Full Moon in January 2026
The Full Wolf Supermoon is on the rise, peaking at 5:03 a.m. EST on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at 13°01 Cancer. Cancer is symbolized by the crab and is ruled by the moon itself, representing the divine feminine, oceanic feeling, the past, and our longing for it.
Themes of the Full Moon
This full moon brings up themes such as introspection, family, home, origins, the bonds that bind and the boundaries that blur, the flooding power of healing, and the silent knowing of intuition.
Tarot Readings for Each Zodiac Element
In honor of the first full moon of 2026, a tarot move has been prepared for each zodiac element.
Fire Signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
The Ace of Wands is an ignition key, and fire signs will use it to create or explore a new lifestyle ritual, a new course or class, a creative project, a travel ambition, or even their mega goal for 2026. The spark of what is to come may reveal itself in a dream at this time. Pay attention to nocturnal wanderings, stories, feelings, and strange associations, and write them down to connect the dots and let random and intuitive threads emerge new shapes in real life.
Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
The Four of Coins reveals a painful, long-hidden secret for earth signs. This full moon is clinging to something hidden deep in the heart: an old wound, a simmering regret, a piece of shame. Now it’s ready to be let go. The ritual release begins with acknowledging, clarifying, and examining the source of that pain and allowing oneself to fully feel the emotions associated with it. Take a full moon bath, sit outside in the moonbeams, and cry, write, howl, scream, rest, and wake up refreshed, cleansed, and at peace with what couldn’t be borne.
Air Signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The Page of Cups shows that the inner child is wide awake and roaming the catacombs of childhood during this full moon. What is there to learn here? What habits or rituals can be imagined in this mirror this time? What generational dynamics are repeating? What has been rejected or done differently? Warm, playful, and necessary energy can be fostered here. Let the mind wander back and see the impact that can be brought back to home and family now.
Water Signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
The Hanged Man is a reminder that healing comes in many faces. Water signs will receive new healing from a completely unexpected source during this full moon in Cancer. Maybe a Pisces person, a book, a movie, or a song, maybe an illusion or delusion harbored is shattered, but the truth is liberating and not frightening. However the healing manifests itself, it encourages those in the water to accept it with grace and gratitude. We all need new impulses to change our feelings, and something is given to us.
