Menstrual Archetype

A menstrual archetype is the pattern across cycles, not the noise within one. Most cycle apps treat the day or the phase as the unit of read. Soulwise treats the across-month rhythm as the unit. The archetype is what stays true when individual cycles vary.

What goes into the read

The Soulwise read uses three signals over time:

1. Phase-by-phase energy chips from the daily-check-in. Not summed, but tracked as a shape — does your Build phase tend to be sharp or steady, does your Release phase tend to soften or sharpen interiority.
2. Carry-across notes — the qualitative things you wrote in the recap, processed by a small in-context language model with your private encryption key, never shared.
3. The cycle-weather — short-term variance vs. long-term baseline. The archetype is the baseline, not the weather.

What it is not

It is not your Personality Blueprint archetype. The Personality Blueprint reads your natal chart and does not change. The menstrual archetype reads your cycle data and changes if your life does.

It is not a diagnosis. We do not name symptoms, conditions, or hormonal profiles. If you suspect something clinical, see a clinician.

It is not a prescription. The archetype does not tell you what to do — it tells you what tends to land for you.

Why we wait three months

A single cycle is too small a sample to call a pattern. Soulwise does not surface a named archetype until the pattern is stable across at least three full cycles. Until then, you see the daily check-in only.

Where it shows up in the app

In your cycle-blueprint — the long-form read that pairs your natal chart with your cycle archetype to give a fuller portrait. The blueprint updates quietly when the read changes.
