Did you know why the moon is male in some languages and female in others? Let me tell you.. In French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, the Moon is female and the Sun is male; in German, Dutch and Polish, the Moon is male and the Sun is female. Just as an example. The Greek Hermetics says: “… everything has male and female elements, gender reveals itself on all levels.” The female, receiving principle can be ascribed to the moon, the male, creative principle to the sun. But there are also other male moon gods and female sun goddesses. For example, there is a god named Mani from Norse mythology. It is worthwhile to look at the individual cultures, times and languages in order to understand why the moon is male in one culture and female in the other. In my mothertongue the moon is male and the sun is female. But the gods and goddesses I know are exactly the opposite sex. Only when I took a closer look at it I understood a part of it. If you add the Chinese idea of the Yin & Yan principle, it doesn’t really matter what gender the planet moon and star sun actually are. Because yin & yang stand for interrelated principles.
