As Moore explains, it also represents “a time to reconnect with the hearth of home and family”—the warming shelter and close bonds that sustain us through challenging seasons.

Expanding on this, spiritual healer Dr. Jonathan Dubois shares: “Wolves teach us to know who we are and help us develop strength, confidence and surety about who we are.”

The solitary winter period, epitomized by the Wolf Moon, can test a person’s sense of self. But as Dr. Dubois indicates, the Wolf Moon radiates transformational power, and by looking inward, embracing our authentic selves and connecting with those closest to us, it brings us opportunities for self-acceptance and growth.
