Full Moon
January 6: Full Wolf Moon in Cancer occurs at 3:08 PST
This is the first full moon of the new year and is referred to as the Full Wolf Moon. It’s also called the Ice Moon, Old Moon, and Moon after Yule. This January Full Moon heralds a time of change, transformation, and introspection. This is the time to figure out what you need to have a successful, fulfilling life. It’s also a time of noticing what’s missing and finding truth in what you truly long for. It’s about finding your personal truth and discovering your purpose and how it relates to the collective and society as a whole.
The Wolf Moon represents the final ending of cycles ahead of new beginnings and moves toward new light and opportunities as the days grow longer. The Wolf Moon is a reminder that no one can get by without the support of their chosen ‘pack’ in life. This year, the Wolf Moon occurs in the sign of Cancer, the sensitive and emotional nurturer. Because Cancer is ruled by the moon you can expect to feel more in tune with your sympathetic, intuitive and spiritual side during this Full Moon. This Full Moon reminds us to learn how to better utilize our emotional support system and to reach out when we need support.
The Full Wolf Moon brings an opportunity to deepen or reawaken our connection to our intuition and our innate knowing. Use this time to tune into your intuition for answers.
With Mercury in retrograde during this full moon, you may find it difficult to express yourself clearly and communicate your boundaries. This Full Moon is all about balancing your private and public life, your commitment to your work, and your family. Identify and get rid of old patterns and limiting beliefs that have been keeping you from your true dreams and desires.
