This is because of the need for Nukva to embody Judgment – but that it should be mitigated… In truth both these two aspects are required in Nukva in order for her to govern properly. She has to embody Judgment, because the very foundation of Nukva is the rule of Judgment – as required in this world – through the power of BaN and the Strengths of Daat. On the other hand Nukva’s Judgments must be mitigated, for it is not fitting to run the world with Harsh Judgment since that is destructive Judgment, whereas the world needs mitigated Judgment – the sweetened Judgment that gives rise to joy and the intense excitement of love, as explained in the Zohar (Idra Zuta 296b; see Opening 52).
