The January 2023 full wolf moon in Cancer will be moody as f–k
Happy New Year star seeds.
As we burn what’s been and look forward to what will be we do so under the light of the first full moon of 2023.
The Wolf Moon in Cancer arrives on Friday January 6th, reaching its prime and peak opportunity to howl, at 6:08 P.M. ET.
In terms of numerology, 2023 is a seven and the tarot card associated is The Chariot. This card represents the need to gain command over our emotions in order to navigate thoughtfully and progressively in our relationships with others and on our path to personal actualization.
This paradigm becomes increasingly important under a Cancer full moon when emotions run high and our proverbial feels run deep, deep, deep. Cancer is ruled by the moon and when the full moon falls in this sign we are at our moodiest and moon-iest. Think belly aches, blue notes and increased nipple sensitivity.
Ruling the fourth house of home and root systems, Cancer is the most nostalgic sign in the zodiac, a bit of a blessing and a bane depending on where and how you cast your reflective lens. Idealizing a lost relationship? Candy coating your childhood? Self-destructive wistfulness? These tendencies might pacify us in the present moment but serve only and ever to paralyze our progress. This courting of what has been is enhanced by the ongoing influence of Mercury’s retrograde in Capricorn, itself a time of backspinning and a return/retreat to the intangible past.
With every new year we are newborns and as such get to choose how and why and with what degree of tenderness and structure we raise ourselves.
Yet, while this retrograde and this lunation ask us to look back they encourage us to do so with the clear intention of building from it, rather than longing for it.

Full moon in Cancer 2023
The full moon in Cancer coincides with the sun shining in boot strapping, belt tightening, legacy building Capricorn. In astrology, Capricorn and the sun are synonymous with the father while Cancer and the moon are associated with the archetype of the mother. When these parental luminaries are in cahoots, our childhoods, the wounds we incurred during them and the insecurities we carry out of them are high on the horizon.
Yet, we are also presented with the divine opportunity to reparent ourselves. With every new year we are newborn and as such get to choose how and with what degree of tenderness and structure we raise ourselves. My preferred exercise for this lunation is to write a list of what you needed as a child and weren’t given (don’t show your mom) and see how and if you can give yourself those things in some literal or metaphorical way this year.
How can we take responsibility for reparenting and fulfulling ourselves and how can this…
