Hi. Janakoi, your post on the moon cycles is really interesting. I have never heard of Uttara Vasti, but it does make natural sense to me. In ancient times women’s cycle used to coincide with the moons cycle—this is evidenced by markings found in the Egyptian pyramids-- some of the earliest known makings were determined to be markings of women charting their cycles and the moon. I had heard that if one could sleep out under the stars (without exposure to artificial light) their menstrual cycle would align itself with the cycle of the moon. So, if you simulate those conditions by sleeping in a completely dark room (without street light, hall light, etc) by darkening your windows, etc. then close to the time of full moon for 2-3 days you let in light, then a woman’s cycle will align itself with the moon. I had never had any reason or known of any value in doing this. However, it sounds as if there is. Once hearing it, it makes a certain amount of sense to me. Thanks for sharing. I plan on looking into that book.
