The January Full Moon - Wolf Moon Astrology Insights

The January Full Moon - Wolf Moon Astrology Insights Ah, January—a fresh start, new resolutions, and let’s not forget the first celestial event of the year: the Wolf Moon. Sounds mystical, right? But don’t worry, it’s not about werewolves or eerie howls (although, wouldn’t that be kind of exciting?). Instead, the January full moon is steeped in rich history and astrology vibes that might just set the tone for your year. Why is it called the Wolf Moon? Back in the day, Native Americans and European settlers named each full moon based on seasonal cues. The Wolf Moon got its name because, during the cold and quiet of January, wolves were often heard howling near villages. Were they hungry? Lonely? Complaining about their New Year’s resolutions? Who knows, but the name stuck. Fun fact: The full moon this year peaks on January 25th, so mark your calendars and keep your snacks away from any howling critters (or neighbors).
