🌕 TONIGHT Prepare for a bright start to the year. On the night of January 3rd, the first full moon of the year will rise. Known as the Super Wolf Moon, this event occurs because the moon is at perigee (closest to Earth). Expect it to look approximately 14% larger and 30% more luminous than a micromoon.

🐺 Origins of the Name: The title comes from ancient traditions observing wolves howling in the dead of winter. While once attributed to starvation, biology tells us these wolves were using the moonlight to define social boundaries and coordinate hunting parties.

👀 Don't Miss Jupiter: The bright, jewel-toned light appearing next to the Moon is the planet Jupiter. It is currently reaching opposition, meaning it is at peak visibility and brightness, creating a beautiful sight alongside the lunar surface.

The full moon tends to mark a big build-up of energy, making it a powerful time to cleanse your space – mentally, physically and emotionally. One of the most powerful full moon ritual is cleansing your living and work spaces of negative energy. Light a white candle and burn some sage or palo santo to purify the air.

For witches, pagans, and spiritual practitioners, the Wolf Moon is a time for rituals involving inner strength, protection, and connecting with Winter's wisdom.

How to Connect Tonight:
Identify the Phase: Check what phase the moon is in tonight (e.g., Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, New Moon).
Reflect & Journal: Ask what this phase means for you, what you've accomplished (waning) or want to start (new), and journal your feelings.
Meditate: Spend time under the moonlight (or visualize it) to feel its energy and align with its cycle.
Release or Set Intentions: Write down what you want to release (waning) or manifest (waxing/new) and focus your energy there.

Write down anything that no longer serves you and that you're ready to let go of. Safely burn the paper. As the paper turns to ash, visualize the things you want to release leaving your life. Say a prayer or affirmation, expressing gratitude to the universe for assisting you in this process.

They're getting together to plan 2026 as the most blessed year ever.

Bring on that Cosmic Shift ❤️✨️🎉

A Celestial Farewell to 2025: The Moon Meets the Seven Sisters ✨ 🌙
As the clock ticks down on the final hours of 2025, nature is putting on a display far more ancient and beautiful than any fireworks show. On New Year’s Eve, look up into the winter sky to witness a stunning cosmic dance.

Our bright, glowing Moon will be gliding incredibly close to the Pleiades star cluster—also known as the "Seven Sisters." In mythology, these sisters were transformed into stars to save them from pursuit, shimmering eternally in the night sky. To see them reunited with the Moon on the very last night of the year feels like a special omen of peace and wonder for the year ahead.

📅 When: The night of December 31, 2025

👀 Where: Look for the bright Moon; the tiny, dipper-shaped cluster of blue stars will be right nearby..

🔭 Tip: If you have binoculars, grab them! The glare of the moon can make the sisters shy; binoculars will help them sparkle against the lunar glow.

Moongazers are in for a busy 2026, with 13 full moons lighting up the night sky instead of the usual 12. Beginning with a dramatic Wolf Supermoon in January and ending with the biggest supermoon for 19 years, 2026 will bring a rare blue moon in May as well as two stunning lunar eclipses both visible from North America.

* Jan. 3 2026: Wolf Supermoon. The first full moon of the year is also a supermoon, kicking off 2026 with an extra-big, extra-bright full moon — though it’s the fourth supermoon in a row after October, November and December’s full moons.

* Feb. 1 2026: Snow Moon. The second full moon of the year and of the season, is traditionally linked in the Northern Hemisphere with the coldest, snowiest nights.

* March 3 2026: Worm Moon. The Worm Moon brings the year’s only total lunar “blood moon” eclipse early on March 3.

* April 1 2026: Pink Moon. The first full moon of spring, the Pink Moon heralds longer evenings and the first flush of seasonal wildflowers in the Northern Hemisphere.

* May 1 2026: Flower Moon. The Flower Moon marks peak spring, rising when blossoms are at their best and setting up a rare second full moon later in the month.

* May 31 2026: Blue Moon. The second full moon in May and the first Blue Moon since Aug. 19, 2024, this monthly Blue Moon — defined as the second full moon in a single calendar month — is also a micromoon, the opposite to a supermoon.

* June 29 2026: Strawberry Moon. The first full moon of summer and another micromoon, the Strawberry Moon will appear slightly smaller and dimmer because the moon is farther from Earth.

* July 29 2026: Buck Moon. Another micromoon and the second full moon of summer, July’s Buck Moon is named for the time when male deer grow new antlers.

* Aug 28 2026: Sturgeon Moon. The Sturgeon Moon coincides with a very deep partial lunar eclipse that leaves about 96% of the lunar disk in Earth’s shadow.

* Sept 26 2026: Harvest Moon. The famous Harvest Moon is the first full moon of fall, rising a few days after the autumn equinox and shining close to golden Saturn in the evening sky.

* Oct 26 2026: Hunter’s Moon. The Hunter’s Moon is the second full moon of fall, traditionally lighting post-harvest hunts and long autumn nights.

* Nov 24 2026: Beaver Supermoon. The Beaver Moon is a bright late-autumn supermoon and the second of the year, named for the season when beavers prepare for winter.

* Dec 24 2026: Cold Supermoon. The Cold Moon is a Christmas Eve supermoon and the closest full moon to Earth since 2019, making it the biggest and brightest lunar show of the year.

Supermoons In 2026
Three full moons in 2026 qualify as supermoons: the Wolf Moon on Jan. 3, the Beaver Moon on Nov. 24 and the Cold Moon on Dec. 24. Each occurs when the moon is full while near perigee — its closest point to Earth in its slightly elliptical orbit — so it appears a little larger and brighter than average, especially at moonrise. The headline act is the Cold Supermoon on Christmas Eve, when the moon comes to within about 221,668 miles (356,740 kilometers) of Earth, edging out the February 2019 supermoon and becoming the closest and “biggest” full moon between 2019 and the late 2020s — and among the standout supermoons of the 21st century.
