Full Moon is in Cancer & We’re Full of Emotions.
Welcome to the first full moon of the year. it’s the Wolf moon the be exact! The Wolf Moon occurs when a lunar eclipse happens and the moon passes directly behind the Earth so that the Sun, Moon, and Earth become exactly or very closely aligned.
It’s a beautiful thing.
This Full Moon is in Cancer means we are full of emotions at this time. Cancer is a water sign and water on the planet is controlled by the Moon. If you have been feeling extra emotional lately thats perfectly normal, feel it and let it out. Let the tears out and be cleansed by your salt water tears! Now is the perfect time to be working with water, so definitely incorporate it into this months ritual.
Right now is about a personal experience and going inward. It’s about stepping in a new direction and either letting go or moving toward completing something. Superpower it and do exactly what you need for you at this time!
Herbs that can help at this time include Lemon Balm which is a full moon herb and a herb for managing emotions. Scullcap is another herb that helps you relax when in an emotional state. It promotes calmness and helps to be centered in it. Comfrey is a safe guard for you and your community. It’s a yin herb that is deeply nourishing!
Things you can do to ignite your power is to journal, take a salt water bath, meditate, and write down your goals. The most powerful thing to do at this time is a Ritual!
No worries, If you missed the the first night of the Full Moon, you are in luck we will be in this phase until Sunday January 12th.

The Ritual
First, I recommend Smudging your space to clean the rooms energy.
Meditate by listening to a guided meditation on letting go, listen to some meditative music, or use a mantra.
“I release the need for those things in my life that are not serving my purpose or higher self . I am not afraid to let go. In their place I receive love joy and abundance. And so it is.”
Close your eyes and breathe deep.
When you feel ready to write down one area or specific thing in your life you want to let go.
Burn the piece of paper with candle flame and bring over the bowl of water. As it burns really imagine letting it go.
After you’ve let it go, cleanse – bathe with rose petals, salts, and/or crystals. Feel the energy of what you are trying to let go and let it drain from your system as the water drains from the tub.
Put on some relaxing music.
Move in the moonlight!
Pull some tarot or oracle cards for advice for the next month until the next full moon ‘What do I need to know about the next month?’
I hope you feel rejuvenated and able to fully let go of whatever you want out of your life! You did the work and the universe will work with you at this time and always to make sure you are taken care of. I hope this helped as a guide in some way for you to complete your first Full Moon Ritual of the year! Stay tuned every month for Full Moon and New Moon posts!
