MASCULINE Signs.—Astrologers divide the signs into masculine and feminine; by reason of their qualities, which are either active, and hot, or cold, accounted masculine; or passive, dry, and moist, which
are feminine.
On this principle they call the sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars, masculine: and the moon and Venus, feminine. Mercury, they suppose, partakes of the two. Among the signs, Aries, Libra, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius, are masculine: Cancer, Capricornus, Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces, are feminine.
