Wolf speaking to the Cosmos.

I don’t really follow astrology. For me, the planets do not guide or determine our future—our choices and actions do.
However, I am deeply aware of the energy each planet carries, and how that energy, through location and placement in the sky, can influence timing when we consciously connect with it.

We may make similar choices at many points in life, yet when planetary energies align in specific ways, those same choices can carry greater weight, visibility, or consequence. The sky does not decide for us—but it can illuminate when something is ready to be seen, felt, or acted upon.

“You don’t have to believe what I believe. Just stay present in your truth.”

With that understanding, what follows arose beneath the Wolf Full Moon—a moment when timing, truth, and choice converged.

The Wolf Full Moon: Standing in Truth Without Violence

Reflections on the January 3, 2026 Full Moon in Cancer

The Wolf Full Moon arrives not to frighten us, but to call us home.

On January 3, 2026, the Full Moon rose in Cancer—sign of the Divine Mother, emotional truth, belonging, and protection—during Capricorn season, the realm of structure, authority, and consequence. At the same time, Mars stood fully illuminated opposite Jupiter, revealing a stark contrast between force and conscience, impulse and wisdom.

This was not merely an astronomical event. It was a threshold.

A Full Moon in Cancer does not allow what has been buried to remain hidden. Feelings long contained, grief long postponed, and truths long softened for safety rise to the surface asking to be felt, named, and honored. When Mars is fully lit, action itself is exposed—no longer masked by strategy or denial. And when Jupiter opposes Mars, humanity is asked a timeless question:

Just because we can, does that mean we should?

The Wolf Moon has many names—Stay Home Moon, Quiet Moon, Severe Moon—but its oldest teaching is this: the wolf survives by knowing its voice and its pack. This is a moon of remembering where we belong and choosing to stand in truth without becoming what we resist.

Asteroid Harmonia, positioned between Mars and Jupiter, quietly reminded us that harmony cannot be imposed. Peace does not arise through domination. Balance comes only when inner dissonance is faced with honesty and compassion.

On the planetary level, this Moon illuminated collective tensions that could no longer be ignored. On the human level, it revealed where blame binds us into victimhood and where responsibility can return us to sovereignty. On the personal level, it asked each of us to remove the masks we no longer need, to stop hiding our tenderness or our strength, and to hold unconditional love with uncompromising boundaries.

This Moon did not ask for violence.
It asked for presence.
It did not ask us to fight.
It asked us to howl—to let our truth be heard without harm.

Grounding Reflection: Returning to the Body and the Earth

If this Full Moon stirred strong emotions, exhaustion, or a sense of inner pressure, pause here.

Place one hand on your heart and one on your lower belly.
Feel the steadiness beneath the movement.

Breathe slowly and imagine your breath traveling downward—through your body, into the Earth, where all intensity is composted into wisdom. Let the nervous system settle. Let the mind soften.

You may say silently or aloud:

I am safe to feel.
I am grounded in the present moment.
What rises within me is information, not danger.

Stay with the breath until the body responds with a subtle sense of ease.

The Wolf Moon Vow Practice: A Living Commitment

This vow practice may be used at any Full Moon, during times of upheaval, or whenever you sense a call to step forward more fully.

Read each line slowly. Pause where it resonates.

• I stay devoted to all my rebirths.
• Every day, I become closer and closer to the person I needed when I was young.
• Every day, I become more and more the person I was never allowed to be.
• I vow to experience as much of the splendor of the world as I can before I leave it.
• I vow to let the world experience me at my most splendid.
• I choose to live in a world that I love, and so, I create it.
• I love myself. I become love itself.

After reading, place your hand on your heart and ask gently:

What is one small way I can live this vow today?

Let the answer be simple. Let it be kind. Let it be real.

Closing Blessing

May we stand in our truth without violence.
May we release blame and reclaim responsibility.
May we find our pack not through fear, but through resonance.
And may each voice that rises in honesty help create a world where it is safe to be seen.

The Wolf Moon has howled.
The rest is up to us.
