It might be that time/space is yang and space/time is yin, or it might be that time/space is yin and space/time is yang. I lean towards the former hypothesis, but not to the extent of being sure.
So when you mentioned the darkness of time/space, I thought that you were implying that time/space was the yin or passive principle, contrary to my bias towards thinking that time/space is the yang or active principle. That was why I queried you, but I see now that that had nothing to do with what you were saying.
time/space is indeed more passive, more female. for, physicality (and hence movement) is less there, there is less space. but, there is plenty of time.
in space/time, there is less time, but there is plenty of space. everything is not stacked together, like in time/space.
this reflects in their qualities - in time/space emotions and thoughts flow much more rapidly.
however, neither is yin, or yang. its a distribution. time/space and space/time are weighted with either of the facets, but, not exclusively one. they both contain both facets. but, the other facets are scarce in both of them.
