I have four planets in Sagittarius and an Aqua rising so that seems like a good shot of masculine energies in a woman.  But my Venus is in Capricorn in the 12th and Mars in in the Pisces in the 1st.  I am pretty live and let live for the most part but detest pushy nosy people who don't respect boundaries. I have trouble with direct confrontation so I may appear much more tolerant of obnoxious behavior than I actually am.  But I will vanish out of your life with no remorse if you push me. And there is almost never any coming back (Scorpio moon).   

Ooh, I hate pushy people too. Can't stand it in them, or in me!

I'm a sixth house Aquarian with a sixth house Venus in Aquarius, Mars and Jupiter in Capricorn in the fifth, Mercury in Pisces in the seventh, Neptune in Sagittarius in the fourth, Virgo moon and ascendant. I feel mostly masculine, stoic, independent. My tightest aspects are Mars square Pluto and Neptune square moon. In my progressed chart I have moon, sun and Venus in Aries in the seventh, Mars and Jupiter conjunct in Aquarius in the fifth. I'm not one to enjoy baby or bridal showers. Ever since I was a toddler my best friends have been boys. I do have three close female friends for the first time in my life but I struggle with empathy. I can be a selfish asshole.

I am evenly split between the two, 5 planets in masculine, 5 in feminine.

As far as personal planets, its Sun, Venus, Mars in earth, and Moon, Mercury, and ascendant in air. 

I feel feminine, but not a complete  girly-girl. I own my Mars, it is conjunct my Sun after all, but so is my Venus, and it rules my Libra ascendant. I feel quite balanced in this way, not extreme in either direction. 

I love to cook, bake, take care of people, I love beauty and art. But I feel strong and pretty independent too, not a damsel in distress.

What a good question! 

I have nine planets and my ascendant in feminine signs. My sun is masculine in Aquarius. When I was a child I didn't feel feminine at all. One time I was about 5 and sitting on the floor with my legs spread out, just sitting there. My mother (tomboy Aries with lots of Cancer) told me ladies didn't sit that way and cross my legs. I was pissed (and felt defiant) but I obeyed.

As I got older I learned to balance out my feminine and masculine energy a little better but I'm far from done. I can play with hair, makeup, clothes but if I want to hit that punching bag at the National Guard booth at the fair, you need to hold my purse, please.

I feel I could be more assertive, though.

I wish people would stop equating femininity with dependence, girliness, or being a damsel-in-distress. Masculine and feminine energy are NOT the same as how their manifestations. You could have a person with strong masculine energy who's go-getting, cerebral, and protective or you could have an overly aggressive asshole who tries to control everyone around him/her. With feminine energy, you could have a person who's nurturing, empathetic, and emotionally aware or you could have someone who's hysterical, passive, and lacking in strong boundaries. How an energy MANIFESTS is not the same as what the energy itself represents. This is how women end up thinking that being feminine means being gossipy, obsessed with clothes and men, and catty. Sure, that's one expression of femininity -- just like being a controlling, insensitive asshole is one expression of masculinity. But that's not all of it, is it? 

Chart-wise, I'm predominantly masculine -- I only have one personal planet in a feminine sign (Pisces Mercury) and only my social and transpersonal planets are feminine (Saturn/Neptune/Uranus in Cap and Pluto in Scorp). So I often feel strong masculine energy that ends up meeting feminine energy outside of me. The only feminine energy I can really identify with is Moon/lunar energy given my Moon conjunct Ascendant in Libra, which mostly manifests as a strong, restless desire to roam, then retire, then read, discuss, and marvel at different types of art. 

With that said, it has always bothered me how people seem to only consider the more negative expressions of feminine energy and then gas up masculine energy. Reminds me of the girls I heard growing up who would claim to only hang out with men because women are too "catty." There's a much stronger hatred of feminine energy than masculine energy in the world, which I think is changing (thank God), but it pains me to see so much hate for a type of energy that people reduce to cattiness and damsels in distress. It's funny how so many people need feminine energy (nurturing, love, empathy, emotional respect, etc.) and have no qualms about using it when it's available to them (usually in the form of a woman), yet they constantly devalue it or reduce it to 'weakness' and dependence. Think about how many issues people have that stem from a lack of emotional self-care or a lack of nurturing in their youth. Please give feminine energy its due. We all need it and the people who downplay it are usually the ones who need it most.

I have more masculine than feminine placements in my chart & have never felt very feminine. And at the same time pissed off by social expectations of what a "woman" should be like.

In the end I've never been comfortable with either/or. Not feminine enough for a woman (what little I have) and not masculine enough if I were really to be a masculine type woman! Can't live up to the social expectations, and I feel bad about it! Too stupid.

Luckily, after a certain age, nobody gives a shit. In this day and age (and previously, too), women are desirable until maybe 24 1/2, max. After that they are mostly mothers (perhaps fuckable, but not as much as 16-year-olds). Past 30, and god forbid 40 - forget about being considered a real female. At 50, you're just about dead. At 60, WTF - what the F & what for??? Useless! This is probably biological, however, so not to be taken personally.

Sorry for un-PC on this subject. It's not just what I've experienced (I haven't really, not feminine enough to have gone through that!), but what I see around me.

I'm probably off subject - this might have more to do with society than astrology, but thanks for the rantable moment.

Do guys ever feel like they're wiped off the slate??? (Maybe at 95 1/2?) When do their attributes fall off???

Oh well, just words, huh? Not even fisticuffs.
