Why a circle?
A calendar is useful for dates, but a circle makes repetition visible. Moonwave places each day around a 28-day wheel so flow, moods, symptoms and personal signals become part of one visual record.
Moon phases as context
Moon phases sit alongside your journal as a natural visual rhythm. The mandala is intended for reflection and art; Moonwave does not claim that moon phases cause menstrual symptoms or determine fertility.
Patterns from your own entries
Pattern views summarize signals that recur in the information you logged. They are prompts to look closer at your own history, not medical conclusions or population-level predictions.
Keep it, print it or share it
Export a mandala as a PDF or share it as an image when you choose. Exports may contain sensitive cycle information, so you stay in control of where they go.
