Why is it masculine?

Viernes is masculine because it derives from Latin "dies Veneris" (day of Venus). In Spanish, the word evolved to adopt the gender of "día" (day), which is masculine. Although "Venus" is feminine in Latin, the grammatical gender of the day name follows the gender of the noun "día" rather than the goddess it references. This is typical for Spanish days of the week, which are all masculine.
