The fourth and final layer in determining a planet's masculinity or femininity is celestial latitude — a planet's distance north or south of the ecliptic, usually requiring a chart printout or computer to check. North of the ecliptic reads masculine, south reads feminine, stacking on top of sign, solar phase, and quadrant. This closes out the full four-layer framework and gets into what it actually means when the layers clash — a masculine planet buried in extreme feminine conditions can breed frustration and boredom, while a feminine planet in extreme masculine conditions can create real emotional pressure, like a Moon in a masculine sign making it genuinely hard to express feelings openly. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

  1. Celestial latitude is the fourth layer of planetary gender — north of the ecliptic reads masculine, south reads feminine, typically requiring a chart printout to check.
  2. A masculine planet buried in extreme feminine conditions across all four layers can produce real frustration — wanting to move forward but carrying too much weight to do it.
  3. A feminine planet in extreme masculine conditions, like the Moon in a masculine sign, can create genuine emotional pressure and fear around expressing feelings openly.

Transcripts

Speaker A:

So the first step is determining the sign gender of the sign, the planets gender, the sign of the gender.

Speaker A:

The next step would be solar phase.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And then the next step would be a quadrant.

Speaker A:

And then there's one more step in finding out how masculine or how feminine a planet is.

Speaker A:

You probably need a computer to do this.

Speaker A:

But the last layer in determining the gender of a planet is the planet's celestial latitude.

Speaker A:

Like I said, you'll need a computer probably to figure this out.

Speaker A:

But celestial latitude is the distance of a planet north or south of the ecliptic.

Speaker A:

Planets north of the ecliptic are more masculine, while planets south of the ecliptical male, feminine.

Speaker A:

So yeah.

Speaker A:

So you, on a computer, if you could, on your birth chart, if you could, you would have to find out on a, print out the latitude and look at the latitude of the planet.

Speaker A:

If it's a, on a northern, which would be plus, it'll be.

Speaker A:

Plus would be northern, negative would be southern.

Speaker A:

Northern is masculine, southern is feminine.

Speaker A:

So you could have, you could have a masculine planet with an ex in extreme feminine conditions.

Speaker A:

Feminine, feminine latitude, feminine quadrant, feminine sign, you know.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And the gender of a planet influences this expression of the planet.

Speaker A:

It's one of the, it's one of many factors that helps determine the planet's ability to do the things that it's most naturally wants to do.

Speaker A:

Masculine planets in extreme feminine conditions can lead to frustrations and boredom.

Speaker A:

A feeling of wanting to move forward, but you're carrying too much weight.

Speaker A:

Feminine planets in extreme masculine conditions could lead to feeling pressured.

Speaker A:

It could be a source of tension or even an area of fear.

Speaker A:

Emotionally, emotionally fearful of expressing yourself like that.

Speaker A:

The moon, like a moon in a masculine sign, could be expressed as emotionally fearful to express yourself.

Speaker A:

Yeah, like me.

Speaker A:

There you go.
