Yang

Yang, the active charge, covers the fire and air signs: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. These six share an outward orientation, moving their energy into the world through action, expression, and engagement. Everyone carries both charges somewhere in their chart. Active signs tend to initiate rather than wait. They express themselves readily, reach toward people and situations, and direct their attention outward. Fire does this through enthusiasm and drive, air through ideas and communication. A person with strong active emphasis often comes across as expressive, spontaneous, and ready to put themselves forward. Where the active charge dominates and the receptive is thin, a person can grow restless or overextended, acting before pausing to reflect or take things in. A healthy chart draws on both. This charge also goes by the names masculine, positive, and active. Counting how many placements fall in yang signs, against those in yin ones, gives a quick sense of whether a person leans toward outward action.
