Introvert and Extrovert Indicators in the Birth Chart
Most people may quickly identify whether they are meant to be an introvert or an extrovert according to their Sun sign, but surprisingly or maybe not surprisingly, there are multiple indicators or layers of indicators that can be demonstrated in the birth chart aside from the Sun sign’s polarity. In this post, I will cover these different indicators.
Yes, your Sun sign is actually a strong indicator, but I would like to further elaborate on this with masculine and feminine decans. I actually made a short post on this in the past which you can read here. Basically, there is a theory that each sign can be divided in a masculine and feminine decan. When you have a luminary in a sign (for example, Aries) there may be a sub-influence to this planet by the decan. So in the case of a luminary in Aries, though Aries is a masculine sign, the luminary could fall into the feminine decan of this sign. This doesn’t take away from the fact that Aries is a masculine/active influence, but it becomes distinguishable when separated by two sub-influences. The Ascendant is another placement that can be looked at for this sub-influence as well.
The first 15 degrees of a masculine sign is masculine and the last 15 degrees is feminine. The opposite is of course seen in feminine signs starting feminine and ending masculine (November Scorpios REALLY are different from October Scorpios hmm…).
The next layer of indication can be observed by whether the chart is a day or night chart and the condition of the ruling luminary. Day charts are ruled by the Sun and night charts are ruled by the Moon.
Day charts (Sun above the ascending line) with the Moon above the ascending line indicate more extroverted energy.
Day charts (Sun above the ascending line) with the Moon below the ascending line may indicate either ambiverted or extroverted energy.
Night charts (Sun below the ascending line) with the Moon below the ascending line indicate more introverted energy.
Night charts (Sun below the ascending line) with the Moon above the ascending line may indicate either ambiverted or introverted energy.
Northern and Southern Hemisphere Emphasis
The final layer of indication I want to mention is hemisphere emphasis. We can observe where there is an emphasis of planets located in the chart having correlation to whether someone may be more introverted or extroverted.
The top half of the chart (marked in red) is considered the Southern hemisphere. When most of an individual’s planets occupy the Southern hemisphere, they are more focused on themselves in relation to the world, relationships, and the public. Overall, a Southern hemisphere emphasis makes one leaning more towards extroverted.
The bottom half of the chart (marked in blue) is considered the Northern hemisphere. When most of an individual’s planets are occupied here, they are more focused inwardly on themselves, close relationships such as family, hobbies, and private activities. Overall this often makes one more introverted.
Personal planets especially pre-occupying one of these hemispheres makes a big impact on having either introverted or extroverted energy.
There are of course other indicators, such as aspects to the luminaries, condition of the chart ruler, specific house emphasis and so on, but the three categories mentioned are going to be the biggest indicators. Are you introverted or extroverted and is it indicated in your chart based on these?
