Full Wolf Moon in Cancer: First Full Moon of the Year
The first full moon of the year:
Well isn’t this year starting off just as we would expect it? Mother Nature is alive and filling the air and water with power to prepare for the spring season that is coming up ahead. The first full moon of the year is always filled with energy and the desire to “being anew.” However, the first full moon is perfectly suited for reflection and preparation as we take the energy of this moon and put it towards believing in ourselves. This full moon is filled with aspiration and dreams. It has the ability to help you slow down and focus on the things you have been manifesting for the last year if you have not already done so. It is an opening to the portal of love and mischief all the same. In otherworld’s, this moon is filled with endless possibilities and contains no limitations. You’ve done a lot of work to get to this fabulous Wolf Full Moon and there’s nothing left to hold you back except you.
Astrological Arrangement
Did you know that the Wolf Full moon is the furthest full moon from the Earth? It takes on the name “Micromoon” and is part of an astronomical arrangement called apogee. This means it is furthest from the Earth point of the Moon’s orbit. This won’t affect how large the moon looks per say, but is further and considered the opposite of a Supermoon.
The Wolf Moon
Time to howl everyone. Don’t be shy and do not back down from going outside today and howling with all you might at the moon. Release those doubts. Release the worry. Release all of the things that have made you think you cannot. You can. During this time deep self-reflection and accomplishment is what should be manifested. Why are we howling? Native Americans could hear the wolves howling during the cold nights to communicate, protect, and claim their territory. Think of communicating with someone you are having a hard time with at work. Or manifest closer communication with your lover as you move into the next part of your relationship journey. The final thing is focus. It will be tempting to be social, but this moon is for staying home and being around yourself. Love yourself. Treasure this time alone and manifest good times with those you love in a future form.
The Cancer: Loving, Emotional, and Irrational
The Cancer is a strong water sign. Hope you didn’t think all the water that has lead up to today came from nowhere. The spirit of Yemoja (https://youtu.be/9YAxCr4DqS8) was flowing this week. I truly could feel her. They are known for being deep, emotional, and borderline psychic in their abilities to sense things. However, they tend to overstep their powers regularly to create scenarios through visions that have not been fully thought out and manifested. They also tend to let past traumas lead their future expectation and this can also cloud their psychic abilities.
This moon lies in Cancer and will give you an opening to possible psychic powers to see what is in store for your year to come. You must cleanse properly and release all of the doubt that is in you to be able to harvest the energy of the sign during this magical moon phase. As a Cardinal sign, Cancers are filled with creativity and ambition. Do not let the emotional side take over and miss out on the beautiful powers that this sign has to offer. Make sure you are in a space you feel comfortable to prevent agitation during this sensitive period.
The imagination of a Cancer can assist in harvesting the belief in yourself and your dreams as you move forward. That new business you wanted to start can be manifested under this full moon and filled with the ideas you need for its origin. That new song you wanted to write can be given life with the request from The Mousai and Apollo during this time and your imagination can take its true form. Whatever it was you had that you wanted to create, now is a good time to write it down during your moon ceremony and let the energy manifest it into reality.
How to celebrate the Full Wolf Moon
- Howl at the moon while manifesting how you see yourself in the next year. Think of yourself not on in spiritual, but mental and physical form as well. Write this down after you feel it through your howling. If you live by water, go to the water and howl at the moon.
- Do a thorough tarot reading. I do love oracle reading, but with the psychic power available under this full moon a tarot reading can show some true things coming for your journey. The reading I am doing will be on my Instagram page @mixedwitch415 later this evening.
- Exercise or stretch. Yoga or some cardio. Anything to help you connect to your physical form in a positive way. It is attached to the other parts of us.
- Full Skincare routine. I am doing the full works on myself this evening. I really need to cleanse my skin deeply and enjoy the calming aroma while I let my masks sit.
- Sound Healing. I am choosing to dedicate at least 10 minutes today to releasing everything else and doing a sound healing meditation. Sound healing is something I grew close to during Covid 19 lockdown and I would like to begin to add it to my weekly regimen. Starting off with the full moon is a great time.
- Spell Casting. This isn’t for everyone, but if it is for you I suggest you plan to collect your things and cast that spell you were needing tonight. You will not regret choosing this moon to look for this magic to work. Tonight is if filled with prosperity for spells and requests from Gods.
- Write out your weekly schedule. If you’re like me I am looking for more organization and consistency in my weekly human life so that I make sure I have to for my spiritual connections. Start using a planner or calendar so that you can clearly see when you’re available for yourself and others.
- Drink water. Today I am making sure that I am drinking the recommended amount of water for my body size. There are many online calculators for free to help determine this. Today it is especially important for me to have reached this goal so that I can have the Cancer water energy flowing properly through me as I ask for my magical requests to be granted.
- This is something that I lost during last year and I would like to reclaim. Silent sustained reading is such a great tool that I was taught in school. I miss taking that time to sit and read in silence for at least 30 minutes daily. I can’t wait to catch up on the reads that I have.
- Journaling something we should do all of the time, but tonight journal about anything that you are feeling. It may not be connected to the full moon at all or it might have everything to do with the emotional draw you are experiencing from the full moon and more. Just open a notebook and begin to write. It is time for you to get out the things that are inside and trust me writing down thoughts helps them take their true form to your eyes and mind.
Enjoy this full moon. You can catch me by the ocean howling tonight. Hope to feel you all there and blessed be.
