The Full Moon Effect: How Lunar Magic Influences Behavior
The first full Moon of 2025 occurs on the night of Monday, January 13. Why do we call January’s Moon a “Wolf Moon”? Find out what’s special about this month’s Moon. The full moon has captivated humanity for centuries, inspiring myths, folklore, and even scientific curiosity. From ancient civilizations charting its cycles to modern tales of “lunacy,” the moon’s influence has been a constant subject of wonder. But is there any truth to the idea that the full moon affects human behavior?
Many believe that the full moon stirs something deep within us—causing heightened emotions, restless nights, and even an uptick in energy. Emergency rooms report spikes in activity, sleep studies show disruptions, and folklore claims that the full moon brings out the wild side in all of us. While science debates the exact mechanisms, there’s no denying that the moon holds a certain power over us.
The Wolf Moon
It’s thought that January’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter, but we know today that isn’t accurate.
Howling and other wolf vocalizations are heard in the wintertime to locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, define territory, and coordinate hunting.
