Alright friends, as January unfolds the Full Wolf Moon lights up the night, inviting us to explore our deep emotions, security needs and nurturing tendencies as Cancer is naturally the astrological mother
This moon phase coupled with the North Node moving into Pisces and the South Node transitioning into Virgo, lays the groundwork for huuuge changes and fresh insights on our spiritual journeys
In this post we will explore what these celestial events mean for you and provide actionable steps to harness this powerful energy(:
Understanding the Full Wolf Moon
The Full Wolf Moon gets its name from the howling wolves that echoed through January nights, signaling the heart of winter. Traditionally, this time encourages introspectionâwhen frigid temperatures push us indoors, we find opportunities for reflection as well as deep connection with those closest to us such as friends and family
In Cancer the Full Wolf Moon prompts us to dive deep into our emotional well-being and examine our personal foundations
Ruled by the Moon Cancer amplifies the emotional intensity we're experiencing as well as innately guides us to re-evaluate any "Mother" dynamics in the home, ourselves and a need to re parent our inner child
It is important to honor your relationship with the mother, understanding your relationship with her is the blueprint to which all other relationships are nurtured
For women- This Looks like how we trust other feminine energy in friends, how we take care of others and ourselves
For Men- This looks like how we choose a partner, what triggers may arise (If any)
It is important in all genders that any unhealed mother wounds can result in lack of emotional maturity, confidence in self, ability to speak your truth, and even your financial literacy is governed by the womb space, and therefore any over-dependence with a mother must be healed to gain full independence
So naturally as connection is so highlighted this phase encourages us to assess our relationships with family, home, and our ability to nurture ourselves first and foremost
Itâs a prime time to release old wounds and embrace healing
Allow warmth and divine love to reshape your sense of belonging <3 Remember to keep forgiveness in your heart above all
The North Node Shifts into Pisces
The North Nodeâs entry into Pisces heralds a new chapter filled with spiritual awakening
The North Node represents our collective destiny and the lessons we are here to learn, our "True north" If you will-- while Pisces embodies intuition, creativity and psychic gifts. This cosmic shift encourages us to expand our current awareness and make room for magic
These energies heavily encourage artistic pursuits or tapping into their deeper emotions
For example, you might discover a passion for painting or poetry you never knew you had! Have fun with it and be open to create in new ways(:
The South Node in Virgo
In contrast the South Nodeâs transition into Virgo highlights the habits we must let go of
The South Node represents our past, and patterns that are no longer of any benefit to us Virgo is known for its detail oriented and analytical nature, can lead to overthinking and perfectionism, traits that says even too much of a good thing can prove to be unhealpfull
This is the ideal moment to identify behaviors that trap you in past harmful identity such as self- sabotage, addictions, blame, avoidance etc...
Under this full moon you will be encouraged to re create yourself ANEW
Nurturing Yourself Under the Full Moon
Prioritizing self-care during this lunar event is essential. Listening to your needs will help heal any inner child wounds of your needs not being met
Here are some nurturing practices I like to do--
Journaling: Writing down your thoughts and feelings- NO JUDGEMENT, helps to clear negative energy and find clarity
Candle Rituals: Lighting a candle creates a warm protective atmosphere helping you feel guided during this reflective time
Cleansing Baths: A bath infused with calming essentials like lavender can ease stress and soothe the spirit and help us feel safe in our bodies
Cuddle Up With Loved Ones: Spend quality time with friends or family. Share stories about your favorite memories and strengthen your connections
Embracing Change
The cosmos is clearly urging us toward transformation. Reflect on how these astrological shifts resonate with your life. Are there areas where you can let go of control and embrace compassion? Are you ready to release perfectionism and simply allow yourself to experience life and simply allow yourself the happiness you deserve?
This period invites you to craft a new narrativeâone that harmonizes practicality with spiritual growth. Let the energy of Pisces inspire your creative endeavors as you shed limiting beliefs that Virgo may uphold.
Practical Tips for Navigating the Full Wolf Moon Energy
Set Intentions: Clarify your intentions for what you wish to create or release
Meditate on Your Emotions: Pay attention to the feelings that arise during this time. Journaling about them can deepen your understanding and offer insight
Connect with Nature: Spend time outdoors under the moonlight! Touch and sit with trees and water. Being in nature helps ground us during emotional changes
Community: Seek opportunities for connection. Engaging in community events or group activities can foster healing for yourself and others
Trust Your Intuition: The Pisces influence encourages you to follow your gut instincts.
That little voice that will always guide you to truth? Yes my loves, listen to that hehe
Closing message:
As the Full Wolf Moon casts its glow, it serves as a significant reminder to honor our emotional selves and nurture our inner worlds, our hopes and dreams
With the North Node shifting into Pisces and the South Node moving into Virgo, the universe encourages us to release what no longer contributes to our growth and to dream larger- Shoot for the stars
May this lunar event empower you to explore the depths of your heart and spirit. Embrace change, prioritize your emotional well-being pouring into your own cup first and above all- TRUST in the journey that lies ahead
It's about to get even more beautiful
-SO much love to you sweet friends, Cat <3
