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 fe-
minine. 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, Sagittari-
us, Aquarius, are masculine; Cancer, Capricornus,
Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces, are feminine.
