🌕 Full Moon in Cancer • January 3, 2026 5:03 am est
The first Full Moon of the year opens the emotional gates.
This Full Moon in Cancer arrives like a tide at night, gentle but undeniable. As the Moon returns home to its ruling sign, it illuminates our inner sanctuaries: the heart, the home, the memories we carry, and the places where we seek safety and belonging.
Cancer’s medicine is emotional truth. Not the dramatic kind, but the quiet knowing that lives in the body. This lunation invites you to soften your grip, tend to what feels tender, and honor emotions without judgment. What has been held too long can now be released with compassion.
This is a powerful moment to reassess how you nurture yourself and others. Where are you over-giving? Where are you withholding care from yourself? Balance is restored when giving and receiving are allowed to flow both ways.
