The universe has no fixed agenda.
Once you make any decision, it works around that decision.
There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each
thought, feeling, and action that you experience. — Deepak Chopra
The first Full Moon of 2022 is especially potent because it falls in its ruling sign of Cancer and occurs on the day of the week ruled by the Moon — Monday. If that wasn’t enough, it’s also a Wolf Moon and is closely aligned with the latent, emotive, and powerfully transformative planet Pluto (more on this connection below). Its occurrence just days after an unprecedented volcanic eruption in the Pacific Ocean is significant, as well. Note: during this cataclysmic event, Mercury was Stationing Retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, while simultaneously making an exact square aspect to Uranus.(1)
The Moon is a power ally for the wolf, whose keen senses have earned it the status of a wise and capable leader, thriving free in the wilderness. Healing powers have also been attributed to the wolf by the Zuni Pueblo peoples. Ancient Wisdom Keepers perceived wolves as spirit-animals of the Dog Star, Sirius (14° Cancer). Many Astrologers and ancient cultures believe that Sirius is the original home of our ancestral teachers. In fact, Sirius is referred to as the “home of the gods” by the Egyptians of antiquity and is still considered so by the Dogon tribe in Africa.
Astrologically, a Wolf Moon is a wonderful lunation for accessing your own innate wisdom. Become still under this Full Wolf Moon and ask for the guidance to fulfil your desires — your destiny. Trust your feelings (Cancer) as they have the power to inform you. With the Moon in the sign of Cancer, the impulse to initiate change may create emotional insecurity. If negative emotions or blockages arise, commit to understanding why and if needed, seek the healing that will allow you to set free your inner-wolf spirit.
During a Full Moon, the energized light of the Sun is reflected onto Earth. In this case, the Sun is in the sign that represents our perception of time — Capricorn. Governance, maturation, reform, responsibility, discipline, fear, and control dynamics are other notable themes of Capricorn. As mentioned above, both the Sun and Moon are closely aligned with Pluto, the planet of passion, power, transformation, and eruptions. Embrace the areas of your life that have matured and are ready to be reformed. Take responsibility and find the discipline to create transformative change. Do not ignore what wants to burst forth from within or you may find yourself experiencing your very own messy volcanic eruption.
Cancer Full Moon Key Words: the crab, ocean tides and bodies of water, emotional realms, early childhood, family, women, mother, nurturing, loving, vulnerable, emotional security
Native American Proverb:
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.
“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight. and it is between two wolves.
One is full of anger, envy, sorrow, full of regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued, “The other is filled with joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy,
generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about this for a minute and then asked
his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied,
“The one you feed.”
Note:
1. The Tonga volcano, which triggered a 7.4 earthquake on the Richter scale and a tsunami, occurred as Mercury was stationing retrograde. On the 14th and 15th of January, Mercury made an exact square aspect to Uranus (10° Aquarius–Taurus). Uranus rules both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as sudden and unexpected events. Uranus and Mercury were also in close aspect during the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami. On March 11, 2011, Uranus was located at the critical 29° of Pisces (the oceanic realms) and within three arc minutes of the raw and potent Aries Zero Point (0° Aries) conjunct Mercury at 2° Aries.
