Vrischika was effected by interposing the sign Tula between the two.
The object of this separation will be understood on examining the
meaning of the three signs.

VI. Kanya.--Means a virgin and represents Sakti or Mahamaya. The sign
in question is the sixth Rasi or division, and indicates that there are
six primary forces in Nature. These forces have different sets of names
in Sanskrit philosophy. According to one system of nomenclature, they
are called by the following names*:--(1) Parasakty; (2) Gnanasakti;
(3) Itchasakti (will-power); (4) Kriytisakti; (5) Kundalinisakti; and
(6) Matrikasakti. The six forces are in their unity represented by the
Astral Light.**

attention is deeply concentrated upon it. Similarly an intense volition
