Expanding The Vessel.
The Full Moon in Cancer 13º falls on January 3rd at 5:03 AM ET.
The Moon comes home, back to where it feels comforted and nourished by the soft energy of Cancer. The Moon in Cancer is always a powerful time, and this Full Moon is no different. This is a complete gestation of nurturing our inner potential. At the New Moon in Capricorn, we will break barriers and dissolve limitations. For now though, we can let the Cancerian water rush in to cleanse the space and wash away the excessive before then. By opening the floodgates, we renew ourselves and everything else around us.
We watch the Moon itself closely, as it is the leader of this lunation. Just as the Moon shines brilliantly, we too, are willing to stand in our own light. The Moon opposes the Sun, where they each stand their ground: two forces of nature. This energy is one of culmination—a reorientation of both our internal and external worlds. We are focused on our nest and our comforts, perhaps seeking to make more room for ourselves to grow this year. We are taking stock of our emotional natures and ensuring that our needs are met as we venture out into the world.
The Moon in Cancer is a time to work with our vulnerabilities and our careful, intimate natures. We hold the softest parts of ourselves closely, and honor the home we’ve built. Here, the Moon builds to joining Jupiter, inspiring our inner sanctums. The idea of vulnerability is taken to new heights. In some ways, we may feel excited for change. We understand why we must let go of the past in order to welcome a brighter tomorrow.
Jupiter brings a whirlwind of adventure and excitement at this lunation. It will not only touch the Moon, but will loosely oppose the Capricorn stellium (Sun, Venus, and Mars)! So, a sense of liberation is coming from the heart and mind. We can feel expansive or motivated. There is a huge alignment and shift within us and how we approach life in general.
Venus and Mars also plays a prominent role, as they align closely with the Sun. This is a halfway point from last year’s Mars retrograde. We have learned a lot in a year. We continue to reassess what drives us and pushes us forward. Our personal desires and relationships are being looked differently. In essence, the connections we create are evolving. With Venus in a positive influence, we seek out pleasurable moments. We are asked to be flexible in the process as Saturn in Pisces is still influencing Jupiter in Cancer. Just as life is ever-changing, we are the same: existing like the Moon, through phases and cycles that each bring us a sense of fulfillment. We are full to the brim and ready to water the gardens of 2026 in endless nourishment.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 8º to 18º , you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
If you have been feeling a little withdrawn lately, that is ok. Go with it. It seems that there has been so much emphasis on your work, career, and life direction—that it may be time to come home and tend to yourself in some way. Rest is imperative. It is necessary. Have you been allowing yourself to slow down? This Full Moon will bring a period for you to refocus your energy.
Your 4th House is being lit up at this Full Moon, where you see changes in your family and home. There can be dynamics that alter. You could be confronted to deal with your past and find peace with your memories — even if they were hard. The 4th House is about emotional foundations, and it is from here that everything is built. Stabilizing this part of your life allows for the security you seek. Some of you may bring in new members of the family, change your living space or even update your decor. You are being asked to take control of this private part of your life. Home is where the heart is, and you have to ensure that your heart is safe and protected.
Jupiter, the giver of gifts, still has 6 months in your 4th House. Here, it has expanded and grown your ability to connect more intentionally with your roots and home life. Jupiter in Cancer is calling you inward. It calls upon your ancestors and asks that you hear them, hold them, and work with them. It moves through the walls of your home, the bones in your body, and the ground beneath your feet. For the next 6 months, you will see the most abundant opportunities come in terms of your private life. Real estate matters, family matters, and emotional matters have space to heal and yield fruitfulness. Be open to what comes your way, whether that is a move, new kin, or even a little redecoration or renovation. Your sanctuary is about to get a whole lot bigger.
Use this Full Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family. Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You redefine your peace and carve out space for you to process how you feel.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
It may be time to share what has been brewing in your mind. It seems that your ideas are coming in rapid-fire, and you have so much you would like to get done now. This Full Moon in Cancer comes sweeping, shining a light on your 3rd House, so prepare to share! The 3rd House is the house of communication, thoughts, ideas, language, and local community. This is a space that feels good to you.
You may be wrapping up a project, focusing on writing content/blogs/articles, or even simply seeking to learn as much as possible. Your mind is insatiable right now. There is a call to interact and learn through those interactions, so reach out to people to help get your ideas flowing. Alternatively, you may just be feeling busier than normal. The 3rd House can have us filling our schedules quickly. Take a moment to step back and prioritize what is important to you. Are you spreading yourself too thin? What actually needs your attention right now? Be mindful of how you use your time.
