always depend on them to be honest and sincere.  If ever there was an opinionated woman, she is by far the most opinionated.

​

Females With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Virgo will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Virgo, albeit in different ways. 

Libra: The Scale of Men

Libra is the only inanimate object to be represented in the zodiac, and as a result the scale does not represent a gender of any kind.  Yet, and still everything in our universe has attributes that can be related to human qualities.  While the scale has no gender, the way men might express qualities of a scale will be slightly different from women.  How so? 

The scales are mechanics made to weigh various different things, especially the mass of something.  Scales have evolved over time to become more digitized and reliable, thanks to the influence of mankind. Throughout history the scale has always been a symbol of justice, peace, and equality. Men and women with positions in Libra may show both qualities, but  will interpret these things very differently and thus express them in different ways from one another. Still, both will seek to balance their masculine and feminine traits.

Men with planets in Libra or asc/midheaven in Libra are usually very reasonable, cool, and collected.  They are usually quite charming and sociable. They never let others see them sweat, even when dealing with stressful situations.  They are very much concerned with how they appear to others, so they would never do something that would set them apart as odd. They tend to be constantly concerned with other people's character; always giving the benefit of the doubt but then also quick to judge. They are against inequalities of all kinds, but they are reasonable and will not assume the worst about a situation.  They prefer cooperation over disagreement, so they may avoid arguments like the plague unless its done in a tactful manner. Not surprisingly, sometimes they are the ones who start arguments because they love to play the devil's advocate. When situations turn for the worse, they become unsure and it makes them go the other way.  They are more sure of things when everything runs smoothly. This is a man who does not like to have problems in his life and so he prefers to avoid them or brush them under the rug. The upside is he is a peace-loving man, who prefers to take things easy.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Libra will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Libra, albeit in different ways.

Scorpio: The Male Scorpion

Scorpions have been recognized as one of the most mysterious and scariest creatures on earth. Aside from their venom, they are reclusive which keeps others away with admiration from afar. Scorpions have been a symbol for death, sexuality, and even betrayal as a result of their sinister reputation.

The male scorpion, while smaller than the female, is packed with much more venom in most cases. However, he is still less likely to sting unless hungry or ready to tame a female for mating. The male is usually on his own and can withstand almost anything.

The man that has planets in Scorpio or asc/midheaven in Scorpio will also reflect such qualities.  He is an independent risk-taker, ready to take on any challenges seemingly fearlessly.  He's mysterious sometimes; to some this may be intimidating. To others it may be alluring. While he does most of everything in secret, his presence can usually be felt because of his suspicious aura.  Because of this it is hard to trust his movements.  He may seem friendly one minute, and turn out to be your worse nightmare the next.  This is more evident when he is in relationships with someone he supposedly loves.  There can be a bit of a double standard here. He expects loyalty, but may not always be loyal. He expects respect, but may not always give respect.  He expects honesty, but he is a well of secrets. In his case, he likes to feel in charge and in control. You are either with him or against him. Conversely, his intimidating streak sometimes hides a more emotional, sensitive soul. Its all complicated really. The complication of it all is even hard for him to grasp and as a result he may go through much inner turmoil. His sex drive is intense; in fact his drive to do anything runs deep. He is quite passionate. He has an eccentric side to him; he doesn't like to conform to the norm. Unfortunately this may make him feel like an outsider socially (which he may not mind much at all because he's usually a loner). He may need to curb his extremities more or else he'll come across overwhelming.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Scorpio will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Scorpio, albeit in different ways.

Sagittarius: The Archer Centaur

Sagittarius is the sign of the archer, representing ambition, expansion, and knowledge. However this sign is pictured as more than just a regular human archer of archery. The sign depicts a creature known as a centaur (half human, half horse) who carries an aimed bow and arrow. In this sense, the sign Sagittarius represents a past affiliation with archers and horses, as archers on horseback was a very common thing to see. The legend became that archers were often so skilled on horseback that they and the horse became one.  Because this is a sign that represents a creature with two different qualities, the sign itself is one of the signs representing duality in which a native with planets, ascendant, or midheaven in Sagittarius will appear to be a person with quite conflicting qualities inside.

