Period Cycles & the Moon?

Just like the moon, the menstrual cycle follows a natural rhythm, typically around 28 days. Across cultures and generations, people have noticed the deep, almost mystical connection between the phases of the moon and the phases of the period cycle.

This cyclical dance reminds us that our bodies are not linear — they are fluid, intuitive, and deeply attuned to nature. Living in sync with the moon can help us honour our own inner tides, embrace each phase with compassion, and reconnect with the wisdom of our flow.

• New moon is often linked with menstruation a time for rest, renewal, and turning inward.

• As the waxing moon grows, it mirrors the follicular phase, when energy and creativity rise.

• The full moon aligns with ovulation, a peak of outward energy, clarity, and connection.

• Finally, the waning moon reflects the luteal phase, a time to slow down, reflect, and prepare to release again.

Have you ever paused to notice how your body’s rhythm mirrors the moon’s phases?

We believe menstruation is more than a monthly event, it’s a sacred rhythm that mirrors the natural world. In ancient traditions, from the moon lodges of Native American tribes to the blood mysteries of the Celtic and Mayan people, menstruation was seen as a powerful spiritual gateway. Bleeding women were often invited to retreat, rest, and receive vision, honoured for their intuition and connection to the Earth’s wisdom. Today, practices like Wicca, tantra, and goddess-based spirituality still honour the menstrual cycle linking with the moon’s phases. Even science is catching up, studies suggest that before modern lighting disrupted our natural cues, many women ovulated with the full moon and menstruated with the new, with melatonin and hormone levels responding to lunar light. This isn’t just poetic, it’s biological, cosmic, and deeply human. Reclaiming this awareness is part of returning to our inner flow, our body’s quiet knowing, and the ancient cycles that still live in us, even when the world forgets. Let's keep remembering that we are nature too.
