While a full moon always symbolises release, the first moon of the year is particularly significant to astrologers because itโ€™s thought to set the tone for the rest of the year. So, before you start your full moon manifestation, letโ€™s explain what this moon is will bring.

Why Januaryโ€™s Full Moon Called A Wolf Moon?

Traditionally, Januaryโ€™s full moon is known as the Wolf Moon because of the hungry wolves who would howl in the dead of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

However, itโ€™s also sometimes called the โ€˜Centre Moonโ€™ due to it being halfway through the winter season in the north, and offers a symbol of hope that spring is not too far away.

In the Southern Hemisphere, we can always see this moon as our own โ€˜Centre Moonโ€™ in relation to our own seasons, and the fact that the intensity of summerโ€™s heat wonโ€™t last for too much longer.

What To Expect From The Full Moon In Leo

Youโ€™re going to feel more confident this month.

Januaryโ€™s full moon will only ever rise in Leo or Cancer. Last year, the full moon rose in introspective and emotional Cancer, which means that this year, weโ€™re getting Leoโ€™s passion.

Leo is a dramatic, confident and rather self-interested sign, which means that we can expect to receive out own confidence boost.

In fact, this full moon is a good time to pitch your new ideas, indulge your greatest fantasies and generally try and put yourself first for once.

What To Watch Out For This Full Moon

Donโ€™t be surprised if the urge to quit your job and go travelling takes hold.

With more motivation to follow your dreams and desires, be careful about not falling off track. With Aquariusโ€™s rebellious streak taking hold, think twice about any huge decisions (such as quitting your job to go travelling) and make sure you donโ€™t overindulge every whim.

Itโ€™s also important to note that all full moons can make you feel the emotions, and with this one being in the dramatic sign of Leo, donโ€™t be surprised if youโ€™re a little more passionate than usual.
