Each person in the world is free to believe whatever they want. You are free to worship whoever you’d like and follow whatever lifestyle you’d like. People beliefs differ when it comes to astronomy, astrology, and related topics.

The lunar calendar is followed by different people for different reasons. Scientists and astronomers believe the lunar calendar can tell us many things about the way living things will feel and act. Studies have shown that the moon affects the way people behave. Animals are affected by the lunar calendar also. A certain type of edible worm is known to swarm on beaches of the Banks Islands during the last quarter of the lunar month. Their reproductive cycle is in sync with the moons cycle. As the moon goes through it’s phases we can visibly see the changes. The new moon, crescent moon, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, another crescent, and then another new moon complete the phases of the lunar cycle.

For thousands of years women have used lunar calendars to chart their menstrual cycles. This particular lunar calendar consisted of 13 lunar months containing 28 days each. No one knows for sure why the moons cycle affects womens’ cycles but it does. The calendar westerners have started using doesn’t help chart womens’ cycles as the lunar calendar does. If you are a woman having trouble charting your flow pay more attention to the lunar calendar and you’ll have a better idea when things will happen in your cycle.
