January’s full moon might make you cry!

The lunar moon, nicknamed the “Wolf Moon,” will peak at 2:27 p.m. PT on January 13, marking the first full moon of 2025. It will rise two weeks before entering its new phase.

While this astronomical event is sure to light up the night sky with its radiance, it also has special astrological significance as it rises in the sign of Cancer (24 degrees) this year. While all lunar phases electrify the cosmos, the effects of full moons are particularly strong.

“These periods typically represent turning points, climaxes, endings, or awakenings,” celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas tells PEOPLE exclusively of the days before and after the peak of a full moon. Emotions can run high during these times.

Cancer, the fourth zodiac sign on the wheel, resonates with domesticity, emotional security, ancestors, and families. According to Thomas, this water sign’s energy will “energize our lives” and “allow us to reflect on the past and better understand our fundamentals so we can achieve our goals.”

“Our emotional centers and intuition are also stimulated by this craziness, so pay attention to what your heart and mind are telling you,” he adds. “Without stability under our feet, we cannot reach the stars!”

Thomas says that “various astrological aspects” will influence this lunation, such as the sextile of the moon Uranus, which will likely bring “stimulating personal encounters and exciting events” into our lives. “You’ll feel more open to change, an excellent time to try something new.”

The full moon will also be conjunct Mars, which Thomas says will bring us “courage, enthusiasm and initiative to pursue our desires.” He adds: “We can experience more charisma and sex appeal, but we must be aware that our emotions can make us impulsive or intense.”

Additionally, this lunation will trine Neptune, which, according to Thomas, could put us in a “sensitive, romantic and imaginative mood.” The full moon will also be opposite Pluto, which he says could be intense, while Saturn’s trine will “help us with stability as we breathe through it instead.”

Read on to find out what January’s full moon means for your zodiac sign, according to Kyle Thomas’ predictions!

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Home is where the heart is, Aries. “You may be facing an emotional shift related to a domestic matter,” predicts Thomas.

“Some may receive sudden news that upends how you have previously handled a family, home or real estate matter. You may have to intervene to help a parent or one of your relatives, but the situation may end. “It’s quite frustrating and you have to persevere,” he says.

If you suddenly feel the urge to move or redecorate your space, Thomas has some good news! “You may be able to suddenly change the sense of joy you feel in your living space,” he says.

Taurus (April 19 – May 20)

If you’ve been working on a project, Taurus, expect a big turning point. Thomas anticipates that you might shift your focus to “a writing, speaking, advertising, or social media initiative.”

As you try to nail down all the pieces, he says you “could make a lot of progress” – but at the same time, he says that “you might be quite emotional about how it all fits together.”

Elsewhere in his prediction, Thomas says that “a major contract could be coming up shortly” and “you may feel a little pressured to sign it.” He advises “delaying” if you can, even if it feels like it’s being “forced” on you.

Gemini (May 20 – June 20)

Do you see green, Gemini? “You have a big financial matter to deal with,” predicts Thomas, noting that “it might feel like a bigger expense than you’re comfortable dealing with.”

January’s full moon may also make you “realize that you need to make some serious adjustments” to your budget and finances. “This madness could also bring news of a new job, a raise or a lucrative client, so be on the hunt,” he explains.

Cancer (June 20 – July 22)

Expect changes, Cancer. “Now is a big turning point for you,” predicts Thomas.

“This particular craziness could lead to power struggles and intense revelations between you and a partner,” he says. “You are clearly asserting your authority and power during this time and may be experiencing the climax or turning point in a passion project or dream.”

Thomas adds, “If you need help during this time, think outside the box and reach out to others who may be able to step in and give you what you need.”

Leo (July 22nd – August 22nd)

It’s time to rest and recharge, Leo. January’s full moon will make you “quite anxious and cause you to dig deep to decide what you need to let go of in order to be a happier and brighter version of yourself,” Thomas predicts.

“Your dreams could be particularly intense and now a secret that you or someone else is desperately trying to hide may come to light,” he elaborates. “This allows emotions to be awakened and past situations to be discussed again.”

Thomas suggests, “The best way to deal with this energy is to relax, make plans, and focus on a getaway.”

Virgo (August 22 – September 22)

Celebrate the New Year, Virgo! “Celebratory events and plans could fill your social calendar at this time,” predicts Thomas.

While there’s a lot to enjoy in this craziness, he says, to expect some “push-pull energy” between you and a friend (or someone you’re dating). This energy can also “manifest” in children, he adds.

To best avoid the drama, Thomas recommends “taking a breath.” He adds: “Remind everyone that it is better to bring love into the world and not hate.”

Libra (September 22nd – October 22nd)

Get ready to deal with personal and professional matters, Libra. “Also, be prepared to deal with some home and family tensions as you strive for new professional heights,” explains Thomas.

“There can be big changes in your career,” he adds. “Depending on how hard you’ve worked over the last few months, you could be getting a promotion, a new job, or recognition.” If the mood isn’t right with an authority figure, he advises you to “explain your side of the story.” .

Scorpio (October 22nd – November 21st)

Fly high, scorpion! “Get ready to reach new heights,” says Thomas.

Although this is an exciting time, he predicts that you may also feel a “tension” that is “limiting any success or travel plans” you had in mind. “Significant legal or contractual situations could also arise, particularly with regard to media, academic or international business,” he adds.

Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)

Close to the Sagittarius Full Moon, intimacy will be at the forefront. On the one hand, says Thomas, you can feel “close” to your partner.

On the other hand, the energy of this craziness could cause you to turn into the opposite. If there is a distance or discrepancy, he says, “You might rehash the details or even decide it’s time to file for divorce and pursue a settlement.”

Elsewhere in Thomas’ prediction, he says your focus could instead be on “a big money issue.”

Capricorn (December 21st – January 19th)

Take a close look at your partnerships, Capricorn. Thomas says you should ask yourself, “Are you on the same page or are you just growing apart?”

Emotions might feel “particularly intense” around January’s full moon, as it calls this time a “make-or-break time” for your relationships. Perhaps you could experience a “transformative revelation” to bring you closer, such as moving in together or getting married.

On the other hand, if tension arises between you and your significant other, Thomas predicts there could be a “dramatic episode” that could “drift you apart like leaves in the wind,” he says.

Aquarius (January 19th – February 18th)

Get ready to get down to business, Aquarius! “You may be quite busy putting the finishing touches on an employment or work-related project at this point,” says Thomas.

If you’re looking for a new job or want to take on more responsibility in your current role, this craziness may present you with opportunities. You may also find yourself “rethinking” your work-life balance – or rather, analyzing your health and fitness plans.

Finally, Thomas says your pet could be in for a “tough time” near this full moon. “Some Aquarians may also choose to adopt at this point,” he adds.

Pisces (February 18th – March 20th)

Love is in the air, Pisces! “Let your mind wander and have a little fun,” says Thomas.

At the same time, however, he warns that this madness could cause “some power struggles” or “tensions” between you and your romantic partner (or even a friend). “Your acquaintance may not agree with you on your relationship or may have ulterior motives of their own,” he says.

On the bright side, if you have an open heart, Thomas says you can “leave the drama behind” and instead “focus on your true desires.” If you’re single, he predicts you may find someone new “through your network” at this point.