Jupiter is prominent this Full Moon and is still in your 3rd House. Get ready because the next 6 months will feel busy, active. You are going to be on the move! You may find yourself itching to travel, explore, and see new things — even close to home. You don’t have to go far to find inspiration. Jupiter is granting you a wish, a chance to take a risk in a way that you have not in a long while. It is strengthening your voice, so feel as your vocal cords open and how differently you will speak. Your words will feel full, fertile, like spoken spells and prayers. Writing work, publishing, teaching, education, and relationships around you will feel undeniably abundant.
Use this Full Moon to practice balance and levity. Ask for advice and chat about your ideas. Reach out to people in your life to connect. Learn, adapt, and integrate. Reprioritize what you are doing and create less “busy-ness” in your life to welcome more of what you love. Your words hold power. Your ideas are worthy.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
With a Full Moon in your 2nd House, you will be all eyes on security. However, security can come in many forms. You will be asked to look at your resources, your values, and your self-worth. Do you feel that you are enough? Have you been giving yourself grace? Are you using your resources effectively? Perhaps you need to make changes to how you produce and accumulate.
You may be too hyper-focused on what brings you security now – but remain complacent. Strategy is important here. The long-term is where things will pay off for you. The Cancer energy at this Full Moon wants you to dream a little and stoke the creativity in your heart. It wants you to trust the talents you have and see that you are enough to make everything you want to come true. You could work on budgeting, changing banks or investments, or even shifting/changing your source(s) of income at this lunation. Don’t let impostor syndrome keep you down. You are a valuable part of your community.
Jupiter drives the ship at this Full Moon and still has 6 months in your 2nd House. You are being asked to ground yourself and solidify the roles you have taken on. Jupiter will move through your 2nd House until June 2026. Your resources will continue to get a glow up — but more your talents, values, and feelings of worthiness will, too. You are about to feel embodied…holy and totally rooted in your being. Jupiter in Cancer is nourishing the foundations of your identity. Now is the time to stand up for what you believe more than ever. Exercise what comes natural and what comes easy to you, as these things will be the most fertile.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your self-worth and your resources. Change how you see value in what you do. Ask for what you deserve and provide yourself a seat at the table. Own up to your talents and be proud of how far you have come. You are secure. Stop holding yourself back for fear of leaving comfort behind.

It is time to bring it all back to you. This Full Moon falls in your sign, highlighting your drive, motivations, and desires. It is literally illuminating the ground you walk on and where you stand. You need to know that you are being tasked with confronting anything that is currently seen as an obstacle.
This Full Moon can have you surging with energy (watch for exhaustion post-Full Moon) and will have you feeling passionate about something that has been top of mind. Whatever you want in life, it can be yours if you are willing to go for it. Your 1st House is all about the things that drive us in life. You are being told that your identity is important. You are being witnessed, perceived, and seen. The masks are coming off. Stand within your courageous being and take control of your desires. Release what has been plaguing you or holding you back.
Just after this Full Moon, the Moon will join Jupiter. Jupiter has just made a momentous move into your sign 6 months ago — deeming you the cosmic favorite until June 2026. That is right, for the next 6 months you are going to be the most nourished by Jupiter’s gold touch. You will continue to have a luck that is unfathomable. Whatever you think, it will be more. But…you have to be willing to do something that is outside your comfort zone — take some risks. Jupiter in your 1st House is only part of the equation. You need to be able to take action, have vision, and go where you have not been before. Truly, the world is your oyster in the coming months if you just give yourself the “yes”.
Use this Full Moon to fully focus on your growth and yourself. Leverage your resilience and the softness in your strength. Find what fuels you and drives you forward. Listen to your heart and make room for your passions. Desire can take you far. You can walk into the spotlight now. It is time to be seen.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
After a busy and full last few weeks, you are seeking respite and a chance to slow down. As we enter the realm of this Cancer Full Moon, you will be called into a place of rest and restoration. Your 12th House is now being illuminated by this lunation, where we can find the subconscious energy we hold coming to the surface.
You are shining a light on all that has felt hidden or unseen. Old buried emotions may come back if they have not been properly dealt with. Some of you may also be looking to engage in an ending of sorts. You could be bringing something to a close: a project, a relationship, a contract, or even a phase of your life. Whatever it is, you are asked to have faith and trust in yourself. The biggest challenge of the 12th House is knowing when to let go and learning to trust your intuition.