Centaurs were vicious and war like...yet in some stories they were often portrayed as wise (such as in the story of Chiron). Centaurs are often considered skilled archers as a result of their precision and ability to run really fast.  They have humane qualities in which they are able to feel emotional pain and think philosophically, but they also have horse-like qualities in which they are hard to tame.

Men who have positions in Sagittarius are definitely of a dual nature, displaying both a wild, untamed side to them but also a very philosophical, spiritual side as well.  They are adventurous and energetic. They love to experience new things and hate to be stuck in situations.  Along with their experiences, they become quite world-wise...but it also makes them brag and they have a tendency to be rather preachy.  They believe they see the world clearer than everyone else and so they may seek to influence or inspire others to their way of thinking.  Unfortunately, they do not appreciate when others preach to them.  They must be careful to practice what it is they are preaching, otherwise they will be seen as hypocrites.  They are jovial and generous most of the time.  They like to have fun with life.  They may shoot and miss the mark as they have a tendency to expect more from life, thus they promise more than can be delivered.  Sometimes their high standards of life and people can be so high that they are easily disappointed when things don't work out as they want it to.  This is especially evident when they are in love with someone.  This may be one of the reasons they struggle with commitment. They can be rudely honest, while still maintaining humor.  The need for freedom is strong here and he will do whatever it takes to maintain it.  He is quite ambitious, looking for ways to make his life more meaningful and purposeful.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Sagittarius will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Sagittarius, albeit in different ways.

Libra: The Scale of Women

Libra is the only inanimate object to be represented in the zodiac, and as a result the scale does not represent a gender of any kind.  Yet, and still everything in our universe has attributes that can be related to human qualities.  While the scale has no gender, the way men might express qualities of a scale will be slightly different from women.  How so? 

The scales are mechanics made to weigh various different things, especially the mass of something.  Scales have evolved over time to become more digitized and reliable, thanks to the influence of man. Throughout history the scale has always been a symbol of justice, peace, and equality. Men and women with positions in Libra may show both qualities, but  will interpret these things very differently and thus express them in different ways from one another. Still, both will seek to balance their masculine and feminine traits.

Women with planets in Libra or asc/midheaven in Libra are usually quite graceful, charming, and considerate. They can be quite judgmental. To others they may seem stuck-up as a result, but honestly they have no ill intentions.  They are usually defending others, as they hate injustices of all kinds. However, they struggle to defend themselves.  They can be unsure and indecisive at times because they want to make the right decisions.  They are concerned about their reputation.  They hate to be the "bad-girl" in the situation. They are quite sensitive to other people's opinions or ideas, which can be both a setback and a benefit.  They are good at being the mediator because they can always find ways for other people to get along and enjoy themselves. They try to maintain a respectful relationship with everyone.  To some they may seem insincere, buts its just their considerate nature. They always have fabulous ideas on how to make things better, hence why they always seem to be popular with others.

Males With Sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asc/Midheaven in Libra will all reflect the most obvious qualities of Libra, albeit in different ways.

Scorpio: The Female Scorpion

The mysterious scorpion is both a marvel and something to fear. Despite how small they are, their venom (which is shot from the stinger of their tail) can be lethal which is the cause of most of the fears others have of them. Scorpions have been a symbol for death, sexuality, and even betrayal. It is even a symbol of power. Despite their hard shell of protection, underneath is where they are most vulnerable.

The female scorpion is larger than her male counterpart. She is more sluggish in movement, but much more defensive and will attempt to sting you faster than the male would. The female scorpion is even a danger to her male counterparts; many of them cannibalize after mating. The female scorpion is in many ways more feared than the male scorpion.

