The solar phase emerges as a pivotal factor in discerning the masculine or feminine expression of a planet. This concept revolves around a planet's position in relation to the Sun, with planets that rise before the Sun exhibiting a more masculine demeanor, while those that rise thereafter display a feminine quality. For instance, if we consider Venus, a planet traditionally associated with femininity, its expression can become markedly more masculine when positioned in a masculine sign such as Leo and situated in a masculine solar phase. This layered synthesis results in a Venus that is not merely soft and shy, but rather assertive, bold, and performative. Through this examination of solar phase, we gain profound insights into the complexities of planetary expression, elucidating the balancing act between intrinsic qualities and contextual influences.
Takeaways:
The solar phase of a planet significantly influences its expression of masculinity or femininity.
A planet's position relative to the Sun determines whether it is more masculine or feminine.
Feminine planets in masculine signs and solar phases exhibit bolder and more direct characteristics.
Even traditionally feminine planets can display assertive traits based on their solar phase.
The relationship between a planet's solar phase and its elemental expression is crucial for astrological interpretation.
Understanding solar phases can illuminate why individuals with feminine planets may act differently in masculine conditions.
The next step or layer in determining the masculinity or femininity of a planet's condition is the planet's solar phase.
Speaker A:
Solar phase is a planet's location relative to the sun.
Speaker A:
Just like Mercury in this case, does it rise before or after the sun?
Speaker A:
Planets that rise before the sun was seen to be more masculinized, while planets rising after the sun was seen more feminized.
Speaker A:
If feminine Venus rises before the sun.
Speaker A:
It's more masculine than Venus rising after the sun.
Speaker A:
This is adding another layer to the formula.
Speaker A:
What do I mean by that?
Speaker A:
It.
Speaker A:
Let's take feminine Venus, put it in masculine Leo, and put it in a masculine solar flame phase, rising before the sun.
Speaker A:
You have a more masculinized Venus.
Speaker B:
That just made a lot of sense about my chart.
Speaker A:
How would you think a more masculine lies Venus would act in Leo rising before the sun?
Speaker B:
More direct, maybe more to your face, I guess.
Speaker A:
More show offy.
Speaker B:
Yes, yes, more show offy.
Speaker B:
More like, look at me.
Speaker B:
I am.
Speaker B:
Because when you think of, you know, when you think of a very, you know, feminine person or just that word, like feminine, or that the qualities of femininity, it's kind of.
Speaker B:
Not only is it soft, but it also feels or.
Speaker B:
Or seems kind of shy in a way.
Speaker B:
Right?
Speaker A:
Yes.
Speaker A:
I'm glad you said that because I got an example for you.
Speaker A:
The gifted artist who has stage fright.
Speaker A:
Can you see it?
Speaker B:
Absolutely, yeah.
Speaker A:
Have any questions about solar phase?
Speaker A:
Anything?
Speaker B:
I actually know that you just explained it.
Speaker B:
It made a lot of sense in my mind because I just saw in my head, you know, the wheel, like, okay, so when I was younger, like, I mean, I've been basically a tomboy my entire life, but when I was, like, really young, when I was a kid, you know, I was like straight up tomboy.
Speaker B:
Even, like, as a child, my mom would tell me, she's told me before that, like, I wouldn't even want to wear shirts.
Speaker B:
I would just want to be like, without, like a shirt on, like, all day long type of thing.
Speaker B:
Like a boy, you know, like a little boy.
Speaker A:
Mm.
Speaker B:
And you know, you know, I have that stellium in Aquarius where I have like Venus and trapped between Mars and Saturn, which kind of is.
Speaker B:
Venus is like, gasping for air.
Speaker B:
But they did technically rise way before the sun did.
Speaker A:
I'm glad you just go ahead.
Speaker B:
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:
No, I was just gonna say that it makes a lot of sense.
Speaker B:
Like, like, in my chart, it would make a lot of sense as to why my expression when I was younger was kind of more boyish.
Speaker B:
I. I didn't even want to play with dolls.
Speaker B:
I. I would.
Speaker B:
I remember I would.
Speaker B:
I would get underneath the car with my dad because I would watch him, like, do, you know, mechanic stuff in the car, and I would just want to, like, play with his tools instead.
Speaker B:
And I just.
Speaker B:
I like to wear dresses, like, you know.
Speaker A:
Well, would you like to add another layer to that story you just told?
