The Sacred Rhythm of Cycles: Moon, Menstruation, and the Tides

The Sacred Rhythm of Cycles: Moon, Menstruation, and the Tides

At Florence Selene Tarot, we are constantly guided by the rhythms of nature, the subtle shifts in energy, and the deep wisdom carried through cycles. With our newest collection, we honor the powerful connection between moon cycles, menstrual cycles, and the ocean tides—all ancient, feminine forces that move us, shape us, and whisper truths if we’re quiet enough to listen.

🌙 The Moon: Our Celestial Timekeeper

Each lunar phase offers a distinct energetic invitation:

  • New Moon – a time for planting seeds, rest, and inward vision
  • Waxing Moon – momentum builds; we nurture intentions
  • Full Moon – a peak of illumination and manifestation
  • Waning Moon – a time to release, reflect, and cleanse

Ritual Suggestion: New Moon Intention Setting
Create a sacred space with your new moon candle. Pull a tarot card asking, "What seed is ready to be planted?" Write your intention in a journal, then burn a bay leaf as an offering. Let stillness guide you.

🩸 Menstrual Cycles: The Inner Moon

Our menstrual cycles mirror the moon, often syncing with her phases. These inner seasons bring emotional insight, energetic shifts, and sacred power:

  • Menstruation (New Moon energy): rest and reflect
  • Follicular Phase (Waxing Moon): energy returns
  • Ovulation (Full Moon): creativity and connection peak
  • Luteal Phase (Waning Moon): prepare to release and go inward

Ritual Suggestion: Menstrual Altar + Journaling Practice
During your bleed, create a small altar with red cloth, rose quartz, and a self-care oracle or tarot card. Journal: "What is my body asking for today?" Honor your cycle with softness, not pressure.

🌊 The Tides: The Breath of the Earth

The tides, pulled by the moon’s gravity, are Earth’s exhale and inhale. They remind us that being moved is natural, that flow is inevitable, and that we are never separate from the cosmic dance.

Ritual Suggestion: Salt Water Release Ritual (Waning Moon or Luteal Phase)
Fill a bowl with water and sea salt (or use ocean water if accessible). Speak into the water what you're ready to release. Gently pour the water into the earth or sink, visualizing the tide carrying it away. 

✨ Introducing the “Cycle” Collection

This collection is a love letter to all that is cyclical—your body, your spirit, the sea, and the sky. It’s a reminder that you are not broken when you are tired, inward, or slow. You are just moving through a sacred rhythm.

With every product, you’ll find intention and beauty—a gentle invitation to return to your natural flow. Shop the Cycles Collection
