Depending on how it's used, diēs can be either masculine or feminine. According to the Oxford Latin Dictionary, it is generally masculine, but "frequently or usually" feminine when it is personified as a deity, when it refers to a specific day (e.g., the date of a letter, or an appointed day for business), when it refers to the passing of time, "and occasionally elsewhere." Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar further notes that although diēs is "common" (i.e., both masculine and feminine) in the singular, it is masculine in the plural.
