Welcome to the first major lunar moment of 2025. Traditionally nicknamed the Full Wolf Moon, this year’s inaugural lunation peaks on January 13 and takes place in the tender-hearted sign of Cancer — the sign ruled by the moon itself.
This meaningful full moon has the power to connect us all to our emotions, giving us the strength to process these feelings and express them thoughtfully.
But for some zodiac signs, January’s full moon will be even more intense. Check it out!
1 – Aries (March 21 – April 19):
You’ve been especially focused on your career during the past few weeks of Capricorn season, but you’ll likely want to temporarily pause your professional plans during this full moon, as it’s hitting one of the most personal and sensitive areas of your birth chart. Deep memories may surface now, and while it might be tempting to set them aside while you focus on your ambitions, you should slow down and process these revelations. Your emotions are not a burden — they have much to teach you, and ignoring them will only make it harder to move forward with your worldly goals.
Additionally, this lunation is tied to a strong conjunction with your ruling planet Mars, which is in the midst of an intense retrograde period. Motivation and patience levels may be lower during this time, making it all the more important to give yourself space to process during this lunar moment.
2 – Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The assertive planet Mars has been retrograde in your sign since January 6, making it challenging to openly express feelings of anger, frustration, or even desires. But when the full moon peaks in your sign, you’ll find that your emotions suddenly feel much more accessible. Now is the time to sit with your feelings and turn your attention inward instead of focusing on others. Allow yourself to feel exactly as you do — there’s no need to worry about people’s judgments or expectations.
Challenge yourself to share your truths instead of keeping things bottled up, as setting your feelings aside to please those you love will only make you feel more distant.
3 – Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
It’s your season, Capricorn, so you’ve been ultra-focused on your goals and desires over the past few weeks. But this full moon is hitting the opposite side of the zodiac and activating your house of partnerships, so it’s time for an emotional check-in with your relationships. You may have found it difficult to take the initiative with others lately, and expressing your feelings to partners may have felt tense or delicate. And while this full moon might make you particularly sensitive, it will also give you the opportunity to release some of the pressure you’ve been feeling in your closest connections, paving the way for more open and honest communication.
How can you give a little more attention to your relationships? Do you feel comfortable and secure with the people closest to you? This lunation will shed light on ways you can level up in your partnerships and be truer to yourself.
