Welcome to the approaching Wolf Full Moon in Cancer on January 3 at 10.03 UTC, the first Super-moon of the year that appears bigger and brighter than other moons because it passes nearer the earth. In the northern hemisphere at this darkest coldest time, Mother Moon’s light is eagerly welcomed
This first full moon in January is known among the Native North Americans as Wolf Moon because the wolves could be heard howling at the hungriest time of the year. The Seneca nation believed a wolf gave birth to the moon by singing her into the sky. Wherever you live in the world the Full Moon in Cancer consoles those who have insufficient resources for themselves and loved ones or are alone, estranged or far from family.
As the Yule decorations are packed away for another year, there may seem only bleakness ahead and spiralling expenses ahead, but the Wolf Moon shines with hope for the future. If you are safe within the shelter of close friends and family and have enough for your needs, spare a smile and maybe some practical gesture of help or the hand of friendship to those who have little or whose eyes reflect the solitude within.
The Cancerian Full Moon is ruled by Muriel the silvery Angel of dreams and those realistic wishes you can strive to make true through your own efforts - and a bit of luck. Muriel rides her magical carpet through the skies, illuminating opportunities hidden within the shell of self-doubt and dismissing the discouragement of those who gain security from your staying just the same, ready and waiting to fulfil their needs.
Call on this moon for happiness and protection at home, for family, children and for fidelity and loyalty, for bringing imaginative projects into the public arena, also for keeping necessary secrets, especially love that cannot be revealed because one or both partners are not free; for conceiving a baby, for overcoming a relationship problem or betrayal, for major home renovations or refurbishing and against domestic accidents or hostile neighbours.
Your discarded or not fully developed talents are waiting in the wings to dance centre stage and receive the long overdue accolades of your worth.
Reach out risking hurt and rejection and if you are turned down, there is a whole world of love, life and fulfilment and an ocean of adventure beyond the rock pools of others’ limitations.
Finally reach out to make your own good fortune, and by the light of this Super-moon begin New Year with a flying start, promising golden days ahead.
Happy Moondays..
