We&#8217;ve been called lunatic, as if that meant unstable or irrational. But the truth is different: we are not erratic or unpredictable; we are cyclical. And yes, we are lunatic&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;because we are deeply connected to the moon and its phases</p><h3>The Moon and Our Cycle: An Ancestral Connection</h3><p>Our menstrual cycle lasts about 28 days, just like the moon cycle. Ancient cultures saw women as reflections of the moon, going through different phases that influenced their energy, intuition, and emotions. Each menstrual phase aligns with a phase of the moon:</p><p>&#127761; New Moon&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;Menstruation (Inner Winter) &#8594; A time for introspection, rest, and renewal.</p><p>&#127762; Waxing Moon&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;Follicular Phase (Inner Spring) &#8594; Energy rises, creativity sparks, and motivation increases.</p><p>&#127765; Full Moon&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;Ovulation (Inner Summer) &#8594; Peak confidence, magnetism, and social energy.</p><p>&#127766; Waning Moon&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;Luteal Phase (Inner Autumn) &#8594; A time for reflection, heightened sensitivity, and the need to release.</p><p>It&#8217;s no coincidence that women are associated with the moon. Our nature is not linear like the sun&#8217;s; it is rhythmic and ever-changing, like the tides.</p><h3>For Men: When You Call Us &#8220;Lunatic&#8221;</h3><p>If you&#8217;ve ever said &#8220;You&#8217;re being lunatic&#8221; in a dismissive way, here&#8217;s something to think about:</p><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">The moon moves entire oceans, affects the tides, and has guided navigators for centuries. We, like the moon, have a cyclical and powerful energy. Being &#8220;lunatic&#8221; is not an insult&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;it&#8217;s a reminder that we are women in constant evolution. Instead of using that word to invalidate us, observe us, listen to us, and learn to understand us.</pre></div><h3>For Women: Embracing Our Lunacy with Love]</h3><p>It&#8217;s time to embrace our nature without fear or shame. Yes, we are lunatic because we change, because we feel deeply, because our energy is not the same every day. And that is a gift, not a weakness.</p><p>Being lunatic means being connected to intuition, creativity, and the rhythm of life itself. It gives us the power to renew, to grow, to shine at our peak, and to retreat when we need to.</p><p>So the next time someone calls you lunatic, instead of feeling offended, smile and say:</p><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">&#8220;Yes, I am. Like the moon, I have my phases. And in each one, I am powerful.&#8221;</pre></div><p>Have you noticed how your energy shifts with your cycle or the moon?
