First full moon of 2025! The January full moon is called the Wolf Moon. The moon will rise at sunset, peak at midnight, and set at sunrise in all time zones.

Moon and sun hover between Cancer and Capricorn. These archetypes just want to get settled in life as soon as possible. They gravitate toward relationships and environments which promise longevity and security (Capricorn) as well as the space and emotional safety required for true vulnerability and acceptance (Cancer). This full moon brings intimacy and understanding to our closest relationships. It’s a great time to spend with family or loved ones.

Luna is right at home in Cancer, the constellation she rules. The crab and the moon are associated with femininity, matrilineal lines, family, and roots. This full moon is about what makes us feel at home. It’s about (self) love and commitment (to self).

Capricorn Season is designed to help us cultivate discipline, focus, and clarity. The Cancer-Capricorn polarity unites the heart and the logical, planning brain. Too much Capricorn makes us anxious about the future as well as our performance in the theater of society; too much Cancer makes us fearful and clingy.

This full moon will be very interesting. The moon herself is cozied up to Mars Retrograde in Cancer, which signals that emotions will be running very high. Watch for angry outbursts or irrational mood swings. We will have to work hard to stay calm. The full moon also coincides with a trine between the Capricorn sun and Uranus Retrograde in Taurus. This influence is warm & cheerful. Think lively social events; high vibes; pleasant surprises. We’ll see what happens!
