A fresh cycle begins. New moon energy.
The new moon arrived yesterday — and with it, a clean slate. This is the most potent time in the lunar cycle for setting intentions, starting fresh, and planting seeds (literally). Phase 1 begins now. Flax and pumpkin all week.
Flax and pumpkin, all week.
You've switched to Phase 1 — and this is where you stay for the next two weeks. One scoop of your Phase 1 blend every morning. Sprinkle it on yoghurt, blend it into a smoothie, stir it through porridge. Simple.
Phase 1 seeds are rich in lignans and zinc, which support healthy oestrogen levels during the first half of your cycle. Flax seeds in particular contain phytoestrogens that help your body find its natural balance.
Phase 1 seeds (Flax + Pumpkin) every day this week. One scoop. No switch.
Plant your seeds. Build momentum.
The waxing crescent is the first visible sliver of the new moon — a sign that the cycle is growing. Energy begins to return after the quiet of last week. This is the time to start things, not finish them.
Set one intention for this lunar cycle. Start a new habit, revisit a goal, or simply commit to showing up for yourself daily. The waxing crescent rewards action — even small, quiet action.
Energy is building. Set one intention for this cycle and take the first step.
Your week, mapped out
Begin again. Build slowly.
The new moon reset the cycle. This week is about planting seeds — in your body and in your life — and letting momentum build naturally.
Lean into the fresh start
New moon energy is quiet but powerful. You don't need to announce your intentions to the world — just commit to them privately. Write down one thing you want this cycle. Put it somewhere you'll see it daily.
Support your Phase 1 seeds
Phase 1 seeds work best alongside foods rich in omega-3s and cruciferous vegetables. Think salmon, broccoli, kale, and cauliflower this week. These support the oestrogen metabolism that your flax and pumpkin seeds are working on.
Move your body — gently at first
As energy returns after the new moon, ease back into movement. Walking, yoga, pilates — anything that feels good without pushing too hard. By mid-week, you'll likely feel ready for more. Let your body lead.
Not following the moon? Use your cycle.
If you have a regular menstrual cycle, you can sync your seeds directly to your period instead of the moon — and many women find this even more effective.
Phase 1 (Flax + Pumpkin) starts on Day 1 of your period and runs through to ovulation — roughly the first half of your cycle. These seeds support oestrogen production as your body builds toward ovulation.
Phase 2 (Sesame + Sunflower) begins post ovulation and runs through to your next period. These seeds support progesterone in the second half of your cycle.
If your cycle is irregular or absent — common with PCOS, perimenopause, or coming off the pill — following the moon gives you a consistent rhythm while your body finds its pattern.

Phase does this every day.
Phase is our free seed cycling companion app. It tells you which seeds to eat today, tracks your cycle or the moon, and gives you personalised guidance for every phase — updated daily, not weekly.
