Each month’s full moon has its own name related to the season or nature. This moon’s name comes from Native American tribes who heard the howling wolves during the cold nights in January.
This was of course in the northern hemisphere’s winter season. Here in South Africa it is summer in January, so to us it’s just a full moon – the first of the year, and happens to fall in the constellation of Leo.
So we have the wolf and the lion characteristics combined, making it a bit of a wild card, an indication of the energy that lies ahead! Are you ready?
