Wolf Moon in Leo
January 25th, Wolf Moon in Leo – This is the first full moon of the new year and therefore also a powerful time to set intentions for the new year and let go of things from the old year.
What you might experience:
The need to express yourself or be more expressive. The theme of “being seen” is active.
You might also feel a stronger urge to engage in creative activities, which can be very motivating during this full moon.
Although the moon is in Leo, the sun is in Aquarius. This brings some tension because these two signs are opposites. Leo is very good at prioritizing itself, while Aquarius stands more for the group's interests and tends to quickly sacrifice or set itself aside. This tension can lead to conflicts within yourself or in your interactions with others. Especially for Aquarius, "taking up space" is a reinforcing theme during this moon. They are encouraged to put themselves at the center and ideally embrace the joy in doing so.
During this moon, the desire for growth and the urge to walk your unique path, regardless of others' expectations, are emphasized. It also invites you to stand in your power. You might become extra aware of the control of others, and this moon invites you to be more conscious of what this does to you, and then stand up for what you need. You deserve to be here.
What else might you notice?
You might be extra sensitive, have trouble sleeping, and experience restlessness.
A greater need for expansion and freedom.
Deep feelings such as anger, injustice, or resistance to change might surface.
You might also experience headaches, flu-like symptoms, dizziness, and heart palpitations in the days surrounding this full moon – make sure to rest and listen to your body.
Reflective questions: To use the power of this moon to your advantage, you can work on some reflective questions aligned with this moon’s theme:
How did you deal with the theme of “being seen” as a child? Are there patterns from this that are still visible in your life today?
How might these patterns influence your life? How can you use them as strengths or transform them?
How can you show yourself more? And what form of expression would you like to embrace?
Invitation to "play more" – What does that mean for you? What can you do or plan now that brings you joy?
