Seed Cycling with Moon Phases: Sync Your Cycle Naturally

Women have long been connected to the rhythms of the moon. In fact, the average menstrual cycle mirrors the lunar cycle in length—about 28 to 29 days. But what if your cycle isn’t regular, or you’re in perimenopause or menopause? This is where syncing your seed cycling with the moon phases can offer powerful support. It’s a holistic, nature-based approach to balancing hormones, guided by lunar energy and your body’s intuition.
Why Sync Seed Cycling with the Moon?
Hormones fluctuate through your cycle. But for women with irregular periods, hormonal shifts can feel unpredictable. The lunar cycle offers a stable, external rhythm to follow. By aligning seed cycling with the new moon and full moon, you can:
-
Support oestrogen and progesterone balance
-
Create hormonal predictability and routine
-
Feel more spiritually and emotionally connected to your cycle
Whether your cycle is irregular, absent, or changing with age, the moon can act as your guide.
Phase 1: New Moon to Full Moon — Follicular Support
This phase mirrors the follicular phase of your cycle (Day 1 to ovulation), when oestrogen is rising. Even if you’re not menstruating regularly, the new moon is your energetic 'Day 1'.
Seed Cycle Phase 1 Blend: Ground, Organic Flaxseeds & Pumpkin Seeds
-
Flaxseeds: Rich in lignans and omega-3s to support oestrogen metabolism and hormonal harmony.
-
Pumpkin Seeds: High in zinc, supporting progesterone production for the upcoming luteal phase.
-
Also a source of magnesium, iron, and B vitamins for mood, energy, and clarity.
Use this blend from the new moon to the full moon to promote balanced oestrogen and emotional grounding.
Phase 2: Full Moon to New Moon — Luteal Support
This lunar phase aligns with the luteal phase (ovulation to menstruation), when progesterone becomes dominant. Begin Phase 2 at the full moon.

Use this blend from the full moon to the new moon to promote calming, stabilising hormone support.
Why This Works for Irregular Cycles or Menopause
If your menstrual cycle is irregular or you're in perimenopause or menopause, seed cycling with the moon phases gives your body a steady rhythm to follow. It:
-
Balances oestrogen and progesterone naturally
-
Reduces hot flashes, irritability, brain fog, and mood shifts
-
Supports bone, heart, and thyroid health through essential micronutrients
This makes it ideal for women transitioning out of their reproductive years, while still prioritising hormonal wellness.

To follow the lunar rhythm:
-
New Moon = Start Phase 1 seeds (flax & pumpkin)
-
Full Moon = Switch to Phase 2 seeds (sesame & sunflower)

Use journaling to monitor symptoms and emotional patterns
