For the common passive scholarly reader, this is where those Planetary Sphere’s associations come in handy. Because we know that the Yesod, is related to the Moon, Luna, Selena, we follow the pattern with Yesod being Feminine. Tiphareth is associated with the Sun, Apollo, Helios, we see it is associated with Masculinity. However, for those interested in doing a deep dive, we quickly realize the depth of the complexity standing before us. In the Jewish Kabbalah the gender associations of each Sephira comes from the Divine Personas also called the Partzufim. There are the Primary and Secondary Partzufim.

However, due to the appropriation nature of the Hermetic Qabbalah, we don’t usually have those knowledge lectures. In modern times we get the mix of attempts to correct this lack of shared sacred knowledge and the blended attempts to claim the Sephiroth as our own and create our own conclusions and reasoning. The gender associations of each Sephira is inherent within itself through the Divine Personas and is not limited to the gender of it’s associated Planetary Sphere or Divine Names. Many Practitioners are satiated with gender associations pulled from with the Planetary associations or the Divine Names. Because of this missing link of the Partzufim, you will find variations of the gender associations within the Hermetic Qabbalah. This gives us the following:

1. Yesod has also been claimed to have both Masculine & Feminine associations . The Primary Partzufim from Chesed to Yesod is associated with Masculinity in Jewish Kabbalah.
2. Adonai ha-Aretz is Neuter plural, however in both Hermetic & Jewish Traditions Malkuth has the Feminine Divine Personas.
