Full Moon in Cancer 🌕
On the evening of January 17, 2022, the full moon will illuminate the night sky. This moon is known as the “wolf moon” and will fall among the constellation and zodiac, Cancer.
Full Moon Meanings
The moon phases have long been followed by humanity. We’ve used it for harvesting purposes, to define date and time, and determine climate. The Sun may set the pace but humans have always instinctually been attracted to and in awe of the mother moon. Since awakening to our consciousness, we’ve related moon meanings to things beyond earthly definitions.
The full moon is closely linked to the emotional body, particularly for women and Yin energy (the divine feminine energy that everyone has access to!).
It can be easy for us to hide uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our mind does it because it’s hard to face what needs to be fixed. Because fixing requires a sincere commitment to your healing and growth.
But the mother moon isn’t here to condemn you or shame you. Instead, she serves to nurture and guide you along your healing path. To understand that you, too, have phases. But when you are whole, when you are full, you shine the brightest.
Full Moon Spiritual Meaning
There is a profound connection between the full moon and our spiritual bodies. The full moon helps us see the fullness of all that we are, especially our divine, creative powers to build a new life, thought, idea, and destroy what holds us back.
The moon is indicative of divine feminine energy which is as chaotic and destructive as it is nurturing and creative. The full moon teaches us that the only way to overcome something is through it. The intense energy of the moon can be harnessed and applied to a multitude of intentions. It is a time of deep feeling and deep knowing. The time for action rises with the Sun.
Every full moon is different. It occurs in different constellations, zodiac signs, and amplifies a different house for each sign. So it’s best to know what that sign represents and which house it occupies in your chart, for the deepest understanding of how the full moon themes will be represented in your life.
The Wolf Moon
Native American tribes have labeled full moons for many reasons. This particular full moon is called the Wolf Moon. It is said to be the time wolves howl loudly at the moon.
They are crying out in hunger as the cold season has left them with fewer prey options. This has also been referred to as the Spirit Moon because it is the first full moon of the year, indicating the importance of setting intentions and goals.
The wolf moon can evoke an animalist desire to be free, to be wild, untamed, to crave, and to pursue the things that we’re naturally drawn to. Even if it doesn’t make you money, even if it’s not particularly profound according to worldly standards, the full moon wants you to go after what your soul craves.
