Full Wolf Moon
Wed., Jan. 15th – 8:51 p.m. PT
26 degrees and 58 minutes of Cancer
The first Full Moon of the year 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. The Moon is also 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 first Full Moon of 2014 is joining auspicious Jupiter while making challenging aspects to Uranus and Mars. What does this mean? Go within, seek your personal truth, and then take action and make the necessary changes that bring you into full alignment with your core essence.
The Wolf Moon is a reminder to all of us to empower the sacred being within and to awaken to the great spiritual unfolding occurring at this time in our history.
