This month, there’s also an astrological event happening that’ll push you to ditch some lingering baggage and look forward: It’s the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer.
During this full moon, you’ll be inspired to focus on your emotional fulfillment while working on finally releasing some anger and disappointment that you’ve carried with you, says Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. But there’s a whole lot more ahead for you thanks to this astrological event.

Here’s what the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer means for your zodiac sign.
When is the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer?
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.
This full moon’s name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. The Full Wolf Moon gets its name because wolves were more likely to be heard howling during this time, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. (Fun fact: Wolves howl to find their pack members, reinforce their social bonds, and coordinate their hunting efforts.)
In astrology, every full moon syncs up with a different zodiac sign, creating a certain vibe that sways how you act and what you think. This particular full moon is in Cancer, which focuses on home and emotional well-being.
The Full Wolf Moon in Cancer will push you to release emotional baggage.
There are always going to be things in life that are cringey or upsetting when you look back at them—that’s just part of being an adult. But some things can be harder to move past than others. The Full Wolf Moon in Cancer is going to push you to shake those off harder than Taylor Swift and finally move forward.
“This full moon can bring up stuff where there is emotional baggage or anger,” Page says. Maybe you’re upset that someone you were interested in ghosted you or you ended up feeling slighted at work at one point and you’re struggling to move on. “The energy around this moon is about being able to finally release it,” Page says.
This full moon is also connected with Mars, the planet of action, which is really going to propel you forward, according to Page. That might mean having a heart-to-heart with someone who did you wrong in the past or just accepting that you can’t control everything or change the past and simply move on.
The moon’s vibes will also push you to focus on the things that matter in your life, including your home and family. Neptune is in the picture to create a softer energy, too, Page says.
“You’ll want to feel safe and content deep, deep down,” Page says. So, expect to spend some cozy nights in with family and friends, and maybe even invest in a new comforter for your bed and throw pillows for your couch. Your home is your sanctuary, after all—it’s time to lean into that.
Finally, the new moon may also influence your love life. Venus, the planet of love, is pushing for romance and unconditional love, and you’ll be all about it, according to Page.
The full moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says that Cancer and Capricorn will feel it the most.
The Full Wolf Moon in Cancer will inspire you to focus on yourself going forward.
There are a ton of different people you can help take care of in your life, and that’s still an important thing. But the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer will push you to move your own needs up the list more often. Like, if you’re not in the best emotional shape, how can you be good for other people?
So, you’ll work a little harder at letting things go in the future. That won’t happen overnight, but doing your best to move on from things that you can’t change will go a long way toward you feeling more mentally healthy down the road.
At the same time, you’ll try to check in a little more with family members and people in your inner circle, along with actively working to boost your bond with your SO. Putting all that love out there, and doing your best to save some for yourself, can go a long way toward making sure it comes back around at some point.
When is the next full moon?
The next full moon is on February 12, 2025, in the sign of Leo. During this full moon, you’ll be fueled by feedback and work to make yourself better.
For now, enjoy the feeling of letting go—it’ll help you to feel mentally freer and happier going forward.
