THIS WEEKS INSIGHTS - LUNAR AND CYCLE

Hormone & Seed Cycling Guide - Week of 22 Feb 2026

This weeks insights

We’re now in the early days of the waxing moon, just after last weeks New Moon.

This is the build phase.

The energy this week is subtle but forward-moving. After last week’s clearing and finishing, this is where momentum begins to return — but gently. Think steady progress, not urgency.

Seed Cycling with the Moon

If you follow the moon:

You’ve just moved into Phase 1 (Flax + Pumpkin).

This phase supports:

  • Oestrogen pathways
  • Energy building
  • Laying foundations

Think of this week as planting. Not harvesting. Not evaluating. Just beginning.

Real-Life Practical Tips

This phase is about:

  • Taking small action on what matters
  • Rebuilding energy
  • Setting simple structure for the month ahead

You don’t need a dramatic plan. You need clarity and follow-through.

Cycle Syncing Tip

This moon phase mirrors the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.

If you’re in follicular:

  • Energy and optimism may be rising
  • Great week for planning, organising, starting something small

If you’re in luteal or menstrual:

  • Borrow the mental clarity of this week
  • Keep actions manageable
  • Focus on consistency over intensity
