Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Surprises about debt, credit cards, your partner’s wealth might be a drag today. You might quarrel about the division of labour or how to share expenses. Fortunately, lucky Jupiter is in your sign, which makes you happier, lighthearted and forgiving.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be ready for anything because today is full of surprises and interruptions, especially when dealing with partners and close friends. You might be caught off guard by something that someone else says or does. Squabbles about politics or religion might arise. Be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are more dynamic and aggressive now that Mars is in your sign and it is no longer retrograde. (Good news for you!) Therefore, be forgiving today when dealing with work colleagues or supervisors because something will interrupt your routine. A surprise related to a pet or your health might also occur.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Parents should be extra vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans will suddenly change. They might be cancelled or delayed; or you might suddenly have to respond to a last-minute invitation. Old friends from the past are still in your world.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. (It could be anything.) Do get out of bed and get dressed. Don’t be caught unprepared.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful and pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. On the upside, you might have some brilliant ideas! (They might also be duds.) Don’t be rash in accepting social invitations. Check things out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be smart today and pay attention to your money, your assets, your wealth and your possessions because something unexpected could impact them. On the upside, you might find money; on the downside, you might lose something or something you own might be damaged, lost or stolen. Be alert!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign having a standoff with unpredictable Uranus, which is why you feel impulsive and easily excitable. You might seek out anything that seems like a quick thrill. You might even start a fight with someone just to see sparks fly. (Really?)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a restless day for you. Quite possibly, something is going on behind the scenes that makes you feel on edge or vaguely uncomfortable. Or perhaps, it’s something going on in the back recesses of your mind? Fear not. This is a fleeting, brief influence. Gone by tomorrow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A friend or a member of a group might say or do something that catches you off guard today. This could be interesting or, on the other hand, you might be offended. You might also learn something that surprises you about a group, which makes you question your involvement with these people.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will be surprised or caught off guard by an authority figure today. (Take note that this includes the police.) Therefore, watch what you’re doing because you might get busted. Think twice before you respond to an authority figure. Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Travel plans will suddenly change today. They might be cancelled or delayed. Alternatively, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. Sudden arguments about politics, religion or racial issues might erupt out of the blue. Don’t react. Stay calm.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Birgitte Hjort Sorensen (1982) shares your birthday today. You have the mind of your own. You are determined, saucy and hard-working. You are kindhearted, hungry to learn and have a strong spiritual connection. Service to others is a theme for you this year. Therefore, take care of yourself so that you can help and support loved ones.

A Thought for Today

Dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may the Great Mother and Great Father, Lord and Lady, bless you and your family with all things positive!

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Full Moon in Cancer peaks at 6:08 PM EST today (3:08 PM PST).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your home routine will very likely be interrupted today. Be patient with family members, especially parents, because today’s Full Moon might trigger disputes with others. (Everyone is hyped.) Almost certainly, something unexpected will happen.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be careful Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you. On the upside, you might hear surprising news or meet someone new and unusual. Nevertheless, things are unpredictable today. Go gently and watch your step.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Keep an eye on your possessions and your money today. Make sure you know what’s happening. Something unpredictable could impact your wealth today, which means guard your possessions against loss, theft or damage. Possibly you will find money? Make friends with your bank account.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Full Moon is in your sign. This happens only once a year. so cut yourself some slack if you feel agitated, tense or impatient with others. Do something to pamper yourself. Take a special moment for yourself. You matter! By Saturday night and Sunday, all will be well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might experience some tension with coworkers today due to the Full Moon energy. Some of you might even experience some health issues because the Full Moon often brings something to a head, and then afterwards, everything subsides and problems diminish. Patience.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This could be an accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Likewise, you might encounter accidents that are sports -related. Meanwhile, relations with your kids, as well as romantic partners, will feel the tension today. The only remedy for this is patience.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Each month the Full Moon occurs in a different sign, which means it affects a different part of your chart. Full Moons are not all the same. This is why some of them are easier and some are challenging. Today is a bit tough dealing with authority figures. Stay calm.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful because the energy of today’s Full Moon might trigger an accident-prone situation for you. It could happen. For example, you might be distracted physically or emotionally by something, which in turn, could make you vulnerable or caught off guard. Think before you speak and act. Don’t be impatient.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today is the Full Moon and it sets up some tension between both your Money Houses. Therefore, be careful! Don’t make rash decisions. Don’t make assumptions. Regarding financial problems you encounter, wait until Saturday night or Sunday, because they might be resolved by then.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the only Full Moon that takes place opposite your sign all year is happening. Naturally, you will feel this as an emotional challenge when dealing with partners and close friends. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Stay chill. Be patient because this tension is gone by Saturday night.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Many people might struggle with tension from today’s Full Moon; however, I think you will slide on by. It could create some mild disputes with coworkers or perhaps a health issue for you. But whatever it is – it’s small potatoes. (French fries, really.) A temporary dark cloud on your horizon.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today’s Full Moon can put you at odds with your kids, in a minor way. It can also increase stress and tension when dealing with a romantic partner. But this is nothing you can’t handle. Focus on friend, and especially contact with old friends from your past. It’s good to have history with others.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Eddie Redmayne (1982) shares your birthday today. You are kindhearted, gentle and peace-loving. You are creative and enjoy the artistic talents of others. You work hard because you’re ambitious. This is a year of exciting change for you. Be flexible. Be willing to let go. Trust your intuition. Many of you will travel.

