The Wolf Moon, the first full moon of the year, is set to dazzle the skies this January, bringing with it a sense of wonder and ancient folklore. This celestial event, steeped in tradition, has captured human imagination for centuries.

The wolf moon is seen in 2023 rising over the Atlantic Ocean on Friday, Jan. 6, 2023 in Stuart, Florida. The year's first full moon is best known as the "wolf moon" since wolves’ howls were more likely to be heard during winter, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

The Wolf Moon will arrive on Jan. 13, 2025, at 05:27 p.m. ET, according to NASA. The moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Sunday evening into Wednesday morning, the agency said.

Cancer zodiac signs may be notable for its nurturing and tender energy, but don’t be fooled by this water sign’s softness. The spiritual meaning of the Wolf Moon actually reflects its namesake beautifully, as this lunation is all about strength, tenacity, and the importance of taking care of your pack.
