The Male – Sun Cycle
When we talk about a man’s ‘cycle’, we are talking about their testosterone cycle.
The sun is metaphorically regarded as male because it has a 24-hour cycle. Due to the sun’s gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.
This echoes the 24-hour hormonal cycle in men. Men actually experience a full testosterone cycle every 24 hours, with peaks and troughs in testosterone levels during this time which affect mood, attitudes and behaviour.
