The Call of the Wolf Moon: Trusting Your Intuition and Heart’s Wisdom

✨ Welcome to Northern Light Lotus! ✨

Hello, friends—whether you’ve been here many times or are visiting for the very first time, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. It’s Laura, your friendly astrologer and psychic medium, inviting you to pause for a moment and settle into the beautiful, nourishing energy of today’s Full Moon in Cancer. 🌕

Take a deep breath. Pour yourself a warm cup of tea. Wrap yourself in your favorite cozy blanket, light a candle, and let this space be your little corner of peace today. This isn’t just a moment to read about the stars—it’s a moment to reconnect with yourself.

The Magic of the Wolf Moon

This Full Moon, known as the Wolf Moon, peaks tonight, January 13, 2025, at 5:27 PM EST. It’s the first Full Moon of the year, and its name comes from the howling wolves of winter, calling out to their pack. To me, this Moon feels deeply personal. Wolves represent connection, instinct, and resilience, and they also remind me of my dear friend Kevin, who has crossed over. 🐺

Kevin’s spirit animal is the wolf, and during this Wolf Moon, I feel his presence so strongly. This energy reminds me that even though we may lose someone in physical form, love and connection never truly fade. If you’ve been missing someone—here or beyond—know that this Moon is an open invitation to feel close to them again.

The Wolf Moon also encourages us to check in with our hearts. Who and what makes you feel at home? How can you create comfort for yourself today?

When and Where to Look

🌟 Peak Time: The Moon reaches its brightest at 5:27 PM EST, but you’ll be able to enjoy its glow for three nights, from January 12–14.

🌟 Rare Mars Occultation: Tonight, the Moon will pass directly in front of Mars, temporarily hiding it from view. This celestial event symbolizes finding clarity in the unexpected and uncovering truths that have been hidden. If your skies are clear, look east after sunset to witness this rare moment!

The Astrology of Today’s Full Moon

This Full Moon is in Cancer, its home sign, which means emotions, intuition, and nurturing energy are at their peak. If you’ve been feeling a little (or a lot!) emotional, you’re not alone—it’s the universe’s way of reminding you to slow down and check in with your heart.

Here’s what’s happening in the stars today:

🌟 Sun in Capricorn opposite the Moon in Cancer

This classic Full Moon aspect highlights the balance between doing and being. Are you giving your emotions the same attention you give your goals? Today is the perfect time to let go of perfectionism and simply be.

🌟 Moon conjunct Mars Retrograde in Cancer

Old emotions or frustrations may rise to the surface, but this is your chance to process and release them with love. Be patient with yourself—healing isn’t linear, and that’s okay.

🌟 Moon trine Neptune in Pisces

This dreamy, intuitive energy is perfect for creativity, reflection, and connection to your inner self. Let your imagination flow, or simply allow yourself to rest in the moment.

🌟 Moon sextile Uranus in Taurus

Emotional breakthroughs are in the air. Stay open to new insights or unexpected shifts—they’re here to help you grow in ways you didn’t see coming.

🌟 Moon opposite Pluto in Aquarius

Transformation is a theme of the night. If you’ve been holding onto something heavy, this aspect encourages you to release it and trust that what’s ahead will feel lighter.

How to Embrace the Wolf Moon Energy

This Full Moon isn’t about doing more—it’s about creating space for yourself to feel. Here are a few ways to bring some magic into your day:

• Create a moment for yourself:Light a candle, sip a warm drink, and take a few deep breaths. Let yourself pause and just be.

• Connect with your emotions:Journaling, meditating, or even just sitting quietly can help you tune into what your heart is telling you.

• Reach out to your “pack”:Whether it’s family, friends, or loved ones who’ve crossed over, let yourself feel the connection that sustains you. If you feel called, send a message to someone you care about, or whisper a thought to someone you miss.

A Personal Note

The Wolf Moon is a powerful reminder that we’re never truly alone. Whether it’s the people who surround us, the ones we carry in our hearts, or the unseen support of the universe, love always finds its way to us.

Take today to nurture yourself and reflect on what matters most. Thank you for sharing this moment with me—it’s an honor to have you here.

Today’s Closing Cosmic Wisdom 🌟✨

As we close out this journey under the glowing Full Moon in Cancer, I want to share a little personal reflection with you. This Moon is in my Sun sign, Cancer, and as someone who embodies Cancer energy deeply, I feel so connected to its themes of care, intuition, and creating a sense of home.

This Wolf Moon holds a special place in my heart because the wolf represents my dear friend in spirit, Kevin. For me, this Moon feels like an invitation to reconnect with him and honor the connections—seen and unseen—that bring meaning and comfort to our lives.

Cancer energy is so nurturing, and it’s about finding comfort, not just in your physical surroundings but also within yourself. It’s about creating a “home” wherever you are—something I strive to do in how I connect with all of you.

If you don’t have strong Cancer placements, I encourage you to lean into this energy anyway. One of the beautiful things about astrology is how it can help us discover new sides of ourselves. Use this Moon as an opportunity to explore what feels outside your comfort zone—maybe it’s expressing your emotions more freely, reaching out for support, or even just slowing down to nurture your inner world.

Reflection Prompt 🌸

Take a quiet moment to check in with yourself:

1. Where do you feel most “at home,” and how can you create more of that feeling?

2. What’s one way you can bring comfort or care to yourself or someone else today?

3. What’s a part of yourself you’d like to explore or nurture under this Moon?

“I create space for comfort and care in my life. I nurture my heart, honor my connections, and trust that I can find home within myself.”
