There are two energies – Purusha and Prakriti. It’s believed that from Purusha (male energy), prakriti (female energy) manifested. Possible this can also symbolize the Adam and Eve concept. First came Adam and from within him, he created Eve.

This clearly means that the Feminine nature is equally important and more important because if you have only masculine nature, you will limit to the state of “only being responsible as a source of this creation” but you cannot experience the creation (feminine nature) without Prakriti.

That’s why the female energy is extremely important and very powerful (Shakti). Some one who wields Power can achieve what ever they want. Goddess Parvati was attracted to Lord shiva & she did many things to “woo him”, hence the term “woman”. The qualities of women as per their zodiac signs –
