The 13th marks the first full moon of 2025, and it will be visible for three days-Sunday evening into Wednesday morning.
The first full moon of the year is called Wolf Moon. The research I did tells me it is from Native Americans, and it is the mating season of wolves. I find it pretty interesting where the names for these moons throughout the year come from and the history behind it.
This Wolf Moon is in Cancer, which happens to be its ruling planet and a water sign. Water signs can be intuitive, creative, and emotional. I interpret this moon as a good time to slow down, go deep with my feeling and healing processes. This is a great time to begin my meditation and dive more into my spiritual practices.
The 13th is a Monday, and I have a full day of work, but I will not let that stop me from feeling the energy of this moon and the day. As the day lies in cancer, I will channel its’ energy- a cozy, mellow feel surrounded with intuitive energy. I will do what I need to do and go where I need to go and avoid doing things that aren’t a necessity. I want to soak up this homely energy and really settle myself into it whether I am at work, or at home.
Start my day off with a fresh shower and engage in my self-care rituals. The energy will be maxed tomorrow, as full moons are at their peak with light. Full moons can represent shedding what is old and illuminating the new. To have ideas/goals/tasks come to fruition and to let go of what is no longer needed.
I did an oracle reading for the Wolf moon and what to focus on until the new moon on the 29th. The deck I use is Threads of Fate, Lumen edition of the Oracle deck.
I pulled Patience, and I always need to have patience. This card asks me to be patient and to trust the divine timing. Remain grounded and look to the earth for guidance in cultivating patience. I must remain faithful that my own process is happening at the right time. Turtle, chamomile and petrified wood were the themes I can call upon to help guide me through this time. The turtle will help me with consistency during my venture. Chamomile with assist me with destressing and will support me with patience and divine timing. The petrified wood will fuel me with ancient knowing of divine timing.
I take from this pull, simply the name of the card, patience. I struggle with being patient as I want “it” now. This will be a task that will help me grow as a human being.
Celebrate this Wolf moon and put out some water to infuse it with this energy we are receiving and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Each day is the perfect day to start again and to reinvent yourself for yourself. Don’t let anything stop you from being your best self. It starts with you.
