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