THE EMOTIONAL BIRTH OF THE YEAR ✨CANCER SUPERMOON INSIDE THE 1:1:1 → 1:11:1 GATEWAY ✨ JANUARY 3, 2026

Dear friends, today’s Full Super Moon rises like a tide pulling on the deepest chambers of the heart. As the first full moon of the year, and a Cancer moon no less, it arrives saturated with memory, emotion, and ancestral feeling. Cancer rules the inner waters—home, belonging, safety—and under a supermoon, these themes swell beyond the personal. This moon does not whisper; it pulls. It draws old emotional imprints to the surface so they can be felt, acknowledged, and finally released. Many will sense this as tenderness, nostalgia, or a sudden awareness of what no longer feels like home within them.

What amplifies this lunation is its placement within the 1:1:1 to 1:11:1 energy corridor—a rare eleven-day initiation where the frequency of “one” repeats and compounds. One is origin, self, and truth. When held across eleven days, it becomes a corridor of emotional reorientation. This is not about manifesting outwardly yet; it is about recalibrating the emotional field so the self that steps forward is coherent and whole. The full moon acts as the emotional peak of this corridor, illuminating what must be cleared so the new identity can stabilize.

Emotionally, these eleven days behave like a cleansing wave. Feelings that were previously muted or compartmentalized may surface unexpectedly—grief without a clear story, longing without a clear object, or relief that arrives after tears. This is the emotional body reorganizing itself. Cancer energy asks us to feel without analysis, to allow emotion to move like water rather than be trapped by meaning. The clearing is gentle but thorough, working layer by layer through emotional memory stored not just in the mind, but in the tissues and nervous system.

Energetically, the chakras most activated and cleared during this moon are the root, sacral, and heart. The root chakra releases old survival patterns tied to family, lineage, and early emotional conditioning. The sacral chakra clears outdated emotional attachments, especially those connected to intimacy, dependency, and creative expression. The heart chakra undergoes a deep recalibration—softening defenses that once protected but now limit connection. This is not a surface-level clearing; it is cellular and somatic, often felt as fatigue, pressure in the chest, or waves of emotion without obvious cause.

As the corridor continues toward 1:11:1, the solar plexus subtly comes online—not to push or act, but to reassert authentic selfhood. After the emotional waters are purified, personal power begins to reorganize itself from a place of emotional truth rather than control. This is why decisions may feel premature right now. The system is still syncing. The body and emotional field are being taught a new baseline of safety, one that does not rely on old emotional contracts or inherited roles.

For those of you feeling extra emotionally open under this Cancer Moon, gentle energetic shielding can help you stay present without absorbing what isn’t yours. You can explore my new Bioenergetic Shielding activations here:

By the time the corridor closes, many will feel quieter but clearer. Not energized in a loud way, but grounded in a way that feels real. The January 3 Cancer supermoon marks the emotional birth canal of the year—a moment where we release who we were emotionally trained to be and make space for who we are becoming. What emerges after this is not a reaction, but a response. Not a defense, but a direction. And from this emotional coherence, the rest of the year can finally begin. Have an amazing day, much love 💖

WE ARE ONE ♡

𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧

The first Full Moon of 2026 arrives with a deeply emotional and introspective tone, setting the energetic foundation for the year ahead. It's the first of three supermoons in 2026,

The 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 occurs on 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟑, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, reaching peak illumination at 𝟏𝟎:𝟎𝟐 𝐔𝐓𝐂, which translates to 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝟓:𝟎𝟐 𝐚.𝐦. 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞. As the first full lunation of the calendar year, it carries added weight. This moon often acts as an emotional checkpoint, revealing what still lingers from the past and what must be acknowledged or released before moving forward.

Astrologically, this Full Moon takes place in the water sign of Cancer, at approximately 13 degrees. Cancer is ruled by the Moon itself, making this lunation especially potent. When the Moon is at home in its own sign, emotions rise closer to the surface, intuition sharpens, and the pull toward memory, safety, and emotional truth becomes impossible to ignore.

Traditionally known as the Wolf Moon, the January Full Moon has long been associated with endurance, instinct, and survival through the heart of winter. Wolves symbolize loyalty, protection, and the wisdom of listening inward when the world feels harsh or uncertain. This imagery mirrors Cancer’s energy, which teaches that vulnerability is not weakness but a form of quiet strength.

With the Moon in Cancer opposing the Sun in Capricorn, this Full Moon highlights the balance between inner emotional needs and outer responsibilities. Capricorn focuses on structure, work, long-term goals, and resilience, while Cancer asks for rest, nourishment, and emotional honesty. Under this lunation, many people may feel stretched between what they are expected to do and what they truly need to feel safe and whole.

