January’s Wolf Moon
Full Moon in January
In some Native American naming traditions, the January moon is associated with endurance through the dead of winter (in northern regions), while in other cultures it may celebrate growth and abundance in warmer climates.
Northern Hemisphere - Wolf Moon
January’s full moon is commonly called the Wolf Moon, a name that comes from northern folklore about wolves howling more frequently during winter nights. It evokes themes of intuition, inner strength, survival, and emotional clarity. Other historical names include Stay Home Moon, Quiet Moon, and Moon After Yule in Anglo-Saxon and Celtic traditions.
Southern Hemisphere - Thunder Moon
In the Southern Hemisphere, January occurs in mid-summer. Traditional Southern Hemisphere lunar names include Thunder Moon, Mead Moon, Hay Moon, or Buck Moon, reflecting summer storms, harvest grasses, and abundant ecosystem activity.