At this Full Moon, Jupiter will be prominent. It is still sitting behind your sign, having moved into your 12th House last June. Jupiter expands all it touches, and in a quiet part of your chart, it expands your inner sanctum. You are going to *feel* the changes before they happen. There is a call to be more in tune and in touch with your spiritual and private life. You will be walking through the valley of your subconscious, entering realms you never knew existed. This brings you to working on beautiful things behind the scenes. As someone who just had this transit over a year ago, I can tell you with confidence that the growth will not be realized in the moment…only in hindsight. The most fertile things that happened were an act of pure divine intervention and so subtle that I almost missed them every time. Consider Jupiter in your 12th House for the next few months a domino effect.
Use this Full Moon to take time away and reflect. Rest and restore. Listen to your intuition and slow down. Practice mindfulness and pay attention to your dreams. Create for the sake of creating. Play just because you can. Endings are near, but so too, are new beginnings.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
When was the last time you allowed yourself to envision what tomorrow could look like? The future is unpredictable, but sometimes we need to be reminded to have a little hope. This Full Moon in Cancer may be just what you need to engage with that energy. It will shine brilliantly in your 11th House of hopes, dreams, the future, network, and community.
You are being called to surround yourself with people who want to support and uplift you. Friends will be coming out of the woodwork and showing up for you. The community you have created is abundant and allows you to flourish…just remember to reach out to them when you need their help. You may have a tendency to want to do things all on your own, but others have strengths where you feel weak. Knowing when to let other people in can be powerful for you. This Full Moon wants you to know that you are not alone. Another way to engage in this beautiful energy is to give yourself space to create, maybe even set up a plan or idea of what your next steps may look like. The future always begins today.
For the next 6 months, your circle is going to continue to expand — as is your desire to connection, network, and be social. You may find yourself craving to get more involved, to be more apart of the world around you. You could take on pivotal roles in reform or seek out to be service to those in your community. Whatever it is, you are a key component to the growth of society. Don’t forget that. Your actions will have a ripple effect. On a personal front, Jupiter in Cancer has been bringing the right people into your sphere of influence. You can find friendships to be more easeful. Your idea of your future is going to grow and change, too. What you used to see for yourself may not be where you are headed. Embrace the adventure and see what unfolds on this new pathway.
Use this Full Moon to work on your community and network. Connect with friends and open yourself to them in a new way. Weed out the people in your life who don’t want you to grow. Focus on your future and make space to dream about what tomorrow has in store for you.
Libra & Libra Rising
You may be really focusing on your work, career, or direction right now. It seems that you have been doing a lot to secure a better path for yourself. Long-term goals come to the forefront of your mind. This Full Moon in Cancer asks you to dream about what you want your career to look like. If you want to make changes, you may find that you can shed all your inhibitions ––and walk toward something more creative or in line with your vision.
Your 10th House is being illuminated in a way that it has not been for quite some time. All your work in the last few years has not been in vain. You are starting to see how even unrelated efforts are impacting the big picture for you. The ask here is that you start to clearly define your goals. You may have to be more realistic about work, or release expectations here. Maybe too much is being asked of you. You could apply for new positions, receive a promotion, leave a job, or even change careers altogether. Whatever it is, you are more aware of your position and direction. Know that once Jupiter enters this area of your chart in June, you will see an abundance of growth.
Jupiter loosely joins the Full Moon. It has just entered the most visible part of your chart as of June 9th last year. We are about 6 months into its magic. For the next 6 months, more than most, you have the opportunity to make leaps and bounds in your career. You are going to find that luck may just be on your side. People are taking notice. Your roles are expanding. Your responsibilities may expand, too (just be aware). Jupiter in the 10th is extremely auspicious. It gifts you with foresight in your industry. Everybody will want a piece of you. Know your limits because you will be asked for a lot. If you are self-employed, expect big things! If you are hoping for a promotion or career change, this may just be your time! If you just want more recognition or better working conditions, your advocacy is required but with little effort. Jupiter will open doors for you.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your career and work. Spend time dreaming up what your life direction could look like. Establish relationships with those in higher positions, and plan your long-term goals. Speak up when you are being overworked or under-valued. Leverage what you have learned this year to help you, but more – know your limits and when it’s time to ask for help.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
As you stand at the threshold of your next move, you find that you are being asked to see the potential. This is important because you are not as limited as you may have originally thought you were. Sometimes it takes seeing things from a new perspective to gain clarity or know what is possible. This Full Moon comes at a great time, as it washes over you in soft Cancer and highlights your 9th House of expansion, growth, exploration, and possibility.