Emotionally, this Full Moon can bring old memories, family themes, ancestral patterns, or unresolved feelings to the surface. This is not a moon for suppression. Cancer energy asks you to feel first and analyze later. Gentle release, emotional boundaries, and self-compassion are key.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧

𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
This Full Moon illuminates your home, family, and emotional foundation. You may feel called to slow down and tend to matters of the heart rather than charging ahead. Issues around belonging, childhood patterns, or emotional safety may surface, asking for reflection instead of reaction.

𝐓𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐮𝐬
Communication becomes emotionally charged under this moon. Conversations you have now may carry deeper meaning than expected. This is a powerful time to speak your truth gently, write from the heart, or release unspoken feelings that have been weighing on you.

𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢
The Cancer Full Moon highlights themes of security, self-worth, and emotional attachment to resources. You may reassess what truly makes you feel safe, not just financially, but emotionally. Let go of beliefs that tie your value to productivity alone.

𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫
This is your Full Moon, and it shines directly on your sense of identity and emotional truth. You may feel especially sensitive, but also deeply intuitive. This is a powerful moment for release, self-honoring, and reclaiming emotional boundaries that protect your peace.

𝐋𝐞𝐨
This lunation activates your inner world, dreams, and subconscious patterns. You may feel called to retreat, rest, or process emotions privately. Pay attention to dreams, intuitive nudges, and emotional fatigue. Healing happens in quiet spaces now.

𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐨
Friendships, community, and emotional reciprocity come into focus. You may realize where emotional effort has been uneven or where connections no longer feel nourishing. This Full Moon supports releasing social obligations that drain rather than uplift you.

𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚
Career, visibility, and public roles are highlighted under this Full Moon. Emotional truths related to your work or responsibilities may surface. You may feel torn between professional expectations and personal needs. Balance comes from honoring both, without self-abandonment.

𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐢𝐨
This Cancer Full Moon resonates deeply with you, stirring themes of belief, spirituality, and emotional expansion. You may feel drawn toward deeper meaning, ancestral wisdom, or emotional truths that reshape how you see your path forward.

𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬
Shared resources, emotional intimacy, and trust come to the forefront. This Full Moon may reveal where emotional vulnerability feels difficult or where energetic cords need gentle release. Healing happens through honesty and emotional courage.

𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧
This Full Moon directly opposes your sign, spotlighting relationships and emotional dynamics with others. You may gain clarity around where you give too much or hold too tightly. Emotional balance in partnerships becomes a key theme now.

𝐀𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬
Daily routines, emotional well-being, and self-care take center stage. This Full Moon asks you to check in with your body and emotional health. Small changes in habits can bring profound emotional relief if you listen closely.

𝐏𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐬
Creativity, pleasure, and emotional expression bloom under this Full Moon. Feelings tied to joy, romance, or creative identity may rise to the surface. This is a beautiful time to release creative blocks and allow emotional expression without judgment.

Although we’re moving into the creative intensity of a Fire Horse year, for those in the Northern Hemisphere this is an active pulse at odds with our natural instinct to slow down, turn inward and withdraw into winter.
Soul in its winter phase often takes on a leaden heaviness that compels us toward depth, where we enter secret alliances with Nature that invite us to be still, quiet, and hibernate in warm safety. Within this internal sanctuary our energies are free to rearrange, restore their faded vitality, gather themselves together, and reorient around embryonic new centres of love and creativity.
Wintering soul like a dormant bulb draws comfort and companionship from this ability to nurture itself, sustained by inner wells and stored nourishment, and surrendered to Nature’s seasonal rhythm. Allow yourself the gift of this regenerating pause.
And when like a germinating seed you sense that it’s time to emerge from your winter cocoon, Fire Horse will await you, ready to breathe into you the warmth of Spring’s new beginnings.

You can eat all the kale🥬 and run 🏃‍♀️5k a day to optimize health while living with fear and worry😟.
You can also eat a cheeseburger 🍔 post-meditation 🧘quite joyfully thank you! 😋
You get to pick and that's the adventure of the journey.
But none of us can't outrun, out-eat, out-meditate, or out-counsel imbalance.
Static balance is as much an impossibility as trying to balance on your bike when you're not peddling. Homeostasis requires our action and choices and the energy that creates. It requires copious amounts of patience and a whole lot of grace that we won't get it perfect (we're not supposed to). It requires community to learn from and lean on. And it requires loving attention to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual because they're all connected. It's in the moments of imbalance (illness, emotional breakdown, mental fatigue, and spiritual questioning) that we get to see how connected it all is. How what we feel and think affects us physiologically, and conversely how our physical health impacts us emotionally and mentally. So how do we deal with all these variables happening at the same time? The journey is exhausting and unending. Do we ever reach homeostasis? We do, in moments, small powerful moments born of intention and action. Progress, not perfection, as they say.
Keep pedaling friends. I'm pedaling too 🚲❤️

