January 17: The First Full Moon of the Year 2022 (Wolf Moon)

What is it and what does it mean for your zodiac sign?

On Monday, January 17, the first full moon of 2022 will occur, known as the Wolf Moon for being the time of the year when it is most likely to hear wolves howling, and it represents a moment of transformation and introspection as it happens in the middle of winter. According to astrologers, the effects of this lunation represent challenges for all signs of the zodiac.

Native American people named each full moon of the month to distinguish the seasons and let them know, for example, when the best time for harvesting or hunting was.

The full moon of winter, which occurs precisely in January, was known as the Full Wolf Moon because that is when they heard these animals howling the most and thought they were hungry. Over time, it was understood that they howled to mark their territory, hunt, and find other members of their pack.

What is the spiritual significance of the Full Wolf Moon?

Astrologically, the January full moon occurs in Cancer, a water sign that is characterized by being homely and emotional. Presenting itself in the middle of winter, it represents a moment of transformation and introspection, of discovering what is needed in life or what is missing.

“It’s about sacrificing yourself and finding personal truth and discovering your purpose and how it relates to the bigger picture and society as a whole.”

The wolf represents protection, security, and empowerment, sentiments that will be placed in the home as the lunation will occur in the motherly sign of Cancer. It will be a time to open our hearts to self-compassion, recognize where we are vulnerable and accept ourselves.
