Many women faced early periods cramping and bizarre mood-swings in August due to the after effects of the “Solar Eclipse” that happened on Monday. Some common problems include an unexpected early period visit or out-of-the-blue period cramps in the middle of the night or being too moody or sensitive for no reason, etc. These symptoms are likely to happen to be because of the Solar Eclipse and beginning of the Lunar cycle altogether.

This is something really interesting! As there are some basic facts related to this. Well, if you faced what you shouldn’t have faced this month, then you’ll surely agree to these facts.

Are Menstrual and Lunar Cycles Interlinked?

Not just the word “Cycle,” but Menstrual and Lunar Cycles have actual mutual factors related to each other. The first and foremost is that the two approximately take 28 cycle days. In history, they are interlinked to the extent that it was believed when the full moon would strike; women would gather into a “moon lodge” and bleed together. Believe it or not, it’s up to you!

In simple words, the solar eclipse is also the starting of a new moon cycle, which is believed to be the perfect time for a woman’s menstruation cycle to begin. So, now you can imagine the gravitational force of a new moon cycle in collaboration with a solar eclipse.

So before wasting your time on googling reasons for getting your periods early, you must understand that you’re not alone.

Thousands of women across the globe are facing the same problems as you are.

What should you do with your 3-D glasses now that the eclipse is over?

Instead of throwing away your 3-D glasses, make some generous use of the glasses by donating them. The “Astronomers Without Borders (AWB)” will collect and process these eclipse glasses to be sent to South American and Asian Schools, where the next Solar Eclipse is likely to happen on July 2, 2019.

However, according to space organization, the glasses will only be sent if they meet with NASA’s safety standards.

The AWB organization also hostel a similar program before for central African schools last during last year’s solar eclipse.

The group’s endeavor is to build people’s interest in science, technology, engineering and innovations that happen in the world.

Also, you can save your pair of eclipse glasses for the next eclipse in the U.S., which is likely to happen on April 8, 2024, from Texas to north-eastern states. Although, it would be better to get their compliance checked as some lenses do expire after three years, so make sure the glasses holders surely check the expiration dates.
