The Wolf Moon Reveals Where You Lead — and Where You Belong
Jan 02, 2026
This Wolf Moon illuminates the places you learned to shape-shift to stay safe - and the deeper truth: you were never meant to fit into a pack that required your disappearance, complacency and dimmed agree-ance. It rises this weekend, full, fierce, intense and highly illuminating with Cancer supporting its depths. It's energy is touching the deep waters of the emotions of the soul, so trust what rises from the soul, from the heart, from the mind.
Wolves reminds us that we are not meant to fit ourselves into someone else’s pack, to shrink or mold who we are to belong with any old group, structure or system. For decades, I tried to fit myself into 'packs' that couldn't fully receive me - and I would find myself shaping, shrinking, bending, in the hope of acceptance, or to at least belong somewhere for a moment.
I learned slowly, and sometimes painfully, that no amount of blending, dimming, settling or shrinking could give me the alignment I craved. True belonging doesn’t come from molding yourself to another’s perception of what is right or wrong, nor their rhythm or their beliefs; it comes from standing in your own frequency, fully, boldly, unapologetically and uniquely.
Some of us are meant to lead our own pack, carrying and radiating our energy as a beacon. And for those who have felt the pull of the lone wolf - wandering, observing, cautious, never quite being able to blend with the pack - the light of this full moon illuminates the real need for community and relationships that emotionally, mentally and spiritually, resonates with you. This is a year that many will discover the pack, the tribe, that honours your frequency without asking you to shrink, agree or be the same as everyone else - Instead they will raise you in your truth and support your role.
The howl of the wolf on this full moon, boldly brings the deep questions. Questions we often postpone or are too afraid to hear the real answer: Where have you tried to fit, to please, to blend, when your soul has been calling for truth, for self-authority, for clarity, for peace, for freedom? Where are you ready to stand fully in your wild, luminous self?
The intensity of this energy brings me to a twist in the powerful story of the two wolves within each of us: one is “good,” the other “bad.” Traditionally, we are told that we must “feed the good wolf” to be virtuous, and I honour this truth, while another view arises from it's core on this Full Moon....what if the good wolf isn’t about being good for anyone else at all - and is instead about you. About being good to you?
I love when a twist in a story rises organically from the depths of the soul - it beckons the 'good' wolf to be redefined as a symbol of honouring, reverence and an embrace of the whole of you. While the 'bad' wolf redefined becomes the powerful illuminator in the shadows of where you've denied, shamed, fragmented, or shrunk yourself into the darkness of a corner - which we've all done and wanted to do.
Feeding the good wolf in this sense means: honouring yourself, affirming yourself, claiming yourself, committing to yourself, loving yourself. It is choosing you, leaning into your frequency, and stepping fully into the fierce heart and soul of the Wolf Moon. To embrace the good wolf is to embrace you fully - to feel yourself, to claim yourself, to refuse to deny the pulse that is yours alone. To embrace the dance that makes your bones sing, to give your truth permission to roll of your tongue in the quiet of the night.
This new year welcomes you to let the Wolf Moon howl within your chest. Let it remind you: you are whole, you are wild, and you are meant to lead yourself boldly, belong to yourself authentically, and claim your truth, power, dreams and alignment fully.
I love how powerful stories from our ancestors, often bring flashes of perception beyond its traditional teaching that deepen and amplify a truth, perspectives and serves to support the growth and evolution of our hearts and minds.
On this potent full moon, will you choose to let the black wolf within reveal where you've denied yourself, and in turn, choose to allow your white wolf within to reclaim and step fully into all of you, once more.
May you hear the howl of the wolf within. May you feel the courage in your heart rise. And may you embody your song so fully, that your pack hears you on the wind.
Moon blessings to you dear soul,
