* Dividing the Zodiac Organizing signs that share common ground

by Rebecca Brents

Mixing, matching and grouping the signs

There are several ways to divide the Zodiac signs into different classifications -- based on different criteria. The simplest way assigns gender to the signs. Signs are assessed as either masculine or feminine -- and it has nothing to do with sex. It has to do with temperament. Masculine signs are those who are proactive, assertive and initiating. Feminine signs are passive, receptive and responsive.

In today's climate of political correctness, these long-standing designations can raise a few hackles, but this distinction is standard in the metaphysical world. Personally, I prefer to think of the pairing as yang and yin. That says it perfectly, and if you can go with that -- I invite you to.
