However, the timings of the full moon also hold so much significance. That’s why the year’s first new moon was given a unique name called “wolf moon.” However, not many people know about it. So, let’s find out everything about it:
What is Wolf Moon?
A Wolf Moon is the name given to the first Full Moon of the year. Although both moon and wolf have nothing in common, the name connects the activity of the typically nocturnal mammal with the lit moon face.
However, the winter brings plenty of nighttime hours, which is when wolves are often most active. The January Full Moon is the first following the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, which marks the shortest day and longest night of the year.

The spiritual meaning behind it
According to Angelica Balance, the spiritual significance of January’s Wolf Moon represents having the fortitude and inner strength to make difficult choices.
It is well known that wolves are fearless creatures who take risks. Given that the year is only getting started, a lot of changes are likely to occur in our lives, and there may be times when we must make difficult decisions.
The Wolf Moon is a period of good energy that enables us to explore our emotions in depth and choose what is best for us. Additionally, now is the moment for us to have self-assurance and make those difficult decisions while putting ourselves first.
