This month, Full Moon is going to occur on January 13, 2025. Why this Full Moon is special? This full moon is unique because it signifies the start of the year’s lunar cycle and is linked to letting go of the past and welcoming fresh starts. The full Moon in January this is the Wolf Moon, from the packs of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid the cold and deep snows of winter. European names for this Moon include the Ice Moon, the Old Moon, and (as the full Moon after the winter solstice) the Moon after Yule.
The wolf moon may bring up some intense emotions for you, but it’s an excellent time to prioritize self-care and nurture your emotional well-being. You might feel more intuitive and sensitive than usual, so trust your instincts and pay attention to your inner voice. If you feel less social, that’s fine. The full moon marks the end of the monthly moon cycle, and it reflects something similar in a spiritual sense: it’s the culmination of positive energy after a period of work or effort. The full moon is the perfect time to look back on what you’ve accomplished during the past month and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
The full moon is said to have many effects on people, including:
- Emotions The full moon can cause intense emotions, such as feeling overwhelmed or snappier than usual. Some say that the full moon can enhance your emotions, whether they are positive or negative.
- Sleep The full moon can cause sleep changes, such as lying awake at night or not sleeping as deeply.
- Mental health The full moon can exacerbate symptoms of mental health issues like anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia.
- Manifestation The full moon is a powerful time for manifestation, showing gratitude, and receiving abundance.
- Crystal charging Place crystals in moonlight before the full moon can supercharge them with lunar energy.
- Writing Write down all that you want to release. Burn or shred that piece of paper and make sure to remove the remains in a trash receptacle outside of your home.
- In meditation we learn to attend to all the sacred energies naturally flowing inside us, including our sensibilities and vulnerabilities. There is an energy that comes with the full moon that enhances our feelings but also empowers and supports them. Our dreams and what is closest to our hearts are illuminated.
