The first full moon of 2025 is about to make its appearance on the night of Monday, January 13, and is known as the Wolf Moon or Cold Moon and its importance in astrology is because many people take its arrival as the perfect time to clarify their New Year’s resolutions.
It is also known as the ice moon or old moon, as it is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs in the middle of winter, with cold and very clear skies in the northern hemisphere, before passing in front of Mars, in a spectacle that will be visible in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
In astrology, full moons represent a moment of culmination and fulfillment. It is a time when emotions and intuition are heightened and you can see things more clearly.
What is the meaning of the Wolf Moon?
It is known as the Wolf Moon because it is the season when they are “most likely to hear wolves howling at that time”. The website Spiritualty & Health notes that Native American tribes long believed they howled out of hunger, but it is now known that there were other reasons, including communication with their pack and protection of their territory.
As the moon illuminates the sky, spiritually it can be used for reflection and as a reminder that there is an invisible connection with the pack, that is, with the people close to whom one can honor on the night of the wolf moon.
Each full moon is accompanied by a zodiac sign, which is determined by its position in the night sky in relation to the different astrological signs.
Each year, the moon will change, resulting in different characteristics surrounding it, according to astrologer Kyle Thomas, known for his cosmic guidance among celebrities, businesses and online influencers. In 2025, the wolf moon is positioned as a full moon in Cancer.
