The Red Moon Cycle invites a deeper connection between your menstrual rhythm and lunar phases, where bleeding aligns with the full moon and ovulation with the new moon. Rooted in ancient folklore, this pattern symbolizes outward creativity, leadership, and wisdom—contrasting the introspective White Moon Cycle (bleeding on the new moon). While science shows no direct lunar influence on cycles (modern factors like light and stress dominate), tracking alongside the moon fosters self-awareness, revealing energy patterns and hormonal shifts.
Map your phases: New moon for restful menstruation (low estrogen/progesterone), waxing for follicular energy boosts, full moon for ovulatory peaks, and waning for luteal reflection. Journal symptoms, use apps, and note biomarkers like basal body temperature or mucus changes over 3-6 months. Postpartum? Cycles may drift; start gentle rituals for realignment.
Incorporate self-care: Prioritize iron-rich foods during bleeds, strength training in follicular phases, and restorative yoga luteally. For seamless support, Saalt's period pants and period underwear offer eco-friendly absorbency. Pair with leakproof panties for active days or a menstrual disc for customizable comfort—PFAS-free and sustainable. Embrace your cycle's wisdom; let lunar tracking empower holistic wellness, backed by reliable protection.
