The first Full Moon of 2026 takes place in watery Cancer on January 03, reminding us to pay attention to our inner child. The Crab is all about connecting with the vulnerable parts of ourselves, about our connections to our home and family — everything that gives us this sense of belonging.
Like with every Full Moon, the January 03 Full Moon in Cancer calls us to accept the ending of a cycle, dare to come out of our comfort zone, and consciously move toward the next part of our journey.
Read on to find out how this Full Moon in Cancer will affect you, based on your zodiac sign.
Aries
Make peace with the part of yourself that feels grumpy and wants to hide under the duvet like a sullen teenager. Forgive it.
Taurus
Learn not to be flippant about what you say, especially what you write. Lead with kindness and understanding instead. Words have consequences.
Gemini
A financial gamble you took, or an investment you made, may not have paid out. You should keep trying to improve your situation.
Cancer
You can change all the things about yourself that frustrate you or disappoint you. Or at least change your view of them.
Leo
You feel like you’re crashing out — and that’s because you are. Stop pushing yourself so hard. Rest. Your body needs to catch up.
Virgo
Some friendships won’t be able to follow you to this next part of your journey. It’s sad, but it’s also normal.
Libra
Yes, it’s sad that a work project didn’t pan out or that you didn’t get that position. But also, better things are coming.
Scorpio
Trips may be canceled or need to be rescheduled now, especially if they involve studying. You need to be flexible. Roll with it.
Sagittarius
Not everyone deserves your trust and your truth. Be discerning, as secrets are about to come out now. See who people really are.
Capricorn
Giving and compromising in relationships is all well and good, but if it’s not reciprocated, then these relationships should come to an end.
Aquarius
Prioritize your health. Set better and firmer boundaries. Rest more. It’s obvious that the way you’ve been treating yourself can’t continue anymore.
Pisces
Not every period in your life is about fun and games. If you’re feeling uninspired and gloomy, ask yourself why. What’s currently missing?
