Because feminine here represents birthing the apple via solely the nutrients readily available without going and getting. Just to sit and receive. The very receptive energy that it has no choice in the matter to only take in what it’s given and then alchemist it into the flower the fruit. With the enlightened knowledge that the energy put into what it has created comes back through the circle of life whether it’s eaten off the tree or falls dead to the dirt to be decomposed either way it comes back to the cycle in the dirt rain and air. And the sunlight is hopefully naturally being provided but this feminine metaphor remains that in a poor environment the feminine is born into has no chance but to suffer. Unless it goes into masculine:
The masculine being not to “create” life or organic matter or nutrient fruit but to “build” with tools something sturdy and durable like a house a room etc. a place that cannot organically be birthed from the immediate given resources. Because the resources have to be gathered, found, adjusted/manipulated, joined etc. an outside force in necessary both in creating and in destroying unlike the organic matter which can easily decompose without intentional intervention. Organic birthed matter decomposes but matter that has been altered from its original state becomes less and less compostable the more it is altered.
