The distant howls of wolves will ring in the first full moon of the new year. You might feel like you were born to be wild, since the full moon in Cancer—a.k.a. the Wolf Moon—will affect each zodiac sign. Release your inner wolf, and forge forward during this brooding lunation.

But the full moon directly across the zodiac in Cancer is shifting our focus onto softer and more personal matters. This sensitive water sign is associated with family, comfort, and feeling at home — so you may find it’s time to balance your worldlier ambitions with some heart-centric inner work.

The Full Wolf Moon in Cancer is happening on January 13, 2025. At this point in life, you probably are well versed in the moon’s cycles. But, just in case, the moon goes through different phases each month and during a full moon, it looks like a big ball shining down from the sky.