You may have felt like you had one option, but have not given yourself the chance to see there are others around you. What you need to know is you are in a position where you create your destiny and your outcomes. It may require you to take a leap of fait — trusting yourself comes to mind. Some of you may be looking to gain more insight or a new skill, either through higher education, experience, travel, or self-learning. You could be taking classes, joining a cause, or confronting outdated beliefs. Whatever it is, you are all eyes toward your growth. There is so much in you that you have yet to explore. It is time to dive right in.
Jupiter is prominent at this Full Moon, as it finds itself in fellow Water sign, Cancer. This is going to abode well for you sweet Scorpion. Jupiter is going to continue to bless you with endless opportunities and tell you to aspire more. Go bigger. Go deeper. Reach. Reach. Reach. You are going to really see how far you can stretch yourself — in a good way. Very little will be off limits for you. Jupiter in your 9th House will be favorable for travel, learning new skills, eduational pursuits, visas or immigration, international work, and some legal matters. It will support you — but you have to be willing to want it and go for it. This not the time to think small. Jupiter in Cancer wants you to change your perspective. Think broader, bolder, brighter! The sky is the limit!
Use this Full Moon to know that you hold the keys to your own success. You can explore new realms, possibilities, and spiritual growth. You may go back to school, take a course, or even seek new ways to shift your perspective. The sky's the limit when you open yourself up more.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
It feels like you are making an important decision for yourself soon. You know that there is something looming– and you feel called to step back a bit. There may have been a setback or news you received that caused you to re-evaluate. This Full Moon in Cancer comes in and says it is time to let go, refocus, and transform.
It illuminates your 8th House, a space in a chart that remains in the darkness. When we are provided with light in this area, we see parts of our life that need to be addressed, healed, and confronted. You may be working through your emotions, going to therapy, or seeking counsel. You could be looking at alternative resources that may be available to you, and sharing more intimate information with people you trust. You know you want to break an important cycle or end something that isn’t working. This is a chance for you to get your ducks in a row and make your preparations. Some of you may even receive news about a bonus, contract, group project, or investment at this time, as well. There is an obvious focus on your resources, as well — both shared and personal.
Jupiter sits close to this Full Moon, and it has a special connection to you. It is your ruler as well! Jupiter is continuing to move through your 8th House. The sacred and profound part of your chart. It has asked you to study and understand your relationship with the idea of “power”. What empowers you? What takes your power away? Where or how do you share your power? The 8th House is a place of sharing, where we intimately connect with others. Strong relationships will flourish during the next 6 months. Being a place of resources, you may find that the next little bit can yield fertility in some financial situations — especially where the resources are shared. Think: inheritances, wills, trusts, loans, mortgages, bonuses, partners’ money, etc. Anything that you tap into that is not of your own making alone will be where you see the most growth. This reminds you that abundance is collective and requires many to feel sustained. You will need to be more vulnerable. Alternatively, you could find that your relationship with your sexuality will expand, as well. Explore ways to deepen your pleasure.
Use this Full Moon to do some shadow work and confront your fears. Open yourself up to the changes in life without controlling outcomes. Focus on reconnecting with parts of yourself that you thought you had lost. Reclaim your power and call back your magick. Resilience goes a long way.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
You are being called to seek balance now. This month has had you focused on yourself, your motivations, and the things you desire. Now, you are starting to see how your actions extend beyond you and bleed into those around you. You may have your mind on your relationships, your partnerships, or the “others” in your life. People hold importance now. This Full Moon in Cancer will be lighting up your 7th House of others.
You may need to focus your attention on your partner, a close friend, or a business partner. A close relationship is nourishing for you now, more than it has been lately. If you want to seek clarity around the relationships you have in your life – and you may gain it now. People are showing you who they are — believe them. You could also be asked to cultivate more equilibrium and enact better boundaries. This Full Moon puts so much emphasis on others that you may need to step outside of yourself to see what is really happening. Perspective is going to be important. Some of you may start an entirely new cycle and commit to someone or something more intently in your life.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and it sits close (enough) to this Full Moon. For the last 6 months, it has been touring your 7th House of partnerships and connections. Between now and June 2026, you will find that your close relationships will be garden yearning for love and nourishment. Luckily, you will receive what you put in. Jupiter in Cancer is going to act as a catalyst of growth in your life, bringing influential relationsihps and partners around you. Keep in mind, this isn’t limited to romance — it could be in business, pleasure, friendship, family, or practioners. All one-on-one dynamics will be impacted. If you want an agent or to collaborate with othes, now is your time! If you have been thinking of solidifying a business contract, go for it! Of course, Jupiter will grow how and where you commit. Your roles in relationships will morph, evolve — thus your commitments will, too. Consider this a lucky star for anything you seek where you are not alone.
