Power (feminine) is the ability to bring various elements and components
together to create energy. For example, power is created when lawmakers come
together to decide governing rules; people forming an alliance have more power
than a single individual in most endeavors. Conversely, authority (masculine) is
the ability to enforce and act upon power. Police officers have the authority to
enforce the law, but do not have the power to create those laws.


Putting this in perspective for this discussion, it is the power of the feminine to
use intuition, to nurture information, and lend emotion, which in turn gives us the
authority to act with wisdom, to lead honorably, and do what is right.


Having masculine traits primarily means that a person is independent and
assertive. This related to high self-esteem and to success in many situations.

Having feminine traits primarily means that a person is nurturant and
interpersonally oriented. Such people therefore, tend to experience greater
social closeness with others.



Both men and women have the ability to express terms used in each column.

People should use traits - as the situation requires.
