Have you ever noticed that some weeks your energy is high and your skin is radiant, while other weeks the simple act of leaving the house seems like a huge effort? This is a result of the different phases of your menstrual cycle, also known as the “inner moon”. If you learn to align your schedule with the energies of these phases, you will be able to respect your body and enhance your productivity, well-being and self-care.

Explore the Potential of Your Menstrual Cycle: How to Use the Phases to Maximize Results

Just as the outer Moon follows a cycle of approximately 30 days with four phases, the menstrual cycle also follows this natural pattern, reflecting the energies of the inner Moon.

1. Menstrual Phase (New Moon)
The menstrual phase is the perfect time for rest and reflection. During your period, your physical energy levels are at their lowest, making it the best time for introspection. Slow down and dedicate yourself to self-care, listening to your body and setting intentions for the new cycle.

2. Follicular Phase (Waxing Moon)
This phase carries a high-vibration energy, marked by renewal and preparation for new stages. After menstruation, your body begins to regenerate, and your energy begins to be externalized. Take advantage of this phase to put your projects into action, increase productivity and focus on your goals.

3. Ovulation (Full Moon)
Energetically, ovulation is your peak of personal power. It’s when your body releases pheromones that make you more attractive and magnetic. This is the ideal time for introductions, collaborations and attracting what you desire. Take advantage of this phase to expand your social network, communicate and achieve your goals.

4. Luteal Phase (Waning Moon)
During the luteal phase, emotions can run high, especially with the onset of PMS. The energy is more introspective and asks you to focus on completing tasks and getting organized. It’s the best time to take care of unfinished business and do some mental and emotional “cleansing.”

Aligning Your Energy with the Outer Moon
Although your menstrual cycle does not always coincide with the external lunar phases, it is important to observe your internal moon and understand what energetic phase you are in. This alignment will allow you to adjust your schedule and optimize your days based on the energies of your own nature.

Deepen Your Self-Knowledge with the Lunar Cycle
Whether you are in menopause, have had a hysterectomy or are a trans woman, observing the phases of the outer moon can be a powerful tool for understanding your emotional patterns and adjusting to your needs.
