During this full moon, you’ll be all about making your live as easy-peasy lemon-squeezy as possible, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. But, of course, there’s a little more to it than that.
Here’s what else your zodiac sign can expect from the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer.
Wait, what is the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer, exactly?
Let’s back up a sec here: There tends to be a full moon once each month, meaning there are roughly 12 a year. In astrology, each full moons lines up with a different zodiac sign, creating a certain vibe that changes from full moon to full moon.
From a purely historical perspective, this particular full moon’s name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. The Full Wolf Moon comes at a time when it was thought you could hear wolves howl more at the moon, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. (The original reason was that people thought wolves were howling at the moon because they were hungry during the cold winter months, but it turns out wolves howl for a massive range of things, so…)
It's also known as the Center Moon, Cold Moon, and Frost Exploding Moon, depending on who you’re talking to, per the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
How will the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer impact your zodiac sign?
This full moon is actually happening at the perfect time. Because it's happening in nurturing Cancer sign, it’ll push you to do everything in your power to feel safe, comfortable, and well-fed. So basically, if you find yourself on the couch re-watching season two of The Kardashians while wrapped in a fluffy blanket and eating takeout, it’s all good. It’s what the universe wants, you guys.
At the same time, the full moon is connected with Mercury, the planet of the mind, which will encourage you to do a little more deep thinking than usual. (You know, when you’re not zoned out in front of the TV.) Are you happy with where things are headed in your life, or is it time to switch things up? If so, what would that look like, exactly?
Speaking of visualizing your ideal life, you’ll become laser-focused on nailing that elusive work-life balance. Sure, it’s not easy, but maybe it’s as simple as rejiggering your schedule so you can squeeze in both your workouts and work-work. Or perhaps being more intentional with scheduling date nights with your S.O. (block it out on your cals, couples!) will help you get more one-on-one time together. Either way, you will figure it out.
The full moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says that Cancer and Capricorn will feel it the most.
How will the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer impact your future?
Frankly, kicking off 2023 with some quality couch time is just what you need after the hectic holiday season. Taking a few moments to just kick back and chill will be a welcome reminder of how much you need that balance in your life. Like, you can’t just go full throttle all the time.
As for checking in on where you’re headed in life…that’s always a good thing. It’ll help you re-center and figure out which goals you actually care about, and which maybe aren’t all that important. (Looking at you, juggling.)
Finally, 2023 is the year you’ll actually figure out your perfect work-life balance. It may not be pretty and it probably won’t be easy, but you’ll come out on the other side with a little more living in your life. What could be better?
When is the next full moon?
The next full moon is on February 5, 2023 in the sign of Leo. During this full moon, you’ll crave a little more props from people to help you feel good about the choices you’re making.
For now, enjoy that QT with your couch. It’s so deserved.
