I think it depends on whether we're talking about mind, body, or spirit -- matrix of the mind is male, but of the body is female. I'm not sure who does the reaching with the body, though. Ra says that the matrix of the body is in motion with no possibility of stopping (paraphrasing from memory) and needs the stillness of the sage (card 9) for potentiation. So in that case, who is reaching?
