Last night we experienced a breathtaking full wolf moon. A wolf moon is the name commonly given to the moon in January. If you did not get a chance to see the full moon last night or if you forgot to put your moon water out, worry not! The moon is still 99.92% full so you can enjoy it tonight!
The full moon has the power to bring our inner emotions and desires to light. And it may hold different meanings for us based on our zodiac signs. The way we calculate what the moon has in store for our signs is not as simple as just taking a cursory glance at our charts. We calculate the full moon’s effect on us by calculating which of our twelve astrological houses the moon is residing in.
When reading through this article be sure to check your sun, moon, and rising signs. You may want to look more closely at your rising sign if you know it!
Aries
The moon is currently in the 4th house for Aries. This means that you may be preoccupied with your home and family. Under this full moon, Aries wants to feel warm and surrounded by loved ones who they feel safe with. This is a wonderful time to complete any home projects that you have been putting off. This is also an excellent time for a big family dinner or game night. Or if you are socially distancing at this time, you can catch up with your biological or chosen family with a phone call or a group zoom chat.
Taurus
The moon is currently in the 3rd house for Taurus. This means that a sense of belonging and communication with loved ones is of the utmost importance to you right now. Under this full moon, Taureans have a tendency to retreat inward and get lost in their own thoughts. To break free from this mental trap, you may want to seek out a connection and reach out to people who you haven’t spoken to in a while. Now is a great time to get involved with your local community. You can lend your practicality and dedication to charitable pursuits.
Gemini
The moon is currently in the 2nd house for Gemini. This means that they may be worrying about finances. Under this full moon, you may be in danger of conflating their self-worth with how much money or material possessions they have. Now would be a good time to do what Geminis do best and express yourself through the power of the written word. Write a list of everything that you like about yourself, that is not material-related. Read and memorize this list, and then repeat it like a mantra. You are more than the money you make and the possessions that you own.
Cancer
The moon is currently in the 1st house for Cancer. This can prove to be an extra special time for you. The full moon was not only happy at home in Cancer last night (tonight the moon is technically in Leo), but it is also occurring in the house of identity and self-expression. At this time it is important to hold a mirror up to yourself. Just as the moon acts as a mirror to the sun. Now is the time to look inward and ask yourself what truly makes you happy. This is also a wonderful time to practice shadow work.
Leo
The moon is currently in the 12th house for Leo. This means that it is time to sit back and relax a bit. Under this full moon, the usually very high-spirited and theatrical Leo is in need of a long winter’s nap. At this time, it is important for you to remember that you can not be “on” all the time. You must make time to rest and rejuvenate. And if you don’t make time to rest, your body will eventually force you to. Do not see this respite as stagnation. See it as a time to heal and examine your innermost thoughts and dreams.
Virgo
The moon is currently residing in the 11th house for Virgo. This means that community and friendship are incredibly important to you right now. Under this full moon, you feel compelled to help out with causes and take part in activism. Now is a wonderful time to throw a charity fundraiser or hold a gathering to raise awareness for a particular cause. Not only will these get-togethers help those in need, they will also provide a sense of revelry and camaraderie in your community.
Libra
The moon is currently residing in the 10th house for Libra. This means that you are preoccupied with what people think of you. Under this full moon, you feel ambitious and you may be hoping for a career change or a promotion. Because of this, your first impressions and reputation are very important to you right now. A cliché as it may sound, it is important to be yourself and not downplay your accomplishments. Know your worth and be proud of the person whom you have become.
Scorpio
The moon is currently in the 9th house for Scorpio. This means you are overwhelmed with the need to expand your mind. Under this full moon, you want to explore the world around you and travel to places you have never been before. If the current health crisis is making it impossible for you to travel, try reading up on new philosophies or biographies you have never read before. If reading is not your thing, the internet is full of interesting documentaries.
Sagittarius
The moon is currently in the 8th house for Sagittarius. This means you have a great desire to reinvent yourself. Under this full moon, you want to let your past die, and let your new life grow in its place. At this time, your intuition is strong and it will guide your next steps. Let this full wolf moon guide your transformation into the person you have always wanted to be.
Capricorn
The moon is in the 7th house for Capricorn. This means you are seeking balance in your life. Under this full moon, you are seeking ways to strengthen the partnership between you and your significant other. Maybe you are currently seeking out a partner, romantic or otherwise, who will compliment you and balance you out. Communicate with your partner or prospective partner and tell them exactly what you need from them, not what you want from them. In turn, ask them what they need from you.
Aquarius
The moon is in the 6th house for Aquarius. This means that you are trying to set a good routine for yourselves. Under this full moon, you are striving for a work-life balance that will have a positive effect on your physical, mental, and emotional health. If your employer is asking too much of your time, remember that “no” is a complete sentence. Find a healthy balance and routine that works for you.
Pisces
The moon is in the 5th house for Pisces. This means that your creativity is flourishing. Under this full moon, you are filled to the brim with emotion and you want to express that in fun, artistic, and possibly even theatrical ways. Channel your feelings into a creative project that you feel passionate about. Paint that picture! Write that poem! Audition for that play! Do what makes you feel the most alive.