Women with planets in Scorpio or asc/midheaven in Scorpio will more than likely reflect similar qualities.  She is most of the time withdrawn and reclusive, preferring to stay near close friends. She is calculating and manipulative, doing most things in secret but still making an impact on those around her. She can be distrustful of the world.  To others she may even seem like a negative person because she is usually very cynical.  However, her disposition is a hard outer shell hiding a very vulnerable emotional side...a side to her that is just a little too sensitive.  When she is slighted she can be quite vengeful.  She's a backstabber if ever there was one, particularly to those who do harm to her even if unintentional.  When she likes someone, she is the most loyal person one could meet. In love, she gives all or nothing at all.  She expects people she loves to hide nothing from her so that she will feel more comfortable opening up.  She has a lot of will power that can help her overcome any setback. She won't be controlled, which makes her quite the rebel at heart. She's outspoken on world events and always ready to show others what she is made of.

Sagittarius: The Archer Centaurides

With Sagittarius being the sign of the archer, the qualities that have been pinned with it are ambition, expansion, and wisdom.  Of course, the sign is also depicted as a centaur (horse like creature), which was at one point a creature known as the best archer.  This plays a role in how one should interpret this sign.  Because the sign represents a human archer mixed with the body of a horse, this implies that a person with positions in Sagittarius will have dual personality.

Centaurides are the female counterparts to Centaurs.  While they are less talked about than their male counterparts in mythical stories, they are known to be quite beautiful, caring, and thoughtful.  However, in later depictions of them they are shown as being just as wild as their male counterparts, along with a similar knack for archery. After all, mares are the leaders of the herd therefore part of the centauride is no different; she is bred to lead or be free.

Women with planets in Sagittarius or asc/midheaven in Sagittarius are quite freedom-loving and independent.  They make excellent leaders because they have so much enthusiasm and a carefree attitude that is infectious.  They love having new experiences and they love to teach about the experiences they have whenever they get a chance.  They may seem not to have a care in the world, even when the opposite is true.  They may seem insensitive and brutally honest, even in the worst of situations.  Their humor is meant to disguise the fact that they are honest.  They want to keep a light atmosphere but they speak with intention.  They are quite optimistic about their life which helps them accomplish a lot. They try not to surround themselves with too much negativity, so don't be surprised when they are absent.  They are quite spiritual and faithful to whatever it is they believe in.  They can be stubborn about their beliefs, too. They may have big ego at times, believing they are above or better than others.  It is true that luck seems to fall right into their laps (mainly because they take opportunities that others will be more cautious about).  They must work harder on understanding others, otherwise they will never have intimacy. These ladies want companions, but they fly with the wind without waiting to develop anything deep. In love, this is also so. They enjoy the benefits of romance, but they do not put enough effort into understanding. Regardless, they are the life of any party because of their fun-loving attitude.

Capricorn: The Billy Goat

Capricorn is the sign of the goat (or what some refer to as the sea-goat because of the past belief that the goat evolved from the sea). The male goat is known as a billy goat.  He is agile and determined, especially when trapped for too long.  He is always exploring new surroundings, as he and his female counterpart are naturally curious. They are rebellious and much more likely to buck something or someone than even a ram. Goats can easily find their way out situations; they are adept at overcoming obstacles and quite steady. Because the sign often depicts the goat in its sea form, the sign can be said to be a dual sign representing a person with two conflicting qualities.

Men with planets in Capricorn or asc/midheaven in Capricorn are ambitious and determined.  They want to be successful in the world and want to live a good life.  They always seem to have obstacles standing in their way, but they are always prepared for them.  They are quite reserved emotionally, not always showing how they feel to others except those closest to them.  They are quite reserved and conservative. They don't go outside tried and true methods.  They are business men, men who know how to make money.  They are usually practical and sensible, even an opportunist.  He must be careful not to use others only to step on their toes later on. He is not the most generous of people, but he feels a sense of obligation to his family.  This may cause resentment later on in his life.  He can be moody and pessimistic because of all the trials he has to endure to become successful.  He may have a sense of humor that is dry or dark as a result.  He can be bossy at times because he doesn't like a lot of chaos.  But he's usually good at what he does and knows how to manage situations.  He can be spiritual or philosophical, while maintaining a realistic point of view.

