It is generally accepted that female energy is associated with the Moon, while male energy is dominated by the Sun.
But for harmony in life, your masculine and feminine sides must be in balance.
Read the article to find out what the predominance of “purely” feminine or masculine energy leads to.
May the men forgive me, but today we are not talking about you… but about the excess of masculine/feminine energy in lovely ladies.
If you know yourself well, it will not be difficult for you to determine an imbalance of energy towards the masculine or feminine principle.
How an excess of feminine energy manifests itself
A strong lunar (feminine) principle manifests itself as follows*:
- Inability to express one’s thoughts
- Inability to communicate normally with men
- Passivity when performing leadership tasks
- Excessive emotionality, inability to be objective
- Strong anxiety when making decisions
- Tendency towards uncertainty
- Increased criticality towards oneself and others
- Self-deprecation
- Passive aggression
- The role of a martyr or victim
- Tendency to shift responsibility onto others when making decisions
- Excessive dependence on the opinions of others
- Uncontrollability of feelings
Did you notice the inability to express one’s thoughts and the role of the victim? Let’s take note and move on… to study the skew towards the masculine side.

How I shed masculine power
My favorite phrase, “everything in life should be in harmony and balance,” was earned through personal experience 🙂
Reading the signs of a “skew” toward the masculine or feminine principle, you probably thought that these signs manifest as either-or: either a predominance of the feminine or a predominance of the masculine.
About fifteen years ago, I had an excess of both:
- A pronounced inability to listen, authoritarianism, and total control over men — the solar principle,
- Chaos in the mind, inability to choose between two options, enjoyment of the victim role, and passivity where action was needed — the lunar principle in full glory.
Yes, life was not easy. Yes, I learned to survive, raising a young daughter alone, denying myself everything… There are thousands of such women around…
But the turning point came at the Gaiawatta dances in Moscow:
He has group dances — zikrs — where participants combine specific movements (to shut off the mind) and sing — sometimes men, sometimes women, sometimes all together.
During one of the zikrs, I caught myself thinking that I — so small and thin — LEAD huge men in a paired dance, singing together with men and women.

But what about being weak? Learning to trust men? Not arguing, but accepting?
What I did… I sat down and made a list of actions in which I (according to my understanding at that time) should show weakness.
The list was very simple:
- Not carrying heavy things myself — ask any man to help.
- Not being the first to exit the elevator/minibus — let a man do it first and offer me his hand 🙂
- Not insisting on my opinion in a conversation with a man.
- Learn to accept that a man will NEVER do it the way I would… and resign myself to it in advance.
The list is probably incomplete, too much time has passed since then…
But I remember well how difficult each step was for me… Especially asking strangers for help 🙂
But it worked!

If you have found signs of a predominance of masculine or feminine energy in yourself and know that they cause difficulties in your life, perhaps it is time to balance and harmonize YOURSELF?!
