January’s full moon is nicknamed the Wolf Moon, receiving its name from indigenous cultures in North America that heard the howling of the wolves. Here's what to know.

The distant howls of wolves will ring in the first full moon of the new year. You might feel like you were born to be wild, since the full moon in Cancer—a.k.a. the Wolf Moon—will affect each zodiac sign. Release your inner wolf, and forge forward during this brooding lunation.

The Full Wolf Moon in Cancer is happening on January 13, 2025. At this point in life, you probably are well versed in the moon’s cycles. But, just in case, the moon goes through different phases each month and during a full moon, it looks like a big ball shining down from the sky.
