Welcome to the Wolf Full Moon in Cancer!
The Wolf’s Full Moon in Cancer occurring on January 13th marks the first Full Moon of the year 2025. The Moon finds its truest expression in the nurturing embrace of Cancer, inviting us to cultivate a profound sense of belonging within our own souls.
During this period, we might feel a heightened desire for comfort, guiding us to embrace what truly holds significance in our lives. The essence of Cancer encourages us to open our heart center, guiding us to embrace love and nurturing not only for those around us but also for our own well-being.
As we transition into the new year, consider how you can embrace self-love and nurture your spirit. What practices can you embrace to cultivate a sense of fullness and truly feel at home within your own being?
The dynamic energy of Mars will be moving in retrograde during this Full Moon, introducing a veil of uncertainty and complexity to our experiences. The resonance of this experience is likely to be most profoundly felt within the depths of our own consciousness. It is possible that we encounter challenges in deciphering our emotions, or our thoughts may be racing at an accelerated pace.
The energy surrounding this Full Moon is potent and inviting us to take a moment for introspection. As we navigate the experiences that arise, let us remember to embrace this opportunity for reflection and patience. It is essential to embrace the present moment and acknowledge that not all questions require immediate resolution. Allow yourself the grace to exist in a space of uncertainty, for it is within this unknowing that profound insights can emerge.
During Mars retrograde, you may experience a sensation of moving one step forward and then two steps back. It is advisable to refrain from rushing ahead and instead concentrate on harmonizing your inner landscape first. In this way, clarity will emerge, allowing you to perceive the answers and progress you seek in your external reality.
Should you wish to harness these cosmic influences in a straightforward yet impactful manner, I present to you a ritual to guide your journey.
I hope you like it.
Cancer Full Moon Ritual
To achieve the best possible outcomes, the ritual ought to be carried out around the 8th to the 18th of January in the year 2025.
Requirements
- Water
- Tools to smudge, your choice
- A favorite essential oil
- Bowl
- A piece of amethyst or clear quartz
- Two candles
What Are You Going to Do?
Step One: Getting Your Favorite Essential Oil
Start the ritual by choosing your favorite essential oil. Don’t be completely conscious about what you do. Let your instincts take charge and choose your favorite oil. It indicates new beginnings—let your soul guide you there.
Step Two: Smudging the Area
You must smudge your surroundings, the area where you will perform the ritual, and the ingredients you will use. Select your preferred smudging tool and initiate the process while chanting the following mantra:
“I cleanse the energies from my body that are weighing me down. I cleanse my body from all the emotions that no longer serve me a greater purpose. I cleanse my body physically from the aches, stiffness, and blocks that do not make me healthy. I am becoming purer and whole with pure energy. I’m becoming clear with my positive emotions. I’m reaching my truest state of health without any bodily problems. Cleansing is making me complete. I’m now cleansed through and through. Thank you.”
Step Three: Preparing the Items
Fill the bowl with water. Place the bowl between two candles and then light them.
Step Four: Relaxing
Take the crystal in your hand and hold onto it. Take deep breaths. This is your moment—relax before jumping into it. Settle down. Recharge. Calm your mind and heart.
Step Five: Visualize
As you hold onto the crystal, keep your eyes closed and visualize the energy that has been within you all this while. See the energy as it is—the bad, the good, and the feelings in between. Feel it all coming together, clumping into a green ball before you. Let it grow. Let all your stresses, joys, sorrows, and laughs join together in a large ball.
Step Six: Letting It Go
As soon as you realize that the green ball has become a giant and contains all the energies of the year, let it go. Take in a deep breath and breathe out on the crystal. Be loud and clear. Imagine that the green ball is moving out of you through your breath. Keep exhaling until you can feel the giant green ball has cleared.
Step Seven: Repeat Your Affirmation
Pick up the bowl containing water and swirl it with your finger—counterclockwise. Put the crystal in water and chant your choice of affirmation:
“Here, I let go of all the energy that I had collected in 2024. I am thankful for what it has taught me; I’m thankful for how much I have grown during this time. I cherish the lessons; I treasure the failures. I respect and love all the wonderful people I have met and all the lives I have affected. I celebrate my triumphs, and I respect my failures, for they have made me stronger. I thank the Cosmos for it.”
Step Eight: Be Grateful
Think of five things you are grateful for this year. Reflect upon them, feel them, and celebrate all of them. You have learned a lot and achieved a lot—enjoy it.
Step Nine: Be Open to the New
Put a few drops of your chosen essential oils in the water. Swirl it clockwise. Chant the following, or feel free to create your own:
“I’m now ready for the new. I have an open mind and would welcome the coming year—the new beginning, the fresh start. There are new lessons waiting for me. There are new adventures and new people waiting for me in 2025. I’m ready for them. I’m ready for 2025. It will be mine.”
Step Ten: Strengthen Your Heart & Third Eye
Dip your finger in the water and apply it on your third eye and over the heart center. Feel it as the water seals your intentions.
Step Eleven: Concluding the Ritual
Conclude with a prayer. This is your personal prayer—say it from within. Thank your angels and your well-wishers. Thank the Cosmos for helping you grow. Respect your strengths, recall what you learned over the year, and rejoice in it. Add a wish if you want. Let this be a prayer for you.
Step Twelve: Treatment of Ingredients Afterwards
Extinguish the burning candles. If you want, you can put the bowl of water, including the crystal in it, under the bright light emitted by the Full Moon. However, since amethyst and quartz are self-cleaning crystals, you can use them again for future rituals. You can dab this water the following morning over your heart center and on your third eye. If you don’t want to, you can dispose of it too—in your bathroom or in the garden.
2025 brings all sorts of surprises. Be prepared for it; don’t remain held back by the past. You need all the pure strength in you—make it happen with this ritual.
