The cross expresses the union of the two principles. To understand the cross is to be able to bring the masculine and the feminine into play

"Diagrammatically a cross (+) is nothing but a meeting of a vertical and a horizontal line. These lines represent two forces, two opposite directions, which meet to produce the union of two principles, masculine - the vertical line, and feminine - the horizontal line. The cross expresses the union of the two principles. To understand the cross is to be able to bring the masculine and the feminine into play, the positive and the negative. You will say: ‘But how do we bring them into play? And is it so important?' As important as knowing how to use fire and water, which equally represent the two principles, masculine - fire, and feminine - water. Imagine you did not know! You would be deprived of so many opportunities. Think of all the things you can do simply by knowing how to use fire and water. It is the union of the two principles which creates motion. And consider also the wheel. What is a wheel? It is a cross in motion."
