Most of it was written for the other half of the world.
You've probably saved the posts. Maybe you bought the book, or downloaded the app. And somewhere in there you noticed that the moon in the picture wasn't the moon out your window, and that the longest night apparently falls in December.
Almost everything written about the moon and the seasons comes from the Northern Hemisphere. Here the moon fills from the left. The wheel turns the other way. Samhain lands at the end of April, in the middle of autumn, where it belongs.
So it never quite matches the sky over your own backyard, and you end up half-following something that was never meant for where you live.
Meanwhile the same week keeps catching you out. The one where you want to cancel everything and go to bed at eight. You've had it every month for years and it still arrives like news.
Those are the same problem. No map.
A page a month, and a line for every day.
It isn't a program. There's nothing to keep up with and no app to open. It's a calendar you print and write on.
Every month gets a double page. The moon's phase, the exact time and the sign she's in are printed on the day they happen, in Sydney time. There's a small box to fill in when you're bleeding, and a line beside every date for a word or two about what you notice. Your energy, your mood, the weather, what's flowering, a dream.
- A double page for all twelve months of 2027
- Every new and full moon, with the time and the degree she sits at
- The 2027 eclipses, and what you'll actually see of them from here
- The eight turning points of the Southern Hemisphere year, on the right dates
- Short chapters on the moon, your cycle and the seasons of a woman's life
- Simple practices you can do with what's already in your house
- Room at the end of each season to write, draw, or press a leaf
Fifty-six pages. Print the lot, or one month at a time.
Three steps, and the third takes ten seconds.
It lands in your inbox straight away.
Somewhere you'll walk past. The fridge is fine.
What the moon's doing, or what you are. A word is enough.
By about the third month you'll start to see your own pattern. Not a chart someone else made. Yours, in your handwriting, and more use than any app.
What you'll be writing on.
Every month across a double page, with a line for each day.
The wheel, drawn the way the sun actually moves down here.
The moon's phase, time and sign, printed on the day it happens.
You might want this if
- You've been circling this for a while and never found a starting point
- Your cycle has changed and you're not sure why
- You're postpartum, or pregnant, or in perimenopause, or past it
- You don't bleed, and most cycle material leaves you out
- You've tried an app and found it told you about yourself rather than asking
- You just like knowing what the moon is doing
You don't need to be spiritual, or tracking anything, or know what phase you're in. If you can look up at the sky and write one word, you have everything you need.
I'm Jen.
I've been a midwife for more than 17 years, and much of that has been spent beside women at the biggest thresholds of their lives.
I also hold women's circles and teach the Women's Cycle Map, drawing on years in women's wisdom traditions and the lineage of Jane Hardwicke Collings. Most of this calendar is what I've learned from those two things sitting alongside each other.
The calendar is education and reflection. It isn't clinical care or medical advice.
Look up tonight, and write it down.
That's the whole practice. The calendar gives you somewhere to put it.

And then what?
The calendar lands in your inbox straight away.
Over the next two weeks I'll send five short emails, one at a time. Why the wheel turns the other way down here. What the week before your bleed is actually doing. Why there are four seasons of a woman's life and not three.
After that I write at each turning point of the year, eight times, with what's shifting and something small to try.
That's all of it. Unsubscribe whenever you like, and the calendar stays yours.
The Southern Moon Calendar is for reflection and education. It isn't medical advice, and it isn't a way to prevent or plan a pregnancy. Moon phases, eclipses and season dates are calculated for Sydney time.
