The moon is not a planet, as one presidential favorite thought, but the only known natural satellite of the earth that orbits in this way. Sometimes there is a full moon. The January one is called a wolf.
The January full moon occurred today night, precisely on January 7 at 0:07 in the sign of Cancer. The next one will happen according to the lunar calendar on Sunday January 5 in the sign of Leo.
The first full moon of the year is called “wolf”, which has its own explanation. Even if this time it doesn’t seem like it looking at the thermometer, it happens in winter, when the packs of wolves howl at the moon.
The full moon is one of the lunar phases in which the entire earth-facing hemisphere is illuminated by the sun. It is also the only lunar phase during which a lunar eclipse can sometimes be observed. Its opposite is new.
The full moon is considered the most magical phase of the month. Some people have trouble sleeping with it.