Aquarius:The Water Bearer of Clouds

Aquarius is a very complicated sign.  While the symbol represents a man pouring out water from an urn, the story behind the sign itself (a young man who poured out water from the clouds) represents a personification of rain, rain clouds, and thunderstorms. In a sense, this sign could be considered a dual sign.  It represents both a human-like form, but also clouds above.

Men who have planets in Aquarius or asc/midheaven in Aquarius are cool, detached, and aloof...they have the typical Aquarian qualities here.  They are eccentric and unique; they love to stand out and be different.  They are not afraid to break the rules, even if it is usually not their intention.  They just want the freedom to be themselves and do what they want to do.  He is usually interested in world events and may insist he is the most logical person one could find.  He may seem to be liberal in his approach to life, but deep down he has many conservative ways of thinking.  He is a counterculturalist so his viewpoints always go against the trends.  In fact, he has a brilliant mind that seems to see future trends before they happen.  He is inventive and innovative, a genius for sure.  He's complex and paradoxical, wanting to control others but never wanting to be controlled.  He only understands humans from the abstract, never personally or individually.  He likes to be involved in his community in some way so he may either get involved in something political or join an organization with other like-minded individuals.  In love, he prefers to be a friend with benefits.  In fact, he may prefer friendships over romantic relationships. He is loyal to his own ideas and causes and won't change his mind even with a good logical argument.

Pisces: The Male Fish

The sign of the fish is another sign of duality representing two fish going in opposite directions.  Only this time the sign of Pisces is more similar to Gemini, in which the symbol shows two different beings.  That means the description of a person with positions in Pisces will feel as though the person has various different sides to them.  An important thing to also remember is that the depiction of the sign is of Aphrodite (the Greek alternate of Venus) and her son Eros.  This means that the fish is representing both a female and male.

Male fish are quite various according to their breeds.  One thing is for certain: they are all adept at the art of manipulation.  They are not readily fighters, but they can be territorial...and they manage to find various ways to get what they want creatively. They are usually quite beautiful, but some of them are also quite deadly.  They are changeable in this way.  To add, they are more nurturing then their female counterparts; many of them take over the role of caretaker of eggs and such.  

Men with positions in Pisces are more vulnerable and sensitive than they appear (unless they have asc/midheaven in Pisces then they appear more vulnerable than they may really be). They are always impressionable; their environment will determine their behavior that is for sure.  You can't tell them this though; it is hard for them to be convinced of something they have always been taught...not of course until it starts to affect them negatively.  They are quite philosophical, always attaching themselves to proverbs and/or chants.  They need these things in their life because for him he lives a very stressful life.  Naturally, he is a recluse but because we must live in this world with others he will have many mental and emotional breakdowns.  He's changeable like a fish; you never know how he might react to a situation.  He can appear as docile as a sardine, but easily turn to bite you in the back like a shark.  He must be careful not to take his frustrations out on those closest to him.  He is very creative and great at the art of illusion which can take him into various fields of art.  He has an alluring presence that seems too good to be true.  This comes from his idealistic, dreamy aspirations.  He may seem to expect life to be like in a fantasy, which can frustrate those closest to him.  Of course, in love, this can make him quite the romantic.  With life he just goes with the flow, taking life one step at a time.  While he may seem irresponsible because of it, it also makes him look past the petty things that other people make such a big deal about.  They have a compassionate streak that marches for the underdogs and downtrodden in the world.

Capricorn: The Nanny Goat

Capricorn is the sign of the goat (or what some refer to as the sea-goat because of the past belief that the goat evolved from the sea). The female goat is known as a nanny.  She is inquisitive, determined, shrewd, and pursuant when she wants something.  Along with her male counterpart, she is also hard to keep trapped in a cage or fence.  She is calculating and knows how to find her way out of most circumstances.  Like all goats she is an excellent climber, able to climb up the steepest mountains without falling. Because the sign often depicts the goat in its sea form, the sign can be said to be a dual sign representing a person with two conflicting qualities.

