through gentle nurturing, time and observation your cycle is your superpower.
moondays pays homage to the naturally occurring, four-phase hormonal cycle of the bleeders by linking each hormonal phase with a season:
ovulatory / summer
luteal / autumn
menstrual / winter
follicular / spring
a seasonal approach to self-care and understanding the four-phase hormonal cycle is a creative way of learning, nuturing and celebrating the natural rhythms of our bodies as bleeders.
the full rotation of the four phases subtly shifts according to our lifestyle choices and can be anywhere between 21 to 35 days with an average of 28 to 29 days mirroring the 29.5 day rotation of the lunar phase cycle.
the seasonal self-care chart maps the rise and fall of a menstruator’s naturally occurring hormones > estradiol estrogen, progesterone, lutinising hormone (lh) and follicle stimulating hormone (fsh). by mapping where these hormones take place in the cycle a menstruator can take full advantage of the waxing and waning of their energy levels.
