Thursday, Jan. 12 – 3:34 a.m. PST
22 degrees and 34 minutes of Cancer
The first Full Moon of the 2017 is known as the Wolf Moon by the Native people because the wolf packs howled hungrily outside their snow laden villages. Our brothers and sisters of the stars are known by the Native peoples as the Great Star Nation, and wolves are represented by the Dog Star, Sirius, which many Astrologers and ancient cultures believe is the original home of our teachers from ancient times. Sirius was also known to be the home of the gods by the ancient Egyptians and is still considered so by the Dogon tribe in Africa.
The Moon is a power ally for the Wolf as its senses are very keen. If you’ve been following my Astro-Grams you already know that the Moon is a symbol for psychic energy, and the unconscious that holds the secrets of all knowledge and wisdom. The Full Moon in January is an auspicious time to access this inner wisdom because it falls in the watery sign of the crab – Cancer. Cancer is the Astrological sign associated with our inner versus outer world. Therefore, this is a great time to set intentions for creating more balance between your inner and outer life.
When the Moon is in Cancer the Sun is in Capricorn. These two opposite signs are seeking balance between outer world responsibilities of social, political, and career interest and inner world security of family, home, and self. This Full Moon lunation is making an exact square aspect to Jupiter at 22° Libra, while also highlighting the powerful Pluto–Uranus square — both are emphasizing the ongoing social political transformations that are occurring in our country and our world. With these potent planetary energies we are encouraged to individually and collectively revolutionize outmoded ways of living that are no longer in harmony with natural law.
The Wolf Moon is an inspiring reminder for each of us to empower the sacred being within and to come forth and aid humanity in its spiritual awakening of union with the Great Mystery that is unfolding at this time in our history.
“A great revolution in just one single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a society and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of humankind.” ~Daisaku Ikeda
