The Super Full Wolf Moon in Cancer
The first Full Moon of 2026 occurs on January 3 at 2:03 AM Pacific Time and 5:03 AM Eastern Time. The Supermoon in Cancer is going to be a wild time that makes us feel nostalgic, transformative, and present-minded all at once (allowing us to live in different mindsets simultaneously). The reason is that we are leaning into a new year full of hopes and aspirations, while releasing the old. In the process, we are contemplating who and what energy we want to leave behind on our journey forward.
The Super Wolf Moon in Cancer is the emotional peak of January. This lunation offers us a moment of reflection that urges us to embrace our innate sensitivities and engage more profoundly with ourselves. We will experience a surge of tenderness and sentimentality as our hearts are open to receive love. The caveat is that we might be more guarded in how we display our affections to others, as the Moon in Cancer encourages us to engage with people in situations that make us feel safe and secure. We’ll need to protect ourselves, which means a tough exterior could intensify boundaries in relationships.
The astrology of the lunation is fierce! Venus and Mars in Capricorn oppose the Cancer Moon. Romantic Venus and passionate Mars add a push and pull dynamic, making us want what we can’t have. Additionally, we may get into arguments with loved ones because we aren’t receiving enough attention. The Supermoon creates minor frustration with Pluto in Aquarius, bringing power struggles and jealousy. The karnic Nodes of Destiny gently link up with the Full Moon, letting fate take a hand in repairing matters and relationships. Words of advice: Say how you feel in the moment, but do so delicately without using your pincers or manipulative tactics.
It’s a wonderful moment to discuss your deep inner fears with your partner. Intimacy comes from the willingness to express vulnerabilities. Even though trusting others might be hard, letting them know how their actions have affected you is key. By stating how you feel, it’ll give them a glimpse into your heart. Now, they can understand why you have strong feelings about certain situations and dynamics. Do not shy away from having complex discussions. Sometimes you have to put it out there to cure the pain and frustration you are experiencing on the inside
