As the calendar turns and the world collectively names a “new year,” the cosmos offers a quieter, deeper initiation.
In this episode, I explore the Full Moon in Cancer on January 3rd, 2026, rising just days into the calendar year yet carrying a far older and more primordial message. While astrologers know the true astrological new year begins at the Aries Equinox, this Cancer Full Moon arrives as a powerful threshold moment—one of illumination, remembrance, purification, and inner reckoning.
We move into the heart of what this lunation awakens: the cosmic womb of Cancer, expanded by Jupiter retrograde, inviting inward growth rather than outward striving. This is a moon that does not ask us to rush forward, but to pause, reflect, and listen—to memory, to instinct, to what is quietly gestating beneath the surface.
This moon is also conjunct to Sirius, now at its highest point in the sky, carrying ancient initiatory frequencies tied to Hathor, Isis, and Magdalene. Sirius reminds us that creation is always underway—whether conscious or unconscious—and that this moment offers a profound opportunity to choose what we are birthing into 2026.
We explore:
The polarity of Sun and Moon as an activation of awareness
Venus and Mars aligning in support of embodied intention
Capricorn’s Midheaven illumination and questions of sovereignty and ambition
The balance of light and dark as a gateway to clarity
Why this Full Moon marks a cycle of death and renewal, not resolution
This is not about setting goals from the mind—but about sensing what wants to emerge from the depths.
As the year ahead promises rapid transformation, cardinal fire, and air-driven acceleration, this Full Moon serves as a still point before the movement. An initiation into conscious creation. A remembering of what truly matters.
May this episode meet you in reflection—and help you align with the energy you are here to embody in 2026.
