A woman is cyclical.

Her body moves to the rhythms of the Moon. Through phases. Through seasons.

This is a wellspring of power and wisdom.

๐Ÿ”ข Let's look at the numbers

8 represents infinity. The lemniscate. Eternal flow. A woman isn't linear โ€” she renews herself. Every month. Every phase. Every chapter of her life.

13 represents transformation. Death and rebirth. In ancient cultures, the year was divided into 13 lunar months of 28 days each. It was a natural calendar โ€” following the Moon, the body, nature.

But then they replaced it. Made it 12 months. And declared the number 13 "unlucky."

Why? Because 13 is a power that's hard to control. It's a cycle. It's a rhythm. It's something that lives by its own laws.

๐ŸŒ™ The Moon and Woman: What Science Says

The connection between lunar and menstrual cycles isn't just a myth.

The average length of a woman's cycle is 28 days. A lunar month is 29.5 days.

These numbers nearly match.

A 2021 study from the University of Wรผrzburg analyzed records from 22 women, some of whom kept diaries for up to 32 years. The result: women with cycles longer than 27 days showed statistically significant synchronization with the full moon or new moon โ€” especially women under 35.

A later study (2025) with 176 records confirmed that synchronization weakened after 2010. Scientists link this to artificial light: screens, LED lamps, nighttime lighting. Our brains stopped "seeing" the Moon โ€” and our biological clocks fell out of sync.

This doesn't mean the connection disappeared. It means we've distanced ourselves from nature.

๐Ÿ“ฑ The Screen That Takes More Than It Gives

We live in a world where screens have become the center of everything.

Phone in the morning. Computer during the day. TV in the evening. And phone again โ€” before bed.

We're losing our connection to nature. And with it โ€” we're losing ourselves.

Because humans are nature. We're not separate from it. We are one.

And when screens become more powerful than sunrise, sunset, the sound of rain, or moonlight โ€” we cut ourselves off from our own source.

It happens imperceptibly. But it happens every day.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง About a Paradox Worth Acknowledging

We often pay attention to how much time our children spend online. We monitor. We comment. We restrict.

But we don't monitor our own screen time.

A child looks up โ€” and sees Mom scrolling through her feed. Dad staring at his laptop. Adults who won't put down their own phones.

And children don't learn from words. They learn from actions.

"Don't raise your children, they will be like you anyway. Raise yourself" โ€” an English proverb.

๐Ÿ“ก Turn Off Wi-Fi at Night โ€” Not Out of Fear, But Out of Self-Respect

Scientists still debate whether Wi-Fi directly affects sleep. Some studies find no connection. Others find it in certain groups.

But there's another reason to do this.

When you turn off the router โ€” you sever an invisible thread.

You tell your body and your soul: "That's it. I'm offline. I'm here. I'm with myself."

This is about returning to yourself.

And this is scientifically proven: blue light from screens suppresses melatonin and disrupts sleep. And turning off Wi-Fi creates a gentle barrier that keeps you from reaching for your phone "just for a second."

Evening Ritualโœจ:

An hour before bed โ€” turn off Wi-Fi.

Remove your phone from the bedroom (or turn on airplane mode).

Light a candle.

Tell yourself: "I'm returning to myself."

This is about honoring your peace.

๐ŸŒธ Rituals for Each Phase

Phase 1. Quiet Days

Release. Silence. Time for yourself. A warm shower. A candle. Softness. Don't demand productivity from yourself. Allow yourself to simply be.

Phase 2. Rising

Energy returns. Time for new beginnings. Set goals. Start projects. Take the first steps.

Phase 3. Blossoming

Creativity. Meetings. Connection. You shine. You attract. This is the time to show yourself to the world.

Phase 4. Slowing Down

Silence. Honesty. Letting go. Everything that leaves makes room for the new.

Your cycle isn't a weakness. It's your inner calendar of power.

Unlock your feminine power. Your femininity.

Allow yourself to remember who you truly are.

I love this. ๐Ÿ’•It is so important! The marriage to screens and technology is frightening to me. Also, I am born on 13 December so always been a very special number to me personally.๐Ÿ’–

Thank you for your comment ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š I agree. These days, it's hard to imagine life without technology, but there are many "buts" worth considering. Back when I rode the subway, I loved seeing so many people reading books โ€” now almost everyone is scrolling through their feeds. We're drawn to screens like magnets, and I believe it's important to learn to control ourselves and find other joys in life๐Ÿ˜ And I've always loved the number 13 โ€” it's my lucky number. During exams, I often ended up with ticket 13 โ€” and it never let me down. By the way, I'm planning to write an article about it โ€” it really deserves special attention.
