Why is it masculine?

Lunes is masculine because it derives from Latin "lunae dies" (day of the moon), where "dies" (day) is masculine, and this masculine gender persisted when the word evolved into Spanish. In Romance languages, the days of the week inherited the gender of the Latin noun "dies" rather than "luna" (feminine), which is why all Spanish weekdays are masculine.
