**This thread open to all, not just those interested in astrology.**

It is said that everything is male or female, yin or yang.

Day and Night.  Higher and Lower.  Soft and receptive, or hard and fixed.  Sun and Moon.

How does this apply to things in your life?  Or does it?  Can something be both?

What kinds of things would you consider to be Yin?  Or Yang?  Or do you think that there is such a quick, easy way to label everything?

I found this and just HAD to share it, "The relationship between yin and yang is often described in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and in the valley. Yin (literally the 'shady place' or 'north slope') is the dark area occluded by the mountain's bulk,
while yang (literally the 'sunny place' or 'south slope') is the brightly lit portion.
As the sun moves across the sky, yin and yang gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed.

Yin is usually characterized as slow, soft, insubstantial, diffuse, cold, wet, and tranquil. It is generally associated with the feminine, birth and generation, and with the night.
Yang, by contrast, is characterized as hard, fast, solid, dry, focused, hot, and aggressive. It is associated with masculinity and daytime."

I had to really think about it cause I was having a conflict of views. Because while I completely agree with the above extract there is something niggling at the back of my mind.
After some thought I decided that at the highest level, the level that is parallel to the source, maybe even at the source level, there is no difference, it is all just ONE.

Then as you take the next step down then variations start to appear, such as things having maybe just a little bit more of a masculine vibe or a feminine vibe (yang and yin respectively).

But I do think that there is an equal balance in all things and its external factors that would cause something to maybe lean a little bit more to the one side or the other?? hummm now I'm confusing myself.

Is it possible to have all three views?? hahahaha!!

i don't know if there is a quick easy way to label everything, I think one would have to take in the circumstances around it. Something could be yin the one moment and the next all of a sudden yang. I think it also depends on who is looking at it too and the external factors and/or circumstances acting on that person?

Thats my 2cents

Rosered...I am not reading your posts...you make my thoughts bias.

I went googling and reached the circle sign...'Opposing forces bound together'

Male + female = Whole/Creation/Child.

Every thing natural...human,plants,nature, living being have qulaities of Yin and Yang. It could be within ( balanced self) or with others ( outside).There are people whom you connect with immediately must be certain yin qualities within self connecting with the others yang qualities ( close friends )or viceversa.
Now Yin and yang can be withing self too to make a complete whole.

Since I assume that Sun is the male and Moon the female.....irrespective what roles they play it would be really nice if you could share your thoughts on the astro indicators.

SS

HAHAHAHA!!! I know exactly what you mean soulsearch!!! thats what i did with the 4 element thing...i first did my version and then i went back and read yours! heehee No worries!


I really like that!!
Could you possible maybe post that sign you found?


I'm not sure if I really understand properly what you mean here, is it like the way crystals work?
Okay let me explain my thought process a little better, crystals have a certain mineral composition say silica, calcium and carbon for example, the mix in the crystal for example is x amount of silica, y amount of calcium and z amount of carbon is almost like a little mini DNA structure, that specific mix has a certain vibration. Its a unique mix.
So when you hold that crystal then the crystal resonates with all the silica, calcium and carbon in your body.
Allowing you to feel the vibration and for healing to occur.

So are you kinda saying that when you connect with someone its almost like you're resonating with the same yin and yang balance? Or maybe the exact opposite yin/yang balance and thats why you are drawn to that person?
Urg don't know if I'm explaining myself very well over here heehee
help!

Thank you for sharing about the crystals used as healing. Healing ( creating balance) through planets/charts is something that has been something that has intrigued me...nothing more.

What I maybe meant was and I could be  totally wrong (as been asked to rework on my perceptions)......maybe a balanced person would connect with everybody but then if the balanced person is really balanced then why would there be a connection requirement. It is as simple as it may be or as complicated as one wants it to be...

Hope I am not kicked out of the class for talking/thinking  too much....
