Moon Phases and Full Moons 2025

Moon Phases

Harnessing Lunar Energy

On 13 January, Kent’s skies were illuminated by the Wolf Moon, the first full moon of the year. Known for its deep spiritual significance, this powerful lunar event encouraged reflection, connection, and renewal. As the first full moon of 2025, it set the tone for the months ahead, inviting us to embrace inner strength and healing.

The Energy of the Wolf Moon

The Wolf Moon has long been associated with resilience, intuition, and community. Named after the howling wolves of midwinter, this moon serves as a reminder to nurture our connections—both with others and within ourselves. Many experienced heightened emotions, a sense of nostalgia, and a deep need for grounding.

Did you feel more introspective or emotionally charged? It’s common during a full moon to experience shifts in energy, making it a perfect time for spiritual practices, journaling, or holistic healing.

Preparing for the Next Full Moon – Snow Moon on 12 February

If you missed the Wolf Moon’s energy, don’t worry—the next full moon, the Snow Moon, will rise on 12 February. This moon is traditionally linked to endurance and renewal, providing another opportunity for reflection and growth.
