Are you one of the four lucky signs? The first Full Moon of 2023 is here, whether or not we are prepared for it, and it is about to touch our hearts.
The Full Wolf Moon will appear in the sky on January 6-7. It will be in Cancer, which encourages us to confront our feelings and let go of any feelings of unease and unwanted energy in the year 2023.
Most of us will feel the weight of Mercury's retrograde phase during this lunation, but those lucky zodiac signs that are least affected by the January 2023 Full Wolf Moon will find that they are able to navigate this time with grace.
Why is it Called the Full Wolf Moon?
The howling of wolves during the night is where the term “wolf moon” originated from. The name, which describes the time of year when there is the most activity among wolf packs, is thought to have been brought to North America by settlers who came from England or Ireland or from Celtic countries.
The Full Moon that occurs in January is also referred to as “The Ice Moon,” “The Snow Moon,” and “The Full Moon After Christmas.”
The Full Moon is associated in astrology with a sense of culmination and freedom. It is never a bad time to get a better understanding of our feelings, but now is an especially good time to do so because the Moon will be in intuitive Cancer, its home sign.
A select few, however, will experience a greater sense of support as they attempt to make sense of their circumstances and realize their ambitions, as opposed to being overcome by their feelings or becoming agitated.
Because we are still in the Capricorn season, topics concerning one's professional life and public image will be front and center. As a result, those born under these signs may experience a surge of energy that helps them see projects and situations through.
Our Emotional Needs Will Come to the Forefront
This lunation will provide us with the opportunity to examine what makes us happy and to liberate ourselves from the other things in our lives.
Mars will be in its retrograde phase, causing slowdowns and enough lethargy to make anyone want to hibernate until January 12/13.
This will add to the confusion that will be caused by Mercury retrograde. This lunation is going to be much more liberating than it is going to be anxiety-provoking for some signs.
