January Moon: The Unspoken

The first Full Moon of 2023 greets us on a Friday, the day of Venus, during the Wolf Moon. This marks a time when deep emotions swirl together. While the people of North America used to believe that they heard wolves howling in the winter nights because of hunger. We now know they also howl to communicate and express themselves, You may feel the need to howl yourself. 

It's the new year and time for new beginnings, free of the baggage of the past. Compulsively dwelling over past hurts could keep wounds from truly healing. If you find yourself obsessing over prior pain, try to become consciously aware that it happened long ago, and you are in a place of safety now.

What have you left unspoken after the holidays? What deep emotions lie within you that you need to be heard, witnessed, and expressed? You may struggle, in the cold and dark, to even release the words clogged in your throat. Use these notes  as a guide to meditation over the course of the month. Write down what you consider unsayable - and then how to say it.
