There’s a rhythm to your body, a pulse that mirrors the earth, the moon, and the sacred seasons and when you learn to move with it instead of against it? Life becomes less of a grind and more of a dance.

One of the simplest and most powerful ways to connect with your menstrual cycle and energetic flow is by creating a Menstrual Wheel.
It’s not just about tracking your period, it’s about understanding the emotional, creative, sensual and intuitive layers that live within your hormonal blueprint.

Your cycle is not a curse, it’s a map of your power.

What is a Menstrual Wheel?
A Menstrual Wheel is a circular chart divided into four quadrants, each one representing a distinct phase of your cycle.
It mirrors the four inner seasons, the four feminine archetypes, and often, the four primary phases of the lunar cycle as well.

Think of it as a monthly mandala, a tool for self-reflection, ritual, planning and embodiment.
By mapping your energy, emotions, and insights throughout the month, you begin to reclaim rhythm.
You stop forcing yourself to be in "summer mode" all month, and instead honour your natural ebb and flow.

Phase 1: Menstruation (Days 1–6)
Inner Winter | Archetype: The Priestess
Element: Water | Season: Winter

This is the bleeding phase. Your body is releasing, your hormones are at their lowest, and your energy turns inward.
You may feel tired, sensitive, or deeply intuitive.
This is a sacred time for rest, reflection, and restoration.

Your womb is shedding, and with it, anything you’re ready to let go of, physically or emotionally.

Practices:

• Rest. Retreat. Say no.

• Journal or dreamtrack (intuition peaks here!)

• Drink warm, iron-rich broths or teas

• Use this time to receive visions and guidance

Keywords: Rest • Insight • Dreaming • Release • Stillness

Phase 2: Follicular (Days 7–13)
Inner Spring | Archetype: The Maiden
Element: Air | Season: Spring

As oestrogen begins to rise, so does your energy.
This is a time of new beginnings, creativity and inspiration.
You may feel clearer, lighter, and more motivated to get things moving.

This is a beautiful window for planning, learning, and playfulness.

Practices:

• Begin new projects or set intentions

• Move your body gently—walk, dance, stretch

• Eat fresh, vibrant foods

• Allow curiosity to guide your day

Keywords: Clarity • Creativity • Optimism • Planning • Uplift

Phase 3: Ovulation (Days 14–17)
Inner Summer | Archetype: The Lover or Erotic Mother
Element: Fire | Season: Summer

Ovulation is your peak vitality phase.
Your energy is magnetic, your confidence is high, and your communication skills are sharp.
Biologically, your body is primed for fertility—but energetically, you’re ripe for connection, expression and leadership.

This is the time to shine.
To share your voice, show up boldly, and enjoy pleasure in all forms.

Practices:

• Socialise, collaborate, or speak your truth

• Have important conversations

• Try sensual movement or embodied dance

• Celebrate your power and your body

Keywords: Radiance • Magnetism • Fertility • Expression • Embodiment

Phase 4: Luteal (Days 18–28)
Inner Autumn | Archetype: The Wild Woman or Enchantress
Element: Earth | Season: Autumn

This is your pre-menstrual phase—the descent.
Progesterone rises, then falls.
Your energy begins to wane and your inner world calls for attention.

This is often when emotions surface, boundaries are tested, and deeper truths are revealed.
You’re not broken.
You’re becoming more honest.

This is your time to edit, refine, complete, and prepare to release.

Practices:

• Say no more often. Honour your limits.

• Write down what you’re letting go of

• Bathe in water or journal by candlelight

• Practice womb massage or self-holding rituals

Keywords: Reflection • Boundaries • Truth • Surrender • Shadow

Moon & Menstrual Cycles: What’s the Connection?
Your menstrual cycle may or may not align with the moon’s cycle—and both are perfect.

But traditionally:

• Bleeding with the New Moon (Red Moon Cycle) often aligns with women on a healing, intuitive, or mystical path—focused inward.

• Bleeding with the Full Moon (White Moon Cycle) is often seen in women who are outward-facing, nurturing, and focused on fertility or creative birthing.

Your alignment may shift throughout your life depending on your seasons and focus.
Rather than trying to force sync, just observe what nature is reflecting to you.

How to Make Your Own Menstrual Wheel
You’ll need:

• A large piece of paper or whiteboard

• A plate or circular object to trace

• Markers or coloured pens

• Your cycle tracking data (you can start today!)

Instructions:

1. Trace your circle. Divide it into 28 segments (or however long your cycle tends to be).

2. Group the segments into 4 quadrants for each phase.

3. Label the quadrants with:

   • Archetype

   • Season

   • Keywords

   • Emotions or physical symptoms you notice

4. Add notes each day: mood, energy, insights, libido, intuition, dreams, etc.

5. Optional: Track how your cycle aligns with the moon phases

This isn’t just a chart.
It’s your monthly mirror.

Final Thoughts: Your Cycle Is a Portal
When you begin to live in rhythm with your womb, you stop fighting yourself.
You stop asking why you’re “tired all of a sudden,” or “not feeling like socialising,” or “so emotional.”
And you start seeing the deeper wisdom beneath the wave.

Your cycle is not linear—it’s spiral wisdom.
And your Menstrual Wheel can help you remember how to live, create, rest and rise again, in tune with your wild feminine nature.
