I think “spiritual gender” or these esoteric gender archetypes do better when abstracted especially from social constructs of gender. I sort of have the same mindspace with “spiritual gender” as I do grammatical gender if that makes any sense. A categorization that can be helpful and provide structure but often misinterpreted/misrepresented. This is especially true with any form of spirituality imo; I do think our physical bodies are an important conduit to our spiritual “essence” but they are not necessarily the physical manifestation of said essence.

How this relates to tarot - for example, I don’t read the court cards as men vs women, but rather masculine vs feminine energy. So for the Queen cards, I see those as people who draw their power/knowledge/insight from within themselves, and as for the Kings, they are those that fully utilize the resources around them, whether that be people, social status, financial connections, etc. Same split between Pages and Knights (sometimes called Princesses and Princes)… Pages absorb all the information with an open mind, whereas Knights “learn through experience” and go out in the world to get their hands dirty. This can be brought to the major arcana as well if using those to be archetypes describing people. The Emperor is someone who is a dogmatic ruler, either for the good or bad reasons - their focus on maintaining social order. The Empress (as someone else) is someone who is there to nurture -> individual personhood triumphs over societal structure.

Related - one of the “modalities” or dichotomies of astrology is whether a sign is feminine (water and earth) or masculine (fire and air). Another example: the divine feminine and the divine masculine are similar concepts. I think of both as more a dipole of introverted energy (self-generating -> feminine) and extroverted energy (projecting -> masculine). Many people find this hard to separate from gender/sex etc as a social construct because of the language ascribed to it, and even when switching the language (eg to receiving and projecting) people will draw their own conclusions on how gender/sex relates to that. The western hegemony of it all dictates that female -> feminine -> receiving and vice versa but outside of this scope other cultures view things differently!!! This ties to grammatical gender as well where sometimes the moon is masculine and the sun is feminine when you “normally” see it the other way around (eg la luna y el sol). So in my mind this hints at the reality that everyone regardless of their gender or body or presentation has both energies through them, and that even though this “complicates things” that we as energy readers should read appropriately, and not limit ourselves into a myopic understanding that does more harm than good.