Question: Can Full Moon Rituals Be Done Inside

A reader writes in asking, “I want to do a full moon ritual this month, but it’s getting really cold. Will the ritual still be effective if I do it inside?

Another reader asks, “If I’m doing a full moon rite outside and the clouds cover the moon, should I start over again?

Answer:

The short answers to those are yes and no. Yes, your ritual will still be effective if you do it inside.

No, you don’t have to start over if the moon goes behind a cloud. Here’s why:

Just because you can’t see the moon doesn’t mean it’s not there, or that it’s no longer full. You’re basing your working or ritual on the energy of the full moon, and that never changes — whether you can see it or not.

 

Looking for seasonal full moon rituals? Try one of these to get you started, depending on the time of the year!

  • Autumn Full Moon Ceremony

  • This ritual can be held during any of the Autumn full moon cycles. Celebrate the Corn Moon in September, the Harvest Moon in October, and November’s Blood Moon. Although this ceremony is designed for a group, it could easily be adapted for a solitary practitioner.
  • Winter Full Moon Ceremony

  • Instead of a regular Esbat rite, some Wiccan and Pagan groups tailor their full moon celebrations to the season. This ceremony is designed for a group of at least four people, and can be held during any of the chilly winter months.
  • Spring Full Moon Ceremony

  • Celebrate the arrival of spring with a seasonal full moon. Welcome spring with a water-themed ritual adaptable for either groups or solitaries.
  • Summer Full Moon Ceremony

  • Instead of a regular Esbat rite, some Wiccan and Pagan groups tailor their full moon celebrations to the season. This ceremony is designed for a group of at least four people, and can be held during any of the sunny summer months.

Watch for January’s Full Wolf Moon!

The full Wolf Moon rises on Friday, January 6, 2023. It’s also a micromoon! How is that different from a supermoon? Learn what’s special about the January full Moon!

When to See January’s Full Moon

January’s full Wolf Moon reaches peak illumination on Friday, January 6, at 6:09 P.M. EST. At a full Moon,  the Moon is located on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun so the face of the Moon facing towards the Earth will be completely illuminated by the Sun’s rays. Look for the Moon to rise from the northeastern horizon around sunset that evening.

Consult our Moonrise Calculator to see what time you can expect to catch a glimpse of the first full Moon of 2023!

January Micromoon

January’s full Moon is a “Micromoon” this year. Think of this term as the opposite of a “Supermoon.” It simply means that the full Moon is at its farthest point from Earth (not the nearest point). In astronomical terms, we call this “apogee.” Specifically, January’s Micro full Moon is about 252,600 miles from Earth.

Why is the Moon nearer or farther (in this instance) from Earth? Simple: The Moon orbits Earth in an elliptical path. One side is nearer to Earth and one side is farther. This distance does affect the Moon’s size and brightness, although it’s probably not that visible to the naked eye. The perceived size of the Moon from Earth is more related to the “Moon Illusion” and how close the Moon appears to the horizon; in this case, it’s high above the horizon so it may not appear to loom over us the way it appears when it’s near the horizon.

Look up at the full Moon on the 6th (or a day earlier or later)! What do you think?

The sunset embers smolder low,
The Moon climbs o’er the hill,
The peaks have caught the alpenglow,
The robin’s song is still.

–John L. Stoddard (1850–1931)

Why Is It Called the Full Wolf Moon?

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not just to the full Moon itself.