1000% yes to this! I've said it before. Proclaiming a space to be safe, doesn't make it so. Safe spaces are cultivated & curated. They are informed, protected, & clean (literally & energetically). They are birthed from the Work. Of learning, listening, testing & adjusting. Holding space for your growth as the giver & their needs as the receiver.

How does someone discern if a space is safe? It may not be easy to trust your intuition when you're hurting or seeking. But you can look at actions & interactions, because they reflect character & integrity. Actions always speak louder than words. Reputation is not marketing & perception. Outwards shows of success. It's word of mouth, community stories, & how they've treated others.

So next time you consider a service, session or retreat, look at whether it's a safe space. It's a privilege for others to have your trust (& your money). Believe that you are worthy of that. ❤️🙏

Love this! 'My plate is as full as I'd like it.' It illustrates an equal balance of respect for oneself and for the asker. Allotting the necessary space to maintain your balance and quality of output, while not taking on extra, which would not receive the fullness of your efforts. No apologizing, no guilt, just a healthy boundary. It's self-love and mutual respect at the same time. And it's just damn smart at work and in your personal life!

I acknowledge the Anishinaabe Algonquin People whose traditional unceded, unsurrendered territory that I work and live on.

I am grateful to live in this country, Canada, as we approach its birthday. Yet my throat chokes and eyes fill as I acknowledge how this country was created - of lands that were taken, children stolen, and generations of systemic racism. Though I cannot go back to change it, I can live in reverence and appreciation for these lands and its caretakers. I can walk in ways to heal hearts and trauma, learn and listen, work against the colonial systems that exist and still cause harm, and pray for peace for all.

The actual quote from Brene Brown is that it lives in 'the muscle.' Her quote is based on an ancient saying from the Asaro tribe in Papua New Guinea, which says it lives in 'the bones.' suggesting that the truth must be so deeply rooted within us that it affects us from the inside out.

Maya Angelou once said 'when you know better, you do better', and while I love that sentiment, I know it's not as simple as that. You CAN know better and still repeat the pattern like on automatic pilot. We shift patterns when we embody truth and knowledge, into our muscles, our bones...our body.

I grew up assuming people were good, then become hurt when they turned out not to be. Maybe it was naive or innocent, or maybe I didn't want negativity to give me a cynical heart. But as I've grown, I've come to appreciate that seeing people as 'Good' or 'Bad' is unfair. Good & bad are subjective moving targets, & most often they are temporary states of being. What is more important to me now is what is REAL in people. We've seen 'good' co-opted as an identity to mask all the 'not good' they do. They are the bullies at recess who are praised by teachers for their manners in class. They are the business owners who have an attractive customer-facing presence but don't do right by them behind the scenes. Or the customer who shoplifts & justifies it by the business success, then volunteers at church. On the world stage 'good' is defined by a wide spectrum of opinions & religious beliefs, often weaponized against vulnerable people. 'Good' as an identity too often justifies sh*tty behaviour (if you've ever said to yourself 'but I'm a good person' perhaps check in with yourself).
But 'Real'...doesn't worry about hiding anything. Real is authentic, transparent, & very often willing to listen & learn. Real has done the work. Real knows when they've been sh*tty & when they've been good (and they don't wear either like a badge).

I can deal with an assh*ole anyday if they are being really true to who they are. I may not like their approach, but I know what I can expect from them. But someone who shakes your hand & smiles then stabs you in the back behind closed doors while maintaining a 'good' image...nope, those folks are not for me.

So, do I believe there is 'real' good in this world? Absolutely. Do I believe there is 'real' bad in this world? Yep, it exists (in fact it has to for illuminating what's really good). Do I still give folks the benefit of the doubt? Sure.
But actions speak louder than words. Show up real & you'll have the respect of many. Anyway, those are my random thoughts from the universe today.
Keep it real friends ❤️✌️☮️

There is nothing like post reiki feels. Your heart filled with gratitude for the beauty of reiki energy and an overflowing sense of connectness with the special people who place their trust in your hands. It is something sacred and I'll never take it for granted. Thank you for the honour to introduce reiki as a first-timer, and the privilege of continuing with it as part of your care and growth.
