Why don't we follow the moon cycle as a monthly calendar?
The Gregorian calendar we use today is basically just an administrative tool that was made back in 1582 based on solar cycle. Itâs all about Earthâs trip around the sun, which is great for taxes. But we have these irregular months of 30 or 31 days that don't actually correspond to any natural rhythm.Â
There is a lunar-based way of seeing time which isn't new and has been used for millennia. Iâm fascinated by the fact that the moon gives us the actual month. Itâs inherently feminine in its building up and letting go. If youâve ever felt that unexplained surge of energy when the moon is bright, or that deep need to just disappear and rot in bed when itâs pitch black out, you know exactly what I mean.Â
The thing is itâs so overlooked in our modern world. It feels like just another way the feminine is being ignored, dismissed as "too complicated" or "unreliable" because it doesn't fit into a neat, 12-month solar box. A true lunar month doesn't perfectly fit the sunâs cycle and we actually end up with 37 months every three years. That means every third year has a 13th month. Itâs this beautiful, slightly chaotic "extra" space that maybe a rigid corporate grid just can't handle.
Corporate culture wants us to be constant, linear, and perfectly productive every single day just like machines, regardless of what our bodies are actually doing. I know I canât exactly dismantle capitalism or rewrite the corporate rules. Those 9-to-5 schedules and expectations arenât going anywhere, and they certainly don't care about a feminine cycle. But there is a girl in me who just isn't okay with that disconnect. So, Iâve been working on a website that uses the lunar cycle as the primary date. Itâs a quiet rebellion, I guess.
Iâm still in the middle of creating it. I think we deserve a place to track our lives that feels as mysterious as the moon itself. Itâs just a simple, quiet way to finally start flowing with the cosmos.
What do you think of this?
Love it!!
