Wolf Supermoon (2)
FYI. These moon shots were hand held while I was at Highfields Park, Nottingham.
The first Supermoon of 2026. It's known as the Wolf Moon in the Northern Hemisphere because it marks the time of year when it was believed that wolves howled more, as there was less food around. However, it is also sometimes referred to as the Old Moon or Ice Moon
On Friday, 02 January 2026 the Moon was in its Waxing Gibbous phase, with 98.8% of the visible lunar disk illuminated by the Sun. It was 13.74 days in its 29.5 days phases cycle.
Waxing Gibbous, 99% / 0.54, Gemini
Moonrise: 14:26 Moonset: 07:46
The Waxing Gibbous phase shows more than half of the lunar surface illuminated. The terminator, currently at lunar longitude 282.5°, is receding westward across the lunar disk. Features located near the terminator provide high-contrast views due to the elongated shadows they produce.
The Moon in Gemini.
Moon in Gemini manifests itself by the need for changes and spontaneity. Safety lies in thinking about your feelings and sharing them with others. You can be more talkative and speak with ease these days. You might have a better ability to keep a cool head, but beware, cold heart can discourage others. Harmony of thinking and feeling is important.
Organs influenced by the Gemini Moon Sign:
Shoulders, arms, hands, respiratory system, bronchial tubes, lungs, nervous connections for Sensor and motor skills, blood capillaries.
Surgical operations are not recommended during the Waxing Moon.
