As a Spanish speaker, I often correlate grammatical gender with biological in my mind, even for inanimate nouns. The table ("la mesa") is somehow feminine, the phone ("el teléfono") is not. Casting nymph symbology aside or whatever, I'd intuitevely personify stars ("las estrellas") as women rather than men. Same goes for plants and herbs (la planta, la hierba).

Do German speakers picture a star as masculine (ein Stern), somehow?
