Spring and Summer — The Blooming of Feminine Energy

🕒 Reading time: approx. 6 minutes | topics: feminine energy, spring & summer archetypes, creation, self-love

Who hasn’t heard the classic (and infuriating) line — “What’s wrong, got your period?”
Strangely, menstruation itself is taboo, yet making jokes about it isn’t.

In the collective story, there seem to be only two kinds of women:
the “normal” one and the “crazy” one.
She’s normal when she’s not bleeding.
She’s crazy when she is.

But every woman carries four archetypes within her — shifting week by week, like the changing seasons.
Our bodies and souls are cyclical — mirroring the natural rhythm of light and dark, growth and rest, birth and decay.

When we suppress this rhythm, we disconnect from the natural harmony of the world itself.
But when we learn to honor it, we awaken a deep source of power — one that uplifts not only us, but everything we touch.

🌱 Spring — The Time of the Maiden

After menstruation, as the body enters the follicular phase, our inner spring begins.
The Maiden — also known as the Amazon or the Goddess of Beauty — rises within us.
She is light, focused, radiant, full of creative fire.

This is the time of new beginnings.
Clarity returns, energy flows, and action feels effortless.
Estrogen rises, and with it, vitality and confidence.
We learn easily, dream boldly, and step beyond our comfort zones.

If we’ve allowed ourselves true rest during menstruation, the Maiden’s wings open wide.
We feel physically strong and mentally sharp — the feminine energy most similar to masculine drive.

It’s also a beautiful time to reconnect with your body.
Choose softness and freedom — explore the Hip-Hip LEAF (for everyday flow) or BUD (for light days) collections, designed to help you feel at ease and in your full feminine power.

This is the face of womanhood most accepted by society — productive, logical, capable.
But the inner spring is so much more than that:
it’s the season of independence, aliveness, and self-trust.

What new seeds are you planting in your life right now?

☀️ Summer — The Time of the Mother

Mid-cycle, during ovulation, the feminine energy reaches its full bloom.
Estrogen peaks, the egg is released — and the body turns toward life.

The Mother archetype — radiant, generous, nurturing — shines through us.
This is the time of connection, care, and abundance.

We feel drawn to people, to love, to community.
We cook, create, and give.
Sexual energy rises; we are open, magnetic, giving and receiving love freely.

It’s also a time to practice self-nurturing.
The same tenderness we offer to others belongs to us, too.
Let the Hip-Hip period underwear wrap you in comfort — gentle fabrics and natural designs that remind you that care begins within.

According to Red Moon teachings, this phase teaches the art of balance —
how to give without losing yourself, to care without forgetting your own needs.

🪞 Reflection for the Mother phase:
To whom — or what — are you giving your energy right now? And do you receive energy in return?

Just as summer fades into autumn, the bright half of the cycle gives way to the dark, inward one.
In the next article, we’ll explore what happens when energy turns within —
how the Enchantress and Wise Woman become the source of rebirth.
