It’s not exactly fun to be told what to do under any circumstances. But, when the universe gets involved, there’s basically zero chance you’ll fall in line if you don’t want to.

Well, the full moon in Leo is here to push you even more than usual into just doing your own thing—no questions asked. The astrological event is happening on January 28, 2021, and it’s going to make you crave following your heart in just about every area of your life, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta.

Of course, there’s more to it than that. Here’s what else your zodiac sign can expect from the full moon in Leo.

What is the Full Wolf Moon in Leo?

Quick astronomy recap: The moon moves through different phases and, when it’s a full moon, it looks like a big, round ball in the sky.

This particular full moon gets its name from history, including from Native American, Colonial American, and European sources.

It’s thought that the Full Wolf Moon was referred to as such because wolves were more often heard howling at this time of year, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. The moon is also referred to by other names, including the Center Moon, Cold Moon, Severe Moon, and Hard Moon.

How will the Full Wolf Moon in Leo affect your zodiac sign?

The Full Wolf Moon in Leo has strong ties to Jupiter, a planet that makes you want total freedom, Page says. Under this full moon, you’ll want to get out, explore life, and not have anyone—your boss, your parents, your S.O.—try to tell you where to be and when.

At the same time, you’ll do a check-in with your heart. What is it trying to tell you? Do you feel loved and empowered when you’re with your friends, or do you feel like someone in your life is holding you back? If so, it’s time to make a change.

The Full Wolf Moon in Leo will also push you to go after what you really, really want. Learning to play the mandolin? Booking a lesson RN. That highly sought-after promotion? It's yours. A fulfilling, supportive relationship? Consider it done.

Speaking of relationships…this particular full moon is linked with Venus, stirring up some pretty intense passion in you. You’ll be fired up to do what feels right for you, whether it’s being super honest in conversations with your S.O. or speaking up about what you need in bed.

How will the Full Wolf Moon in Leo impact your future?

It kind of depends on how you approach it. If you take this time to pursue what you really want to do—blocking out haters in the process, of course—then you could create a better environment for yourself where you’re more in charge of your own life (which, of course, is how it should be). Sure, your work and your family will have some thoughts on things, but being able to stand up and say what you want, when you want it can ultimately help push you to be the best and happiest version of yourself.

Also, weeding out negative Nancys in your life is only going to do you a major solid in the mental health department. That friend who is always making backhanded compliments about your career? You don’t need her.

Finally, speaking up in your relationship about what you do and don’t want is important for creating the love life that works for you—now and in the future. After all, you only deserve the best, right?

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon is on February 27, 2021 in the sign of Virgo. Just a heads up: You might feel the urge to get uber organized during that time.

But, for now, just focus on getting yours.