Use this Full Moon to connect with those who are important to you. Focus on your relationships, close friends, and partners. Work on your boundaries and find a better balance in your life. You could be making strong commitments. This is all about unity and harmony.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
You have been reflecting a lot lately. You may have been making changes behind the scenes that other people are not yet seeing. You are tying up those loose ends. However, you may have felt more disconnected from what is right in front of you. There is a need to focus on the present now and gain more awareness in your daily life. This Full Moon in Cancer opens the doors to you, turning your attention to your work, health, routines, and mundane life as it shines a light on your 6th House.
This is your chance to change how you approach your day — maybe building more efficient routines or rituals that can help you deal with your schedule better. Some of you may be questioning your placement with work or your working environment. Maybe you are not totally sure which direction to go or how to start. Try not to put pressure on yourself. Since this is a Full Moon, there is a call to release — in this case, it would be expectations around what you consider to be “work”. If it isn’t fulfilling you, then why force yourself to do it? Alternatively, you could have your eyes on your health and be looking to create better habits for yourself. Whatever it is, it seems that you are trying to get organized.
Jupiter holds some influence at this Full Moon. Continuing through the sign of Cancer, it has been moving through your 6th House for the last 6 months. That means your health, work, routines, and daily life have been getting some love. Jupiter will continue to bring you an abundance of opportunities and projects, keeping you busier than you have been in a while. But don’t worry, I think you will be able to handle it. It will give you a good amount of energy, too. Its impact will change your relationship with your body, and how you move in it. It can support better health habits and allow you to see results faster than you have before. Your nourishment will come into play, not just through what eat but in all ways that you consume. You are going to be called to nourish your FULL well-being through different mindful practices, your home, and mostly your routines. You may need to expand beyond how you move about your day or week. Try new things or explore different methods of finding joy in the mundane. Luck these next 6 months will be in the details. Pay attention. Blink and you just miss it.
Use this Full Moon to redefine what you want out of life. Decide what your routines look like. Make room for healthy and more clearly defined working situations. Try to have fewer expectations from others and focus on where you can create more personal security. You are being called to see what is right in front of you.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
When was the last time you decided to listen to your heart? There is a call to bring more joy, expression, and creation into your life. This Full Moon in a fellow Water sign lights up all over your 5th House, clarifying what makes you happy. Full Moons signal a release, so this may require you to let go of something that burdens you or has been weighing heavily on your heart. Sit with this.
The 5th House is all about risk, love, heart-centred action, creation, conception, and the inner child. You may want to engage in more play and pleasure. It is time to let loose and try something you normally wouldn’t. Some of you may start a new relationship, try to have a baby, or even bring more warmth and passion back into an existing relationship. Alternatively, you could be expressing yourself in an entirely new way. You are getting into a groove and more willing to put yourself out there. This requires a level of confidence that you are coming into. Give yourself grace. It is ok to take up space.
Jupiter influences this Full Moon, as it sits in your 5th House. Having been in fellow Water sign, Cancer, you noticed a positive change in your fortune. Jupiter is going to feed your creativity, pumping new life blood into what you conceive and make for the next 6 months still. Whatever your heart desires will take off with little effort. Inspiration will come like flashes of lightning, and a general sense of hope can be restored in your personal life. But Jupiter is also going to push you into the spotlight and ask that you show your authentic self. You need to be seen, FULLY witnessed in your being. This is where you will garner a lot of your creative energy. Recognition won’t be hard to come by. Play, pleasure, your inner child, and finding moments of joy will also be part of this. You need to allow yourself to experience true happiness and live in the moment. Your life is being birthed in the present. Capture it. Hold it. Create it. If you are an artist of any kind, this transit will be so good to you. For the next 6 months, your artistic genius is going to shine bright.
Use this Full Moon to embrace your inner child and make room for play and joy. Seek creativity and happiness. Listen to your heart more and let loose. You have a chance to express yourself in a new way. Don’t hide pieces of who you are. People deserve to see you — all of you.
