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. It’s all about Earth’s 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. I’m fascinated by the fact that the moon gives us the actual month. It’s inherently feminine in its building up and letting go. If you’ve ever felt that unexplained surge of energy when the moon is bright, or that deep need to just disappear and rot in bed when it’s pitch black out, you know exactly what I mean.Â
The thing is it’s 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 sun’s cycle and we actually end up with 37 months every three years. That means every third year has a 13th month. It’s 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 can’t exactly dismantle capitalism or rewrite the corporate rules. Those 9-to-5 schedules and expectations aren’t 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, I’ve been working on a website that uses the lunar cycle as the primary date. It’s a quiet rebellion, I guess.
I’m 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. It’s just a simple, quiet way to finally start flowing with the cosmos.
What do you think of this?
Love it!!
