A classic pattern is the independent Artemis woman who lives with a marriage-resistant man or with a man she feels isn’t husband material. Living together is an arrangement that suits her fine—until the hormonal shift. Somewhere into the second half of the cycle, Hera’s need to be a mate receives hormonal support. Not being married now stirs up feelings of resentment or rejection, which leads to a monthly fight or to a minidepression that, just as predictably, passes after she’s had her period.
