This week – on January 28 to be exact — we’ll be experiencing a super-mystical sounding Wolf Moon in Leo. And while, unfortunately, this moon doesn’t involve literal wolf-summoning powers, it is rather potent, thanks in no small part to its aspects with Mars and Uranus in Taurus, as well as a T-square between the sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus.
The specific themes of this full moon are avoiding impulsiveness and anger, and instead exercising patience and self-control when our emotions are running amok.
In general, all full moons can be a bit challenging. The sun is opposite the moon, which pits our identities (sun) against our emotional natures (moon). It also illuminates issues that we sometimes would rather stay hidden. So it can be a time of conflict, but also of immense growth, and an ideal opportunity to recognize things in our lives that are no longer serving us, and releasing them to the universe.
Read on to see how this full moon will affect your sun — and rising — sign.
