January's Full Moon called the Wolf Moon occurs January 13th, 2025. This full moon is in Cancer.
Why is it called the Wolf Moon? It's believed Wolf Moon comes from an old Celtic tradition meaning when the wolves are gathering. Some would call it the Full Moon to stay in or Stay at Home. January is a cold month and the hungry wolves y would gather and hunt in large packs.
What is a Full moon? A full moon is when the earth is between the sun and moon so that the moon and sun are in opposition to each other. The sun's light is reflected off the surface of the moon giving us the fullness of a bright circle in the night sky. The full moon is part of the lunar cycle as it orbits the Earth. Full moons appear approximately every 29 days.
This time the full moon will be in Cancer. The Moon and Cancer both correspond with the element of water which represents our emotions, and feelings (positive and negative). With the moon being at its fullest in Cancer this January, we can be confronted with drama and intense feelings and emotions. Also, the Full Moon's gravitational energy is said to bring on sleep disturbances, but if we use the energy of this full moon wisely, we can welcome in peace and calm. This can be a great time for reflection, quiet and preparation for transformation.
Why does the moon have such an impact? The moon as it orbits the Earth, has a gravitation pull on the Earth. This gravitational pull brings the water on the earth's side that is closest to the Moon and the side that is the farthest from the moon creating high tides. We may feel this energy because we are made of mostly water.
A full moon in Cancer can have a dramatic effect on our emotions. This is why it's a great time for some introspection, quiet and preparation for manifesting goals.
Full Moon in Cancer rituals:
Wolf Moon Meditation: bring in the quiet and let the quiet calm energy replace any
emotional turmoil. With quiet meditation, we can help ourselves understand intense emotions. Meditate with any of the following crystals:
Meditation: to focus on intensions and to bring in calmness Selenite- use the light of selenite (derived from the Greek word for moon) to cleanse and wash away intense feelings of sadness. Let go of the past and bring in calm and clarity. Selenite is wonderful for cleansing and charging other crystals and doing this under a full moon makes the Wolf Moon mediation stronger
Moonstone- a wonderful crystal for connecting with the moon's energy. While holding this crystal, focus on your third eye to enhance your intution.
Labradorite- this crystal is helpful for you to prepare for transformation. I use this crystal to connect with the universe for help with letting go of thoughts that do not help me and to prepare new goals.
Howlite- a wonderful crystal for the crown chakra and to help with letting go of negative thought forms. It helps in releasing negativity and bringing in clarity.
Red Jasper- It takes energy to get through these winter months. January's days are mostly dark. Red jasper is energy giving and will help us with our endurance during this cold month.
Clear Quartz- It's the master crystal. Great for enhancing positive energy and starting intensions. Clear Quartz also amplyfies the energies of other crystals.
Wolf Moon Crystal Charging: The full moon's energy can be beautifully used to recharge your crystals. Place your crystals on a window sill facing the light of the full moon. Full Moon energy cleanses away any negative energy that your crystals may have absorbed. This is particularly good for the crystals that are known to absorb negative energy from people and spaces. Examples of such crystals are black tourmaline, obsidian, shungite, amazonite, and calcites.

Intensional Crystals: Citrine for its piezoelectric energies to transform negative energy into positive energy. This crystal will keep the effects of negative effects of criticism from lingering in your space.

In conclusion, using the energy on the Full Moon in January a.k.a. the Wolf Moon to release emotions, feelings and thought forms that no longer serve us and to prepare for change by setting intensions will give us a wonderful rest of 2025!
