Symbolically, I see masculine energy as the Arrow or Sword (or Spear of Heaven etc), which is momentum, thrust, speed, and the feminine as the Cup or Ring (or Bow/Crescent/Arch), which wraps, holds, cradles. in dualism/separation, the Arrow without the wrap becomes force, aggression, control, and the Cup without the momentum becomes stagnancy, weakness and decay. When they are merged, the Arrow is drawn to the Ring, and the Ring funnels around the Arrow, with no separation; this generates vortex motion - the Spiral of Life, seen in galaxies, atoms, Phi ratio, fibonacci sequence, sunflower centres, shells, DNA, the rose and so on. Fusion/union is the basis of all Life....and Love is the frequency of union...
