From ancient times to contemporary Christianity and pop culture, the moon has long stood as an allegory for the mysterious feminine. During humankind’s evolutionary journey, the Moon became the universal image of the eternal Goddess, governing not only the tides of the sea but the tides of the womb. The menstrual cycle, the key to human reproduction, coincides with the 28-day cycle of the moon. Even today, in many parts of the world, women refer to their menstrual cycle as being within their “moon time”.
But a vision of a mystical goddess doesn’t do much good for a feisty entrepreneur, a quirky coder, or a cunning financial strategist with great shoes. Humankind has developed their tools over time, and it’s time for the time-old pregnancy to get a makeover.
