A Blue Moon is a rare occurance when two full moons fall in the same calendar month. This is a Super Blue Moon - being 360,000 kilometres of the Earth appearing larger, 'super'. It will be 13 years before this Pisces Super Blue Moon occurs again. The next Blue Moon will be May 2026, and the next Super Blue Moon in August 2032. This is an invitation to connect to the rare, subtle, qualities of our inner energetics and guidance. - JF.

MY MOON POWER

The menstrual cycle contains four main phases that can be likened to seasons of the year or phases of the moon.

Plant botanicals hold the power to support the body physically and emotionally during each phase of the  cycle. Our botanical blends bring a dose of daily self-care to connect, balance, renew and to nourish. Understanding the cycles that govern our bodies and emotions isn't just about physical and mental health; it's about self-awareness. By connecting with the natural rhythms of our bodies, we can tap into insights that may help us navigate daily life more thoughtfully. ⁠

If you’re menstruating, follow your inner seasons and if you’re menopausal or not menstruating, be guided by the phases of the moon to discover the wisdom that lies within uncovering the power of your cyclical nature.

Menstruation Phase
Dark Moon
Your Inner Winter
“Now is the moment to retreat, release, rest and receive”

INTUITION

The menstruation phase begins when you start bleeding; levels of hormones oestrogen and progesterone drop and the uterus lining sheds. The dark moon phase is when the moon is hidden by the sun's brightness and the dark night sky is illuminated only by stars.

Whilst in your menstruation phase, your energy naturally draws inwards. The same happens as the moon darkens. Gather the month behind you with its lessons, pleasures and pains to release and make space for rest, retreat and insight. Allow two minutes and connect to our daily ritual, to leave you feeling calm, grounded and in your power.

Make space for yourself during this sacred time. Start with five minutes for just you-time. If you can, unapologetically rearrange engagements and honour yourself with long baths, extra sleep, gentle walks in nature, self-massage, meditations and nourishing whole foods.

Follicular Phase
Waxing Moon
Your Inner Spring
“Now is the moment to welcome new energy and opportunity”

CONNECTION

After you’ve finished bleeding, oestrogen rises as an egg prepares to be released during the follicular phase. The energy of the follicular phase or waxing moon inspires new growth.

This is the time for inspiration, insight and opportunity. You could feel a sense of renewal, regeneration and evolving energy. This is time to begin your projects, set new goals and play.
The waxing moon can be noticed as a beautiful slither of light growing from darkness towards full illumination. You too may be growing in energy and enthusiasm - you have shed the old during the winter phase, now is time to start afresh.

In this phase, honour yourself by exploring new ideas, creations and intentions that you’d like to plant and cultivate. This is a great time for connecting with ideas you’d like to seed and projects you’d like to initiate.

Ovulation Phase
Full Moon
Your Inner Summer
“Now is the moment to embrace and celebrate yourself”

CREATION

During ovulation oestrogen peaks and an egg is released with the potential to be fertilised. When full, the moon is at its brightest, illuminating the dark night sky. This is time to create - be that babies, ideas or projects. Time to celebrate, manifest, stand out and shine!

Energy can be heightened during ovulation or the full moon and you are most likely connected to the world around you. This can be a time when you feel magnetic, radiant and sensual.

Honour this phase of your cycle by celebrating yourself - have a party, be deeply present with loved ones, hold meetings and allow projects and ideas to gather momentum.

Rose - Divine feminine mysteries, heart opening, eternal beauty

Luteal Phase
Waning Moon
Your Inner Autumn
“Now is the moment to surrender into self-care and deeper truths”

TRANSFORMATION

Levels of oestrogen dip after the peak of ovulation. The moon is waning, retreating and moving towards its dark phase.

Energy is pulling inwards and retreating during the time of the luteal and waning moon phases the inner critic may rise. Honour this part of your cycle with curiosity, non-judgement and self-care practices.

Meditative and active movements like swimming and yoga can be supportive. Call on loved ones who you know will affirm, reassure and lift you up. Clean, organise and prepare your living space for Inner Winter.

This hormonal and lunar shift can give rise to changes in our emotions, energy, mood and perspective. Self-care and being aware of your triggers is a priority. Everything can be magnified. This is a powerful time for seeing things clearly and not putting up with things in your life that do not serve you. Take two minutes to stop and breathe with a daily ritual.

Frankincense - sacredness, purification, higher connection