The woman with positions in Capricorn is just as determined and shrewd as the nanny.  She is ambitious and pursuant, and never let's other people and anything get in the way of what she wants to achieve.  She sees obstacles as a challenge...she may even go towards them just to test her abilities. She is known for her maturity and practicality.  She is resourceful and can handle business very smoothly.  She can be hard to read or understand because she doesn't always show her feelings, especially not in public.  As a result, it can be difficult to get close to her.  She can be fussy and bossy as well, and may even overexercise her authority when she is in a high position.  It is important she does not become a power-tripper or a tyrant. She has high standards when it comes to personal relationships, which might interfere with a lot of good relationships. She gets resentful when she has to depend on others. She is cautious when it comes to taking on new responsibilities; not because she is irresponsible.  In fact, she is a little too responsible and dependable to the point she will take on more than she can chew. Knowing her limits here is important.  She's quite humorous and down-to-earth overall, and usually loyal to those who are loyal to her.

Aquarius: The Water Bearer Of Stars

The sign Aquarius represent a young man pouring water from the clouds onto the earth.  In this case, the symbol is a personified version of rain clouds and thunderstorms. Water-bearers, while represented as a man in this case, has in many cases be symbolized as a woman.  For example, if we look at the tarot card of The Star it represents a female water bearer who comes from the stars to pour water into streams. These are all symbols of rain that have been personified, therefore this sign represents a sort of dual quality.  As a result, any person with planets or asc/midheaven in this sign will have conflicting qualities.

Women with positions in Aquarius are always yearning to fit in and belong.  Yet, the complex part of them is very unique and different from most people.  They may decide to join clubs, organizations, or protests in order to gather with others who think more like they do.  They find it very difficult to be around people who are different from them, despite the fact that they may preach about tolerance.  While they can be stubborn and preachy, they usually want to make the world a better place.  Most lovers will find them to be detached emotionally, especially in personal relationships.  Even when they are sad and moody, they quickly get past it. They surprisingly hate to be alone, despite how distant they are.  They may prefer to have a group of friends to hang with from time to time.  She is quite creative, and the best part is that most of her creativity goes towards something greater than monetary gains.  She is a trendsetter and she likes to make an impact on others. She is an intellectual who loves to learn about life.  She has to know whats going on in the world around her.  She's usually a party starter because of her offbeat nature. She'll never do what you expect her to do.  She's the master of surprise.

Pisces: The Female Fish

The sign of the fish is another sign of duality representing two fish going in opposite directions.  Only this time the sign of Pisces is more similar to Gemini, in which the symbol shows two different beings.  That means the description of a person with positions in Pisces will feel as though the person has various different sides to them.  An important thing to also remember is that the depiction of the sign is of Aphrodite (the Greek alternate of Venus) and her son Eros.  This means that the fish is representing both a female and male.

Female fish are quite various according to their breeds.   They have changeable behaviors even within one breed.  The female fish are the most difficult to read as a result.  Some may be volatile, some may be easily victimized.  Like all fish they are vulnerable.  Along with their male counterparts, they are also adept at the art of manipulation.

Females with positions in Pisces are quite compassionate, creative, and philosophical/spiritual.  They have strong faith in people and things, a faith that can be both inspiring and dangerous.  They can be naive and to some gullible, but they will always give the universe the benefit of the doubt.  Of course, their colors are changeable; they may just as easily become moody and snappy towards those that try to take advantage of them.  Still, the compassionate side of her will not keep her angry for long.  She can be generous, though she may go too far and end up having nothing for herself.  In this way she always seems dependent.  She may seem like a socialite some of the time (she does love to have a little fun), but believe it or not she needs a lot of time alone to dream and recuperate.  She needs a peaceful environment otherwise she will not be mentally and emotionally healthy.  She is more than likely to be tempted by peer pressure or even her own desires, so it is important she chooses her friends wisely.  This is especially important when she is in love, as she has a tendency to put up with really abusive relationships. Conversely, she may run away from relationships as she is not good at taking responsibility.  With experience she will become a great teacher and healer for others because this is a woman that experiences life earlier than most people.  She can be on the eccentric side, but this comes from her open-minded approach to life.
